For 15 years, I have developed secure card processing software for a major shopping cart processor. Since we offer a free secure shopping cart, we have a lot of experience with new and inexperienced merchants processing credit cards for the first time. I can tell you this: it’s not a case of ignorance or naïveté, especially since this credit card security issue has been so widely discussed online, and we have many proofs that this administration is highly aware of critical discussions taking place in the blogosphere.

Doing what we’ve observed does not require a special arrangement or a conspiracy with the credit card companies: any tiny merchant on the internet could do the same, even with Paypal. After 60 or 90 days, the credit card company would want to have a ‘serious’ conversation with you, but all you would have to do is promise remedial action and you can continue merrily on your way without getting serious about remediation.

The more serious issue is compliance with FEC regulations and federal campaign law – it’s very obvious that the campaign was actively trying to solicit foreign contributions (illegal) when you visit pages like: my.barackobama.com/page/group/LesParisiensavecleSenateurOBAMA where the activist controls on the site even report to everyone how much foreign activist fundraising has taken place in the Paris group. Since most of the page is in French, I seriously doubt that all of the $39,000+ was raised by citizen expatriates in Paris. The common billing address check and a simple SQL query would have prevented so many foreign contributions.

My exit question is this: if this activity is what we observed prior to the election, if this candidate was so careless with common checks that most merchants use, what kind of care and diligence can we expect when this guy has his hands on the US budget?

NOT SURE OF THIS SITE STORY SOUNDS CLOSE -YOU DECIDE

And do it in the context of a speech (mention ayers) that later leads to chants of “USA!” and is delivered with a backdrop of supporters dressed in red, white and blue. It’s not subtle, and voters ought to reject these campaign smears.

1) Frank Marshal Davis (a bisexual communist) lived in Kansas.
2) Obama family came from Kansas
3)Frank Davis moved to Hawaii
4) Obama family moved to Hawaii
5) In Hawaii the two families knew each other.
6) FMD had an intimate friend, a gay man named Richard Wright. (a communist)who lived in Chicago.
7)Eventually Obama moved to Chicago
He went to a church run by Jeremiah Wright.
9) The communist party in Illinois wrote on their blog that Wright had been crucified over his racist remarks.

Note: Obama father in Kenya was communistic. In my opinion extreme Islam is going to be the new communism. There are many Muslims in the Chicago and other surrounding states. Strange that the Arabic word for refuge is Mafia….. Is the Mafia still alive in America?

Does any of that mean anything? I dunno but all roads lead to Chicago.

There has got to be a better person to elect for this job. We have the power to fix these problems - STOP ELECTING THESE FOOLS!

Predatory Lenders’ Partner in Crime
How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers
By Eliot Spitzer
Thursday, February 14, 2008; Page A25

Several years ago, state attorneys general and others involved in consumer protection began to notice a marked increase in a range of predatory lending practices by mortgage lenders. Some were misrepresenting the terms of loans, making loans without regard to consumers’ ability to repay, making loans with deceptive “teaser” rates that later ballooned astronomically, packing loans with undisclosed charges and fees, or even paying illegal kickbacks. These and other practices, we noticed, were having a devastating effect on home buyers. In addition, the widespread nature of these practices, if left unchecked, threatened our financial markets.

State Lawmakers Object to Exemption of National Banks From Consumer Protections

Congress urged to direct OCC to withdraw rules, hold hearings
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Conference of State Legislatures objects to two new rules implemented today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to exempt national banks and their diverse range of operating subsidiaries from state consumer protection laws and enforcement actions.
“State lawmakers are dismayed that a federal regulator without a single congressional hearing would unilaterally rewrite federal law to preempt state authority and concentrate power with himself,” said State Representative Donna Stone, who chairs the House Economic Development, Banking and Insurance Committee in Delaware and serves as chair of the NCSL Financial Services Committee. “The OCC action sweeps away virtually all state consumer protections and leaves banking consumers across the country vulnerable to deceptive trade practices.”
