That can’t be legal, can it?

No problem. The funds are needed for the 2012 campaign! There are people out there who love sending Obama money, sort of like a TV preacher. The Obama people have thoughtfully set up a very efficient internet credit card operation*, with an offshore laundering operation for large donors. All of this is not very attractive or even ethical, but it is not exactly illegal either.

*You give $50,000 on your credit card to an overseas entity, and it shows up on the Obama Campaign books as $5 from Ms. Sally Glotz, $10 from Fred Mertz, $25 from Ricky Ricardo, etc ad the $50,000. This is the myth of the "small donor" funded Obama campaign. George Soros, and others, are "small donors." Of course, there are also real live small donors!

oh, that’s interesting. I knew there was something funky about the obama donations but didn’t know how the system works. “Unintended consequences” of McCain-Feingold? I guess in any case none of this is subject to investigation because - well - it’s the obama campaign.
