Investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., which filed for bankruptcy-court protection early Monday, has been the eighth-largest corporate giver to Sen. Obama's campaign this election cycle, with Lehman employees donating $361,000. Source
And what do you want to bet AIG doesn't get federal help either:
Trouble at several other companies could hurt fund raising for Sen. Obama and other Democrats. Employees of insurance giant American International Group Inc., for example, have given 66% of their $647,000 in total political donations to Democrats in the current election cycle, after favoring Republicans from the mid-1990s through early 2000s.

AIG -- too big to fail, I guess.
