According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the financial industry has given $50 million in campaign contributions this years–60% to the Democrats and 40% to the Republicans. They have spent over $200 million on lobbying. Does anyone else see a problem here? Both of these major parties are owned by various big money interests, which is why we need to abolish all these donations completely, by constitutional amendment if necessary.

A mixed report card to be sure – what changes will the Obama administration do to "tweak" their plan to where it is all working? And yes, I see a major problem with the sizable donations of the financial industry to the major political parties. It sets up the appearance of a "conflict of interest. No one industry should be able to donate over so much to a party – the average voter is not fairly represented in this sort of arrangement.
