Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting (mysterious campaign contributions)
Newsweek ^ | 10-4-08 | Michael Isikoff

Posted on 10/05/2008 5:17:23 PM PDT by STARWISE

The Obama campaign has shattered all fund-raising records, raking in $458 million so far, with about half the bounty coming from donors who contribute $200 or less. Aides say that's an illustration of a truly democratic campaign.

To critics, though, it can be an invitation for fraud and illegal foreign cash because donors giving individual sums of $200 or less don't have to be publicly reported.

Consider the cases of Obama donors "Doodad Pro" of Nunda, N.Y., who gave $17,130, and "Good Will" of Austin, Texas, who gave more than $11,000—both in excess of the $2,300-per-person federal limit.

Michael Issikoff of Newsweak is reporting this? Strange.

This summer, watchdog groups asked both campaigns to share more information about its small donors. The McCain campaign agreed; the Obama campaign did not. "They could've done themselves a service" by heeding the suggestions, said Massie Ritsch of the Center for Responsive Politics.

Why would they have "done themselves a favor" by returning millions of dollars of illegal campaign donations? Obama wants to win, and he doesn't care how.

Clearly illegal....thrilled it's seeing print in the old media.

O will need to dodge lots of slings and arrows this month. I'm confident he won't dodge 'em all.

"Frank" (Davis), his communist mentor is another good one. If America elects this guy, they deserve him and all the hell he'll bring.

I don't think even the DNC leadership knows the full extent of O's deceptions. Wait til they find out.

“Clearly illegal....thrilled it’s seeing print in the old media.”

Yea..his last scoop was the blue dress, if you don’t count the phony Gitmo toilet Koran flushing that got a nun killed in Africa.

This story was originally reported by someone else a few days ago. I’m sorry, but I don’t recall the name, though I believe there’s a thread on that article.

What is interesting is the fact that this is too hot to not ignore; plus the Republicans are bringing a lawsuit. Question is, is there enough time to get enough information out in the open before November 4?

Why not get the credit card # from the Obama campaign? They stated that all funds were returned to the credit card from which it came. Should be easy enough to clear up should they actually want to.

Obama response: “Yes, the system is broken, and I promise to fix it.”

He can blame it on lax enforcement by the Bush administration. The sheeple will agree and vote for Obama anyway. Kinda like Clinton who said we needed better laws to keep him from cheating. Of course, the MSM agreed completely.

I would ask Obama or any of his supporters: if Obama must lie about himself—to such an extent that he is presented as opposite his real self—in order to win, doesn’t it mean the real Obama is vastly inferior?

Chicago-D. C. crime syndicate all neatly now in one.

And soon perhaps to have control over even the federal investigating and national security agencies.
