The Federal Election Commission is unlikely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaigns record-shattering windfall, despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting that had the McCain campaign crying foul.
Adding insult to injury for Republicans: The FEC is obligated to complete a rigorous audit of McCains campaign coffers, which will take months, if not years, and cost McCain millions of dollars to defend.
Obama is expected to escape that level of scrutiny mostly because he declined an $84 million public grant for his campaign that automatically triggers an audit and because the sheer volume of cash he raised and spent minimizes the significance of his errors. Another factor: The FEC, which would have to vote to launch an audit, is prone to deadlocking on issues that inordinately impact one party or the other like approving a messy and high-profile probe of a sitting president.

I am speechless.
I tell ya ... nothing is going to surprise me anymore. It’s been ONE WEEK since Election Day and I’m so sick of Obama already.
Let me guess, because he’s B-L-A-C-K, and to question him would be R-A-C-I-S-T.

Unfair, is he not investigated for anything!
Public financing is dead.
If the tables were turned and McCain had been victorious with hundreds of millions in shady campaign money, the Democrats in congress, even if they were in the minority, would be screaming about “no one is above the law” and “culture of corruption.” And the media would be picking up every screaming voice and amplifying it from every orifice.
But because their favorite candidate won, it’s like “hey, that’s cool.”
Obama is gonna love you. When he makes you penniless you won’t have anything to say.
And yet, Palin’s campaign clothing budget was Breaking News ad infinitum.
Audit? I don't think so!
How’s that McCain-Feingold thing working out, John?
And FEC analysts over the course of the campaign have written more than a dozen letters to Obama singling out hundreds of contributors for whom the campaign either didnt supply adequate information or from whom he accepted donations exceeding the $4,600 limit. -Snip
Obama Admin will never EVER be investigated. IT will run the typical democrat shenanigans and the media will turn a blind eye or treat any scandal with kid gloves before letting it die on the vine.
as I have constantly typed, THE FIX IS IN.
ping for later
why are you speechless???
this is the EXACT type of thing that the GOP has let the rats get away with time after time after time....
they should be screaming from the top of Capital Hill about this 24/7- demanding an investigation...but they won’t...
just like they should have been screaming 24/7 to demand an investigation into jim johnson/harold raines/fannie mae...but they didn’t...
then they wonder why they get their clocks cleaned in elections...give me a break....
McCain should never have taken the federal funds once Obama opted out. He and Sarah (mostly Sarah) were raising huge amounts in the last couple months.
Truer words were never spoken.
Not surprised.
Libs are above the law - expect it to only get worse. :D
