    I am a US citizen living overseas. I donated a few hundred bucks to the Obama campaign and bought some merchandise. And the campaign was pretty meticulous when it came to verifying my citizenship (checked my passport number).

    Obviously, with the number of small donations the campaign received, it took a while for them to do this. With the merchandise it was immediate, since the shipping address was overseas (they would not ship it until they verified my citizenship). But with the online money donations I made during the primary, they only called recently.

    But call they did.

    I pray to God Obama wins as he will assemble the greatest minds
    in the world to help solve the global problems confronting us.

    Unlike McCain who will continue to assemble all the graduates of
    Regent University with their limited view of issues and the world.

    Taking money from Hamas?? It's not suprising, since Hamas endorsed Obama a few months ago. Obama seemed to pal around with domestic terrorist when he was younger. But imagine the International terrorists that Hussein Obama will pal around with if he somehow gets elected. No wonder he wants to meet with them with no preconditions.

      Well Obama endorsed Bush because he knew Bush would
      bankrupt America just like every company he ever ran !

        Dear Techie,
        I seem to recall that GW bought the Texas Rangers when they were in the basement and sold them when they were Champs.

      • Posted By: jmarkw @ 10/05/2008 4:48:48 PM

        LOL.... and pray tell oh Great Brainiac.... what companies were those that he ran into the ground? Don't know do you? Just another irrational Bush-Hater who blames him for everything... just repeating like a trained parrot all the angry-left's false claims and fraudulent smear campaign. One suggestion.... read a book, or a newpaper, or a blog, or something that is not put out by some ultra-left leaning propaganda machine.

            Not all "HIS" companies. Listening to leftist propaganda again. But anyone who has any grasp of history would understand that in that day... when GWB actually DID have an oil company.... oil wad dropped to about $10 a barrel. Small start-up oil companies were dropping ike flies. The Democratic Congress was overseeing yet another FAILED ECONOMY at the time.

            You logic is to blame the checking acount holder for the Bank going under.

            Bush-Haters are all the same... check your independent thnking at the door.

    Dear Techie,
    If you are referring to Halliburton and their so-called no-bid contracts, perhaps you should go back and ask Bill Clinton why he gave them no-bid contracts in the 90's, eh?
    BTW what rights and civil liberties have been taken away from you? Huh?

        Yeah... those DANG DEMOCRATS who voted FOR the USA PATRIOT ACT and then voted to RENEW IT!! And after all the political manuvering also VOTED FOR the Bill that you are referring to that allows eves dropping on foreign calls to suspected terrorist sources and locations.

        The DEMOCRATS voted to give this to you..... they controlled the House and Senate..... but because it was the BEST policy to continue PROTECTING Americans.... they finally put POLITICS aside and VOTED TO CONTINUE protecting you and me. Along with the President and the Republicans.

        Facts and truth can be stubborn things.

        This is why we must get out information from some other place than leftist liberal propaganda machines.
        They never let the truth interfere with a good smear or their own agenda.

    With all claims made by the left about of bent chad, intimidation and every other type of voter fraud why is it that the real examples are almost always on the left. The left is linked to tire slashing, illegal registration, paying cigarettes and even cash to homeless for votes, the lefts and Obama???s association with Acorn and the recent effort to fund the criminal enterprise with federal dollars and now this. What happened to the promise two years, ago of when the Dems took over, of ending the corruption and having a bipartisan Congress.

    One thing about the Right is you have to respect there not defending corruption nearly like the left. It appears to me that a politician can do anything and it will never be condemned if you have a D behind your name. Where is the outrage? It makes me think that all Dems have money in their freezer I am just not a club member.

    I have to say that unlike Mrs. Obama I have never been more ashamed and embarrassed by our political leaders. The lack of credibility our leaders have is stunning. Reid and Pelosi are monumental embarrassments to our country who have proven themselves incapable of getting the job done. Yes, Bush is an embarrassment as well but we don???t need to beat that to up as the pain is nearly over.

