Obama receives illegal funds from 'terrorist hotbed'
OneNewsNow ^ | 8/6/08 | Jim Brown

According to Federal Election Commission filings, Barack Obama has received illegal donations from Palestinians living in Gaza, a hotbed of Hamas terrorists.

Obama received more than $24,000 in campaign contributions over a period of two months last fall from three Palestinian brothers from the "Edwan" family in Rafah, Gaza, which is a Hamas stronghold along the border with Egypt. The story was uncovered by Pamela Geller of the Atlas Shrugs blog. (see Federal Election Commission report)

..."The donations are basically through and through illegal -- that's number one. And number two is how the Obama campaign tried to conceal it," [Debbie] Schlussel chides. "They listed the campaign contributions as coming from Rafah, Georgia. They used the 'GA' from Gaza so it makes it look like it's legal; and then for the zip code it says '972,' which is actually the area code to dial over to Gaza," she contends.

If I remember correctly, the FEC currently is non-functional due to lack of sufficient members, caused by Senate refusal to ratify Bush’s appointees.
IN any case, even a theoretically functional FEC would not get around to acting on these allegations until long after the November elections; then might, in the event of an adverse judgement, levy a meaningless monetary fine.

The old media will ignore this.

This could be the last nail in Obama’s coffin if gets out.

The FEC has put Jame Gorelich in charge of the investigation in to the Gaza contributions.

After Obama’s Middle Eastern Outreach staffer RESIGNED this morning due to Terror Ties, I would not be surprised if much of O’s money is from those wanting to build mosques all over the USA!!!

More than 60% of Gaza residents live below poverty line

Average wage in Gaza Strip totals NIS 1,680 ($416) a month. Palestinian families spend some 47.2% on food. 63% of Gaza residents and 45% of West Bank residents live on less than NIS 10 ($2.48) a day. Poverty rate in Gaza higher than in Rwanda

Tani Goldstein Published: 10.17.07, 11:31 / Israel Money

The average wage in the Gaza Strip is NIS 1,690 ($419) a month for a full time position (NIS 76 per day) (roughly $8.85), compared to an average wage of NIS 7,920 (roughly $1,964) paid in Israel (NIS 360 (roughly $89) per day, including part time workers).

These findings are based on data collected in the Palestinian Authority by the New Family organization dedicated to advancing family rights and the rights of individuals within families. The average monthly wage among Palestinians in the West Bank is NIS 1,720 (roughly $426) a month.

Barry Hussein will engage in criminal activities, knowing that the MSM is thoroughly in the tank and will cover him in every way possible. This is where some of that arrogance comes from...knowing you can commit murder and get away with it!
