Audit of Obama Fundraising Unlikely

The Federal Election Commission is not likely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of Barack Obama’s record-breaking fundraising campaign despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting.

That’s the disclosure from Politico.com, which reports that Obama will probably escape scrutiny in large part because unlike John McCain, he declined to accept $84 million in public financing.

This is really wrong, we brought down blather, what can we do about this?

[Army Air Corps]

Barry probably pocketed a buttload of it.

How about all of us who made the ground swell over the immigration issue, do a little magic on the election commission...or do we just get fired up on things that Bush was involved in?

[Tzimisce]

He’s a powerful liberal Democrat.

Nothing will EVER stick to him.

This “profound leftist favoritism” along with “profound conservatism suppression” is also part of why I see conservatism fail to make any kind of serious political comeback here until, at least, sixty years later, but I seriously want to be proven wrong about all of this! Leftist in control of everything important are very dangerous, and they really will do all that they can do to always remain in power!

As Premier Obama’s assault on our customs, traditions, protocol, and laws goose-steps forward.

Just unbelievable.

The rest of us are expected to obey the law, pay our taxes, and do the right thing. But this ahole gets away with everything.

[freekitty]

As usual conservatives have to deliver while lefties steal away. No wonder we lost.

I emailed all four members of the FEC tonight.

Yet another reminder of what an idiot John McCain is.

Is anyone here shocked? Other than me?

Lawlessness abounds in our land. It’s getting mighty close folks... No nation can withstand such lawlessness, corruption and amoral behavior and survive as a secure, safe country.

[BAW]

This will become the new standard on how to collect cash for elections.

[pankot]

Can’t audit O because it was just too much money to count. s/

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

It’s getting mighty close folks.

Yes it is. It is closer than most people believe.

Can you please FReepmail me those addresses? I'd like to send them e-mails as well.

Instead of an audit how about just a computer check to see how many unique credit card numbers were used (vs number of unique donor names), how many of those numbers are associated with US bank accounts and how many are associated with foreign bank accounts. If that looks as ugly, as many of us suspect it will, then investigate the account holder with the foreign banks. Maybe nothing is there and maybe it is huge. Until someone looks it will be unknown. And, by the way, is it a federal crime to wipe out such records? I suspect there is someone right now preparing to go to jail to cover this up if that is the case. RNC needs to file suits right now to freeze these records so they aren't lost.

Well, glad to hear that Senator McCain is in the wrong and buttercup skates without a scrattch.

Good thinking. {PUKE}
