BHO war chest still a mystery

October 3, 2009

.

Consider this NewsMax report from a year ago:

Excerpt

Unlike the McCain campaign, which has made its complete donor database available online, the Obama campaign has not identified donors for nearly half the amount he has raised, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).    Federal law does not require the campaigns to identify donors who give less than $200 during the election cycle. However, it does require that campaigns calculate running totals for each donor and report them once they go beyond the $200 mark.  Surprisingly, the great majority of Obama donors never break the $200 threshold.

_________

Some say Obama bought the Presidency.    Here are the reasons for suspicion.  One might ask, is the FEC investigating?  No.  Is the mainstream media investigating.  No.  How come?

Obama likely to escape campaign audit  Politico

Obama raised $747 million and spent about $730 million.  McCain raised $351 million and spent about $310 million.  Obama raised more than twice as much and spent more than twice as much as McCain.  Hillary raised $227 million and spent $218 million.  Combined, McCain and Clinton only raised 77% of what Obama raised. 

No one has ever raised $747 million to run for President, and obviously, no one has ever spent $730 million either.

Overall, in the last presidential campaign, the Democrats spent $1.079 BILLION, while Republicans spent $606 MILLION, so why then are Republicans considered the party of the rich?

Even the Washington Post raised eyebrows concerning the financial dealings of the Democrats and Obama in particular, full story here.  The story, headlined “Obama Accepting Untraceable Donations” noted:

 Sen. Barack Obama‘s presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor’s identity, campaign officials confirmed. Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.”

SCRUTINIZING THE BOOKS AFTER THE MONEY IS DEPOSITED.   CONVENIENT.   IF YOU CANNOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE DONATION, HOW CAN YOU RETURN IT?  IF THERE IS NO WAY TO DETECT ILLEGALITY, WHY EVEN BOTHER? 

In view of the extraordinary war chest amassed by Obama, and the methods used to collect money over the internet, money not easily traced or accounted for, serious questions were raised about campaign finance irregularies and allegedly illegal contributions from foreign sources.

Among the stories to appear:

Obama’s Foreign Donors: The media averts its eyes

Obama contributions: foreign and domestic

OH, OH . . . BUT WAIT!  HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS.  THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS RETURNING FOREIGN CONTRIBUTIONS!  How much so far?

$89,000.00

Hey, but the Obama campaign gave $50,000.00 to charity in Chicago!

Dedicated Leader or Daddy Daycare?

October 10, 2008

On election day we choose between a distinctly inexperienced, unqualified and questionable individual presenting ever-changing policies, versus a tested statesman, military expert, proven leader and respected foreign policy expert.

 

 

AMERICANS: TOUGH-MINDED OR LIMP-WRISTED?

Will we choose the Proven Horse or the Prancing Pony?

By Allan Erickson

10.10.08

 

 

Growing numbers of Americans are increasingly angry and frustrated about Sen. Barack Obama, his candidacy for President, and the lack of integrity in media when it comes to objective coverage, or lack thereof.  Any and everything can be thrown at McCain/Palin with alacrity and glee.  Raise your voice simply to ask a question about Obama and you are a racist, a sexist, a homophobe etc.

 

Americans see a good and decent woman of accomplishment in Sarah Palin, a woman savaged for weeks by the press and Hollywood, an individual raked over the coals for no reason other than she is a conservative Christian who opposes abortion.  What crimes the devious commit seeking high office!  In America it is a high crime to have an opinion contrary to the altogether enlightened, cosmopolitan and politically correct Left.    

 

Observing Palin’s treatment causes one to wonder if our country has become little more than a circus, preoccupied with a kind of professional wrestling approach to politics.   Everything has become a smack down. Apparently it is fine to be a bigot, and display hateful prejudice against all things Christian, all things Republican, all things conservative.  Bigots are as bigots do.  It becomes obvious the Left is more concerned about promoting political ideology and less interested in avoiding racial tension, class warfare, internal collapse.

 

When someone objectively documents and expresses reasonable criticisms of Sen. Obama, the Left immediately boils tar and plucks feathers, all the while screaming the most vile invective.  Evidence is abundant.  Watch the evening news, the talk shows, or visit a conservative website and read the comments.  However, let one nut case yell out a stupid remark at a McCain rally and it makes the headlines at Huffington and on the front pages and on the 5:00 news, reported as proof positive Republicans are hate-filled warmongers unconcerned about the poor, racist imperialists through and through!

