He’ll skate on this too. Just give the money back and all is forgiven. No harm, no foul.

Wow. This could be big because if true, it extends back into the primaries. Wonder if Hillary knows about this!

I’ve often wondered how much of his supposed small donor $25 and $50 donations are actually Soros laundered money.

Following this and subsequent FEC requests, campaign records show that 330 contributions from Mr. Good Will were credited back to a credit card. But the most recent report, filed on Sept. 20, showed a net cumulative balance of $8,950 — still well over the $4,600 limit.

Probably a stolen credit card. ;~))

Obama has collected millions of dollars.

The fact that ONE person scammed the system to give a measley 9 THOUSAND dollars is not going to get anyone excited.

Calling this a MAJOR SCANDAL just makes people think “if this is all they can find on him, he must be pretty clean.”

It’s like the Palin attacks. They were all so petty that they backfired and made people think she was OK if that was all they could really find.

There is a way to get the MSM to pay attention to this... Their websites are increasingly blog-friendly. Post this information all over every election article.

Force them to acknowledge the problem by forcing them to defend it.

Bombshell? Where? Not with the Drive By Media.

We need to get a clue folks. Obama could be caught on tape doing exactly what is alleged here and the Drive By Media will ignore. The Drive Bys are going to ignore everything and anything a conservative news source brings out that is damaging to The One. Have we've learned nothing over the years??? The Sheeple still get the majority of their news from the Drive Bys and all of this stuff that is posted on forms and blogs like this one and labeled “Bombshell” or “Damaging” is NEVER going to get to them. And it if does it will be qualified as coming from an “Obama critic” or a conservative news organization.

Our side is going to have to find new ways to take the fight to the Rats and the Drive Bys. McCain and Co had a chance last week in the debate to slam Obama and get him out of his slick game and he didn't do it. Until we learn to go nuclear in every battle with the Rats and the Drive Bys, we are so doomed to defeat and disappointment.

It's just a fact, folks!

As “bombshells” go, this one is a dud.

Obama Campaign/Schumer Lie: Our Donations Are Coming from Average Citizens
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2082387/posts
Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2008 8:21:21 PM by jilliane

Less than 3.5% of all registered Democrats have donated to Obama and the majority have been MAJOR donors, not small ones as has been misstated repeatedly by the Obama campaign. The latest lie came today with the announcements that $66 million were raised in August and that the greatest part is that the donations "come in the $10s and $25s from the average citizen", quoting Sen. Schumer on Sunday, 9/14/08 on Meet the Press.

Even Tom Brokaw responded in doubt: "But a lot of them come from big friends of yours on Wall Street and New York, and people have big chunks of money..." Indeed, Mr. Brokaw. The numbers don't lie like Schumer does.

August's $66 mil brings Obama's total fundraising to $456,000,000 to date. The campaign gave us the important numbers of 500,000 new donors and 2,500,000 total donors, so we can do the math.

Let's say donors who gave $10s & $25s gave an average of $17.50. We know that they have donors over $25 but to give them the best case scenario, if ALL 2,500,000 donors were from "average citizens" who gave $17.50 then the campaign would have raised no more than $43,750,000. That's $412,250,000 less than actual contributions. That proves that the majority of donors have NOT given $10s and $25s as they've misstated.

When Brokaw corrected Schumer on the spin and correctly stated that Obama's donors are from "people with big chunks of money" - what did Schumer say? "But, but the percentage of average voters sending in money is, is remarkably high, higher than it's been in any campaign."

So much for the donations coming in the form of $10s and $25s; he switches to % of money coming from average donors. Let's look at the %. There were 72,000,000 registered democrats in 2004 and the Obama camp has bragged that democrat voter registration has increased. Using the lower 72 million Democrat number, they've raised money from 2,500,000 donors - that's an unimpressive 3.5% of Democrats who've donated - average or otherwise and if that's "remarkably high" well, consider that the 3.5% assumes all the donors are registered Democrats, which they aren't so the % is even lower from the party.

Sometimes I think we get all hyped up like Geraldo Rivera looking for Jimmy Hoffa, only for the “really big thing” to die a quick and silent death.

Maybe I’m becoming cynical on day 35... .

The ‘scandal’ will be the fact that the MSM missed the story completely.

look.
Unless a group of Nuns catch Obama on video strangling a 8 month old baby and throwing it into a dumpster the Main Stream Media will not write anything bad about Obama. They HATE Bush and by extension McCain and all Republicans and anyone that supports Republicans. You just gotta deal with it
