Obama releases names of top fundraisers (list of 244 'bundlers' voluntarily disclosed)

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's campaign team has signed up an early wave of elite fundraisers who have collected at least $34.95 million combined since April, helping bankroll the president's re-election bid.

The Obama campaign on Friday voluntarily disclosed its list of 244 individuals and couples who serve as "bundlers," often wealthy, well-connected donors who raise campaign cash from friends and business associates.

The campaign has emphasized its more than 550,000 donors and note that Obama does not take money from political action committees or Washington lobbyists. But the list underscores the role of high-dollar bundlers who helped Obama raise a combined $86 million through the campaign and the Democratic National Committee from April through June.

Obama's top fundraisers include leading lawyers, business executives and film industry leaders, including former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour and Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg. The three have already raised at least $500,000 apiece for the campaign. About two dozen others have each raised that much.

My best hope is that Obama is just a crook.

I’m guessing he didn’t include his taxpayer funded supporters like the EPA, HUD, DOE etc.

I don’t think money will be an issue for either side in 2012.
I suspect there will be so much advertising the average person will be totally sick of it and happy for election day to come.

There won’t be many “undecideds” this time.

The real money is being laundered through Soros’ prepaid debit cards.

Released it “voluntarily”?!!! Ha, the bummer does not do ANYTHING he doesn’t want to do VOLUNTARILY. My guess is that he didn’t get a whole lot of the old gang guard digging into their pockets, and he goes public to browbeat them to it!

Obama Turns Blind Eye to Credit Card Donation Fraud
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_illegal_donations/2008/10/21/142761.html
What do Bart Simpson, Family Guy, Daffy Duck, King Kong, O.J. Simpson and Raela Odinga have in common?
All are celebrities; and with the exception of Odinga and O.J. Simpson, they also are fictional characters. And yet, all of them gave money earlier this month to the campaign of Barack Obama, without any apparent effort by the campaign to screen them out as suspect donors.
The Obama fundraising machine may owe its sensational success in part to a relaxation of standard online merchant security practices, which has allowed illegal donations from foreign donors and from unknown individuals using anonymous “gift” cards, industry analysts and a confidential informant tell Newsmax.
**“OBAMA’S FOREIGN DONORS: THE MEDIA AVERTS ITS EYES”**

(He accepts credit cards including Macy’s.)
**Fictitious Donors Found in Obama Finance Records**
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/us/politics/10donate.html?ref=politics
Last December, someone using the name “Test Person,” from “Some Place, UT,” made a series of contributions, the largest being $764, to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign totaling $2,410.07.
Someone identifying himself as “Jockim Alberton,” from 1581 Leroy Avenue in Wilmington, Del., began giving to Mr. Obama last November, contributing $10 and $25 at a time for a total of $445 through the end of February.
The only problem? There is no Leroy Avenue in Wilmington. And Jockim Alberton, who listed his employer and occupation as “Fdsa Fdsa,” does not show up in a search of public records.

You think like a politician! How do you do it? I would NEVER have come up with this scenario but it sounds true.

Seriously, how does one learn to think this way?

headline correction:

“Obama releases names of top traitors, morons, and suckups”

These people are doing grave damage to America. they need to apologize to all of us for their sins and crimes of supporting a dreadful and dangerous man in the White House.

Imagine Soros sitting at his desk at home reconciling all those little credit card charges. (Might make a good cartoon)

Actually this is wealth redistribution that one can believe in....fools donating to zero...who hopefully spends it lavishly on media and anything else the fool finds to his fancy. However....I don’t think there is enough money in the world to re-elect this jackass legally.....now some of that money may go to underhand antics but there again I don’t think it will be enough to buy this turd-in-the-punch-bowl another term.. Thanks to the internet...America has awakened...to wit...I was at the VA the other day and a couple probably in their late 70’- early 80’s was sitting beside me and commented that their kids had gotten them a computer for Christmas....and it had sure opened their eyes as to what was going on around them....i.e. the news..unfiltered by the alphabets.... That has happened all over America...and yes I believe Elmer Fudd could beat zero!

I'm more concerned by the hundreds of millions Soros laundered through prepaid debit cards last time.

Not to mention the fraudulent donations Citi refunded to the card owners but allowed the campaign to keep.

I believe we’re talking about the same illegal donations that IMO are probably already in high gear again.

Obama releases names of top fundraisers ........ but the real money is being laundered through Soros’ prepaid debit cards.

Sound familiar Bernie? Soros' Quantum fund has a track record of 30% profit, year after year, every year..... Only money laundering, selling drugs, weapons, and insider trading can provide such a score card.

And don't forget, Soros has complete access to trillions of US tax dollars, thanks to Obama. Soros has thousands of "non-profit groups" scattered across the globe---where tax dollars can easily find refuge with no one the wiser.

Soros probably taught Madoff the way to go-----the court-appointed trustee tracing Madoff's assets found a super-secret labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places overseas that hid thievery, money laundering and tax evasion.

Another cute truck (/snix)---- an arch criminal like Soros who is tipped off where the Fed will go with interest rates---can make billions.

Of course, Ohaha gets a cut of everything.

============================================

REFERENCE Obama "The Fund-Raiser" is a guy who really plans ahead.

Obama stashed away zillions for his campaign (looted from the US Treasury). All he needs is "contributor names and CV" to cover the FEC requirements.

Remember that when Ohaha got in, his first moves were:

(1) taking over the census and placing it under the jurisdiction of the WH (has all the names and CV he needs for the FEC),

(2) taking control of the US Treasury, and,

(3) COS Rahm's brother taking charge of Medicare/Aid billions and O/Care billions.

Now we know why.
