Readers don't buy 'explanation' of donations GAZA $33,000 ILLEGAL TO OBAMA

A Wall Street Journal report brushed off concerns about contributions of more than $30,000 to Sen. Barack Obama campaign from three brothers in Gaza, but the newspaper's readers weren't swallowing the explanation.

I saw that! On a personal note...today as I was putting my cat outside I thought, you know...gotta keep an eye on her, I’d hate for someone to do her harm.

re:really odd dollar and cents amounts.

My guess - foreign currency conversion to US dollars.

[longtermmemmory]

ahh this story should hit the press by December...

[Amityschild]

Not so. US donors. I also looked at possible store sales. The only things you can buy not ending in .00 are tee shirts for 20.08 and a couple of items ending in .05.

Ok...I'm a novice at this. Hope it's not too big!

I see that 35,000 contributions totaling over $3 million are in really odd dollar and cents amounts. The other oddity is that these kind of donations were made in larger and larger numbers (meaning in from numbers of donors) as time went on in the campaign.

The "odd dollar and cents amounts" could mean charges to stolen credit cards to make it appear these were legit purchases rather than even-numbered contributions that would stand out on one's c/c bill.

Wonder if it has something to do with the recent c/c hack of retailers.

The DOJ said the information hacked from retailers including TJX Cos, BJ's Wholesale Club, OfficeMax, Boston Market, Barnes & Noble, Sports Authority, Forever 21 and DSW was stored on two servers in Ukraine and Latvia - one with more than 25 million credit and debit card numbers and another with more than 16 million numbers.

He stinks to high heaven. We should be afraid.....verrrry afraid!

[Calpernia]

That is a similar to the stunt that was pulled with people’s credit scores. Small amounts (still in 10s of thousands, but small relative to the full amount) of monies were applied to people’s credit scores to secure the financial creative mortgages to flip homes.

Maybe this is how it is related to the voter fraud. How much data do these people have to float charges of monies on people.

[Amityschild]

You see what I'm looking at re: the dollars and cents. Donations in these amounts make no sense (no pun intended) at all.

What to make of it? They are, of course, reporting the donations in excess of $200 even if they are odd looking, but the amounts under are not reported at all (other than total data dump). Who contributes in these amounts?

"Sure honey, let's give $1,389.23 to Senator Obama."

Who contributes in these amounts? "Sure honey, let's give $1,389.23 to Senator Obama."

No question----Obama's financiers are finagling the numbers.

[Calpernia]

It does make sense as to what Liz is saying. Odd ball amounts floating on unsuspecting credit card charges wouldn’t necessarily raise a red flag.

[toddlintown]

Those numbers are from currency conversions.

THAT is a great graphic!

[pissant]

Thanks Cal. $33K is the tip of the iceberg for this idiot I’m sure. Russian and Chinese $$ will surely be joining the arab $$

Obama almost literally came from nowhere and has raised a fortune seemingly based on charisma and rhetoric.

There have to be strings attached:

The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan, and means “Land of the Aryans”.[4][5][6]
