Obama Campaign Borrows $15M from Bank of America

Obama For America took out a $15 million loan from Bank of America last month, according to the campaign’s October monthly FEC report. The loan was incurred on September 4 and is due November 14, eight days after the election. OFA received an interest rate of 2.5% plus the current Libor rate.

Warren Buffett, Obama donor and namesake of the infamous “Buffett Rule,” invested $5 billion in Bank of America last year in an effort to help the ailing financial institution. Last month, two weeks after OFA took out the loan, Bank of America announced a plan that would lay off 16,000 workers by the end of the year.

Obama has a complicated relationship with Bank of America. The bank contributed $20 million toward the cost of the Democrat National Convention earlier this year. Bank of America stadium, home to the Carolina Panthers, was supposed to host Obama’s acceptance speech. At the last moment, the campaign switched to a significantly smaller venue. The campaign claimed that an impending storm would not allow the President to deliver his address. Many questioned whether move was made because the campaign was having trouble filling such a large stadium.

It is unclear why the first $1 billion campaign needed an extra $15 million for the final two months of the campaign.

DNC Owes Union Bank $15M

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) now owes $15 million to the union-owned Amalgamated Bank of New York, campaign finance records show.

The DNC received a $7 million loan from the bank in September, in addition to the $8 million loan it took out the previous month, neither of which has been paid back.

Just like our money, the punk POTUS thinks he has a blank check with DNC funds.

“Why exactly does anyone bank with Bank of America?? This should be a wakeup call for all true Americans to close All accounts at BofA. it only takes less than 10% of depositors to close their accounts to send ANY BANK into receivership.”

My wife and I are continually amazed at why anyone with a brain would have accounts with B of A.

Decades ago, they were like dealing with crazed pit bulls with all of their customers. That anti customer behavior has gotten worse.

Yet, we know people and some younger relatives who have constant hassles with B of A. When, we ask why they stay with B of A, they have the deer in the headlights dazed look. If any of these people try to complain about B of A’s predatory dealings with them, we tell them we are not wasting our time listening to them.

First rule of business is never let a campaign get anything on credit. I knew a guy who owned a high-end hotel. While he did let candidates stay there, since it was the best place in town and having presidential candidates stay there reinforced that impression, he always assumed if they didn’t pay cash in advance, the rooms were an in-kind contribution because they NEVER paid their bills.

So, the DNC is borrowing from the Amalgamated bank of NY, and the Obama campaign is borrowing from BOA?!? What happened to the $1 billion juggernaut - it must be all smoke and mirrors, like the statistics that his administration has been feeding us for 4 years. This guy is an empty suit and we can’t get rid of his sorry A$$ soon enough!

That’s really offensive if they are doing that.

When I moved 7 ++ years ago, I had to bring more information to the bank than ever before in over 50 years of having a bank account.

I needed:
Driver’s license —new state or old- didn’t matter
Social Security card- NOT a COPY
Certified embossed birth certificate from the country where I was born—NOT a COPY
3 other pieces of ID, proving who I was. I used 2 credit cards & my membership card as a owner/breeder in the Arabian Horse Registry.

ONLY then could I open a new bank account.

I had to go thru the same drill to get a new Nevada state driver’s license.

I was told it was because of the terms of the Patriot Act.

I was born & raised in the USA. WHY do I have to show all these documents & illegals get a free ride???

I won’t do business with the B of A, since about 1976. I have even turned down prospective bookkeeping clients when I was told they bank with B of A. They are snakes.

Staying with a bank for decades is understandable...I have been with BofA since the early 1970’s; with the same local branch in our small town since 1988...but because of B of A’s constant association with liberal politics, the wife and I were recently discussing changing to Wells Fargo or ?

Nothing irritates me more than associating with a business that supports liberalism, a reccognized mental disorder.

It is unclear why the first $1 billion campaign (the amt touted by Team Ohaha to show how "popular" he is) needs to borrow an extra $15 million for the final two months of the campaign.

