#4 At the risk of sinktrap or worse, let me say.

The poor, worthless, communist, racist, Kenyan emposter bastard and his hateful Chicago breed sow are way out of their league! I hope they do not trash the residence when they depart.

#5 "contributions from over seas" have a long history. Unions, elections, and political movements. George Soros would be a major bundler in my opinion. Funding internal conflict has been around a long time. Just my idea on how some of these outfits stay around or get partial media treatment. Obama is just too obvious.

#6 I am quite sure this will require a jaunt to cote d'azul by the executively privilaged first lady.

Tut tut, four and a half millis, well it is only the green fees, I am quite certain Uncle Oh has transmitted this information.

And to be fair, Teh Won has also marked my veterinarian and suggested quite humbly that perhaps instead of purchasing doggy treats, I donate three quid to the Mr. Obama slush fund.

#8 There is nothing wrong with soliciting donations from American citizens, wherever they might be... so long as it's only the Americans. The issue is that this president's team has been willing to play fast and lose with the rules in the past, and we had stories here at Rantburg last time round about confirmation mechanisms deliberately disabled, coupled with boasts from eg. the Palestinian Territories of bundled donations from not only non-citizens, but non-citizens who believed they were thusly purchasing an outcome. On the other hand, that particular bunch did not get what they paid for, so they may have joined the many other former donors who've reportedly closed their checkbooks. And with the campaign burn rate reported as considerably higher than is traditional, not to mention considerably higher than President Obama's opponent's, I have to wonder how much George Soros is going to have to fork over personally, just to ensure they don't run out before November.

#11

"Just this week, we learned that one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations. So groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections. And they won't tell you where the money (for) their ads comes from."

President Obama - Oct. 7, 2010

So the narrative progresses. SuperPacs are bad. But the other guys are have 'em. And as much as we don't want to - we have to start our own otherwise we're at a huge disadvantage. Foriegn money in elections is bad. It's probably from corporations that want to outsource jobs. But foriegn money for us is fine because we will promise to disclose our donors.

Well, I for one would like to see him try it. Come January the 20th, Chief Justice Roberts will be swearing in President Romney (I hope).

After that, if Obama refuses to vacate the WH, he can be forcibly removed by the Military or the U.S. Marshals. That would be sweet sweet joy.
