In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as "Will, Good" from Austin, Texas. Mr. Good Will listed his employer as "Loving" and his profession as "You."

A Newsmax analysis of the 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest master file for the Obama campaign discovered 1,000 separate entries for Mr. Good Will, most of them for $25. In total, Mr. Good Will gave $17,375.

The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $33.8 million. More than 520 listed their "state" as "IR," often an abbreviation for Iran. Another 63 listed it as "UK," the United Kingdom.

In July and August, the head of the Nigeria's stock market held a series of pro-Obama fundraisers in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. The events attracted local Nigerian business owners. At one event, a table for eight at one fundraising dinner went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000. The sponsors said the fundraisers were held to help Nigerians attend the Democratic convention in Denver. But the Nigerian press expressed skepticism of that claim, and the Nigerian public anti-fraud commission is now investigating the matter.

he's obama! allowed to break all the rules!

Is this the "change" we can believe in?

I heard that Barack Obama is black, and has fathered at least two black children in wedlock.

How 'bout dem campaign contributions, Betelg? Right damn respectable, 'aint dey?

Obama.."Chumpchange" we can believe in!

I especially like Mr. Good Will or is it Will Good? I bet he is "Loving" his job working for "You". LOL

The Edwan brothers listed their address as "GA," as in Georgia, although they entered "Gaza" or "Rafah Refugee camp" as their city of residence on most of the online contribution forms.... The latest Obama campaign filing shows that $891.11 still has not been refunded to the Edwan brothers, despite repeated FEC warnings and campaign claims that all the money was refunded in December.

This is hilarious. You are literally charging (without proof) that the Nigerians are swinging the election to the first black candidate in the US.

I thought it was the terrorists who were backing him. (Or is that on another blog page from NRO?)

By hook or by crook

While right above me on the screen is

"Who's more trustworthy? Obama or McCain

;-)

I wonder why Nigerians with their "please help me by claiming the proceeds of this estate" would support Obama. Hmmmmm

'Cause he's black?

I'm not so sure they are his. They are a little darker than I would have expected his kids to be. Hhhmmm

Allow me to amend my last statement, in light of this,

You going to answer that?

You don't like my "hick" accent? Is it killing puppies yet? LOL

contributions totaling $33.8 million

By my calculations, that would feed 2,816,666 folks for a year just as well as Obama's half-brother is fed.

In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign.

"All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man," the Libyan leader said. "They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency..."

Though Gadhafi asserted that fundraising from Arab and African nations were "legitimate," the fact is that U.S. federal law bans any foreigner from donating to a U.S. election campaign.

The rise of the Internet and use of credit cards have made it easier for foreign nationals to donate to American campaigns, especially if they claim their donation is less than $200.

Wot es eenglish neewhays?? I herd abot dat onest annn awl. buut nehber lerned abot wot eet wozz.

Lairy

"You don't like my "hick" accent? Is it killing puppies yet? LOL"

Oh. That's a "hick" accent. Uh huh.

Time to say good night. All this digging for news that CNN won't report is hard work.

"""How 'bout dem campaign contributions, Betelg? Right damn respectable, 'aint dey?"

Sounds to me like a parody of a black accent by someone who is too cowardly to admit it.

AnAmerican-

re: "All this digging for news that CNN won't report is hard work."

LOL. Just ask Bani, BuffaloBob, or the nutcase of the week about that (oh, wait, that would be you).

Null,

Actually, AnAmerican's parody sounded an awful lot like Jed Clampett of The Beverly Hillbillies.

Y'all come back now. Ya hear?

Unlike the McCain campaign, which has made its complete donor database available online, the Obama campaign has not identified donors for nearly half the amount he has raised, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).

Federal law does not require the campaigns to identify donors who give less than $200 during the election cycle. However, it does require that campaigns calculate running totals for each donor and report them once they go beyond the $200 mark.

The fact that Obama is the candidate of choice for Nigerians, Gazans, Iranians, and Russians is just further evidence of why we need him to be president. We need to restore the respect and admiration of America, don't you see? And it's best to start with our enemies first.

In related news, many Georgians, Texans, and Mississippians donated to the 1864 campaign of George McClellan.

No wonder Savage has a fit when he talks about how Obama is collecting so much money and--guess we can see why.

AA--you wouldn't expect the product of the Daley machine to play by the rules would you?

Contributions, voting registrations, ACORN in particular.

All have been very busy stacking the deck as best they can.

So while some folks are worried that the Palins pay taxes on something that is not required, we have Obama and his campaign possibly taking overseas illegal contributions and won't divulge the list for the feds to check it out.

I see UN-American is getting his "talking points" from newsmax...how pathetic-how desperate...

How often DOES your mommy water you, sitting over there in that corner in a flower pot?

In other news-Saudis, Georgians, Chinese, North Vietnamese, Phillipino, and other Corporate havens are providing McLame with how much money?

My guess is--not much. But feel free to provide a link or two. And I had no idea that Georgia, North Vietnam, and Saudi Area are "corporate havens".

I learn something every day.

Proof that Obama is a Marxist?

Has his website been calling for an armed uprising of the proletariat, followed by the nationalization of all industry?

ANd if it did, who would help him or follow him?

This is America. We only nationalize the losses on Wall Street.

I don't know any black folks who speak that way, null. Who in the heck do you hang out with? Or do you interact with any blacks? What makes you think that that's a parody of the way black folks talk?

You seem to view events through a racial prism with race your mediator of all things in the world. Race is not the central feature of the lives of most of us, null. I can't remember noting the last time I even saw a black person in the course of my everyday activities.

LOL, creep.

It went out of style with Stepin Fechit.

"I don't know any black folks who speak that way, null."

That's because you don't know any black folks.

"Race is not the central feature of the lives of most of us, null."

That's a laff coming from the Drudge's most pathological racist loser. Anyone who reads yer posts knows yer obsessed with it.

Pub lies and didtortions will start to mount in the last 30 days to discredit Senator Obama. John McCain finds himself so far behind what else can he do.
