Obama’s Campaign Contribution Records Scrubbed Clean
by Pamela GellerI appeared on David Asman’s show on Fox Tuesday evening to discuss the hypocrisy of the Obama gang’s new fallacious attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, projecting Democrat crimes on unsuspecting decent organizations. The whole episode showed up the incredible hypocrisy of Obama and the Democrats, and their callous indifference to the will of the people.
Obama and the Democrats claim that the Chamber of Commerce has been funding Republican candidates using foreign money. But as I show in great detail in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America (Simon & Schuster), in 2008 Obama’s FEC records were full of donations from people with obviously fake names, and other questionable material. (In contrast, McCain’s were squeaky clean.)
The Obama campaign website even featured a drop-down box enabling donors to specify from what country they were donating. All the donor had to do was check a box certifying that he was legally eligible to make a donation. There was no safeguard in place to make sure that foreign nationals did not donate from these countries, in flagrant defiance of the federal law forbidding candidates from receiving foreign donations.
Obama’s campaign received donations from the world over: the Virgin Islands, Vienna, The Hague, Madrid, London, Geneva, Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Moscow, Milan, Singapore, Beijing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, Dublin, Panama, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbai, Tunis, Zacatecas, St. Croix, Mississauga, Lima, Copenhagen, Dubai, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, and many others.
Worst of all, Obama’s campaign received contributions from Hamas-controlled Gaza (documentation here) and lied about refunding those jihad donations.
According to the FEC, the Obama campaign received contributions from three brothers in Gaza: Osama, Monir and Hossam Edwan, totaling $33,000. (It is illegal to receive campaign contributions from foreigners.) One of the Gazan brothers, Monir Edwan (identified here), claimed that he bought “Obama for President” t-shirts off Obama’s website and then sold the t-shirts in Gaza for a profit. All purchases on the Barack Obama website are considered contributions.
The Palestinians allegedly claimed that “they were American citizens,” or at least so said Obama’s people. They listed their address with a zip code of 972 (which is, ironically, the area code for Israel) and they listed “GA” as the state where they were living. That’s the state abbreviation for Georgia (screen shot here), but they were actually lived in a Hamas-controlled refugee camp in Gaza.
So if Obama’s people thought that the Edwan brothers were living in “Georgia,” and didn’t represent illegal foreign contributions to his campaign, why did they ship the t-shirts to the correct address in Gaza? One would think that they might have noticed that the shipping costs to send something overseas to a refugee camp in Gaza are vastly different from what you’d pay to send something to the state next door.
The Obama campaign claimed that it returned these illegal contributions. And they were prepared for this issue to come to the fore again: when I appeared on Asman’s show Tuesday, apparently Obama’s clean-up crew gave David Asman a record of “refunds.” The White House sent Asman this link showing a refund of the money that came from Gaza, but you’ll notice it doesn’t come near the $33,000 donated to Obama from Gaza; nor does it list Osama Edwan’s refund.
Where’s Osama, Obama?
Scrub a dub dub.
We have been down this road before. The Obama camp claimed in 2008 that they had returned the illegal contributions from Gaza, but this never appeared in the records. They claimed for two years that the money had been returned, but the donors in Gaza said it wasn’t. When we reviewed the records, it hadn’t been returned. Obama’s people claimed that virtually all of the money, about $33,500, was returned by December 6, 2008. But they also claimed that because of a “technical error,” the refunds weren’t reported to the FEC.
If McCain had been involved with something so dark and nefarious — taking money from Islamic jihad — his candidacy would never have survived the media firestorm. But in this case the perpetrator was the son of hope, the agent of change, the one we had all been waiting for, and so the media yawned.
But when the Democrats’ accusations against the Republicans showed up their hypocrisy, and I pointed it out, suddenly the money has been returned. The fixers had two years to wash these dirty donations clean. This is dirty pool.
White House spokesman, Josh Earnest, said, “This brings to light the importance of disclosure. The only reason someone like Geller was able to find this out was because of the FEC’s disclosure of donations, something the Chamber of Commerce refuses to do.” Hey Josh, the Chamber is private, the FEC is government.
