This is a bona fide bombshell. Obama loves to say that 90% (or whatever the phony made-up figure is) of his donors contributed less than $200? Sounds good, right? Real, honest to goodness grass-roots support there. The little people, the poor people, really want this guy to be their president. Well it turns out that 35 or 40 of those "people" turn out to be one person contributing nearly $9,000 to Obama; a clear violation of campaign finance laws restricting donations to a maximum of $4600 per election cycle. And the kicker? The guy is named Good Will. Mr. Will is from Texas.
And we are just getting warmed up.
From Newsmax.
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.
Following this and subsequent FEC requests, campaign records show that 330 contributions from Mr. Good Will were credited back to a credit card. But the most recent report, filed on Sept. 20, showed a net cumulative balance of $8,950 — still well over the $4,600 limit.
There can be no doubt that the Obama campaign noticed these contributions, since Obama’s Sept. 20 report specified that Good Will’s cumulative contributions since the beginning of the campaign were $9,375.

I’m sure the media will be all over this story shortly. It’ll be right after they find out Sarah Palin spanked her daughter once...what a horrible mother she must be!!! /s
I have a feeling this isn’t coming up next on tonight’s episode of “Hardball.”
He’ll skate on this too. Just give the money back and all is forgiven. No harm, no foul.
Thanks!
Oh.
ACORN tactics....move along, nothing to see here.It will be ignored by the MSM propaganda arm.
In other news....
Wow. This could be big because if true, it extends back into the primaries. Wonder if Hillary knows about this!
I’ve often wondered how much of his supposed small donor $25 and $50 donations are actually Soros laundered money.
Probably a stolen credit card. ;~))
Campaign finance scandals get settled years after the fact and are usually resoved by paying a fine. There’s just no way that the disinterested Media will bring this to a head before the election. If they can ignore Bill Ayres they can ignore this.
Obama has collected millions of dollars.
The fact that ONE person scammed the system to give a measley 9 THOUSAND dollars is not going to get anyone excited.
Calling this a MAJOR SCANDAL just makes people think “if this is all they can find on him, he must be pretty clean.”
It’s like the Palin attacks. They were all so petty that they backfired and made people think she was OK if that was all they could really find.
We need to get a clue folks. Obama could be caught on tape doing exactly what is alleged here and the Drive By Media will ignore. The Drive Bys are going to ignore everything and anything a conservative news source brings out that is damaging to The One. Have we've learned nothing over the years??? The Sheeple still get the majority of their news from the Drive Bys and all of this stuff that is posted on forms and blogs like this one and labeled “Bombshell” or “Damaging” is NEVER going to get to them. And it if does it will be qualified as coming from an “Obama critic” or a conservative news organization.
Our side is going to have to find new ways to take the fight to the Rats and the Drive Bys. McCain and Co had a chance last week in the debate to slam Obama and get him out of his slick game and he didn't do it. Until we learn to go nuclear in every battle with the Rats and the Drive Bys, we are so doomed to defeat and disappointment.
It's just a fact, folks!
This is the tip of the iceberg. I guarantee they can tie it back to Obama people and bundlers
A commercial accusing the bama campaign of finance fraud on major networks might be effective.
or oil countries that hate us....using citizens names? those donors names should have to be turned over to an agency for investigation.
Hillary?
She had every Chinese dishwasher in Manhattan on her donor list! And don't forget Norman Hsu.
This is just the norm for Democrats. It won't rise to the level of scandal.
As “bombshells” go, this one is a dud.
