Funny Money Floods the Obama Campaign

Times Are Tight yet Funds Flow like Water into the Obama Campaign, but Where is This Money Coming From?

Amanda Keller
Never in campaign fundraising history has a candidate brought in so much money so quickly. 150 million dollars came into the Obama campaign this past month. In a climate where money is tight, people are concerned about their jobs and financial security how is it that this insane amount of money floods into the Obama campaign just as McCain begins to gain in the polls? First and foremost, I want Barack Obama to explain to me why he agreed to take public funds along with John McCain and then turns from this honorable pledge and reneges on it without the least care to what his word on an agreement means. This is the mark of a shifty character at the very least. Add to this, Obama's undeniable connection to ACORN that grows deeper each day along with the instances now coming to light of people's private charge cards being docked hundreds and in a few cases, thousands of dollars as unauthorized contributions to the Obama campaign. Reports say there have been record sums of small donations to Obama that remain untraceable via the Internet. This to me is troubling. Is it to you? Does any of this make sense? Foreign monies can be funneled with little effort straight into the coffers of Obama. A Saudi prince or a Nicaraguan dictator or an Iranian mullah could buy our election and there is no way we can truly know the truth or stop it before November 4th. And my question remains, why did Barack Obama break his promise to John McCain? How many other promises will Obama break?

Where is the mainstream media on this? Why are we all being left in the dark? Why, if all these funds are valid, aren't the sources being disclosed? Every campaign knows where ever dollar comes from. With every contribution, data is collected by the campaigns so they can return to this source for more funds later yet the Obama campaign claims they don't keep track of all of the small donations, have no way of knowing where each came from. Something fishy is going on here and possibly the most important presidential election stands in the balance. If foreign money is being collected this must be revealed. If Obama had stuck to his word and took public funding, this specter of foreign funding would be mute. If Obama's money is all from the financially strapped American public then I have no problem with it. I will commend him for a fantastic ground game but if instead this windfall of cash is not from the pockets of economically hurting Americans but rather, foreign accounts, this puts a whole new spin on "spreading the wealth".

  • Does Obama's "spreading the wealth" include accepting campaign donations from foreign accounts?
Obama's campaign made $150 million dollars in donations in one month during a time when Americans are most financially strapped.

    What is going on with your ratings? Two minutes ago youi had a 4.7 and now it's zero. You didn't ask Obama a question did you?

    Amanda, The saddest thing of all is that Obama supporters don't care if he takes illegal money. They don't care who his friends and associates are. All they care about is winning. If we look, and not even very closely, we can clearly see that this whole election has developed into a class war and that is what Obama wants. Someone once said "a government that will rob Peter to pay Paul, will always have the support of Paul." Obama and his handlers are counting on that.

    Excellent points Tony. I'm also concerned about the ability to hack into credit card accounts. Seems like anyone with a PayPal account could get docked a dollar and who would notice but you know darn well there are more than 150 million PayPal accounts. There's much more to this than meets the eye. Thanks for the comments.

    This will continue to be whitewashed because the all powerful liberal media that thinks they represent the mainstream WILL get him into office.

    Interesting article. Barack 0bama has accepted payment from folks from the Gaza strip, he also paid out over 800,000 bucks to an ACORN front. 0bama has a long history of fraud and corruption and he is wallowing in it during this campaign. The proof is readily available to us..but the folks (reminiscent of the People's Temple) are allowing ideology and their addiction to pop-culture blind them to reality.

    If Obama should win the election, we will find out where all this money came from. Those that contributed will probably help run our country. Definately SCARY! Agree with your article totally.

    ACORN voter fraud issues along with the questions of the funding of the Obama campaign make me fear that this election may be rigged. It's a bit scary.