    I know I am getting off subject but I will make a prediction watching the recent financial bailout we are going to see one side proclaiming that they voted for the bailout before they voted against it. They will be claiming they were lied to. They will be claiming fear tactics were used and information was invented and withheld. They will claim this was just a bailout for the other side???s financial buddies, sort of a bailout for corporations. There will be an investigation called for and a bipartisan committee to conduct it.

    Sound familiar?

    Obama should disclose all his finances like McCain did. I know it is hard to find anything McCain does as being positive but on this issue he instills more confidence than Obama. I do not want to find out later that monies were received at some meeting at a Chinese Temple. Disclose now or suffer with it for four years of investigation and claims of fraud!

      Don't you wish. Fact and truth are stubborn things. But I have to admit.... you are a very good Obama supporter. You have learned well. If the facts do not support your cause.... make up some new ones.... or just talk trash about the ones who dare point out the facts.

      Bill and Hillary sure learned there lessons.

      What a shame.

      OBAMA the racist can't get more than 39% of the white vote , how do you think he is going to win. The FBI has to investigate this dirty money OBAMA took now..

  • Posted By: karela @ 10/05/2008 2:32:17 PM

    The Obama campaign has taken in half a billion dollars----not including September. That means hundreds of millions of donations. It is inevitable that there could be a few people who slip under the radar by filling in the blanks in such a way that the computer doesn't pick up on them. But Obama has always readily returned any iffy money. There would be no reason to keep it. They have received a half a billion dollars of legitimate donations. There is no reason in the world for them to cheat. It would be counter productive and contrary to everything the campaign stands for.

        What this campaign stands for!?!? Ask Bill and Hillary Clinton what the Obama campaign stands for!! Sure they are putting on the best face for the sake of the Party.... but c'mon already.

        The Obama Campaign and all the ties to corruption that goes all the way back to his earliest days in Chicago are the absolute worst in US political history. Just ask ANY Clinton insider who will talk to you off camera and off the record what they think about about the kind of campaign that Sen. Obama has and is running.

        As an Obama supporter...you will not like the answer.

    Quite obvious, someone is trying to trap Obama for accepting these funds. ALERT is key here, the Republicans will try every trick they can possibly think of, most of them moronic.
    I am waiting for S palin to explain her husbands motine to be a registered member of the Akaska Independent Party, was Sara going to follow him when Alaska was no longer part of this Nation.

      Uh.... is that the best you can do? Her HUSBAND once belonged to a LEGAL political party that was fighting for the civil rights of Alaskans?

      Wasn't it Sen. Obama's spouse who said that this was the first time in her life that she was proud of America!?!?!

    Obama is also hiding his Occidental College, Harvard. Columbia records/thesis, His associations are terrorists,Ayers,Farrakhan, the racist,Jeremiah Wright and the list goes on..From his childhood to his socialistic work and advancement in Chicago's Black mafia,aka chicago's democrat party., he has allied himself with socialistic, marxist and black liberation theolgy mentors..This man is fraudulent and with the current democratic congress, he will appoint the most liberal judges and legislate away our freedoms, starting with the individuals freedom to bear arms. The democratic party could not have found a worst American candidate

    How come when I order something online, I have to specifiy my "real" NAME & ADDRESS exactly as it is onfile with my Credit Card Company or the order is not processed, but the Obama types just take the numbers and run the charge "no questions asked"?

    This sounds like either incompetence (in which case he's not qualified to be president), or (in the style of Chicago mob politics) is willfully turning a blind eye to these schemes in order to get more money (in which case someone should be going to jail-- either from the campaign or the "real" donors-- which can be found very easily with their credit card number).

    Think about this a little further. Because of the way the Obama types accept donations-- people could even be using STOLEN CREDIT CARDS... Why would they setup a donation system that would encourage something like this?

    • Posted By: jmarkw @ 10/05/2008 6:04:42 PM

      Its not incompetence... its corruption. Blatent ACCORN style politics. Do anything and everything you can .. right or wrong... legal or illegal... truth or lies... it just does not matter. It just matters that you get elected. If you are able to RETURN a contribution.... you are able to discover WHO you are returning it to. Just more lies and half-truths that will go unchecked by the liberal left-leaning media.

