Americans who want to contribute to their presidential candidate of choice are strictly constrained in giving no more than $2300 per candidate election. But the same limits apparently don't apply in practice to foreigners who want to help Barack Hussein Obama get elected, although the Federal Election Commission clearly does not agree.
The brothers Edwan -- Monir and Hasam -- hail from Rafah, GA. That's GA as in Gaza, not Georgia. As first revealed by the Atlas Shrugs blog and further developed in World Net Daily, they contributed a whopping $29,521.54 to Senator Obama's campaign, more than 13 times the legal limit that applies to American citizens.
The Edwans' donations are listed in FEC filings and election filing websites.
The Edwans are a large clan that include top Hamas supporters, according to WND. The two brothers praised Obama and admitted giving the money online to his campaign. They said they are not U.S. citizens or green card holders but are citizens of "Palestine."
They said the money they gave to the campaign was to buy T-shirts, even though the Obama sells them for about $20/each and the going price for T-shirts in Gaza is less than a 10th of that price. In an interview with WND's Aaron Klein, the brothers reportedly changed their story repeatedly.

This story is starting to make the rounds in the blogosphere.... I wonder if the MSM will pick this story up....
I’m shocked, I tell ya, SHOCKED!!!
Is Obamamessiah selling t-shirts outside of the country? That be illegal because at 20 bucks a pop... it is foreign campaign contribution...
Heh. Any minute now. *crickets*
Just when you think it can't get any more clear who supports the Obamessiah...it does!
Will this story have legs?
Hmmm.... amputated legs, perhaps.
Unless Drudge picks the link up from BreitBart.com, as he often does, I’m afraid that this story will die. I also heard a few conservatie radio talk show hosts bring it up last night & this morning. That’s about it.
It only makes sense that the radical, anti-American socialist Dims would not want America to become oil-independent....just think about it.
Where do the Arabs get their money, which they use for all purposes AGAINST America? Money to use to kill Americans, and to fund America’s internal enemies. Yep, by selling oil to America. Sad that we are funding OUR OWN ENEMIES, internal and external, BUT THAT IS WHAT THE RADICAL SOCIALISTS WANT!!! And Obama and his criminal associates, like Pelosi, et al, are WORKING HARD to make sure America does not develop any more capability to supply its own oil, thus cutting off money flow to America’s Arab and Islamic enemies -—
Get the picture???
How many shirts did they sell in Berlin!
Oh THAT doesn't count. Germans are irrelevant these days you know... :)
So terrorists are getting money funneled into Obama campaign.
Who dod not realize that would happen?
If Sean Hannity or “The Factor” guy on FNC (Irish name) picks up on it, it may get attention. I’d love to see Alam Colmes explaining why it’s praiseworthy for the Obama campaign to be accepting illegal contributions from foreigners.
You know, of course, WE can alert him:
