Obama’s donor credit card fraud problem, continued
Bloggers have been doing great work on Barack Obama’s chronic donor credit card fraud problems. See Power Line, Mark Steyn (more), 24Ahead, and Hot Air.
The sinking NYTimes, mirabile dictu, picked up on the story — but spins it away.
Waiting for the Associated Press to divine the “racial tinge” in bloggers’ investigative work and criticism of Obama’s lax policies…

“By any means necessary”
I am surprised they just haven’t said this is just the one practicing for when he is coranated…ah a mean..inagurated as President and he decides to “spread the wealth” around. After all in a Communistic Society would these not be his credit cards as well as ours?
One would think that violating an election law…even minor, would warrant some sort of action by some federal authority.
But then again, evidently…. Questioning “The One” = Racism.
When The One goes down in flames they’ll all be left scratching their heads in wonderment… how could he lose?
No for Mr. Hopey Changey.
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
He ain’t gonna lose. Unfortunately. They will win if they have to shoot all the McCain supporters. Then all that will be left are those rich people who are willing to support the poor folks. See how easy it is?
/off
The markets in free fall. 1 Trillion well spent.
An early start on “spreading the wealth”
around, huh?
Wonder when the electronic transfers from folks’ savings/checking accounts will start.
The bill is coming due and obamas fix is to spend more.
Credit card fraud from a fraudulent Chicago thug? Say it ain’t so!
Add in the untraceability of “gift” credit cards and things get really scary.
You want to know what Obama is like?
List all of the things he has doe or said and apologized for. With the exception of saying his realestate deal with Rezko was “boneheaded” i can’t think of a thing.
For example, today there was an aticle about how he defended his “spread the wealth” comment.
His failure to ever indicate a mistake speaks volumes.
OOOPS doe = done
Sorry, not enough coffeee.
ACE demonstrates that this is happening in Senate races too.
Considering Obama’s entire resume is a fraud, the fact that credit card fraud is a part of it shouldn’t surprise anyone. Especially since he’s a member of the political party that screams “stolen election” loud and long. They seem to know an awful lot about that enterprise.
An Obama administration will be in for one heck of a rude awakening by summer `09, should they actually mislead enough voters into electing them, because between a disapproving constituency - stressed out with high unemployment and skyrocketing inflation - and the absence a triangulation scapegoat on which to blame all of Obama’s mistakes, should the Democrats maintain/increase their leads in both Houses, the MSM will have no choice but to finally scrutinize Obama’s past associations and qualifications to be president.
SSHHH!!! Dont give em any ideas!
Nobody cares about Obama’s past associations. Polling has confirmed that, and election day will prove it conclusively. A huge majority of voters is aware of Ayers and Wright (compared to the media’s complete refusal to question McCain’s “proud friendship” with Gordon Liddy) and his landslide will not be dented one bit by it.
HAHA!!! the jokes on him, I’m apparently and unpatriotic citizen and not doing my civic duty by running up credit and debit I can not afford and begging the .gov for my share of assistance. I canceled all of our credit cards and cut them up 2 years ago, and live cash only now (and have a lot more to show for it to be honest). As for any “patriotic spread the wealth” mystery withdrawals from my checking and savings… well I have NO problem putting my cash in a fire proof safe and sending out cashiers checks if that ever begins to become a problem. Obama and his socialist ways can KMA!
Yet. Wait till they really understand how dangerous they are. The MSM has done nothing to investigate it. YET. But of course by then it will be too late and Obama will be busy driving us into bankruptcy.

Silly question time… why do we have to wait on “the media” to investigate. Do we not have the FBI? Can someone just call them already!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lefties wait on the government for their hand-outs and the people on the right continue to wait for “the media” to do the investigation. They’re not going to do it!!!!! Someone please call the FBI.
What do you expect? That Obama himself bombed Wrigley Field?
I wonder how many ‘donation’ attempts by criminals trying to verify random credit numbers are being rammed through this corrupt donation system set up by Obama?
The ends justify the means.
No they just helped form his political views, religous views, and who he is as a person. Nothing much right? It goes beyond ayers. Way beyond that. His wife is a radical. His political mentor was a radical, and his spritual advisor is a radical. On top of that yes he worked extensively with one domestic terrorist in promoting radical race based educational programs that all failed.
But of course he claimed it never effected him or he simply didn’t notice. RRRRIIIGGGHHHTTT
That’s what you think! If they succeed in getting him elected, the MSM is going go medieval on Obama’s past .
