This is a bona fide bombshell. Obama loves to say that 90% (or whatever the phony made-up figure is) of his donors contributed less than $200? Sounds good, right? Real, honest to goodness grass-roots support there. The little people, the poor people, really want this guy to be their president. Well it turns out that 35 or 40 of those "people" turn out to be one person contributing nearly $9,000 to Obama; a clear violation of campaign finance laws restricting donations to a maximum of $4600 per election cycle. And the kicker? The guy is named Good Will. Mr. Will is from Texas.
And we are just getting warmed up.
From Newsmax.
In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as “Will, Good” from Austin, Texas.Mr. Good Will listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.”
A Newsmax analysis of the 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest master file for the Obama campaign discovered 1,000 separate entries for Mr. Good Will, most of them for $25.
In total, Mr. Good Will gave $17,375.
Following this and subsequent FEC requests, campaign records show that 330 contributions from Mr. Good Will were credited back to a credit card. But the most recent report, filed on Sept. 20, showed a net cumulative balance of $8,950 — still well over the $4,600 limit.
There can be no doubt that the Obama campaign noticed these contributions, since Obama’s Sept. 20 report specified that Good Will’s cumulative contributions since the beginning of the campaign were $9,375.

I’m sure the media will be all over this story shortly. It’ll be right after they find out Sarah Palin spanked her daughter once...what a horrible mother she must be!!! /s
I have a feeling this isn’t coming up next on tonight’s episode of “Hardball.”
He’ll skate on this too. Just give the money back and all is forgiven. No harm, no foul.
Thanks!
Oh.
ACORN tactics....move along, nothing to see here.It will be ignored by the MSM propaganda arm.
In other news....
Wow. This could be big because if true, it extends back into the primaries. Wonder if Hillary knows about this!
I’ve often wondered how much of his supposed small donor $25 and $50 donations are actually Soros laundered money.
Probably a stolen credit card. ;~))
Campaign finance scandals get settled years after the fact and are usually resoved by paying a fine. There’s just no way that the disinterested Media will bring this to a head before the election. If they can ignore Bill Ayres they can ignore this.
Obama has collected millions of dollars.
The fact that ONE person scammed the system to give a measley 9 THOUSAND dollars is not going to get anyone excited.
Calling this a MAJOR SCANDAL just makes people think “if this is all they can find on him, he must be pretty clean.”
It’s like the Palin attacks. They were all so petty that they backfired and made people think she was OK if that was all they could really find.
We need to get a clue folks. Obama could be caught on tape doing exactly what is alleged here and the Drive By Media will ignore. The Drive Bys are going to ignore everything and anything a conservative news source brings out that is damaging to The One. Have we've learned nothing over the years??? The Sheeple still get the majority of their news from the Drive Bys and all of this stuff that is posted on forms and blogs like this one and labeled “Bombshell” or “Damaging” is NEVER going to get to them. And it if does it will be qualified as coming from an “Obama critic” or a conservative news organization.
Our side is going to have to find new ways to take the fight to the Rats and the Drive Bys. McCain and Co had a chance last week in the debate to slam Obama and get him out of his slick game and he didn't do it. Until we learn to go nuclear in every battle with the Rats and the Drive Bys, we are so doomed to defeat and disappointment.
It's just a fact, folks!
This is the tip of the iceberg. I guarantee they can tie it back to Obama people and bundlers
A commercial accusing the bama campaign of finance fraud on major networks might be effective.
or oil countries that hate us....using citizens names? those donors names should have to be turned over to an agency for investigation.
Hillary?
She had every Chinese dishwasher in Manhattan on her donor list! And don't forget Norman Hsu.
This is just the norm for Democrats. It won't rise to the level of scandal.
As “bombshells” go, this one is a dud.
The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $33.8 million. More than 520 listed their “state” as “IR,” often an abbreviation for Iran. Another 63 listed it as “UK,” the United Kingdom. More than 1,400 of the overseas entries clearly were U.S. diplomats or military personnel, who gave an APO address overseas. Their total contributions came to just $201,680. But others came from places as far afield as Abu Dhabi, Addis Ababa, Beijing, Fallujah, Florence, Italy, and a wide selection of towns and cities in France.
