Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

For quite some time now I have grown frustrated with the economic situation, not only in this country, but all over the civilized world. The picture that is unfolding before us in the news, is quite similar all around, whether you look at the US, Germany, France, England, you're pretty much seeing a common denominator: companies going under, bigger companies getting bailed out by their country's governments, banks being bailed out, foreclosures and short sales left and right... and all the banks around the world, but specifically in the US, crying bloody murder about all the money they're losing. 

Hard to believe that they're doing this in the wake of the regular guy losing house and home, safety and security for their families etc. 

The banks, at least the big players, whose names crop up everywhere, seem to largely come away unscathed. I wonder why that is?

But that is not even the point that I'm trying to make today. The point involves the two charts that I have placed below, deliberately without headings. LOOK  at them closely and COMPARE. I have looked these up after recently watching the "Zeitgeist" movies, which by the way I recommend to anyone who is interested in critical thinking and questioning the status quo. Now that you've looked at the charts, by now you have figured out that a lot of the same names pop up in both. It therefore may come as a surprise to you that the first chart outlines the major campaign sponsors of John McCain in the past election. The second chart, you probably guessed it by now, outlines the campaign sponsors of Barack Obama. 

NOW YOU TELL ME, ARE THERE REALLY TWO PARTIES IN THIS COUNTRY AND SUBSEQUENTLY, ARE WE THE PEOPLE REALLY THE ONES WHO ELECT OUR GOVERMENT?

After looking at this information, I truly have to question who's in power here. 

Feel free to dig deeper into these charts, this is where I got them 1 for obama :http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cid=N00009638&cycle=2008

2 for John McCain:http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?id=N00006424&cycle2=2008&goButt2.x=12&goButt2.y=5&goButt2=Submit