Some in the media will do it in an attempt to recover whatever may remain of their journalistic standards (note Dan Rather’s recent criticisms of how the media have unfairly attacked VP Palin but not Biden), while others will do it to make a name for themselves and get a possible deal with a network/NYT. Speaking of which, you do recall that the Times went after Clinton hot and heavy?
Support him or not, if elected, the MSM will go full bore on The One next summer, when the polls drop and there are no Republicans around to blame for the nation’s worsening economic conditions. There’s just too much there - from Ayers to Wright - for some young, intrepid reporter to not make a name for himself by finally taking Obama to task.
If they are allowed to.
I am not a McCain supporter, but if it would prevent our Country from turning into a socialist dictatorship, they may shoot me. [Of course, I reserve the right to try to defend myself--I'm not going down quietly.] I wouldn’t want to live in their utopia anyway.
Sad but true. That Fairness Doctrine is looking more like “O’s” best chance of keeping hushed secrets hushed.
As tre said,
The end justifies the means.
That’s the heart of it - liberals/leftists/socialists will lie, cheat and steal without any qualms or conscience at all to achieve their goals. There is absolutely NOTHING that they won’t stoop to do to get control.
This has never been more obvious than it is now, at least in this country, with the liberal media nakedly and openly mis-reporting, slanting and just making things up, and with Democrats at all levels doing whatever they can even if it’s illegal, to advance their agenda.
I hope enough people are waking up and paying attention. It’s going to be a rough 4 years either way.
OK you’re talking about things we know (or you infer, since you consider a meet-and-greet and a few board meetings “working extensively”): things that have been pored over ad nauseum in the mainstream media, while Gordon Liddy and John Hagee have gone completely under the radar. For that matter, I would like to see a poll of Americans who have any clue who Charles Keating was.
Regardless, we all know the trail and we don’t care. Obama will be elected because he appears to be a strong, steady and intelligent leader, or at least much moreso than John McCain, and I hope he is one.
Right! I don’t want to live a country that would allow Oprah to choose its president and would consider me and mine second class citizens to the likes of Joy Behar or Bill Ayers -
I don’t see the problem. It’s all their money, anyway. They are better at deciding who should have your money than you are. Be glad they have relieved you of this burden. Your change (spare change?) is on the way.
/sarc off.
Can we see this explained on 60 minutes?
Well let’s take a look at that shall we. You are comparing Liddy to Ayers. It has been tried here and failed miserably. Liddy was convicted of a crime and di his time behind bars for breaking into an office during Watergate, Ayers helped blow people up and stayed out of jail on a legal technicality.
As for Keating, you might want to remember that the DEMOCRAT investigating McCain said that McCain should have been cleared of the scandal completely and that the only reason he was not is that the DEMOCRATS in Congress wnated it to be a bipartisan scandal.
So try again and have a nice day!
I’ve never left a comment here before, so here goes…
My Husband is a Roof Salesman and he gets paid on commission, I work for a non-profit. We’ve both work really hard, put in long hours, to save up money for our adoption. If Barry gets elected and our tax rate increases 191% like everybody’s saying, not only will we not be able to save as much money, but my husband will actually have to work less so we can stay in a lower tax bracket, since we would actually net less by making more. My husband’s company would sell less roofs and make less money. With less roofs sold, there will be less jobs available for the roofers. These guys will then be out of work and unable to provide for their families. And we’d have to put our adoption on hold, and I’m wondering if the adoption tax credit we’re counting on might get taken away….And that’s Redistribution of Wealth????
I haven’t read all of the links and comments, so my apologies if this issue has already been raised:
Poster # 11 has it spot on - The entire point of the Obama scam to unlink names, addresses and zip codes from the usual and customary credit card protection software, is to pour over 75 million dollars of foreign ( Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranian) money onto gift cards which are untraceable since they are bought for cash.
Why does Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran want Obama as President? Biden told us already… the upcoming attacks on Israel, and the the tepid support of the United States. Don’t expect to see transports planes full of ammo being flown to Tel Aviv in support of the IDF…Only Nixon had the brass one’s to do that,… Expect requests for a UN truce, lots of hand wringing and talk, talk, talk… We all may have just witnessed the last Yom Kipper of the Israeli nation.
You are exactly right, it is just the opposite of Reagan’s trickle down economics. I guess we could call it trickle down unemployment.
Election laws aren’t enforced. There is absolutely no reason not to do this. Money spends no matter how you got it, its kind of cool that way. We allow this to happen.
