Obama’s Secret Campaign Cash: Has $63 Million Flowed from Foreign Sources?
Newsmax ^ | 10/19/2008 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

As Barack Obama reaped a stunning $150 million in campaign donations in September, bringing his total to more than $600 million, new questions have arisen about the source of his amazing funding.

By Obama’s own admission, more than half of his contributions have come from small donors giving $200 or less. But unlike John McCain’s campaign, Obama won’t release the names of these donors.

A Newsmax canvass of disclosed Obama campaign donors shows worrisome anomalies, including outright violations of federal election laws.

For example, Obama has numerous donors who have contributed well over the $4,600 federal election limit.

IMHO, that number isn’t even close. It’s a lot greater than that.

No. NO. Republican could raise this sum of money without the entire MSM focusing on it...and railing the "evil of big money in politics" 24/7.....until the GOP nominee either gave money back, released all names and otherwise stepped down from running for office.

It is laughable to watch for the first time in history the MSM never mention the "evil of big money" during an election....and part of me wants to laugh and say 'go screw yourself McCain'....you brought this on yourself with CFR...

Check the Visa Card nos. of the contributions.

That shouldn’t be difficult, and should indicate what percentage of cards are foreign issued.

Multiple donations under $200 is the target rich field, not Americans using their real names with bigger donations.

Six hundred million to get a 200K a year job? Politics is completely overrun with vermin.

Obama is loved in China, I would not be surprised if Chinese are giving him money. It would be seen as a wise investment.
