I work for an extremely conservative company. If they ever looked themselves up on OpenSecrets, I'd probably be fired as I was the sole donor for President Obama during the Presidential campaign at our company of 1500 people.

If I draw too much attention, I will be fired, so no stickers, no signs, no canvasing. So I put up some cash so the people who can do those things are able to.

I am hard on the President because he chooses to be wrong on massively bad things to be wrong on. Financial decisions, appointments of bankers. The idea that we'd ever approve Keystone is incredible. The Canadians can't keep their part of the pipeline from spilling, but we want a piece of that action?
