Since last week, the news sphere has been buzzing about the possibility of an Obama campaign foreign donor scandal being the big October surprise of 2012. Since the Washington Examiner first reported the story last week, many are asking how the Obama campaign will handle foreign donation allegations expected to go public Monday in a major magazine and national website story. The Obama campaign has already tried to block the story from publication and although the details of the scandal are still under wraps, we do know taxes and unsecured credit card transactions are about to cause a major headache for the Obama campaign.
Just yesterday, we received news the Obama campaign raised a whopping $181 million in September alone, pulling the question of foreign donations even closer to the surface and putting Obama closer than ever to reaching a $1 billion fundraising number.
U.S. President Barack Obama's campaign and the Democratic Party have raised $181 million in September for his re-election effort - their highest monthly total yet of the 2012 presidential race.
The president's campaign said Saturday that the money represents donations from more than 1.8 million people.
Stay tuned.....the story could come as early as Sunday night, rather than Monday morning as originally planned.
bttt
Probably a lot donors with names of abdul,abdullah, muhammad, Al Kayda, Mose Lem Bro-hood.......
He’s a member of the Dictator’s club. Who knows how much wealth they’ve confiscated and can ‘spread around’.
And we’re supposed to be afraid of the companies that bring us the energy we need to function.
How bad will it be? It’ll be so bad that 99% of the nation’s voters will not have even heard of it on election day.
yes and a guy named George
yes and a guy named George
Only 2% reportable....
The Ministry of Propaganda will be out in force to MOP it up.
Just like in 2008.
Now you KNOW this commie SOB must be getting big bucks from the Russians and ChiComs, and the rest of the anti-America scum out there.
Nothing to see here. Just move along.

Hey, at least I’m doing something about the trade deficit. - Barak Obama
And that is the problem.
Libs will shrug it off with a so what and the rest won’t understand why this would undermine the elections.
Maybe most Americans are just that;too stupid!
If a tree falls in the forest, but the media doesn’t cover it, did the tree really fall?
Here`s hoping
Yep!
$181 million in September?!?!?
It isn’t just that they are foreign donations, it is that much of it originated from U. S. Citizens, who channeled their donations through foreign portals.
I look forward to reading the story, but not sure it matters much. I remember years ago when the Clinton campaign was receiving large sums of money from Chinese donors and nobody seemed to care. When Gore ran the same kind of donations surfaced and everybody yawned.
181000000 x 98% = 177380000 / 250 = 709520
so 709,520 people donated $250 each to Zero in September.
Really?
I mean REALLY?
.
If a Democrat scandal occurs in the middle of the New York Times’ lobby but no NYT reporter could remember how to write when it occurred, did it really happen?
oh bullsh8 it’s all stimulus money in obama’s “war chest”