THE OHAHA PROPAGANDA IS RELENTLESS Now he needs a "loan"? Another report said the DNC was borrowing money to keep him afloat. Even after he announced he had the first $$$billion dollar campaign war chest, yet another report said: "Team O has to decide how to allocate what’s left of its campaign treasury down the stretch...."

Romney needs to be very very wary of these claims.

The sinister Ohaha Team is plotting a very crafty strategy----lying about their campaign outlays-----the same callous cadre that blatantly lied about four Americans killed in Benghazi.

===============================================

Ohaha's legislative tricks were intended to fuel his reelection: the so-called TARP stimulus hid zillions in several states---in NJ alone $17.6 Billion was sent and promptly disappeared when it landed there. Fact is, Obama and the Chi/mobsters running his campaign have zillions salted away.

==========================================

Do not underestimate the dirty cash the Ohahas/Chi-mob can come up with to fix the election......remember, these are the kingpins of Chicago politics. At one time, conscientious FEC investigators verified money was coming from legal citizens....but if Obama wins there will be no investigations. Remember, there are billions unaccounted for in Obama's stimulus packages....you can be sure the Ohaha kingpins have tons of money stashed away.

POINTS TO PONDER

<><> author Dean Koontz estimates there's about $90 billion missing from the US Treasury.

<><> Ohaha's ex-COS Chi/Mayor Rahm Emanuel is one Chi/mobster running the reelection campaign---this Wall Street turd knows where all the money is hidden. Rahm also controlled all US Treasury assets (at Obama's behest) when he was COS.

<><>The Ohahas took control of the census upon taking office----they have all the necessary CV to phony up contribution reports for the FEC.

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD Obama's ex-COS "Wall Street Rahm" "suddenly" discovered he wanted to be Chicago mayor---so the dancing little turd went before the mics and announced his mayoral campaign "raised $10 million in just a few weeks" .........(cue laugh machine).

Rahm also controlled the US Treasury as COS. This turd-o-crat knows where all the stolen Federal money is hidden....Wall Street knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in.

=======================================

ROMNEY NEEDS TO WATCH FOR PHONY FEC REPORTS The Ohaha's "say" they added $45 million to reelection coffers in February.....raised jointly by the DNC, "Obama for America" and two other joint fundraising committees — the "Obama Victory Fund" and the "Swing State Victory Fund,"...and whatever other voter frauds they dream up.

=========================================================

Obama's open mic slip in Russia revealed his hidden agenda. He didnt say "after the election, or “after the next election.” He said: “This is my last election" ....... reassuring the Ruskis that he'll then have "more flexibility after the election....”

Clearly Ohaha's certainty WRT staying in offce is not based on his approval ratings or massive opposition to his cockamamie polices----mandated healthcare, trillion dollar stimulus, using aborted babies' brains in lab experiments, giving himself massive executive power over Americans, co-opting religious beliefs, $4-Plus gas, 16% real unemployment, trillion dollardeficits, escalating inflation at the supermarket, the GSA spending scandal......to name a few.

No. Ohaha's certainty stems from his knowledge that he will stay in office---not by the will of the people---but by buying his reelection with federal money....using massive vote fraud.

Remember, voter fraud is the Chi/mobs' specialty---do NOT underestimate Rahm and Axelrod (both running O's reelection), and Valerie whatsherface in the WH.

Let us not forget----the minute they hit the WH, the Chi/mob went into action: the WH Chi/mob took over the census---and now have all the CV they need to file phony FEC reports using stolen federal dollars as campaign contributions.

=========================================

2012 Ohaha deviates are using the 2008 Anita (Mao) Dunn strategy to manipulate voters, to downplay Ohaha's destructive policies ....and his scary plans for the next term. Dunn said THEY and only THEY decided what the media should know about 2008 candidate Ohaha.

The strategy is already in place---watch the Ohahas copping that "don't worry--we're harmless" attitude.

At least once a day I get a email from the Obama campaign begging for $3-5. I guess the welfare recipients haven’t been that generous.
