Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

A Guyana-born American citizen with virtually no political background is asking the Federal Election Commission whether he can run for president of the United States.

New York lawyer Abdul Hassan was born in the northern South American country in 1974.

Now, the FEC stated he could run as a candidate, and raise funds. The FEC stated he could not get public money, as he was not born in the US

4 years ago, 0bama made the unexpected declaration that he would raise his own money and not take public money.
Will 0bama take public money this cycle?
Does 0bama understand he does not have the paperwork to claim public funds.

Your comment makes no sense. He raised $778m in the 2008 election. That's way more than stinkin' public funding would have provided. A Chicago pol would never opt for the lower number when it comes to campaign cash.

I was wondering why he declined the public funds.

My guess is if he tries to run again, he'll do the same thing.
