Presidential Campaign

When Barack Obama ran for president in 2008, no major U.S. Corporation did more to finance his campaign than Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS -1.03%

This election, none has done more to help defeat him. Prompted by what they call regulatory attacks on their business and personal attacks on their character, executives and employees of Goldman Sachs have largely abandoned Mr. Obama and are now the top sources of money to presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the Republican Party.

Six of the banks under investigation -- JPMorgan, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, UBS, Bank of America and Barclays -- rank among Romney's top 20 donors.
