Obama likely to escape campaign audit —- BUT NOT McCAIN.

The Federal Election Commission is unlikely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaign’s record-shattering windfall, despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting that had the McCain campaign crying foul.

Adding insult to injury for Republicans: The FEC is obligated to complete a rigorous audit of McCain’s campaign coffers, which will take months, if not years, and cost McCain millions of dollars to defend.
Obama is expected to escape that level of scrutiny mostly because he declined an $84 million public grant for his campaign that automatically triggers an audit and because the sheer volume of cash he raised and spent minimizes the significance of his errors. Another factor: The FEC, which would have to vote to launch an audit, is prone to deadlocking on issues that inordinately impact one party or the other – like approving a messy and high-profile probe of a sitting president.

McCain, on the other hand, accepted the $84 million in taxpayer money, which not only barred him from raising or spending more – allowing Obama to fund many times more ads and ground operations – but also will keep his lawyers…

THEY PICK AND CHOSE WHICH POLICIES TO ADHERE TO - AND WHEN TO BE ETHICAL. RIDICULOUS!!

WRITE TO THE FEC TO COMPLAIN! HERE ARE THE COMMISSIONERS ADDRESSES:

CommissionerWalther@fec.gov
CommissionerBauerly@fec.gov
CommissionerHunter@fec.gov
CommissionerPetersen@fec.gov

To the Federal Election Commission:

The news about Barack Obama not going to be audited – “due to embarrassment” – to Barack Obama or the Commission?

Where do we go from here, when there is no accountability whatsoever when it comes to the highest office in all the land?

We KNOW that at least $63 million of Barack Obama’s record $605+ million take came from undisclosed–and possibly foreign–sources. We KNOW that contributors to Obama’s campaign Web site were not required to provide addresses which matched credit card records, and therefore could contribute the maximum with one pre-paid credit card and then turn around and contribute another with another card number. Even The New York Times reported that Obama received fraudulent contributions from fictional donors with names like “Test Person” and “Fdsa Fdsa,” and expressed concern as to whether “the Obama campaign [was] adequately vetting its unprecedented flood of donors.”

What message does this send? Am I correct to assume that, if a candidate is charismatic enough, if he or she can raise enough money to make their selection practically inevitable, then he or she can simply get a pass and no longer be subject to American campaign finance laws and constitutional guidelines?

Other News Of Interest

Number eight on Judicial Watch’s corrupt politicians list is Barack Obama:

In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.

Write your Electors……….the more of us to do so, the greater the impact will be. Call Secretary of State in each state to get the names–write them. Get the Republican Governors on your list, too.

Email JudicialWatch.org with the information about Obama’s 2006 taxpayer funded trip to Kenya to campaign for Odinga. Tell them to look into the abuse of Obama using the Senate office to solicit campaign funds for Odinga’s campaign. The taxpayers also are coughing up the funds for his Senate Staffer, Lippert, who Obama used as a liaison between Obama and Odinga. The same treatment should apply to Obama as is to Ted Stevens. Both should spend some pen time.

Let’s flood Judicial Watch with requests and plead for their assistance.

Help stop the charade perpetrated by Obama, the master of fraud and his radical leftist extremists.

We don’t have much time left and alot of work to accomplish.