FBI? you mean the same FBI that falsely investigated Scooter Libby? that was afraid of Jamie Gorlick? THAT FBI? don’t hold your breath
In addition to all this, I see that they are now disenfranchising our military once again. Huge numbers of ballots in Virginia from overseas military voters have been disallowed because there was no “witness signature with that witnesses name and address” on them. Oh, and the fact that there was no place on the ballot that asked for that information is apparently irrelevant. WTF?????
No clearly they don’t.
And you base this on WHAT??? He hasn’t lead anything. He has never be questioned aggresively, and never been tested. You hope is right, because there is nothing else.
Without a honest investigative press, none of this information will come to peoples attentions. If katie Couric’s card was hacked, then we would see some outrage.
No big surprise here.
His buddies at ACORN are registering fake voters by submitting fraudulant voter registrations.
His campaign is accepting money from fake donors by recieving fraudulant credit card donations.
Wanna’ bet he’ll be happy to accept fraudulant votes from non-existent (or dead) voters.
Mickey Mouse for Obama!! Crickets chirping from MSM.
So John McCain gets to pal around with a guy who plotted to kill several of Richard Nixon’s enemies, including firebombing the Brookings Institute, just because he’s already done time? The fact that Liddy has been jailed does not do anything to make him less of a vile, radical scumbag who Presidents should be cavorting with. Is it OK to have beers with Charles Manson if he wins release from prison? How about OJ?
In fact, since Liddy got out of jail, he has advised his listeners several times to shoot ATF federal officers!
Not newsworthy? Face it, the MSM dropped the ball on exposing the right wing for being in bed with violent radicals, while drooling over the Ayers controversy.
You’re right to say that Barack Obama has so little leadership experience, but he has shown many great qualities of a great leader to Americans, and that is why he will get his landslide victory. He has never panicked. He is never rattled. Unlike McCain, he doesn’t let day-to-day fire drills change his gameplan, and America sees that and likes it.
In addition, this is leading the free world we’re talking about, and it doesn’t hurt that he has the intellect to lead it. John McCain has believed incorrectly that Sunnis and Shiites had no history of strife before 2003, and that Shiite Iran was training Sunni Al Qaeda, and in the past he has flatly admitted that he doesn’t know jack about the economy. During the bailout negotiations, he never asked one question about what it was all about, never showed a grip on what was actually going on, just treated it as something that might have given him a leg up in the race. And America saw that.
Sarah Palin — where to start! Couldn’t name a single Supreme Court case she disagreed with other than Roe (and answered Couric’s question regarding Roe, “is there an individual right to privacy?” with “yes, the States should decide” !!!) Says it doesn’t matter if global warming is man-made or not, and doesn’t have any clue why people think it is man-made. Bottom line, hasn’t shown any understanding of national issues whatsoever, aside from the talking points she has been fed. She is more transparent than a coke bottle.
Half-truth. After listing many abuses visited on law-abiding citizens by those whom a Democrat, John Dingell, described as “jack-booted thugs,” he advised how you should shoot them if they kicked down your door in the middle of the night.
ECS
Where is the FEC? Are they looking into the O’s apparent campaign donations fraud?
By the way, on the Keating tip, I don’t care what any politician said. The facts speak for themselves: McCain took trips on Keating’s jets, received more than $100,000 from Keating, and still had no trouble pressuring federal regulators not to seize Keating’s S&L — at Keating’s request.
Up and up?
I think you’re throwing stones at the wrong people. That was a special prosecutor, not the FBI. He was convicted for perjury in a grand jury proceeding, nothing the FBI would have been dealing with.
I think you’re in for a real, big, shock.
By the way, on the Keating tip, I don’t care what any politician said. The
And he was cleared, years and years and years ago. If we are going to discuss peoples past, do you know who Obama’s mentor was? He was a hard core marxist. Maybe thats why he is proud to say he is going to “spread the wealth”. Thats marxism.
And someone has filed suit to “freeze” the Obama donor accounts until the veracity of the donor information can be proved, right? Is money laundering no longer a provable crime?
What’s with all the excusable “oversights” by members of the Democrat Party? Charles Rangel? Chris Dodd? Wexler of Florida? Why don’t we just call this what it is? Greedy liberal polticians doing what they ALWAYS accuse conservatives of doing! Talk about “projection!”
