Before becoming a key fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, Hsu co-hosted a 2005 California fundraiser for Obama's political action committee...

The more things "Change", the more they remain the same.

Strange. I did a search of Google news to find out if the New York Times, AP or Washington Post had printed a story about this and couldn't find a thing. You would have thought they'd be all over this.

This will mean nothing. Less than nothing. Hussein will never be criticized in the LameStream Media. He is the One they worship.

Wasn’t Hsu on suicide watch after being found on a train?

Hsu’s lawyer is 100% brass, ain’t he? He argues that negative publicity about somebody else makes it impossible for Hsu to get a fair trial, and then the inauguration would take place during the 2nd week of the trial if it isn’t postponed...and several Obama appointees are connected to Hsu! Awww.
So we should wait ‘til some of the public furor dies down. Hey! What if another Madoff comes along in the meantime? What if things get worse instead of better? What if the public gets more stuff to be steamed about?
Maybe we should just let poor Norman go home!
Seriously, now, given some of the polls and surveys lately, showing how uninformed voters are, don’t you think it would be easy to find 12 people who never heard of Norman Hsu? Or Bernie Madoff? Sure it would.

I am sure they are all over it.

They are all over making sure that it is not published in the MSM.

Prosecutors allege that Hsu directed his investors to donate money to specific candidates, and then reimbursed them in violation of federal campaign laws.

In all likelihood this is a non-issue for Obama. The most that could possibly happen is that Obama’s campaign would have to return the money and pay a fine.

Very remote is that his campaign manager would go to jail.

The candidates themselves are insulated from responsibility when it comes to illegal donations. All they have to do is say “I was unaware that those donations were funneled through straw donors”.

Google engages in censorship to steer public perception (it works, BTW, with the herd). Find a different search engine.
