You won't believe what is going on. No wonder O'Bwana went against his word when he told everyone that he'd use federal election funding.
WTF is wrong with this picture? 
O'Bwana's illegal campaign money...
LOTS of foreign money....

With him receiving so much foreign money, it makes me wonder if he is a "sleeper".
Something just dont add up right with him. All these questionable people helping his career all these years, foreign money. Then getting bullshit answers from him when ask. I just dont trust the man.I do not feel America is who he is patriot to. I would rather have Scooby Doo as president.

I dont blame Michelle for being supportive of her husband, but I think maybe she is just a tool in a terrorist plot. You know, move to America, marry an American women,have kids, go to church(which is anti American)join politics, become present then destroy America.

Arieann...this has more to do with why O'Bwana is allowing his campaign to use highly illegal campaifgn donations. The only time that the campaign gives the money back is if someone on the outside identifies specific amounts from one individual. It doesn't seem that the O'Bwana campagn is being very cooperative at all.
Do the math on the number of people giving donations and the number is staggering...unprecedented...in fact it is WHOLLY UNBLELIEVABLE. 
That is the point...
There needs to be a federal investigation and some folks need to go to prison for illegally trying to buy this election...it was the very kind of thing that McCain had gotten legislation passed for. McCain stood on his principles...somebody else decided to "play the game" and has taken it to a new level of corruption.

I'm not quite sure how they make the leap that because the candidate is repeaping smaller donations, that they are all coming from abroad.
According to Open Secrets, which provides campaign donation data from the FEC, the Obama campaign has provided names and addresses for 92.4% of all its campaign donors. Given as the article in the OP mentioned, Senator Obama has received a large number of donations smaller than the legal reporting threshhold of $200, over 50% of all of his donations, that he has disclosed names and addresses past the 90% level is excellent.
John McCain by comparison has disclosed names and addresses on 85.8% of all donors. For McCain, a little over 32% of his donors made contributions of under the $200 threshhold, so Senator McCain should have a higher disclosure percentage, which he clearly does not.

McCain doesn't get the donations...they go directly to the RNC. That is how federal rules work when you declare to use federal campaign dollars. Of course, you knew this
O'Bwana on the other hand has many questions that need answering. Where is all of this overseas money coming from...and why does the O'Bwana campaign not check these illegal domestic donors until taken to task on them?

Your notion that if a candidate receives presidential election public funding they do not or cannot receive direct contributions is simply wrong. When a candidate agrees to take public funding, both the candidate and his party agree to a limit on expenditures as well as additional reporting documents and agreeing to an extensive audit if warranted. That does not mean that they cannot receive contributions directly, indeed it is upto the candidate to submit a listing of contributions under the $200 threshhold to qualify for matching dollars each month.
Here's a link to the FEC's brochure on federal funding.
The filing deadline for the September report was just the other day. Contribution and expense reports from the campaigns in September should be published any day now.

Exactly.
However, the McCain campaign does not get those funds directly. They are allocated by the party HQ.
O'Bwana on the other hand has zero restrictions or limitations on dollar volume. That said...
Where are all of the illegal funds and foreign funds coming from, why are they accepting them and why doesn't the O'Bwana campaign investigate these unbelievable amounts of donors...and I mean unbelievable.

Once again, that is incorrect. In order to apply for matching funds to be released, the campaign must bundle individual donations and request that those donations may receive eligible funds. This does not mean that the campaign cannot receive donations directly. It can, it does and it must report them.

It must give them to the party HQ 
However...it is hardly the point of this thread. Let's not dilute the thread as seems to be the normal intent around here

NO! The McCain campaign is not required to turn over its campaign contributions to the RNC. You are incorrect. It turns over a listing of contributors eligible for the match to the FEC. The RNC must provide documentation to the FEC for any expenses it makes on behalf of the presidential candidate. There is no pooled money. Stop with this nonsense.

You have consistently misrepresented Senator Obama's and Senator McCain's campaign financing.
Senator Obama has documented over 90% of his contributors. He didn't have to; over 50% of his contributions came in amounts smaller than the federal threshhold.
As to the speculation that Senator Obama has a steady stream of contributions from foreign nationals, this is not true. It has been well documented that a handful of contributions came in from non-US citizens and those contributions were returned. It appeared that a glitch in the software, since rectified, allowed the contributions to be accepted before they were returned.
The conservative blog-o-sphere is clogged with speculative stories about massive foreign donations to the Obama campaign, none of which have survived the scrutiny of a real investigation. The FEC website shows no investigations nor fines assessed to the Obama camp for campaign finance violations.

Obviously untrue. It is beyond all possible refute. Yet, you persist...

You have no proof of this, save a poorly written article from NewsMax. Go to an original source, like the Federal Elections Commission's own webpage. The FEC lists all of its on-going investigations, the candidate's reports, reports of PAC contributions, etc. There is no merit to the NewsMax article.

It is beyond all possible refute. You know, every time you post that something is "beyond all possible refute," it not only isn't, but is usually easily refutable. Are you certain you know what the word means?

Sure do.
O'Bwana is a dirty, slimey Chicago politician...and the truth about his donations will eventually come to light. I am fairly confident that some folks will have their day in front of a judge over what is just being brought to light
