Yes, He Can
Barack Obama should be able to disclose his small-dollar donors pretty easily.
By John Dickerson and Chris Wilson
On Slate, no less!!! (http://www.slate.com/id/2203421/)
Barack Obama refuses to release the names of the 2 million-plus people who have given his campaign less than $200. According to campaign officials, it would be too difficult and time-consuming to extract this information from its database.
So how come we were able to do it in a couple hours? Not literally—we don't have access to the campaign's list of donors—but we created a database of similar size and format in a Web-ready file and posted it online...
Even the media is starting to wonder where all that money is coming from...

too difficult and time consuming ?
gimme a ****ing break....

What they actually meant was "Too incriminating."

This is the same mistake that Sarah Palin made by going after the media - the so called 4th estate fancies themselves kingmakers and as of late the Obamessiah has been of the impression that he is better than them -- Between the biden interview bannings and booting reporters under the plane (I guess there really is no more room under the bus) the media is gently reminding him how he got where he is.

While I take your point, The 4th Estate is going the way of the dodo by failing to follow its own rules.
that being said, the media would not turn on BHO if they were concerned about him losing. they can go piranha because they know he will lose.
