What about oversight? Transparency? Accountability? Are these applicable to the transition? They should be, especially in light of Obama’s promise to ACORN to include them in the transition process.

How much did he have left over from the campaign? Wouldn’t some of that money have be used for the transition? Or is this just our first example of how he can’t plan fiscally for the future or himself or his nation?

Ok. It won't happen because there isn't any need for it to happen. The apparatus is already running just fine, thank you. He is inheriting the Soviet Union, and he ain't going to risk being a Stalin, when he can effortless be a Brezhnev.

OMG... the end of democracy... Slush funds... millions of untraceable money given to help Obama start his army of Conservative destoryers...

This must be illegal somehow?????

Conservatives better get out front on this.

This can’t be legal. I would challenge the Constitutionality of it. If George Soros spreads his wealth through “10,000 or so $5,000 donors” he will effectively be buying the White House.

Perhaps this is another way he will launder funds from millionaires, etc.

That's exactly what it is! And it's a front for extortion.

Scarface is smiling.

I am still concerned that Obama is a Russian backed Communist.

No. Clinton was the Russian backed Communist. Obama quite likely has received big money from the Chinese Communists. But the bulk of his illegal money has come from radical Islam...most likely members of the Saudi royal family.

After Obama's inauguration, the enemy will control two of the federal government's three branches. And by 2012 it will have seized control of the third branch.

This is what FDR dreamed of. Now our national nightmare begins.

Okay, someone give me some insight here. I figure since Obama is asking for more money, the following story might amuse some and infuriate others.

Yesterday I discovered that a local obama campaign volunteer had left a large assortment of Obama related paperwork on the sidewalk in front of my business (the local obama headquarters has been situated 50 yards from me) , including thousands of dollars in donor cash and checks made out to the obama campaign.

Most of the checks were written in September, yet they never were cashed.

Should I be inferring anything here other than the scatterbrained incompetence of the campaign worker???

Is there some justification for not cashing or depositing donation checks immediately?

He already did.

To quote the movie "Speed": "Remember...'crazy', not 'stupid'."

Is this to be separate funds from a Presidential Inaugural Committee which would raise funds for his installation?

Obama still has over $100 million in his campaign fund. Can’t he use that??? Why is he holding out the cup again?

Well, he thinks he needs to buy a bag of extra “O” keys for all of the White House keyboards. ;)
