Campaign spokesman Bill Blatherskite cited Obama’s two-to-one financial advantage over the McCain campaign as evidence of “our broader base of support.”
“The little people all over the world are scrimping so they can donate their last dollar to our cause,” boasted Blatherskite. “That there is such universal faith in Senator Obama shows that this election is truly epochal.”
Over half the $425 million raised by the campaign has come from donors whose names have not been disclosed. This stands in contrast to the complete donor base that the McCain camp has put online.
Blatherskite defended the secrecy as “essential.” “We have promised these poor and huddled masses that we will respect the confidentiality of their donations,” he said. “This protects them against retaliation by right-wing ideologues and racists.”
Of the names that have been disclosed, suspicion has arisen as to their validity. A case in point is one “Good Will,” a purported Texan whose occupation is listed as “Loving You,” who has given $9,000 to the Obama campaign.
The maximum legal donation is $4600. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) says it has declined to take action because it is currently under-strength. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) has blocked consideration of President Bush’s nominees for FEC vacancies.
“Since we are so close to the end of the Bush Administration, it would be inappropriate for us to allow these lame-duck appointments,” Reid declared. “The FEC can take up these allegations after President Obama fills the vacancies next year.”
Link to story?
Well, if it is true, this fellow has just admitted that 0bambi is breaking the law. Foreign Nationals are not permitted to contribute to a US political campaign.
Hhhhmmmm, I wonder when the AG will be filing criminal charges?
(crickets)
There is so much illegal foriegn cash flowing in to Obama that it is BREATHTAKING, and Our Major media REFUSES to cover it.
So many laws have been broken by Democrats this cycle that it has become clear that our constiution is now just a “God-Damned piece of paper!) to them.
America is truly screwed if Obama gets elected.
We’ll be longing for “The Good Old Days” of the Carter Years before this is over.
?Reid declared. “The FEC can take up these allegations after President Obama fills the vacancies next year.””
Is this a BS story? Even Dirty Harry isn’t dumb enough to make a statement like that!! (wait....I take that back)
You’re going to suck in a lot of gullible Freepers with this one.
