>>>OBAMA SAYS HE RETURNED MONEY BUT THE DONORS (IN GAZA!!!) didn’t get it.

When the stories of Norman Hsu were being followed here, some that were being questioned about donations from here were able to decline the donations by giving them to ‘charity’. Many were speculating that the monies would go to a charity that would launder them back into their campaign at some point.

Sloppy wording.

Clarifying:

about donations from here were = about donations from him (as in Hsu) were

I just discovered a link in PowerLine Forums that went to my spreadsheets on Google Docs. Wow.

I am wondering if the full data that is in the FEC donor file should be put out for people to see for themselves?

What is reported in the searches at FEC, OpenSecrets, Donor.org, etc. is only contributions over $200.

Obama is getting millions under this amount. I think this is why he is forgoing public money so that he can get money that he doesn't have to report to the public. You CAN get the raw data, and I already have it in spreadsheets.

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.

What do you think?
