How much money does Obama get from Monsanto?

Answer 1

Monsanto donated 3 times more money to republican representatives than democrats, and 2 times more to republican senators than democrats:

Obama does not take donations from lobbyists. The Obama campaigns have been supported by a much larger number of small donors and very few huge donors.

When trying to put in legislation on an industry, you must include industry people because you need to make regulation that is effective, enforceable, and not an unreasonable unjustified burdon. You cannot catch the cheaters without knowing how they cheat.

Yes, Obama did nominate Elena Kagan (who argued for Monsanto in the Monsanto v. Geertson seed case), but lawyers doing their job is not the basis for conflict of interest. Attorneys who defend murderers are not proponents of murder.

Because of Barack Obama do we now have labeling as promised? No, because the president doesn't create legislation. Obama has promised to sign GMO labeling bills, but Republican congressmen have blocked every GMO labeling bill.

Answer 2

There is no evidence to suggest that former US President Barack Obama directly receives money from Monsanto. However, it is worth noting that during his presidency, several Monsanto executives were appointed to key positions within the US Department of Agriculture.
