According to the Washington Examiner, a big story is about to hit that after Obama’s poor performance at the presidential debates on Wednesday night, a new emerging scandal pens that he and his campaign may have have been accepting donations overseas by unknown nations, possibly Middle Eastern nations in violation of federal election laws.

Some are also theorizing that the Obama campaign and Obama himself were aware of the story which may have contributed to Obama’s poor performance at the debate against Mitt Romney due to the source that told the Washington Examiner that the Obama camp has been attempting to block the story.

Knowledgeable sources told the Washington Examiner that a national magazine and a national web site are preparing the donor scandal story which most likely will be released on Monday although Sunday is possible.

A taxpayer watch group is behind the allegations through their investigations but the group has not been named.

It also appears that Obama’s campaign broke a record by raising $181 million dollars last month but it was not announced on Friday when the numbers were reported. The numbers were announced this morning thereby raising suspicions as to why today and not yesterday and the suspicion of the astronomical amount raised in one month, when Obama's campaign was behind, is nearly unheard of.

The donation issue with Obama and his campaign is nothing new. In 2008, Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs reported on illegal donations to the Obama campaign in the 2008 Presidential election. The mainstream media remained quiet about the illegal donations.

Travis you read too much into biased articles.
 
snip....
-- Obama Campaign Lacks the Industry-Standard Level Of Credit Card Security For Donations, But Uses It For Merchandise Purchases: To purchase Obama campaign merchandise, the campaign requires buyers to enter their credit card CVV security code, but does not require the credit card security code to be entered when making an online campaign donation. By GAI's estimates, the Obama campaign's failure to utilize industry-standard protections potentially costs the campaign millions in extra processing fees.

-- Obama.com Purchased By An Obama Bundler In Shanghai, China With Questionable Business Ties to State-Run Chinese Enterprises: In 2008, Obama.com was purchased by an Obama fundraiser living in Shanghai, China, whose business is heavily dependent on relationships with Chinese state-run television and other state-owned entities.

-- 68% Of Traffic To Anonymously Registered Obama.com Is Foreign: According to industry leading web analytics site Markosweb, an anonymously registered redirect site (Obama.com) features 68% foreign traffic. Starting in December 2011, the site was linked to a specific donation page on the official Barack Obama campaign website for ten months. The page loaded a tracking number, 634930, into a space on the website labeled "who encouraged you to make this donation." That tracking number is embedded in the source code for Obama.com and is associated with the Obama Victory Fund. In early September 2012, the page began redirecting to the standard Obama Victory Fund donation page. Search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, using common spamming techniques, may have also been undertaken by unknown third-parties, generating foreign traffic to Obama.com.

If he has really broken the law, have your representative properly charge him. There may be a reason no such charges have been leveled.

Unless they present their sources I wouldn't trust them by a longshot. I can make up random sh*t too and post in an article and say it was from "sources".
 
I have posted this elsewhere but this time I am not joking. I would like someone to put together a list of all the things the Connies say Obama did, did not do, was guilty of, ignored, etc. The list would probably be big enough to circle the globe a couple of times and might finally show them how ridiculous they are being.
 
OH WOW.... the iceberg has again been hit...

The Government Accountability Institute today released details of an eight-month probe into fundraising by the presidential candidates and all House and Senate candidates that also shows that the president's outreach and fundraising have targeted websites in Chinese, Arabic, Thai, and Korean. Generally, donations from foreign nations are illegal.

The 108-page analysis from the group that made news in an earlier report that suggested President Obama skips many of his national security briefings studied security flaws in credit card fundraising conducted by Obama, Mitt Romney, and congressional candidates. Many have security flaws, said the report.

It's a tradition in some corners of Dem politics. The Chinese bought Clinton a second term in 1996, and in return he gave his US donor buddies permission to sell GPS technology to his Chinese donor buddies. This was the motivation for the wall that Jamie Gorelick (in the DOJ) erected between the FBI and the CIA to prevent them from talking to each other. That wall was torn down after the unintended consequence of the 9/11 attack, but Jamie was well rewarded with a lucrative post at Fannie Mae where she became quite wealthy while guiding us into the Great Crash.

so well said my friend....
 
The campaign said that just over 1.8 million people made donations to the campaign last month. According to the campaign, over 500k of these were brand-new donors, having neither given in 2008 nor 2012. 98% of contributions were under the reporting threshold of $250. Of these, the average contribution was $53.

Its really a tale of two worlds. 35k people gave an average of $2,600, while just over 1.7 million people gave an average of $53. Half the campaign's haul came from people giving around the maximum amount and half from people who don't have to be disclosed. Seems a bit odd.

The average of $53 from small donors is particularly noteworthy. Contributions under $200 don't have to be disclosed, but the campaign still has to keep track of the donor's name, in case subsequent donations push their contribution over the reporting threshold.

For contributions under $50, however, the campaign doesn't even have to keep track of the donor's name. It is effectively considered a "petty cash" donation. A person could theoretically make 10 $49 donations and never be reported, even though their total contributions are above the FEC's reporting threshold.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. :coffeepap

Look there are real issues. No need to be hyperbolic. And if a law has been broken, legal action and not silliness is the best remedy.

You say "the report" as if we had been talking about it already.
This doesn't seem to be the report mentioned in the article cited in the OP.
Am I mistaken? Was the report actually released a week or so ago on September 26th and not still to be released sometime today?
This report is dated from September.

What are the "normal" / "not odd" ratios we should expect from these numbers??

Simon...

lets drill down on this together... Im not sure what is "normal" but I know this doesnt look normal, and Mitt was said to be abiding by the laws and doing to correctly...

Dude chill out, Obama's reelection is not the end of the world nor the United States. Some people, like you, need to take a step back and reexamie their life and realize that things aren't that bad regardless of who is President, you are certainly better off than most people in the world.

Also, you've mentioned several times before that Romney is going to win in a landslide and that his victory is as certain as the sun rising tomorrow. So if that's the case why do you freak out so much at the idea of an Obama reelection? If its an outcome that's impossible and will not occur, what's there to worry about?

If I was as confident as you that things would turn out exactly how I wanted them to I'd be much more calm.

And if you for for Obama light, Romney, and he wins, fine.

But legal issues are legal issues.

I agree... but if Obama ais getting MILLIONS and MILLIONS from illegal overseas funding, it need to be known now.. unless you are willing to have Obama impeached..

again.. if Obama gains and edge by getting millions in illegal ways it could shape the election.. and Obama is a disaster.. the USA is beign destroyed by him..
