Standing up for Wall Street

Republican Governor Bob McDonnell organized a well coordinated and presented gathering in Virginia's House of Delegates for his State of the Union Response, which included a website, a live webcast of his response, and also utilized a live twitter feed and other social media applications. soturesponse.com was the site which carried McDonnell's response.

What's interesting though is that the website and the coordinated gathering in Virginia's House of Delegates was financed by McDonnell’s political action committee: Opportunity Virginia PAC; and thanks to the Virginia Public Access Project, the majority of the financial support McDonnell's political action committee received was from the financial sector.

So it really came as no surprise then that McDonnell opposed Obama’s proposed initiatives to regulate the banks and Wall Street, break up huge banks and enforce a tax on the banks, as Wall Street bankrolled his political campaign and essentially scripted his rebuttal.
