'Untraceable Donations' ...

The WaPost reports:
"Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity, campaign officials confirmed."

How do we know those cards weren't pruchased by the Obama camgaign who then sends an aide somewhere to distribute the cards? I know how that can be done, because I did it with Mexicans sending money home to their families in Mexico- rather prepaids that get loaded up on payday. There are ways tot rack it as well. |

Those ties to Kenya were believed to be from Odinga. Google that fine citizen of the Human race. Goodluck getting Obama to allow an investigation of any of that. You'll have about as much luck talking Barney Frank into investigating his and Dodds corruption with Fannie and Freddie |

There was already a report about campaign fund raising in Libya. Not sure about the accuracy though. Given BHO's ties to Kenya corrupt politicians, it seems worth investigating...which wont be done till after the election. |

snot on a doorknob but then, that is what we have come to expect. Expediency, not principle, is the driving force in Obama.
"The Obama team's disclosures came in response to questions from The Washington Post about the case of Mary T. Biskup, a retired insurance manager from Manchester, Mo., who turned up on Obama's FEC reports as having donated $174,800 to the campaign. Contributors are limited to giving $2,300 for the general election.
Biskup, who had scores of Obama contributions attributed to her, said in an interview that she never donated to the candidate. "That's an error," she said. Moreover, she added, her credit card was never billed for the donations, meaning someone appropriated her name and made the contributions with another card."
"Juan Proaño, whose technology firm handled online contributions for John Edwards's presidential primary campaign, and for John F. Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2004, said it is possible to require donors' names and addresses to match those on their credit card accounts. But, he said, some campaigns are reluctant to impose that extra layer of security.
"Honestly, you want to have the least amount of hurdles in processing contributions quickly," Proaño said." Indeed, hurdles would be an inconvenience to the expeditious collection of funds.
Barack Hussein Obama will do a vigorous check on the back end so let's just all relax and let the money flow to a guy who reneged on his pledge to use public financing. Some badge of honor for a presidential candidate to wear.

Dems correctly surmised that if Obama wins a Presidential election it would not be overturned by donation fraud. By the time anything is proved we will be gearing up for the next election. I agree with RASHUM there is too much money coming in that could be accounted for by legitimate means. |

All those people giving money are gong to want something, other than Obama's"Hope" Foreign money electing a U.S. President, Comrades, Imagine. I wouldn't be suprised if Chavez isn't donating to him. I would almost bet money on it that he is. |

Ya'll should check 'em out. Great info over there. When I informed my family and friends, they were disgusted. |

There is no way Obama can raise as much money as he has without accepting foreign and contributions over the $2300 limit (or $4600 is you include the primary). |