Aren’t they afraid that their hypocrisy will be exposed? No. The White House is fanatically partisan, bent on destroying the Republicans, and the Democrats don’t care about their hypocrisy on this issue because they know that the leftwing lapdog media will be carrying water for them.
So that means free Americans have to keep up the pressure.

Opaquely transparent.
Obama is a fraud.
From day one, he has done nothing but run a game on the American people.
It is all becoming obvious now.
Even Stevie Wonder can see he has done nothing but run a con job.
When you elect a liar, you get a liar. Not too complicated about that.
But isn't the real question, if Obama was your answer, have you considered how stupid was your question. What did you want a jivemaster for?
"Holy foreign money, Batman!"
"Yes Robin, the Chamber of Commerce will be very interested to … learn … about … this…. (raise left eyebrow) To the Batmobile!"
"Sorry Batman, the mandatory ethanol conversion for the Batmobile is still in the shop."
"Curses. Well, to the Batplane!"
"Actually, Alfred didn't pay this month's carbon credit to Al Gore, so it's been grounded."
"Confound it! Well, how about the Bat Vespa?"
"Ready to go, Batman! I wound its rubber band just this morning!"
"Excellent Robin! To the Bat Vespa, then!"
What's going on here is that the liberals believe their own bull shyte: they really do think that the Tea Partiers are nothing but a bunch of racist xenophobes, and to capitalize on that the liberals decided to charge the Chamber of Commerce with accepting small amounts of foreign funds. In Professor Obama's mind, he has a chance to capture the banner of narrow-minded bigotry from the Tea Partiers, whom he neither respects nor understands.
It's more cluelessness from the left: they really don't get that what we on the right object to is not a black POTUS, but a budget-busting, freedom-eroding, Constitution-ignoring, economically clueless POTUS.
I am not holding my breath waiting for the MSM to call the Democrats on their hypocrisy in accepting untraceable foreign funds while blasting the Chamber for doing the same, and for attempting to capitalize on the alleged racism and nativism of the Tea Party with these stupid red herring arguments about "foreign funds" flowing to the Chamber of Commerce.
The left: more stupid than evil.
And now a statement from President Barrack Obama:
"Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed electorate, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor where he works for the Chamber of Commerce. Now think about it; that does not make sense!"
"Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, and work at the Chamber of Commerce with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with our current political situation? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with our economy or the state of our nation! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm the President of the United States, and I'm talkin' about the Chamber of Commerce and Wookiees! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that votin' booth deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed electorate, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca works at the Chamber of Commerce, you must vote Democrat! Thank you and God bless the United States."
The country is being run by traitors!
No surprise in this article….now if we can just get the impeachment proceedings started…
did someone say that the presidunce lied??? it wasn't Joe Wilson (R) SC was it???
Isn't it though?
Traitors, and foreigners.
That stinking pile of manure known as the democrat / progressive party is circling the bowl as we speak
Now we need to clean house (beurocracy) and never let this vermin get its head above water again.
Even Stevie Wonder can see he has done nothing but run a con job.
As he says, "When you believe in things you don't understand, and you suffer…"
AMEN Brother Cowboy!
Elect a lying sack of feces and what you get is a lying sack of feces!
But in his religion, Lying to infidels is not only legal, but a well respected tradition…
Know what I like best about Bill Clinton doing the campaign tours for Barack Obama?
The idea of an impeached President working for a soon-to-be-impeached President.
Pam, Pam, Pam…
OF COURSE THEY ARE LYING!!!!
They can't tell the truth (genetically inbred and incapable of honesty, or Muslim and lying is honored tradition,or ???).
Besides, what would happen to them if they told the TRUTH? They are 1000% dependent upon "the big lie".
All the soap in the World couldn't clean that outfit.
PROGRESSIVES=TRAITORS=DEMOCRATS
HIJACKING not just for airplanes!
