Barack Obama is Accepting Untraceable Donations

 Barack Obama’s campaign is accepting donations that are untraceable, this means that people can donate more than the legal limit and nobody would be any wiser.

Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor’s identity, campaign officials confirmed.

Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.

 Show me the money, that is Barack Obama’s slogan and apparently he doesn’t care where it comes from or if the money is being legally donated to him. Obama’s campaign has assured us that it has returned any all improper donations but how are we, or they, supposed to know they have if the donations are untraceable?

 And Obama’s campaign has accepted donations from people using fake names.

In recent weeks, questionable contributions have created headaches for Obama’s accounting team as it has tried to explain why campaign finance filings have included itemized donations from individuals using fake names, such as Es Esh or Doodad Pro.

 Republicans question Barack Obama’s methods.

“They have opened the floodgates to all this money coming in,” said Sean Cairncross, chief counsel to the Republican National Committee. “I think they’ve made the determination that whatever money they have to refund on the back end doesn’t outweigh the benefit of taking all this money upfront.”

 The Obama strategy appears to be to take in all the money they can and then they can return only the money that they get caught taking in illegally. That still leaves them with a gain higher than if they just accepted legal donations.

 Barack Obama has no scruples, he will do whatever it takes for him to become president. Including taking in illegal money for his campaign. And the media remains in his back pocket, either because they want him elected of they are afraid of retribution after he is elected.

 This man does not have the judgement, the integrity, or the honesty to be president.
