    Default you gotta ask yourself who is financing Obama's campaign ...

    ... if for no other reason than to be aware of who is attempting to influence him later ...



    Basically, by turning down 'public' campaign funds, Obama has bypassed federal campaign spending limits. To date he has raised some $600 million in campaign donations ... many of which raise questions. For example, besides the well publicized Freddie and Fannie donations, there is also a potential $63 million in supposedly illegal offshore donations (which have been tracked because a foreign currency exchange was involved). While it is certain that NO investigation is likely to follow, there would appear to be a legitimate question as to who is donating these offshore funds to Obama's campaign, and why !

    I donated $25 through his website and bought two $20 t-shirts on his site. I'm sure that helped...

    I'm sure that if this were indeed a "legitimate" question, it would be looked into by the proper authorities instead of raised as a groundless speculation by a smear-happy peanut gallery.

    ^^^ much would seem to depend on WHO the alleged wrongdoer is !!! As I posted earlier, some politicians wind up in court while other politicians wind up getting a 'pass'. But the offshore donations ARE a matter of public record !

    schadenfreude -- the feeling I get when watching Melonie's increasingly desperate and pathetic responses to watching her Republicans crash and burn.

    Indeed it would, led by the most conservative Republicans, likely those remaining ones who torpedoed the Clinton administration after his minor impropriety (relatively speaking).

    Some people (those and others) are so desperate to demonstrate their 'enemy' is bad that they will sacrifice the greater good for their follies. The greater good being some of the Clinton era missteps in the terrorist world, IMO.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    hey, I'm rooting for Obama too !!! Electing Obama plus filibuster proof majorities in both houses of congress is the only way that America will be able to vote for a conservative backlash in 2012 !

    As far as my political issue related posts go, I'm picking these up from legitimate news media. $63 million dollars of Obama's campaign donations (to date) have originated from offshore sources - that is a documented fact. What is NOT known is the specific origin of these offshore campaign funds, nor what sort of quid pro quo the foreign contributors will expect from Obama later.

    If you consider newsmax, wordnutdaily, shaun hannity and Jerome Corsi as legitimate and credible news sources , I would love to see what your list of shady new sources is unless ofcourse it the liberal mainstream media.

    You may have read this already. Medved in this opinion piece suggests that even if Obama serves only one term, the potential changes enacted during his presidency could become embedded and resistant to a backlash in 2012 .

    ^^^ are you saying that the Federal Elections Commission isn't a reputable news source for campaign finance numbers ?

    And yes I have seen Medved's editorial and many others like it which make the case that a single Obama term could bring permanent structural economic changes much like FDR and LBJ. Unfortunately, there isn't any practical method of convincing American voters of the unintended consequences of socialistic economic programs until after they are enacted and the results can clearly be seen by all.

    Just like how the disgraceful decline of the Bush administration and the right has prompted the current liberal backlash?

    That would be me who is financing Obama's campaign. I hope I can bend his ear once he is in office.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
