Scandal: 'Obama Campaign is Clearly Soliciting Donations From Foreign Nationals'
Mental Recession ^ | 10/08/2012

Posted on 10/08/2012 6:50:20 AM PDT by rustyweiss74

Over the last few days, the internet has been abuzz with the possibility that the Obama campaign was about to be nailed with a major foreign donor scandal, with some even speculating that the President was so distracted by the pending story, that it contributed to his horrible debate performance.

Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner wrote: President Obama's reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.

The campaign tried desperately to block the story, indicating its importance.

Now, the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) has released the report that shows the campaign has been using social media portals to solicit foreigners for donations, using data mining techniques to gain information about people who may not have actually visited the campaign site, and even operating a website for internet users outside the United States.

This, to put it mildly, would be a violation of federal election laws.

6 companies own the MSM Ministry of Propaganda where do you think most of their income is obtained? Let’s just say it is not from advertising revenue.

MSM response: “People are using Social Media to make donations from SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS just like Mitt Romney has”.

Evidently Obama and team is recycling through a Vince Lombardi line:”Winning isn’t everything,it’s the only thing.”

Remember when old Al Gore was wandering around the Buddhist monestary with $200,000 in a suitcase? The Democrats have sold out our nation. Granted, Romney isn’t my first choice for the Republican Presidential nominee, but I’d vote for him every day over Obama. The Democrats are a bunch of self-serving, psychopathic thieves.

What kind of toothless ‘opposition’ party would have done nothing about it over the past four years?

WH response: they aren’t foreigners- they are citizens of the global community.

Supposedly Bob Woodward was talking about this on Hannity the other night. If Woodward feels that Obama is worried by this story, it’s because some MSM outlet will talk about it(not Fox).
