Fraud found in Obamas online donations
By Neil Munro - The Daily Caller 5 hrs ago
President Barack Obamas 2012 campaign has hundreds of thousands of eager, low-dollar donors and a tiny trickle of unwilling, defrauded donors.
The latest example comes from David Newman, who found a $15 charge, dated May 6, from the Obama For America campaign on one of his debit cards.
Newman had supported Obama in 2008, but I didnt sign up to say Do this every three months or every three years when you need money, he told The Daily Caller.
This is completely 100 percent unauthorized, said Newman, an information technology specialist. The money has since been returned by Bank of America, and the debit card has been cancelled, he said.
Newmans example follows the publication of two examples of small-scale fraud by Powerline, a conservative blog. For example, Bill G told Powerline that he had found a $10 charge to Obama for America a few weeks after someone had secretly changed his address in the banks database.
The Obama campaign declined to answer TheDCs questions for this story.

It's in the VERY fine print. Stand up and be proud! Forward!
bflr
It's a way for Citi to launder donations to him.
**OBAMAS FOREIGN DONORS: THE MEDIA AVERTS ITS EYES** http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/obamas_donor_contributions_sil.html (He accepts credit cards including Macys.) **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 Obamas 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.
Now he’s paying for his vote again.
Sucker!
Hiessenaphfzoal?
Money landering.
Were you thinking of "schadenfreude?" I may be wrong but I think that means taking pleasure in another's misfortune.
“What’s that nifty German word for he had it coming?”
“Hiessenaphfzoal?”
Or a Putz, fer sure.
Selberschuld - your own fault
With Wal-mart untraceable VISA cards, there is no way at all to police this crap....Some smart reporter should keep a shrp eye on this business.
But it will probably be left to Brietbart. (NBC is probably buying up Walmart VISA cards right now, just to help “the cause.”).

WOW, you could read it this way: “two examples of small-scale fraud by Powerline”
It almost is worded like they are tryiong to point the finger at powerline for supposedly commiting fraud...

Can Wal-mart / grocery store VISA cards be bought without
1. Supplying ID
2. With Cash
Just wondering.
Yes to both.
Take a close look at the reported contributions to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Look at the numerous donations that were dollars and cents. has anyone written a donation for dollars and cents? If you are anything like me it is for whole dollars no pennies, nickles, dimes, or quarters involved.
So what do those dollars and cents donations mean? They are from foreign donors, imaginary and real. Are all of them fraudulent? Possibly not but they are definitely the result of converting a foreign currency into American dollars. As such the likely hood of fraud goes what the heck up. And yet, he is the same person to screamed about the adverse impact of American businesses contributing to American political races.
