Must read: Ken Timmerman on Obama’s unreported campaign donations

Via Andy McCarthy, who sets an example I’ll follow by keeping his own commentary short to get you to read the whole thing. To be clear: Obama’s not required by law to identify contributions of less than $200. But given that (a) McCain does it voluntarily, (b) The One claims to be all about a new, transparent politics in Washington, and (c) his campaign is famously powered by small donors, it’s a tad curious that most of the names of people who’ve dropped a little north of $222 million on him in small contributions remain known only to him and his campaign.

Especially when some of the ones who have been identified look like this:

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.

HIT ‘EM HARD! Get the word out, and take whatever legal action necessary to force the issue before the courts - there has to be a way...

Recalling a recent thread, I thought this might be of interest.

My guess is that:

a)Mr Soros creates hundreds of “little” 527 orgs, and makes lovely “charitable” donations of millions each to get them going

b)the 527s “hire” “workers” from Acorn

c)the Acorn “workers” “donate” their “wages” in small checks to Obama

The fiction of millions of little Obama supporters as responsible for his fund-raising prowess is more likely millions from fat cats, laundered through thousands of “little” people
