Where Is Obama Getting All That Money?
Rick Moskowitz
Ever wonder where (and how) Barack Obama’s campaign has raised over $400 million in contributions so far? Most of it, we are told, comes from individuals donating less than $200, and is thus conveniently exempt from federal disclosure requirements.
But recent articles in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Newsweek, and Newsmax.com are raising some very disturbing questions about the sources of all this money. They suggest that Obama’s much-vaunted on-line fundraising operation has collected substantial sums from foreign nationals and from essentially anonymous sources like “Will, Good” – who listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You” – despite federal laws prohibiting such practices.
Some of the foreign contributions may have originated in places like China, Iran, Iraq, the Gaza Strip, and Palestine. As the articles make clear, the Federal Election Commission is investigating these irregularities, but probably won’t have time to complete its investigation of these “irregularities” until well after the election is over.
I highly recommend reading all three of these articles, but if you have time for only one, check out Kenneth Timmerman’s report in Newsmax. It is the most comprehensive by far, but I include the other two for the benefit of those who might otherwise dismiss the Newsmax piece as mere “Republican propaganda.”
