Audit of Obama Fundraising Unlikely

"Timmerman published a new report on Oct. 8, disclosing that an investigation of Obama’s campaign finance reports turned up more than 2,000 cases in which individuals made donations far above the legal limit of $2,300 per election.

He followed up with a new report on Oct. 19, disclosing that more than 37,000 Obama donations appeared to be conversions of foreign currency, totaling as much as $63 million."

The FEC will send letters pointing out discrepancies and the campaign will make refunds. Standard operating procedure. Overseas funds are perfectly legal from US citizens.

I especially liked this part of the NewsMax story:

"Then on Oct. 29, Timmerman reported: “A Newsmax investigation of Obama/Biden campaign contributors, undertaken in conjunction with a private investigative firm headed by a former CIA operations officer, has identified 118 donors who appear to lack U.S. citizenship.”

Oooooh... a private investigative firm run by a former CIA officer! I hope it's not Ollie North.

Garvin: Obama's money
Submitted by Bonkers on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 6:36am.

His money for TV, etc., came from the same place as McCain's---from you and I.

It won't be investigated much due to possible McCain problems that would surface. (and others).

With all of the graft and fraud from our business and banker friends of late, all this is "chicken feed," and will be put way back by congress in it's investigations next year!
There will be no end as to just how many bankers, lawyers, and other and sundry crooks will be investigated to cover up our horrible losses in our capital.
Many of those who absconded with much of it are set for life in Hawaii, the South Sea Islands, the Caribbean Islands, and Bimini!

Go after them, first! Maybe next time they will think better of being scoundrels!
