Goldman Sachs Exec Donated to Obama Senate Campaign After He Left Senate
------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Washington Times is reporting President Obama continued collecting
money for his 2010 Senate re-election campaign even after he resigned
his seat from Illinois. The money came from some of Obama’s top
presidential fundraisers, including Bruce Heyman, managing director at
Goldman Sachs, which received a $10 billion bailout last year. According
to campaign records, Obama received four contributions totaling nearly
$5,000 after December 26. The donations are legal, but the timing is
considered unusual because Obama formally left the Senate on November
16.
