As stated elsewhere, this isn't really a big revelation, it goes on all the time in Washington and elsewhere, candidates and politicians ensuring that millions and millions of taxpayer dollars get funneled to people who have supported their campaigns. The big deal in this instance is that it's being blatantly done by Barack Obama, who has based his presidential campaign on the idea that he represents a break from the business-as-usual Washington insiders. This is not the way to make your case.

Both parties are guilty many times over, and for my money, any candidate who demonstrates that they're willing and able to put and end to this practice would have my support. The operative word being "demonstrates." Actions speak a lot louder than words, and in this case, Obama has failed to demonstrate anything except that his presidency would just be more of the same.