 

Those promoting Leftist ideology, in the main Democrats as radicalized as Obama, essentially call for the overthrow of all things traditionally American. 

 

They call for socialism versus capitalism, endorse gay marriage and denigrate heterosexual monogamy, characterize baby killing as a right and a privacy issue, codify government as god to engineer society, steal from the Haves to subsidize and subjugate the HaveNots, embrace foreign enemies, break laws, disrupt domestic tranquility, turn race against race, encourage illegal immigration, ridicule Judeo-Christian values, promote atheism, exalt human wisdom above humble faith, canonize terrorists and insult patriots.

 

Just the kind of folks you want over for Sunday dinner?  Just the kind of folks you want running the country?

 

In 25 days we select a President.

 

Will we use our heads, or allow emotionalism to drive us to the polls?

 

Most of the people supporting Obama express warm fuzzes:  he makes people feel good, he makes them ‘hopeful,’ he represents change, he’ll make the Europeans feel good about us, he makes youth feel good about the future, he excites, he inspires, he understands, he cares.

 

Dear fellow citizens, we are not voting for an American Idol.  

 

We are selecting an individual to lead the free world in the face of global economic chaos, global Islamic terrorism, global natural disasters, and the rise of rogue states hell bent on obtaining and using nuclear weapons.

 

This is not a choice between the Fonz and the Frat Boy. 

 

This is a choice between a distinctly inexperienced, unqualified and questionable individual presenting an ever-changing platform versus a tested statesman, military expert, proven leader and respected foreign policy expert.

 

Feeling good is short-lived, offering lousy return on investment.  The limp-wristed will not inherit the earth.  They offer a weak hand to the tiller of state.

 

Tough mindedness is required today.  An intelligent choice demands emotionalism take a back seat.

 

We need a servant steeled by suffering, not a politician promoted by propaganda.

 

We need a decisive, dedicated leader, not daddy daycare. 

 

We need a proven horse, not a prancing pony.   

 

Finally, if the majority of people are not concerned about the glaring warning lights shining on Sen. Obama, as follows, then reason will not rule election day:

 

 

Experience/qualification

Bill Clinton does not think Obama is qualified.  Hillary Clinton does not think Obama is qualified.  Joe Biden said during the primaries the Presidency does not lend itself to on-the-job training, saying Obama is not qualifited. Obama has no executive experience (other than four years CEO of Ayers’ CAC), no direct foreign policy experience, little federal legislative experience, no military experience, and get this, he would not pass the background check to be a Secret Service agent because of his association with Ayers, a terrorist.

 

Why do all these Democrats endorse McCain?

Radical associations, a legacy of anti-Americanism: Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, Kalidi, Al-Mosour, Meeks, Pfleger, Rezko, Soros, MoveOn, ACORN, Public Allies, Woods Foundation, Annenberg Challenge, Nation of Islam, American Communist Party.  Sen. Obama, you can denounce these associations today, but for years you were in bed with them, helping them, and they were working for you, and continue to this day, and Americans have every right to question your loyalties.

BHO: Bucks & Ballots Make Change, Change, Change

October 8, 2008

By Allan Erickson      10.8.08

 

One guy:  “Man, this guy makes Slick Willie look like a cub scout.”

Other guy:  “Yeah, you gotta give him credit, though.  He sure knows how to organize.”

 

Barack Obama says he has lived the American dream, that nowhere else on earth could a man like him from humble beginnings rise so far so fast.   Ours is the greatest country on earth, he says, and he loves our country.   What a wonderful country.

 

‘Now let’s change everything.’

 

What’s that?

 

Change is BHO’s specialty.

 

He changed from high school (where he learned America is racist, sexist, warlike and exploitive) to Occidental College, to Columbia University, and then to Harvard Law School.   Reportedly, much of his schooling involved learning to embrace the ‘reality’ that America is racist, sexist, jingoistic, and exploitive.  From law school he changed into a community organizer and learned more about rotten America from disciples of Marxist Saul Alinsky, and from Bill Ayers, mastermind of domestic terrorism in the 60s.

