arack Obama raised a record-shattering $750 million on his way to winning the 2008 presidential election. But that stunning flood of cash has triggered an investigation by the Federal Election Commission, which is taking a detailed look at the campaign's records and transactions.

According to Roll Call, the audit of Obama's financial records began Barack Obama, Federal Election Commission, Investigation, 2008 Presidential Electiontwo years ago. It was not required by law, since the Obama campaign did not accept federal matching funds and funded itself entirely with private donations. But allegations of improper contributions, coupled with the FEC's suspicions of certain transactions, led to the probe.

Does anyone think for a New York Minute that DOJ Holder will prosecute any wrong doing? I didn’t think so.

What would likely happen is that some small fry would be sacrificed for the cause, quietly pardoned, and then given a cushy job somewhere within the Democratic machine.

Right! If an audit is actually happening it is a waste of time as nothing will be done now or even if he is defeated in the next election. He is going to be a saint regardless of what he has or hasn’t done. Because if he isn’t we are all racists.

Ohaha is between a rock and a hard place. Ohaha's seen the poll numbers showing Republicans rising in approval, and his own liberal base disgusted he let Republicans take the lead on the budget.

This is the part I like best: riding the first wave of adoration, Ohaha stashed zillions looted from the Treasury for himself (and endangered Dems)-----figuring he'd be reelected by acclamation (that would explain all those campaign donations).

Now, as support flounders, the con artists in the WH have to dream up a way to explain away "the nation's first billion dollar candidate" (as Ohaha bills himself). LOL. Ohaha's gangster government is sipping a lot of tea trying to figure out what to do.

=============================================

THE FLOPS SO FAR Obama's so-called "2012 fundraising network" and his billion dollar campaign warchest are phonies. He claims to be the first billion dollar candidate---but take it from me----it won't be from "campaign donations" and "fund-raisers." After two years in office, Obama's got zillions stashed offshore (looted from the US Treasury during the infamous trillion dollar "bailouts"). Ohaha's gonna be wire-transferring like crazy to save himself and endangered Dems--after the debacle of Midterms.

ITEM Obama held an "intentionally small" DNC fund-raiser dinner at the Red Rooster in Harlem last week-----maaning they couldn't even giveaway tickets to the $30,000 per head funder.

ITEM Obama's recent Boston fundraiser started out as a $5,000 a plate then dropped to $500 a plate ... but he still could not fill the room——Ohaha ended up talking to a little over 100 people.

ITEM Remember, Ohaha raised a whopping $750 million for his 2008 presidential bid----- purportedly from "anonymous foreign donors" who flooded his 2008 campaign with hundreds of thousands of relatively small, untraceable illegal donations.

====================================

Can you wait to see the cover story Ohahas come up with for all those "campaign donations?"

Reminds me of the excellent book---"Flawless"----about the $$$half billion Antwerp diamond heist. The crooks couldn't spend it, of course, without calling attention to themselves. So they had to invent a highly visible money-maker to account for their spending.......they pretended a multi-million dollar movie deal about their heist was in the works.

Yup--a movie about Ohaha and Moochelle might do it..... "For A Few Dollars More"--- The Sequel."

ROTFL

Wouldn't be surprised if lobbying the Pope for Beatification or HRM Queen Elizabeth for Knighthood doesn't take place.

This is great news if it gets legs. They took so much money from forign sources like the Mawan brothers in GA. No that is not Goriga but it was GAZA. Nobody seemed to care before.

We need to investigate all the criminal acts that the Obama campaign did in 2008 and shut him down in 2012. All of his crooked croanies need to go to jail as does Obummer.

It’s wrong of you to hold a black man to the same standards as a white man. They simply aren’t capable of following the same set of rules, passing the same tests, etc. You must give them a different set of laws and standards to equalize the playing field.

After two years in office, Obama's got zillions stashed offshore (looted from the US Treasury during the infamous trillion dollar "bailouts").

Stashed in the form of gold bullion. In a bank. In Libya. Ghaddafi's BANK.

Federal Reserve lent money to Gaddafi's bank during economic crisis

Arab Banking Corp., the lender part- owned by the Central Bank of Libya, used a New York branch to get 73 loans from the U.S. Federal Reserve in the 18 months after Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. collapsed.

The bank, then 29 percent-owned by the Libyan state, had aggregate borrowings in that period of $35 billion -- while the largest single loan amount outstanding was $1.2 billion in July 2009, according to Fed data released yesterday. In October 2008, when lending to financial institutions by the central bank’s so- called discount window peaked at $111 billion, Arab Banking took repeated loans totaling more than $2 billion.

---------------

Now you know why Obama dropped over 200 Cruise Missiles on Ghaddafi's troops. And why the FIRST thing the rebels did is establish a new BANK (to hold all the gold that the US, Italy, France, etc. had 'stashed'). Whomever gets control of the GOVERNMENT, gets control of the GOLD.

No doubt this will be the biggest news of 2011 ignored by the LameStream Media. I just wonder how they keep track of all the stories they won’t report on and coordinate their treasonous acts.
