Is a donor scandal about to rattle the Obama campaign?
Hotair ^

As Katie Pavlich posted on October 5, the Obama campaign is about to get rocked by a fundraising scandal involving “taxes and foreign donors.” Pavlich wrote that since “billionaires like George Soros support him and considering Hollywood is partially controlled by European money, naturally Obama has foreign support. Obama’s economic philosophy is also similar to European style resdistribution of wealth, which is why French President Francois Hollande supports him.”

This development comes after Obama raised $181 million dollars for the month of September. As Allapundit noted yesterday, that’s a lot of donors. If there wasn’t anything to hide then why is the campaign trying to put a kibosh on the story.

Back in April, I stumbled upon a video that recorded an anomaly with respect to donating to Obama’s campaign online. As the man in the video donates online, he notices that “the Obama campaign does not have the universal 3-digit security code feature for credit card transactions on their website. It appears that anyone, anywhere can donate to President Obama’s re-election campaign, all you need is a credit card number.”

He tried the same thing with the Romney campaign, but the donation was denied since it wasn’t verified.

Media would ignore this just like Solyndra and F&F.

Why was there no donor scandal in 2008? Nothing has changed.

Please.

Everybody knew that Soros laundered hundreds of million through untraceable prepaid debit cards to the Obama campaign in 2008.

Nobody in state-controlled media cared then, and nobody in state-controlled media will care now.

As a matter of fact, they applaud it.

With Eric the Holder running the DOJ? I don’t think so.

Well it turns out all those good liberals from the 60s & 70s who infest the media would be happily supportive of a corrupt one party state. I guess thats the ‘better way’ they were always talking about.

The money is coming from that qe3 that is going to the banks, the banks are kicking some of that 40,000,000,000 a month back to barack in a very sneaky way. Not sneaky enough though. 40 billion in 120 million back. Win Win for the Banks and Barack.

The Obama campaign was questioned about their $750 million in donations in 2008. They investigated themselves and announced that all the donations were under the reportable limit so no problems. They have been investigating themselves ever since then and have never found any problems. You got a problem with that? Let me refer you to the Chicago thugs that protect Obama.

I agree with all previous posters. This is a non event since he cakewalked on this in 2008. That is why the law should read such that contributions must be made to local political entities by personal check drawn from accounts from local bank accounts. This is so easy to regulate but the laws are a ruse. They are only there to give the appearance of propriety. The rules were written by politicians for politicians and McCain-Feingold only made it worse. Thank goodness Citizens United rebalanced the scales. The ultimate donor restriction is -—> No viable person or entity being fully resident in the United States of America shall contribute more than $100 per calendar year to any candidate for political office in the United States or other political entity or viable entity involved even marginally in any political activity.
