FemiSex raised the Red Flag of Donor Fraud and Camp Obama last June; Obama secrecy comparable to Cheney'sMonday, October 6, 2008 at 2:44 pm — admin
FemiSex raised the Red Flag of potential donor fraud via foreign donors to Camp Obama way back in June of this year. Indeed, Obama has remained a most secretive candidate, unwilling to allow vetting of his small donors among other things of import. This is akin to Dick Cheney’s refusal to allow open vetting of his energy policy machine. This is yet another troubling parallel to the closed-mouth policy of the Bush admin that lead American down a torturous path to a war that was not fully vetted by the press, and in turn dis-allowing the public adequate information. FemiSex fears that in Obama we are just trading the secretive machine of the far Right Bush Admin for another secretive machine of the Far Left in Obama. And worse yet, the MSM with the tools, resources, and cachet to do true investigative work, is once again abrogating its duty to vet troubling circumstances that are of national importance. American’s must surely know if illegal donations are behind the juggernaut of Funds flowing to a candidate who has evenly divided this country, first in the primary season and now in the general election season. Femisex is run by journos with a proven track record of investigative journalism. But this web site is only a means to alert the public. We have not the tools nor the means to spend unpaid hours doing what the mainstream media ought. Now, when it is too late to make any difference Newsweek and the Times have begrudgingly taken notice, but only because their hand was forced by the Federal Elections Committee when it went public with significant fraud they have uncovered in Obama’s small donor base. When Femisex first wrote about the potential for abuse and red flags pointing that way, Obama had collected a record-breaking sum of $265 million despite “having only a 31% approval rating (among white voters) in a Times?CBS poll?” Now Obama has collected a new record breaker--$450 million, despite a near national tie, or with Obama slightly behind until just the last week or so. The math is Fuzzy…hmmm, were have American’s heard the term Fuzzy Math before? Oh yes, by Dubia Bush…the last time American’s were taken to the Bank. Press accounts of uncovered election fraud: Newsweek excerpt “Controversy over Obama’s small donors”: http://www.newsweek.com/id/162403 "Neither name had ever been publicly reported because both individuals made online donations in $10 and $25 increments.” "Doodad Pro" listed no occupation or employer; the contributor's listed address is shared by Lloyd and Lynn's Liquor Store in Nunda. "I have never heard of such an individual," says Diane Beardsley, who works at the store and is the mother of one of the owners. "Nobody at this store has that much money to contribute." (She added that a Doodad's Boutique, located next door, had closed a year ago, before the donations were made.) “ "For example from an article in the LA Times: "Barack Obama is positioned to mount a general election campaign on A SCALE THE NATION HAS NEVER SEEN, fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations. And: Obama's already deep pool of about 1.4 million donors is expected to swell.” This strikes me {Femisex}as odd, considering the polls show Obama and McCain in pretty much a statistical dead heat. And Obama didn’t even win the popular vote in his own primary. SO WHY SO MUCH CASH? This guy is--media luvn’aside-- an average candidate. “ And finally this sad finale from the New York Times, basically admitting they can only do their job if a blog site leads them to it like a dog to a bone. --From the Times story: Update: The New York Times decided to do a bit of reporting on Obama’s donor fraud issues. Note …We say a bit and mean it! The Times claims they did The Times tells us that the 3 dozen they found “represent a tiny fraction” of Obama’s donors. So now The Times says rest assured folks…!! We’ve found the fraudulent donors that a 3rd-grader might find. See its all over folks.. not Big Problem only a thjtrj problem! Femisex says....whoopee Times, good work, ace! In reality what the Times found does “represent a tiny fraction” of the fraud that most likely has occurred. And still…the Times make no mention of how voters can be Fully assured that massive donations have not poured in from overseas, from folks more wily, with better intelligence, and the Will not to be caught so easily by listing their address as &%$$! http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/us/politics/10donate.html?pagewanted=2...

Reports of Obama Fundraising
Reports of Obama Fundraising Fraud
Questions about the manner in which the Obama campaign has raised such large sums of money. Newsweek has also taken notice of the problems with small donors in its article Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting, and has noted that the McCain campaign has made all of its small donor information public while the Obama campaign has refused. Why? The American Spectator in its article Obama's Fishy $200 Million reports that an unnamed auditor for the Federal Elections Commission is being prevented investigating questionable fundraising techniques by the Obama campaign. Obama has already had to deal with several FEC complaints about fraudulent donors and illegal foreign contributions, and the FEC says those complaints have not been resolved. As well, the Obama campaign has been cagey at times about the means by which it has made its historic fundraising hauls, which now total almost $500 million for the election cycle. His opponents during primaries raised questions about the huge amount of e-retail sales the Obama campaign was making for such things as t-shirts and other campaign paraphernalia, and how such sales were being tracked and used for fundraising purposes. While the profits of those items counted against the $2,300 personal donation limit. Ignorned by MSM like CNN & MSNB. FEC analyst says that Obama's filings indicate he has received large, bundled sums of donations from overseas, sometimes exceeding a quarter millions dollars. "It's suspicious, but it's the small donations made by credit card that need to be examined. Obama campaign just ignores it. Until recently, the Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran.Unlike McCain's or Sen. Hillary Clinton's online donation pages, the Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently. Clinton's presidential campaign required U.S. citizens living abroad to actually fax a copy of their passport before a donation would be accepted.With such lax vetting of foreign contributions, the Obama campaign may have indirectly contributed to questionable fundraising by foreigners.
At TD Blog the article Whistleblower Ignored by DOJ, FEC, FBI: $200 Million in Fishy Obama Donations! they are asking readers to contact the authorities and request that they investigate these allegations.

After this election, after we've sifted through everything confident that we are looking at perhaps the largest fine every leveled against a national campaign entity." Foreign contributions are particularly suspect.
