And, those donations mostly consist of $25 given
by people like me.
Barack Obama is running against the sleeziest
campaign in the history of our country.
And, unfortuately, there are some who believe
the trash the republicans have put out.
But, thank God, the majority do not.

I watched the video from Plouffe!

I just hope we can spend it as fast as we raise it; Plouffe is right when he says McCain is just going deeper into the gutter by the day. We need the money to expose the lies and overcome that now famous 6% racial deficit Obama starts with.

There are powerful people that want more of the same tax cuts and war spending that threaten to bankrupt us, and just like Cheney lying to Congressmen behind closed doors, these people will stoop to say anything to discredit Obama. Obama devoted his entire adult life to helping the middle and lower class, foregoing massive salaries he could have made and living in
slums. These people will try to make him seem socialist, anti-american, non-american and
dangerous.

In fact on EVERY POINT they are liars and hypocrites; they socialize risk, want to bail out foreign banks, raise taxes on the middle class (your health care benefits) and drop taxes on the upper crust, let American laws be written by and for lobbyists and American courts be run by the far religious right, and nothing could be more anti-American and un-american than THAT.

Go Obama, crush the corrupt liars in the pockets of lobbyists. You've got my money and my vote.

Obama Fundraising Fraud

CBS News.
Reports two more donors to the Obama campaign that gave a total of $7,722 appear to have made their contributions under fake names that look like they were written by a mouse running across a keyboard: Dahsudhu Hdusahfd of Df, Hawaii with the following employer CZXVC/ZXVZXV and Uadhshgu Hduadh listed as living in Dhff, Florida listed their employer as DASADA/SAFASF.

WASHINGTON/PRNewswire -- The Republican National Committee (RNC) today filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against the Obama for America campaign addressing its acceptance of foreign national and excessive contributions. The complaint demonstrates that the Obama campaign has failed to comply with federal campaign finance law in its fundraising.

Newsweek:
Taken notice of the problems in its article Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting, and has noted McCain camp made all of its donor information public while the Obama campaign has refused???

American Spectator:
Obama's Fishy $200 Million reports that an unnamed auditor for the Federal Elections Commission is being prevented investigating questionable fundraising techniques by the Obama campaign. Obama has already had to deal with several FEC complaints about fraudulent donors and illegal foreign contributions, and the FEC says those complaints have not been resolved. Obama camp has been cagey about the means by which it has made its historic fundraising hauls, which now total almost $500 million for the election cycle. His opponents during primaries raised questions about the huge amount of e-retail sales Obama camp was making for such things as t-shirts and other campaign paraphernalia, and how such sales were being tracked and used for fundraising purposes. While the profits of those items counted against the $2,300 personal donation limit.

Ignorned by MSM. FEC analyst says that Obama's filings indicate he has received large, bundled sums of donations from overseas, sometimes exceeding a quarter millions dollars. "It's suspicious, and it's the small donations made by credit card that need to be examined. Obama camp ignores the FEC. Until recently, the Obama Web allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Unlike McCain's or Sen. Hillary Clinton's online donation pages, the Obama site DOES NOT ask for PROOF of CITIZENSHIP!!! until recently. Clinton's presidential campaign required U.S. citizens living abroad to actually fax a copy of their passport before a donation would be accepted. With such lax vetting of foreign contributions, the Obama camp may have directly contributed to questionable fundraising by foreigners.

wow!!!! what a record!!! this is just amazing! People really want things to change in this election. they're tired of dirty tricks and swiftboat politics.Is this the beginning of the bottom up economy era? I think we don't talk too much about the change that all of this represent. This guy, an african american candidate, with a little record on the national level raising hopes of millions and breaking all records ( crowds at rallies, fundraising, donors, etc.) . If he lose, then I'll have many problems understanding the complexity of this country. God bless america!!! All parts of it of course! Even the pro ones.

I love it!!! You know I believe in Obama and I trust him to bring this country back on her foundation. McCain keeps going on about taxes. You know McCain raised taxes on the middle class by not supporting bills that would of helped the middle class. I will continue donating to Obama-I give what I can on a weekly basis.