 

Again, he changed and while being groomed for politics he lectured law and married another community organizer, both agreeing America is racist, sexist, jingoistic, and exploitive.   They started a family, and a non-profit activist outfit named Public Allies, an organization committed to teaching young people that America is racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic and exploitive.  He changed again, and expanded his range, working for ACORN, another organization devoted to spreading the gospel that America is the problem.  Along that same line he and Ayers sought change.  They managed a $100M war chest in Chicago to radicalize public schools there, teaching children America is the problem: sexist, racist, homophobic, jingoistic, exploitive.

 

BHO changed.  He became a state senator voting “present” 130 times.  Ran for U.S. Senate.  After 143 days on the job, after promising to complete his term, he started a run for the presidency, promising change, offering hope.  The agenda appears to be: ‘We must take the most successful democratic republic ever known, and change it from top down, because it is racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, and exploitive.  We are going to do this by destroying capitalism, submitting to the U.N., removing God from the picture, and replacing him with the benevolence of federal domination.’

 

Working hard toward realizing those hopeful dreams to change America, BHO has campaigned for what, 21 months, day and night crisscrossing the nation, and Europe, spreading the message, and changing the message, innumerable times.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKF0VVnKmHQ

 

BHO has changed.  Where once he talked across the board tax increases and increases in government spending, today he sounds like Reagan.  At one time he talked about taking a defensive posture in the face of terrorism, and cutting defense.  Now, he tries to sound like Reagan.   At one time he promoted radicalism and gay rights and abortion, now he sounds like a traditionalist, at least in a watered down way. Not long ago he told us we had to leave our religion and our guns and embrace universalism, depending on government for our collective salvation.  Now he sounds like John Wayne riding off to Pakistan to shoot bin Laden with a .30/.30.

 

And the people are buying this Blue State Special, apparently unaware the culture war is in reality a war for the soul of America, yes, a religious war—-socialist humanism versus Judeo-Christian capitalism. 

 

Well, ok.  The voters decide.  Fair elections determine our fate.  So be it. 

 

Only problem is, are we talkin’ fair election?

 

For months the reports have come in about voter fraud (see stories below). 

 

For weeks, the reports have surfaced concerning foreign money flowing into the Obama campaign.  An FEC official is calling for an investigation into $200M allegedly coming from foreign powers.  $200M is 40% of the record breaking $500M Obama has raised, more than twice the amount of any candidate for president, ever, including Hillary Clinton.

What’s up?

 

Is the government looking into all this?  Somewhat.  Kind of a like Fannie Mae oversight: let ‘er rip until doomsday.  After all, the quest is to aid those victimized by racism, sexism, homophobia, jingoism and capitalism, so, hey, if we bend the rules a little here and there to level the playing field, that’s justice, right?

 

Is it fair to question Obama’s changes and his principles and his character and judgment and trustworthiness through all of this?  Of course it is.  But you see, if you do, you are an ignorant, anti-modern, racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, capitalist dog, so just play along, if you know what is good for you. 

 

America is fading away.  “Turn and face the strange changes . . . ‘   America is fading away, and Americans are making it happen.  Looks like we are going to put a radical activist sympathetic to our enemies in charge of the U.S. military in a time of war.  Yup.  Huh?

 

Why don’t we just commit suicide and be done with it?

 

Ahmadinejad & The Boys don’t need nuclear weapons.  The Obama/Soros/ACORN/Alinsky/Ayers cabal is doing the heavy lifting for them.  Who knows?  Maybe a majority of Americans will wake up before the fox eats all the chickens, but it’s not looking too promising.  We need our rest you know.

The ACORN/Obama Voter Registration “Thug Thizzle”

Michelle Malkin

October 08, 2008

Systemic corruption of our election process continues. Barack Obama and his old friends at ACORN and Project Vote are leading the way. This radical revolution is taking place in your backyard. And as I’ve reported before, this voter-fraud racket is on your dime.

“The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.  It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.”

 

As the Obama campaign approaches a record-setting  $500m mark *, more than twice the amount of any other presidential candidate ever, reports indicate an unnamed Federal Election Commission auditor is calling for a formal investigation.