The fact that Obama’s campaign has not used the above “facts” as talking points means they are not provable. Links please!! You really can’t just put out a bunch of stuff and not provide any proof. For some strange reason, I don’t choose to blindly believe you, as you do have a slight propensity for exaggeration.
If he even bothers, he’ll just link a bunch of leftist blogs. As with the Palin baby and every other “scandal” they’ve brought up, it all comes back to some idiot blogger’s imagination.
If somebody said that about McCain, you’d say he’s inflexible and lacking imagination. In Obama’s case, it’s true. He is a movement Marxist/Leninist with more than a hint of Stalinist, and is completely unswayed by any contradictory evidence.
His associations with Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Alinsky, et al, are not in and of themselves the point. What he took away from those associations is. As has been pointed out elsewhere, these people didn’t come seeking Obama. According to his own book, he went looking for them. In other words, he was a radical in the making before he began associating with them, and he completely absorbed (and has been applying) their radical views, theories, and methods.
Or, as Rush puts it, “trickle up poverty.”
If you’re so sure of this, then why don’t you put your money where your mouth is.
Stay home and don’t vote.
Correct. He displays traits that make him anything but a good leader. Consider his conduct in regards to the Surge. He is still convinced the Surge was a failure. He never looked into history and saw that The Surge was nothing more than a current version of the Strategic Villiages program the US Marines used from 1967 - 1972 with FANTASTIC results in Vietnam.
What if President Bush had displayed Obama’s leadership traits? He would have remained “steadfast” and kept the same strategy. We would still be losing 100+ dead a month and Iraq would be near lost, if not lost already. besides his Marxist and frankly racists views, he has an ego problem, big time, which puts him at times in a state of total self-denial.
Obama’s leadership style is passive. “If they have need of me they can call me.” That’s not leadership.
He is, however, consistent. I heard tapes of him today from 1995. SCARY views, which still manifest themselves in his speeches and comments like the Joe the Plumber encounter.
txvet
you are correct, I researched and corroborated what you said… but I still do not have faith in the FBI…… call it 40 years of observation. I was 10 when my fascination with the FBI began… I knew J. Edgar was a nut job then…..lol
Obama is just trying to eliminate those nasty things that divide us, like property rights:
“Su casa es me casa and su visa es me visa.”

In all seriousness, I have never seen a Democratic candidate who has caused more division within his own party.
PUMA Democrats are very real, and in an honest election Obama would be lucky to match the 43% of the popular vote that Bill Clinton received in 1992.
Of course, Obama’s supporters are committing MASSIVE fraud, so we must pray for all corruption, regardless of party, to be exposed, prosecuted, convicted, and prevented.
Stop the fraud. Don’t let Obama or anyone else steal an election.
Go ahead and talk about McCain corruption. If it’s true, which I personally suspect it is, prosecute him. I’d like to see Sarah Palin be President.
yessir

The fact that you are completely unaware of this, but obsess over Bill Ayers, proves that the right is not at all interested in truth, or the substance of any of these allegations, but just finding a reason to bring down a powerful enemy. It won’t work.
The fact that Obama’s campaign has not use Liddy’s past against him means they have better things to talk about than associations. And it’s working.

For some reason, it’s not letting me post links from his book, but do a google search of his autobiography “Will,” and read pages 169, 171 and 208.
That’s nice and all, but what does it have to do with Obama committing credit card fraud?
Barack ain’t winning my state, but I will make sure my vote for magistrate judge is counted.
If the Obama website starts putting in more security features when accepting donations, it disenfranchises voters—uh, waitasec, I’m thinking of something else. The mindset is similar, though.
‘Cuz security features…prevent…voters…from, uh…from…
Ah, forget the niceties. They’ve got the security features disabled so that they can get money from every source available, whether it’s legal or not. Senator, you’re ultimately responsible for allowing this to continue. Stop it.
ARE DEVICIVE AND……RACIST!!!
So, Red State Skeptic decides to threadjack in order to protect his messiah.
My goodness. Barack Obama polls to get about half of the country voting for him. The other half is not voting for him. That means that there are a lot of people who do not want Obama for President. Millions!
He has no mandate. Plus, polls are worthless. They are propaganda tools used by Liberal Democrats to sway peoples opinion.
Ask the man on the street, they can name you the American Idol Contestants but can’t name the Vice President or Secretary of State.
These people don’t even vote. Thats why Obama needs the voter fraud, why he needs the early voting so people can vote more than once, why he needs felons to vote, dead people to vote, illegals to vote. He recognizes that the people are not really behind him.
