Obama’s Million-Dollar Cash Cow: Internet Campaign Donations… Fraud on BHO Website?

The Obamas arrive in UK on Air Force One for G20 summit, April 2009
Barack and Michelle have jetted across America in Air Force One a number of times during the past week or so, attending various college graduation ceremonies as commencement speakers. Lots of applause, lots of admiration. Sigh… a fun week for POTUS and FLOTUS.
What will they do for diversion next week? Maybe… maybe they could rev up those fraudulent Internet donations for Obama’s 2012 re-election! Oooh, now THAT could be fun!
And maybe use some of that booty to convince Nevada that Harry Reid isn’t the weasel moron that he is. Maybe the same will be needed in California for “Liar of the House” Pelosi. No problem… Obama has his cracker-jack-wiz computer geek tucked away in a safe place to dismantle all those pesky verification widgets and gizmos that are required by the government to make sure that incoming donations are made legally and by US citizens and that proper, transparent accounting is implemented.
Otherwise, wealthy non-American people using fictitious names and living in Saudi Arabia or Iran or Kenya could donate millions of dollars to a candidate, corrupting the presidential donation process.
All kidding aside, there have been a number of grave concerns voiced over the months about Obama’s donation website, which is still raking in the big bucks. Is fraud being committed by donors? Do we know that all donations made are indeed from American citizens?
No, we actually don’t. But without a formal audit or investigation, though, it is premature to assume. The mainstream media has been mum on this issue. Why is investigating Sarah Palin’s RNC wardrobe more important than this? Obama’s site has been under suspicion for months: Say Anything: National Journal Makes Illegal Contributions To Campaigns, Obama Accepts McCain Doesn’t
An inquiry, just an audit, into the gigantic donation machine of Obama would put these questions to rest. There have been concerns expressed about the lack of transparency of the site, much of which was brought up by people prior to the election. If BHO’s website is following government rules and regulations, and the murmurs about the lack of proper reporting and the lack of proper verification systems activated is just one big ol’ misunderstanding, excellent. But if he’s not… American citizens need to be told that lawbreaking is OK if you’re the first American black president.

From Gateway Pundit:
FEC Rules on Palin’s Wardrobe… Ignores Obama’s Illegal Donations
May 19, 2009The FEC dismissed a complaint over the $150,000 designer wardrobe the Republican Party bought for VP candidate Sarah Palin and her family. The Far Left Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington had filed the complaint against the Alaska Governor.
The FEC has yet to conduct an audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaign’s record-shattering windfall, despite accusations of questionable donations and accounting methods.
–In case you forgot about the MASSIVE election donations fraud by the Obama Campaign here is a look back at the scandal:
By turning off their Address Verification System, or AVS, at the Obama website, the Democratic candidate was able to raise a record $150 million in donations last month from millions of donors from all over the world.
Here’s more proof that the Obama Camp is still cheating and accepting donations from anyone anywhere in the world!
This came in the mailbox:
Jim,
It took a few days to confirm, but as of this morning all four charges have posted to my CC account (see attached). Remember, these were all separate donations made by:
John Galt
Saddam Hussein
Osama Bin Laden
Bill AyersAnd I have the screenshots to prove it. Also, I made another attempt this morning to make a $10 donation under the name Tony Rezko (See attached.) And it went thru again. So reports that this has been fixed are erroneous.
Further, last night on Sheppard Smith’s 3pm-ET show this issue was brought up briefly and they cited the Obama campaign falsely claiming that this sort of thing happens at the McCain site and that they catch these errors later in the processing. Well, it took three days to process my donations and they all skated through their rigorous screening.
