Another story that demands more attention is a huge potential fundraising scandal. No, not Al Gore shaking down Buddhist monks. As Ken Timmerman has documented, nearly half of the $400 plus millions that Obama has raised is not transparent, while all of John McCains donations, of whatever size, are. The law says that donations under $200 dont have to be identified, unless cumulatively, from the same person, they exceed the legal limit of $2,300 for the primaries and $2,300 for the general. It has come to light that this process has been sorely abused, and that a number of illegal foreign donations have made their way into the Obama campaign. In some cases, when caught, they returned money, as in the matter of $33,000 returned to residents of Gaza. To explain how they could have done this in the first place, the campaign claimed that they mistook the GA in the address to be Georgia, yet they actually shipped Obama tee-shirts to where the money originated, Gaza, the area between Egypt and Israel controlled by the terrorist organization Hamas. Now, in another article, Timmerman persuasively makes the case that Obama has taken in millions of dollars from overseas sources. Donations from citizens of foreign countries are not legal. According to Timmerman, more than 37,000 Obama donations appear to be conversions of foreign currency. Timmermans latest analysis does not include the $150 million Obama has raked in during September, but according to his findings, potential foreign currency donations could range anywhere from $12.8 million to a stunning $63 million in all. This cries out for an investigation. MORE - Pointer http://exilestreet.com/?p=400#more-400
