According to the Washington Post, Obama raised more campaign money from Bain Capital than Mitt Romney.

Romney made his fortune working for Bain capital, but only raised $34,000 in donations from 18 Bain employees. Obama, however, has already raised $76,600 from just three employees.

Of course Obama can raise money for both his campaign and for the DNC, checks, making it easier to raise more money from fewer donors.

The Post reports Obama raised a total of $15.6 million from employees in the financial industry, but $12 million of that went to the DNC. Romney on the other hand only raised 7.5 million.

Either way it softens Obama's campaign scheme to paint Republicans like Mitt Romney as pro-Wall Street in response to the Occupy Wall Street protests.
