Is the Obama Campaign Being Financed by Foreign Donations?
By Eliana Johnson
October 8, 2012 9:16 A.M.
Peter Schweizer’s Government Accountability Institute is out with a report today on foreign and fraudulent campaign contributions. It is the most comprehensive treatment of the issue to date. The key findings relate to the Obama campaign:
The Obama campaign lacks the “industry standard level†of credit card security for donations
The website Obama.com was purchased by an Obama bundler based in Shanghai, China, with questionable ties to state-run enterprises
68% of the traffic to Obama.com is foreign, and the site was linked to a specific donation page on the official BarackObama.com campaign website for ten months

I Donated to Barack Obama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 8th, 2012 at 05:11 PM | 59
RESIZE: AAA
The President has come under fire for the shoddy verification processing his campaign does for donations.
In light of this Newsweek story about the Illegal-Donor loophole with Team ObamaA while back, among conservatives, it was even a story that he was doing this shoddy credit card verification for overseas donors.
So, after talking with some lawyers about the process, etc. I donated to Barack Obama. Sort of.
It is rare that I do something where I feel the need to talk to lawyers first. But giving money to Barack Obama was one of those times.
I didn’t actually do it. I made up a name, made up a passport number, made up an address in Russia — hell I made everything up except my credit card number and expiration date.
Got that?
Everything was bull**** except the actual credit card number and expiration date. Everything.
Go try that with Target or Amazon or Apple or Mitt Romney’s campaign and see what happens. Here’s a hint: it’d get rejected.
When the zip code does not match, it would get rejected.
When the name on the card does not match, it will probably get rejected.
When nothing matches, it will get rejected.
Barack Obama’s campaign processed my very generous $5.00 donation.
