Key graph:
"The next time someone tells you that donations are “legalized bribery,” ask them why Obama took $18 million from Wall Street and gave them in return endless abuse and hostile legislation.
Quid pro quo, indeed."

To a point I agree with this but what it also gains is access. Access provides influence. Those people that sent in $10 donations are not getting invited to the White House. Those bundlers are. Last week when President Obama mentioned those "savvy guys" he was talking about 2 large DNC contributers who lead businesses with PACS that contribute a large amount of money to the DNC.
Additionally, most of what the President is doing is street theater. If you can slap banks with a "responsibility fee" why not slap a "repay the government fee" on every GM car sold?
But what did the access get them that the $10 folks didn't get?
A job on the Government Motors Corporation board for one.