“This is the tip of the iceberg. I guarantee they can tie it back to Obama people and bundlers”
Woo Hoo!!!
We’re still talking PEANUTS dollar wise.
If you could show the Obama campaign was involved in helping someone contribute MILLIONS to his campaign, then you would have a story, but a few thousand bucks?
The Obama campain is a giant criminal enterprise.
Sometimes I think we get all hyped up like Geraldo Rivera looking for Jimmy Hoffa, only for the “really big thing” to die a quick and silent death.
Maybe I’m becoming cynical on day 35... .
The ‘scandal’ will be the fact that the MSM missed the story completely.
.
look.
Unless a group of Nuns catch Obama on video strangling a 8 month old baby and throwing it into a dumpster the Main Stream Media will not write anything bad about Obama. They HATE Bush and by extension McCain and all Republicans and anyone that supports Republicans. You just gotta deal with it
Mr. Good Will is probably Matt Damon!!! (Good Will Hunting)
Neck deep..... bonafide bomb shell..
I hadly think this would qualify as either. Looks like the campaign is returning money thus showing intent to clean up the mess.
It wouldn’t make a damned bit of difference to the dead democrats, but when you read the Newsmax article it becomes clear that Barack’ACORN’Obama is being funded in large part by Arabs and Islamicists using Gaza refugee names and camp addresses, Abudabi and even Iran addresses! The blatant criminality is what is so astonishing, but then the ACORN godman is not an honest man and never has been. As a narcissist he is wide open ...
Okay, by that logic, let’s just forget about finding anything on the guy and stay home in November.
Except on places like here the silence will be deafening.
Now if the guy’s name was Seymour Butts, it might not be a bombshell, but it would at least be funny.
The Explosion was deafening (to the media).
Sounds like the Obama campaign has enough illegally obtained money to bail out the failing banks.
this story will not see the light of day.
McCain will not use it because he is just that WIMPY.
do we flood his email with this?
do we flood Drudge with this?
we need to break the blockade.
If you want Good Will in 2009, you better donate to Obama in 2008.

Yep...poor naive Freepers. When are you guys going to stop expecting the MSM to do their job...and treat both equally.
McCain is BLOWING and chance he has to win this because he refuses to get his hands dirty. He still thinks the media will somehow report the truth...and he wants to be seen as the guy who will reach across the aisle.
Problem is: Across the aisle is an pit pull that is prepared to rip out your jugular.
The talk radio programs all over the USofA are on air every day. Calling in to raise these issues is one way to touch fellow Americans. Make a short script for yourself to follow so the host will not get you gnarled up, and hit the data points of your script. The call in numbers are easily found and patience is rewarded. I’ve been on Rush’s program twice in the past eleven years and onl;y call in on five or six occasions. Speed redial does help when you try to get through to one of the popular programs, but guys like Lars Larsen often have openings on the call board, especially at times when folks are rushing home from work. And they will hear it on the car radio!
That’s chicken feed... The report I read earlier had a lot more coming from overseas...
Give it back to who?
Money from GA (Georgia, old soviet union) might be Soros money, but from Iran, Abudabi, Dubai, and Gaza, etc. THAT is money from the Islamics lusting for an Barack’ACORN’Obama presidency.
This should be all over the news by tomorrow morning. Obama is goin’ down. /s I can dream.
“Our side is going to have to find new ways to take the fight to the Rats and the Drive Bys.”
I am hearing much anger from conservatives who are sick and tired of the media malpractice. Anger is welling up so great that I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if groups of folks find some of these media creeps, drag them out of their car and beat the crap out of them.
Not advocating this, mind you, just predicting that it just might happen.
This will go nowhere. The Nobamabots don’t care. I can’t imagine anything The Chosen One could do to keep his supporters from voting for him. We’re screwed.
The PLO supports Nobama. Communist Party of USA supports Nobama. Nobody cares. Nobody cared about Wright or Ayers. I just don’t get it.
They did care about Ayers and Wright...but Hannity got it out there a bit early...it almost cost him vs Hillary, but it came out too late then and too early now...the sheeple can’t possibly focus their attn on a topic for 6-7 months running.
