Are Foreign Donations Powering the Obama Campaign?

Obama was forced to return $33,500 to a pair of Palestinian brothers who bought T-Shirts on the campaign's website

HOWEVER, I have done some digging and have found that IN FACT the campaign did not return ANY of this money. They have reported credit card chargebacks (oh really?) and have PURGED the transactions that were donations from the Edwan brothers (Monir, Hosam & Osama) of Rafah, Gaza Strip from their database. I did keep a backup of the original transactions, but if you query the FEC site now, Monir results in 0, Hosam results in $891 (hey guys...still illegal) and Osama is just gone.

"The anonymous investigator (who won't reveal his name for fear of retribution)"

Funny, we expect 19 year-olds to walk point in Fallujah, but we let an investigator jeopardize the integrity of the election process the 19 year-old is fighting to defend over fear of losing his government job?

Makes sense. He campaigned overseas.

[Are Foreign Donations Powering the Obama Campaign? ]

YES! I don't save links like many of you do but I read an article here or on Drudge about foreign countries sending cash over the telephone using credit cards!

All illegal and large amounts being transfered. I'm sure others here know more about that.

We are watching America be stolen. Bush will not tell the AG to direct the Justice Dept to do anything about it.

[Billthedrill]

This would, their reasoning goes, take on the appearance of a "criminal investigation" and would impact the coming election.

Well, yes, I suppose a credible accusation of criminal conspiracy might "impact" the election. As it ought to.

The fix is in, folks.

All of our enemies — foreign and domestic — are supporting Obama.

In a word, "DUUUHHHH!!!"

[Kay Ludlow]

I was wondering how Obama could afford to buy a TV channel on DISH...

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Now if anybody will actually DO anything about it!!!

There is little doubt that foreigners are licking their chops at the prospect of an inexperienced, naive, weak American president who will subsume American interests and cater to the whims of the UN...

Are Foreign Donations Powering the Obama Campaign?

Yes. Powers ignore it I know not why.

it would be ridiculous for Mideast Husseins and Al Qaeda Husseins not to give money to a Hussein for American President.

Especially Barack who said Muslim call to prayer was the most beautiful thing he's ever neard.

No, really. It's nothing.
