Secret, foreign money floods into Obama campaign

...a donor identified as "Pro, Doodad," from "Nando, NY," gave $19,500 in 786 separate donations, most of them for $25. For most of these donations, Mr. Doodad Pro listed his employer as "Loving" and his profession as "You," just as Good Will had done.

But in some of them, he didn't even go this far, apparently picking letters at random to fill in the blanks on the credit card donation form. In these cases, he said he was employed by "VCX" and that his profession was "VCVC."

Following FEC requests, the Obama campaign began refunding money to Doodad Pro in February 2008. In all, about $8,425 was charged back to a credit card. But that still left a net total of $11,165 as of Sept. 20, way over the individual limit of $4,600.

In July and August, the head of the Nigeria's stock market held a series of pro-Obama fundraisers in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. The events attracted local Nigerian businesses owners.

At one event, a table of eight at one fundraising dinner went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000.

In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign.

"All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man," the Libyan leader said. "They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency..."

Though Gadhafi asserted that fundraising from Arab and African nations were "legitimate," the fact is that U.S. federal law bans any foreigner from donating to a U.S. election campaign.

Wow. Just wow. Where is the MSM on this ???

If they ever did cover it they would cheer on Obama's multicultural and international base of support as an example of his foreign policy experience.

I don't know a single Obabma supporter that would have the slightest problem with any of this.

Yes, they would say something along the lines of "Obama's so great, he's even got Gaddafi liking us". This is getting rediculous

Since when did welfare scammers, credit card fraud artists and grifters care about an election?

Also be prepared for guys like Kim Jung Il and other rogue leaders coming in from the cold if Obama becomes president. Call it the Jesse Jackson effect. Jackson in the 70's and early 80's had every enemy of the US embracing him with flashbulbs burning.
