Barack Bucks

Hey, Vis - are you Mr. Doodad Pro or Mr. Good Will? ;-)

I don't remember mentioning the native born bit, I must have done it in passing, or as a point of interest.

Shady things? The left is good at pointing out a couple of shadows here and there while ignoring their own dense forest. So why should I bother?

I have stated that I am not real enthused by McCain. But I think he's by far the better choice.

With the financial problems that are in our future, there are reasons to think it would be nice to have a Democrat President we could blame it on, along with the Democrat crew which is largely to blame for the present mortgage mess.

But, there is one reason I do not want Obama to win - his Supreme Court choices would be WAY, WAY too Liberal!

Now tell me how dumb I am. I'm getting used to it! :P

FUNNY MONEY!

Mr. Doodad Pro?

Mr. Good Will?

$33,000 worth of Obama T-shirts?

The Obama campaign has been charged with "looking the other way" while taking money from foreign nationals, and by ignoring Federal Election Commission (FEC) contribution limits.

For example two donors, who were highlighted an Oct. 4 Newsweek article, gave way in excess of the FEC limit.

"Doodad Pro" donated more than $17,130, and "Good Will" donated more than $11,000. The names were not previously reported because they have made multiple donations of under $200. FEC rules and regulations limit Individual contributions to 2,300.

According to Newsweek, these donations were made in increments of $10 and $25. That would indicate that "Doodad Pro" made nearly 7,000 small donations!

Apparently, both donors gave fictitious addresses. "Doodad Pro" named no occupation or employer, while "Good Will" listed his employer as (get this) "Loving" and his occupation as "You"

The Newsweek article also reported that two Palestinian brothers purchased $33,000 worth of Obama T-shirts. (a purchase that constituted a donation)

That has to be a lot of T-shirts! According to election law, candidates are prohibited from taking donations from foreign nationals

News accounts suggest that roughly 11,500 donors who gave a total of $34 million to the campaign may be citizens of foreign countries. According to both Washington Post and Reuters, Sen. Obama has raised millions of dollars in very questionable contributions.

Newsmax: “More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won’t disclose.

This summer, watchdog groups asked both campaigns to share more information about its small donors. The McCain campaign agreed, but the Obama campaign did not.
