MSNBC Parent Company Comcast Among Most Generous Donors to Obama Victory Fund

It appears Comcast CEO Brian Roberts could be among President Obama's most generous donors. Obama raised speculation over the pair's relationship when he visited Roberts' Martha’s Vineyard home on Sunday. The visit was, presumably, to solicit financial support for the Obama Victory Fund.

Comcast, of course, is also the parent company of NBC and MSNBC.

Politico reports:

It turns out that Comcast employees are also the most generous organizational donors to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Comcast employees have donated nearly $200,000 to the fund, according to an Open Secrets analysis. They top out a list that includes Goldman Sachs employees (No. 4), law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, & Flom (No. 2), and Dreamworks (No. 8).

In addition, Obama has also spent some time with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett on the phone during his vacation. Buffett’s employees similarly rank among the top 10 organizational donors to Obama, chipping in more than $100,000 so far, and landing in the No. 6 spot on the list.

Does it come as a surprise that NBC's parent company is a major donor to the Obama Victory Fund? What say you?
