Is Barack Obama receiving illegal foreign campaign donations?

October 8, 2012

 It is now being reported that Barack Obama may be receiving illegal campaign donations from overseas.

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has been soliciting foreigners for donations, an explosive report from the conservative Government Accountability Institute (GAI) shows.

Those foreign donors are allegedly visiting the Obama campaign’s donation solicitation Web pages through a social media website the campaign controls, and through an outside website that serves mostly Internet users from outside the United States.

About 20 percent of visitors to the “my.barackobama.com” social media website “originated from foreign locations,” the report found. That Web address is owned and controlled by the Obama re-election campaign.

  If this is true it is very interesting considering that during his infamous State of the Union Address Barack Obama railed against the Supreme Court’s ruling on Citizens United claiming:

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign companies — to spend without limit in our elections,” Obama said tonight. “Well, I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong

  Apparently Barack Obama wanted all that illegal foreign money for himself. At this point this is only an accusation, we don’t know if the charges are true. But there is one thing that Harry Reid taught us when he accused Mitt Romney of not paying taxes for ten years, it doesn’t matter if there is any proof.  The charges have been levied against Barack Obama; it isn’t up to the GAI to prove the accusations are true, it is up to Barack Obama to prove they are not. Guilty until proven innocent, right Harry?

    It sounds only fair, Steve. Now, let’s sit back and wait for the explanations (excuses), we know they will be coming. It brings to mind one of my favorite movies of all times, Blues Brothers…in it John Belushi (Jake) and Dan Aykroyd (Elwood) are confronted by Jakes old girlfriend, the Mystery Woman, (Carrie Fisher), as she is firing at them in the sewer get-away, the excuses are pouring out of Jakes mouth as to why he had never called,,,bottom line “it was not his fault”…I associate that with Obama.

      A great comparison Lou, no matter what happens it is never Obama’d fault. He has an excuse for everything, but when the news is good we know he will take full credit for it.

    According to the leftardsm accepting foreign donations is only wrong if a Republican does it.

      It should be a big one, but wasn’t there questions about Obama’s donors in 2008 as well? Something tells me this will go away.

    I’ve been seeing bits and pieces about this story around the Internet. If this is true, it should be devastating to the Obama campaign and their promises of transparency and honest government. I can’t wait to hear the excuses they’ll use for this.

      I’m sure they already have their excuses ready and nobody in the MSM will question them.

      If the MSM had the BALLS to jump on this, Obama would likely shrug and tell you, “Just TRY and prosecute me”… The guy thinks he is above it ALL…

        True Fred, we have already seen him ignore court orders so why would we expect him to follow the law if he was called out on it?

    Remember, these questions came up in 2008 and Barry got away with it then. We’ll see what happens this late in the game.

    He pulled this crap back in 2008 and was called out on it. So his team fixed the website but the damage was already done. What arrogance and total disregard for the law for him to pull this crap again. He should be required to return all donations acquired in this manner. We cannot have foreign nations influencing our elections.

      Yeah, it doesn’t bother him that he got caught four years ago, and it apparently doesn’t bother him that this is illegal or he wouldn’t have done it again. I agree, he should return all the money but I think we know nobody will call him out on this.

      Return the donations, but he also needs to suffer the consequences? I mean, there has to be consequences right? OR, that is only if he was from a “different” party.

        Well, there should be consequences but there were none in 2008 and I would be shocked if there were this time.

    Our Sunday left us walking around dazed by the information fed to us and we could not understand why or who was Susan Rice feeding us that junk. Why did Hilary even speak before the President did?