He & Democrats have justified that they must win at any cost, by any means necessary including, lying, cheating, stealing, intimidating, maybe even murder (See W Ayers bombs Police Station).
They love this country so much they must destroy it & rebuild it the way they want it. Millions of people are on to him. Millions are with him. The media is controlled by his peeps. They are flexing their muscles.
Lets vote. We will get the government we deserve.
I totally agree. Israel is probably the only true democracy in the world, that is why your average Israeli citizen, including Arab Israelis, live better than the majority of the people in their oil rich neighbors. I don’t want anyone to claim that it is because we give them so much money, we give Palestine a lot of money too and they still live in squalor. Obama, i think, wants that destroyed due to his Marxist leanings.
I don’t know though, I went to a movie and dinner with a group last weekend, one was a rabbi. I told her during dinner that I was worried about Israel and she said because of Iran? I said more so if the democrats take control of congress plus presidency, Israel is going to lose our support. She kinda waved her hand like I did not know what I was talking about. Not just Americans getting the government they deserve by turning hard to the left, but the Jewish population may see another genocide run in Israel because of their own ignorance.
With the outrageous behavior of the MSM, I find it equally egregious that right wing blog sites like MM and Hot Air are blowing attribution!
Powerline and Ace DID NOT break the story about fraudulent credit card charges. All one needs to do to discover this is click thru at Ace. Damn, bad move Hot Air and Powerline and Michelle.
And really…doesn’t it make sense that ‘Atlas Shrugs’ is reporting on JOHN GALT living on AYN RAND? Come on gang…let’s stick together.
Who is John Galt?
The interesting thing about the Propaganda Media is that they are suffering. Thats why Fox News kicks their Cable news hineys in the ratings.
When people have a choice, they prefer real news not propaganda masquerading as news.
The real problem is the rabbit ears stations ABC, NBC, CBS. They have a lock on inner City poor people who can’t afford cable. These people are exposed to daily doses of indoctrination. They are brainwashed.
Liberals know this. They also know that schools are another place to indoctrinate. That is why they flocked there and established a foothold. That is why Ayers went there, Dorhn, etc.
They know that perception is better than reality when trying to win an elections. Inflating campaign contribution reports makes people think, hey this guy is good, I should help him out like everyone else. Also, Obama can claim these small contributions from millions of average Americans and not big evil corporations and lobbyists even if he never collects the money.
It’s all perception. Once he wins, he knows he will make millions like Clinton did and pay everybody off. Besides, he’ll have a $25,000 per plate dinner to pay off all the debt from contributions spent to win but never collected. Where will it all come from? The taxpayer. The rich evil white taxpayer who doesn’t play “fair” as defined by Obama and his sychophants.
Speaking of the Jewish vote, I am at a loss to figure out why any Jew would vote for Obama. He is quoted as saying he would side with muslims if it came to that. He will not be a friend to Israel…there is no way! He attended a black supremicist, anti-semetic church for 20 years. How can the Jewish people in the country trust this guy? It is unbelievable.
I tried to explain this to a friend (ex-friend?) who is an ex-Republican also. I tried to explain this fraud. Here is his reply:
“Do you have a reputable source? (A heavily biased blog with no internal fact-checking kind of lacks in the reliability department.)
Yes, it appears that the Obama website, when accepting donations, will accept bogus information. However, doing a little fact-checking of my own, I made my donation on the 22nd. It didn’t get processed until the 23rd.
Running credit-card processing in “batches” is a very common practice for sites. It’s during the batch processing that verification conflicts, bogus card numbers, and so on are kicked out. Stores that do this usually email or phone in order to straighten things out before sending the product. Political sites—particularly in this divisive environment—just discard the bogus entries and move on, because there is no merchandise to send.
In short: No. The claim is not only insultingly bogus, it’s ridiculous on the face of it.”
That question is the most confounding puzzle in the past 50 years of the American politics. I ask DOZENS of Jews if their is any one FACT about Obama that would change their vote - and the only answer I get is if Obama wore a swastika and spoke German.
I tell them Hitler was a national SOCIALIST and they look at me like I’m from Mars. Rational, smart, rabbis tell me that Obama would never cross Israel and the Jews because HE needs them for 2012. I shake my head in public and go home to cry, mourning the probable loss of two great nations.
I’m off to the Cal vs, UCLA. game…GO BEARS!
Where is our Justice Dept.?
If the law is being broken and fraud is being committed why is this allowed?
Is this America? Not my America?
