LP - The Democratic Presidents at the beginning are a nice touch for the Wall Street. What will Wall Street money buy you click on it and enjoy it.
According to Daily Kos
US Senator Scott Brown, who played a critical role in the battle over the 2010 financial regulatory overhaul, has used a joint fund-raising committee to collect$2.9 million in political donations over the last year, nearly half of which came from the nation’s financial sector.The mechanism is a joint committee, the Scott Brown Victory Committee, between Brown and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Campaign finance laws allow this kind of committee much higher donation limits than traditional campaign committees, $30,800 per donor per election cycle versus the $5,000 limit for regular committees.
So he has this Victory fund, along with his regular campaign committee, allowing for seven times the donation power for donors, an effective limit of $35,800. Among those donors, theGlobe reports, are "deep-pocketed venture capitalists, bankers, and leaders of some of the country’s largest investment firms."

WASHINGTON -- Letting "America Be America Again" may be a tall order, if the filming locations of some clips in Sen. Scott Brown's latest reelection ad are any indication.
The two-and-a-half-minute spot, which the Massachusetts Republican's reelection team has hailed as an "online sensation,"features three instances of stock footage filmed overseas, undercutting the ad's running theme of growing American business.
In one scene, a beaming chef is shown before he flips ingredients in a frying pan over an open flame, while President Gerald Ford praises American capitalism. According to Getty Images, the kitchen is located in Barcelona, Spain, a country currently stuck in its second recession in three years.
"Through our system of democracy and free enterprise, the United States has achieved remarkable, unbelievable progress," Ford booms as the chef flicks the frying pan.
In two other scenes, video portraits depict a butcher standing in the doorway of his shop and another worker posing in front of a delivery truck full of boxes. Both clips were filmed in Dublin, according to Getty Images.
Shortly before the camera hovers on the Irish butcher shop, President Ronald Reagan pays tribute to "the forgotten heroes of America, those who create most of our new jobs, like the owners of stores down the street."
The three clips are tagged with "Non US Location" on the Getty Images website, which also lists filming locations in each respective caption.
A Getty Images representative confirmed Monday that the cities and countries listed in the stock footage captions indicate filming locations.
A Brown spokeswoman did not respond to several requests for comment Monday.
In a statement, Massachusetts Democratic Party spokesman Matt House called Brown's rhetoric "as phony as his stock footage."
