My Contributions To The Obama Campaign Under Fictitious Names

for cryin’ out loud, what does Obama have to do to warrant attention and investigation?? That’s all I want to know. Now we know where he has been getting his millions. No doubt much of it has been from foreign countries. I have never paid for anything online where it didn’t verify all of my information. This is a felony I’m sure.

NQ ooops- I am posting without submitting…

My original post:

Thanks Uppity with gratitude and apprecaition for Craig.

Question: what penalites or repercussions whould any other person / entity be subject to if they disabled their verification tools from their applications to accept money.

Does any one know if this illegal and if so, to what degree.

Just to remind you all, this piece is really Craig’s. I simply compiled his story into this article. He deserves all the credit. I was just an editor.

Now, it will be Ground Hog day again. Obama will say this is nothing but a distraction, keeping him from discussing the economy–which he never seems to get past the high level talking points on. Then his surrogates will go on CNN and MSNBC and change the subject to “We are cutting taxes for 95% of Americans and nobody wants to hear this”. In the meantime, God knows where the preponderance of Obama’s money REALLY came from.

America has been sold by Leland Gaunt, folks.

Uppity, nothing is going to be done. I am sure if we look closer at the 2004 election, the same thing was happening. Nobody cares about this great country anymore except a handful of us. They were always saying that Kerry had this much and this much too. The best news yesterday was the denied of Berg’s lawsuit. Why is it good? Because Obama made sure that everybody in the nation knew his feelings about Clarence Thomas. That Clarence Thomas was not fit to be in the supreme robe. Well….now Berg is going to the same supreme court that Thomas reside in. Isn’t that something? Now, let us see Obama pays off these conservative guys. Nope….the birth certificate will be required and Obama, even if he wins, will have to step down when the ruling comes in. Biden will then be the next President and who knows who he will pick. But, if G-d is listening to our prayers, Mccain and Palin will be our next leaders, and Obama will be in front of congress explaining why he tried to cheat the people with his phoney birth certificate.

I wonder how many of those fraudulent contributions have been for under 100 dollars that they’ve got to keep? We just had this happen to us. All charges were just under 100 dollars and there were several.

We went to the bank and both my husband and I wanted an investigation and wanted to press charges against whoever did it. They infomed us that it costs them more to investigate those charges then it does to just cover them and turn it over to the insurance.

I said so basically our tax money will go to covering these charges we didn’t make, and the people will just go do this to someone else? She said in a roundabout way yes.

I said so the companies that accepted these bogus charges get to keep the money because it’s less than 100 dollars and costs too much to investigate. We get our money back, however we basically pay for it anyway because it comes out of our taxes to pay for this through the FDIC? Unbelievable.

So how much do you think Obama is getting like that, that we’re actually paying for?

So the real question here is “how many Gaddaffis, Odingas, Hamas and Gaza residents, Saudis, and who knows who else funneled money into Obama’s campaign?”

So this is not just a question of skirting around the limit of $2300 per contributor domestically but also hiding the real questionable source of those moneys. They also made it look like it was all grassroots. I really hate the stupid people who have fell for this scam and fraud.

America—-> Bought & paid for by Obama.

I wonder how much money he is stashing away for himself? A few million here… a few million there.

On the credit card charge subject, I too have an internet business that is credit card driven. I too have to have a match on the name and address. If they do not match the address given by the purchaser the charge is declined. It is called an AVS mismatch (Address Verification Service).

The processor could remove this step, which is in place to eliminate fraud, by simply accepting the charge.

Another interesting slant to this story would be the fees charged by the processor to collect the charges. I can only imagine the amount of the fees for Obama’s contributions. Even if the fee is only 1% we are talking serious collection fees. That fact got me thinking about a story I read earlier when I was looking into the background of Obama. It’s about ties to Broadway Bank in Chicago and the man who runs it. I would not be surprised if they are not the bank processing the “donations”.

Is Alexi Giannoulias Obama’s next “not the man I knew”?

By: Ross Kaminsky
8/26/2008 – 9:21am

Last night, Illinois’ State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias addressed the DNC, talking about his “friend and mentor”, Barack Obama, and calling for “a new type of leadership.” Giannoulias said that Obama has great integrity, yet the association between the two men raises questions along the lines of (and related to) convicted felon Tony Rezko.

Obama and Giannoulias have been mutual supporters, politically and otherwise, for at least five years, with Giannoulias having contributed $7,000 to Obama’s campaign for the Illinois State Senate seat in 2003 and 2004, an interesting choice for a man who was simultaneously giving $17,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Giannoulias, who was called Obama’s “protégé” in a Chicago-based publication, has also served as the National Chairman of Greeks for Obama Committee. The organization’s Vice Chairman, Michael Karloutsos, also has a history of supporting Republicans, including a donation to Rick Santorum and Bush-Cheney ’04. He was also a Pioneer for President George W. Bush, meaning he raised at least $200,000 for the Bush-Cheney ’04 ticket. In the past year, he switched his party affiliation “from R to D”.

