So does the Obama campaign get to keep the money anyway? Or does it have to be returned?

Yes. According to the article, the credit card company wrote off the debt. Other peoples interest rates will pay it off. Because of the write off, this felon managed to steal from every credit card holder in the country.

Think about this for a minute. The people at Chase want to support the Obama campaign but they are only allowed
to donate whatever the max contribution is. They charge a customers account $2300.00. When challenged, they remove
the charge from the customers account, but leave the money in Obamas pocket.
The customer may indeed be credited by Chase, but who is making sure that Chase isn’t just using this as a ploy to exceed their maximum allowable political contribution?

Then in that case I wonder if it would just be best to contact the Obama camp directly and tell them to return the money. If they didn't for some reason take it to the media (Fox, Drudge, Rush) and then the bank and FBI.

IMO Your state’s AG should be able to handle it. COntact them and the FBI. Let both know you have contacted the other are willing to press charges and ask for immediate action
