I repeat: Barack Obama is not qualified to be president. Let’s focus on his blatant political corruption. Numerous reports indicates rampant fundraising abuse http://toledoblade.com/apps/pb…

The people of this country are NOT going to be taken in by a smooth-talking flim-flam man named Obama. And if you want to stick your head in the sand and suggest this is a “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”, all the better.

p>Because of campaign finance issues, John McCain has had to return over $1.2 million to donors who potentially violated the law with their contributions. We look forward to a thorough investigation into whether John McCain’s campaign has returned all of the money it raised from foreign nationals, as they have admitted McCain-bundler Harry Sergeant has done. Without accepting a dime from the Washington lobbyists or corporate PACs that have funded John McCain’s campaign, our campaign has shattered fundraising records with donations from more than 2.5 million Americans. We have gone above and beyond the transparency requirements by disclosing our bundlers and the levels of contributions they raise. We constantly review our donors for any issues and while no organization is completely protected from internet fraud, we will continue to review our fundraising procedures to ensure that we are taking every available to step to root-out improper contributions,” said Obama-Biden spokesman Bill Burton.

p>Independent Group Files Complaint Over McCain Raising Money from Foreign Nationals: “A watchdog group said Monday it filed a complaint with U.S. election officials over a fundraiser Republican presidential hopeful John McCain held in London. Judicial Watch argues that providing a venue for the event free of charge was an illegal in-kind contribution from two foreign nationals, The Hill reported. The newspaper identified the two donors only as Lord Rothschild OM GBE and The Honorable Nathaniel Rothschild.” UPI, 4/28/08

It sounds like Obama’s biggest “sin” here is accepting a large percentage of donations from low-dollar donors, something the campaign is actually quite proud of. I don’t know about the Toledo Blade or columnist Jack Kelly, but NewsMax for sure is just plain not credible. Besides I believe the obligation of campaigns is to make the “best effort” to identify its donors. There is no evidence here that the campaign is knowingly and willingly soliciting donations from illegal sources or in illegal amounts. Obama is probably one of the least corrupt politicians out there and this attack frankly smacks of desperation.
Never mind.