It is the most impressive campaign ever ran in American history.Senator obama is making history in all areas.What is most surprising, is the negative vicious attack launch by the mccain campaign.Obama started with the support of the middle class and poor Americans.To suggest that Obama is fooling Americans;then the Mccain camp is either not paying attention of what"s happening or they are in delusion.150 million in 30 days is very compelling.

I wonder if the McCain/Palin camp notices that there is a direct correlation between the amount of attacks lies and smears they spread about Obama and the amount of money he raises. If they did, maybe they would stop. Just a thought.

$150 million dollars = good riddance to the GOP.

After all of these months of listening to Senator McCain, I have changed my mind. I, like most of us here @ First Read, have been following politics very closely for years, and I had long ago come to the conclusion that the most clueless, empty headed & meanest politician I had ever seen was Senator Elizabeth Dole. Lindsey Graham, #2.

It is quite possible John McCain now has top honors. He has not presented one new idea in this campaign to convince me of why I should ever consider him as our next president. Not a single one. All I see is a candidate who has used a combination of divisive politics, fear & war mongering, manipulation, city vs. rural Americans, educated vs. uneducated Americans & just plain outright lies.

Karl Rove, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter & the entire cast of Fox Propaganda - it's payback time. You all failed miserably with your un-American activities. We're bigger than you & we're smarter than you. The country does not belong to you. See, we get it. Your "conservatism" is a code word for "racism".

It's the 21st Century now, so get used to it. And in the meantime, catch up on American history. You just might recognize yourselves when reading about some of our more uglier moments. Because that's what your legacy is going to be after all is said and done.

And it is true that one of your pals, G. Gordon Liddy, as part of the Nixon Administration, was all gung ho for bombing the Brookings Institution. Isn't that something?

Now that's what I call un-American.

Congratulations to the Obama campaign. Tremendous efforts by all.

To Delaney & Garrett-
In defense for Obama, you know there were several donations given to him by Lobbyist-(personal donations), he returned those checks. He thanked
them and returned the checks. Knowing Obama he will make sure that this money is returned. You know the difference between McCain and Obama? McCain tries to think his way into right acting but Obama acts his way into right thinking.

Obama had to face many barriers because of his color and he has handled it with grace. He is graceful and grateful for the opportunities he has been given in his life. Look---he just paid off his student loan- He has one car and one house-Obama is not self-
indulgent!

The McCain message de jour is that Obama is a Socialist with the implication that McCain is a self dependent capitalist. Yet it is Obama whose campaign is supported by voluntary independent contributions and McCain who has chosen to rely on the federal government to redistribute our tax dollars for his campaign's benefit - which could and should be called socialism.

CHANGE-YES RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER-YES BELIEVE_ YES!!!! To see what has been going on these past few weeks with the digusting dirty politics of the republicans just cements my position for change. Folks.. this election is so important for this country and our standing in the world we all must VOTE. NO EXCUSES!!!

It humors and horrifies me, that Americans Garette and Delaney will spread slanders like their's willy-nilly. If their points were even close to plausible, don't you think that the Fascist News...er, Fox News Network would be running them 24/7.

You two, and those like you should stop braying Hannity and Limbaugh talking points and just f'ing think!

If you'd rather not think, than perhaps you'd better just start showing up for your rallies in uniform to show your solidarity with a racist, anti-middle class WASHINGTON POLITICIAN.

My suggestion is that you wear Brown shirts, and maybe march in unison to some music. To properly express your patriotism, don't march to "Born in the USA" (sung by an anti-American Obama supporter), or "God Bless America" sung by someone who believed in an accepting and loving God.

Instead, you racist and fascist supporters of McSame/McPhalin should embrace your true song--the "Horst Wessel" song...

She's been just a great motivator! Great job Sarah!!

I checked out your link. First of all, it's a blog (already tainted with opinion rather than fact). Not to mention that the site is hocking pro-McCain/Palin books, tshirts, etc. and anti-Obama stuff. Think about where you're gathering information before using it.

The great thing about this is the feeling of involvement that people get from donating amounts that are within with their budgets. Even $5 is significant because it pays for some expense of the campaign. I am sure that we who support Obama at whatever level are all very proud to be a part of this positive event in American history.

Barb, LA — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:02:14 GMT

He raised so much money because people are terrified of Palin being that one feeble heartbeat away from the presidency. I personally donated $200 in September, more than I could afford, but Palin just cannot be anywhere near that button.
