Obama Addresses Wall Street Donors 
-----------------------------------



President Obama flew to New York last night to attend three back-to-back
fundraisers. The first event was held at the home of former New Jersey
governor and Goldman Sachs chair, Jon Corzine. The New York Times
described the $35,800-a-plate event as Obama's first in a
"kiss-and-make-up effort" with Wall Street donors. The Obama campaign is
hoping to raise $1 billion for the 2012 election.