Giannoulias also hosted a fund-raiser for Obama in Chicago in September, 2007, omitting it from his public schedule and keeping it closed to the press. Could it be that Obama didn’t want the press asking questions about a New York Post article published that same morning entitled “Obama’s Mob-Tie $idekick”?

The NY Post story references the many questions about Giannoulias’ ties to organized crime through Broadway Bank, a Chicago bank that his family owns and where Alexi Giannoulias listed himself both as President and as Chairman of the Board on FEC filings surrounding the campaign contributions mentioned above.

According to a Chicago Tribune article from 2006, Giannoulias “has faced questions about the bank’s multi-million dollar loans to Michael Gioranago, a convicted bookmaker and prostitution ring promoter.” Barack Obama was quoted in the article as saying that he “is concerned by revelations that the bank owned by Illinois Democratic treasurer nominee Alexi Giannoulias’ family gave loans to a Chicago crime figure and said the candidate owes him and the public a full accounting.”

And while Giannoulias claimed that the loans to Gioranago were made “before he became a full-time bank employee”, “newly discovered public records show Broadway Bank made $11.8 million in additional mortgage loans to Giorango just last year. Giannoulias said he oversaw the servicing of those loans.”

Giannoulias also appears to have lied about the bank’s financing of a casino boat marina. And in what may or may not be an ugly coincidence, convicted felon Tony Rezko racked up $450,000 in gambling debts by writing bad checks on his Broadway Bank account. According to Crain’s Chicago Business, “Obama kept his 2004 Senate campaign funds” at Broadway Bank as well.

Giannoulias himself has accepted at least one controversial campaign contribution, from Spiros Naos, an owner of a line of gambling cruise ships, who got ownership of the company after his uncle “was gunned down in an execution-style slaying after selling the gambling fleet to a group that included indicted Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff”, according to the Chicago Daily Herald. After initially defending the contribution as one Greek helping another, Giannoulias eventually returned the money once the media began dogging him about it.

We know what Giannoulias has done for Obama. What about the other way around? Why would a man with banking ties to organized crime (and a man who had generally not contributed to Democrats) become such a big supporter of Barack Obama?

Much in the same way that Obama was groomed for his elections by people in power in Chicago, and much in the same way that Obama supported the corrupt Stroger family even when he could have supported a reform-minded (liberal Democrat) opponent to the Strogers, the Obama-Giannoulias relationship seems one of political payback.

Obama endorsed Giannoulias for State Treasurer when the latter was just 29 years old, but the NY Post reported that “Giannoulias is so tainted by reputed mob links that several top Illinois Dems, including the state’s speaker of the House and party chairman, refused to endorse him even after he won the Democratic nomination with Obama’s help.” Obama remained a big supporter and is credited with having been an important factor in Giannoulias’s victory.

But, as Crain’s asked, “[J]ust why did Sen. Obama last week endorse for Illinois treasurer an unknown 29-year-old whose financial experience is limited to working at a family-owned Chicago bank, and who, as recently as five years ago, was shooting professional hoops as point guard with team Panionios of Athens, Greece?”

Media reports say that Obama was grateful for Giannoulias’s early support of Obama, including the six-figure fund-raising for Obama’s first campaign. But what about be the mutual connection to Tony Rezko, and could there be other connections we don’t yet know about?

Giannoulias has clearly believed he had something to gain. As someone who lived in Chicago for 15 years, I know that politics general and Chicago politics in particular is about who can help people make money or gain power. One way in which Obama could return the favor of political support to Giannoulias would be to support the possibility that Giannoulias could be selected to fill Obama’s US Senate seat if Obama wins the presidency.

The close association of Obama with a man who seems clearly to be involved in some shady deals with convicted criminals is yet another example of questionable judgment at best and typical dirty Chicago politics at worst. I wonder if Giannoulias will turn out to be the next in Obama’s never-ending series of “He’s not the man I knew”.

The voters that need to be swayed are not going to wrap their minds around something as complex as funding in the time left. Joe, spread the wealth, taxes, Chicago graft, inexperience and a few other themes are the ticket.

And I have not at all given up hope on a major bombshell being timed.

Don, I’m not sure if that was directed at me (I guess you missed my first sentence), but you might want to lay off the ad hominem, cliches, and miserable spelling and grammar if you want to be taken seriously.

Typical of your party, you are so quick to pull the trigger and then ask questions once your target has been shot. Just like the volunteer last week who made up her story, there could be an explanation for this, as Mike has already laid out.

I know you all can’t stand the groundswell Obama has amassed, so you pin it on fraud. Classic case of projection, I’d say (see 2000 election). Sorry, but yes, your party has brought this nation to its knees, and yes, we want a competent leader in the White House to fix the mess. Not George Bush in drag.

Thank for being

Do hope you protest the charges on your bill.