  • Posted By: GATOR1961 @ 10/05/2008 6:01:42 PM

    We have just learned that, ACORN has registered OSAMA BIN LADEN , all members of AL QUEDA, AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE TALIBAN, AS WELL AS IRANS PRESIDENT MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD to vote for OBAMA. In the dead vote catagory ACORN registered ADOLPH HITLER, SADDAM HUSSIE, YASSAER ARAFAT to vote for OBAMA. All these people are probably all wrote checks to OBAMA.

  • Posted By: techie22 @ 10/05/2008 3:57:42 PM

    I knew a guy who worked for Bush who said they took deeds to property
    as campaign contributions. I didn't hear Republicans saying how illegal
    that was.... And what about them stealing both elections?

    For God's sake can't we put things in perspective and see what these greedy
    Republicans have done to our country and world.

    I'll be so happy to see the morons angry at how the black guy stole the election
    (that is even when he wins fair and square since they are perpetual liars.)

      How can you call him a 'balck' man--he is mulatto--high yellow--half black and half white. Raised by white people. He does not even have slavery in his background.

      • Posted By: techie22 @ 10/05/2008 4:18:53 PM

        Well as far as the superficial opposition sees it, he is black.

        Congratulations on understanding he is half white since most
        people like you can't even get to that level of comprehension.

        • Posted By: jmarkw @ 10/05/2008 5:59:16 PM

          Obama himself claims to be a "black" man. So what? My problem with Obama has nothing to do with him being black any more than having a problem with Jimmy Carter being white. It is the FAILED ultra-left liberal policies that sound good -- promising everything to everyone to get elected -- but then either NOT doing it -- like Bill Clinton wisely did -- or destruction on so many levels like Carter did.

          Its not about being black or white. Its about the RIGHT policies at these URGENT TIMES.

          Sen. Obama talks about CHANGE.... well.... that's all you'll have left if he's elected. A bunch of change in your pocket.

  • Posted By: Ripleydoesn'tbelieve @ 10/05/2008 5:57:41 PM

    Glad to see the MSM FINALLY picking up on this stuff. So, the next question is, when will they start looking into the Logan Act violation Obama committed when in Iraq this past July. In case you don't know what the Logan Act is, it is a federal law, enacted in 1799, which forbids unuathorized American citizens (like a presidential nominee) from negotiating with foreign governments. He was on a fact-finding mission, technically, which many senators and representatives do, in order to get a better grasp on how to vote regarding the war. So how did Obama violate the Logan Act (an act of treason, by the way), you ask? When he went to Iraq and tried to persuade the Iraqi Foreign Minister to postpone ONGOING negotiations with the U.S. regarding troop withdrawals, hoping to take the credit for the withdrawal from the Bush Administration, he was not only interfering with negotiations between our nation and another, but he was trying to subvert them to his own purposes, without concern for the well-being of either our troops or the Iraqi people. Not only should he not be president; he should actually be up on charges.

    To USAGal: Could you please be more specific and specify what exact Bush's economic policicies are that bad for the market and economy. The laws which created this mess were made by president Clinton and democratic Congress.

  • Posted By: a concerned conservative @ 10/05/2008 5:07:39 PM

    The Obama campaign has failed to "share more information about its small donors." What possible reason could there be other than duplicity? If you have nothing to hide, Mr. Obama, why so secretive? I don't like the idea of foreign nationals helping to decide this election. That's not hope, and it's not change, it's voter fraud, something perfected by ... Chicago politicians.

    • Posted By: bob graham @ 10/05/2008 5:47:08 PM

      With the larger numbers falling on Obama's side due to popularity, the odds are better that problems will be in larger numbers. That does not mean problems do not exist or have not been found on McCain's wing of this bird. Always the same birg, just different wings. Two more VIABLE parties are needed giving us four to make any elections more than a MUGABE experience.