I believe Professor Obama majored in Marxist Studies while in college, and wrote his senior thesis on how to destroy capitalism from within by taxing and regulating the private sector into oblivion. I also believe Professor Obama minored in Deviant Studies, with an emphais on pederasty.
What's that, Mr. Axelrod–prove it? The burden of proof is not on me to prove that Professor Obama is a Marxist who minored in the defense of child molestors; the burden of proof is on you to prove that he isn't.
I heard Obama and all his cronies are on the the payroll of the Red Chinese. Is it still okay to call them "Red" this color thing confuses me.
Pam you are always right on the money. I think a great way to send a message to American Radical Democrats and RINOs is to start Impeachment proceedings against Obama, for starters, for:
Abuse of Power, Dereliction of Duty, Failure to uphold OATH of Office to uphold The Constitution, High Crimes,
Passing un-finished, Un-read Legislation, against the televised protests of America!
Failure to enforce Federal Laws such as our existing "Federal Immigration Law" and demanding to change that law to Obama's Comprehensive Immigration Law! Does anyone trust the Obama Admin with changing our Federal Law?
His refusal to enforce that law has allowed Terrorists, Illegals, Rapists, Drug Cartels,and Murderers to stay in America all the time that Obama has been in office! This has cost American lives! and we are Invaded now, and socialist Democrats are keeping it that way! Bloomberg in NY with the Mosque? please.
Illegals are sitting in American Citizen's childrens seats in our schools. Illegals are doing jobs that our Soldiers, returning from war could be doing.
There is so much more that this muslim marxist Obama has done to U.S. with his Fundamental Transformation of America. Out with them all! Focus on taking control of the Senate. Win the majority on Nov 2, and then defund and contain the Obama Admin and all of his Communist supporters that showed up in their One Nation Rally in D.C. Remember that, and Start the Trials for these traitors!
BTW, I got an email from the Dem's this morning and the desperation is getting really bad.
The email shows the sender as Barack Obama and the subject is "I want to meet (recipient's first name)". The mail says that for a $3 donation, I will be entered into a sweepstakes drawing to meet Obama backstage in Vegas along with 9 other donors, like he's Justin Bieber for crying out loud. I thought Obama felt like people shouldn't be spending their money in Vegas??? Oh well- we just found out that now Obama doesn't believe in "shovel-ready projects" anymore, so his is a fluid reality, as it is with most Leftists.
I told them if they want $3 from me, someone needs to come over and pull weeds or wash windows.
Symmetry! I like it!
This administration is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen.
Hey! Joe Biden! How often do you beat your wife? You need to PROVE that you don't beat your wife. Until Joe proves the negative I'm going to assume he does beat his wife.
Hey…I'm just trying to play by their standards.
I didn't follow that all too well, but Michelle Obama would look out of place on Endor, that's Chewbacca's twin brother errrr sister I mean.
If a trial were held under the UCMJ nearly every member of congress and the administration would be found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors or outright treason.
There are maybe one hundred members of the house and ten members of the senate that are actually following or trying to follow the constitution to the letter.
This shit must stop!
Nothing to hide so what if there is 18 minutes of missing tape? I am not a crook.
"Like he's Justin Bieber". Damn, too funny. Bho is more like Justin Asshole.
+Hanzo+
Missy,
I like your logic.
Using that same UCMJ then, they could all be summarily lined up against a wall, and dealt with accordingly.
Not to appear argumentative, could you name the one hundred, and the ten?………
Most pathetic?
Obama makes Carter appear stellar.
I do believe you sent a link some time ago Cowboy which lists the culprits.
The Democratic Socialist of America.
Now that is not only funny, but very clever! LMAO.
I saw Asmans interview, he will have you back if you ask, at least I would think so, ask him and clear it up it is important but the MSM will make it go away regardless.
It's my take on the "Wookie Defense." In other words, Obama is just using the Chamber of Commerce as a red herring to distract the voters. It's all a bunch of razzle-dazzle "Hey, look over there!"
Obama actually thinks people are stupid enough to fall for this.
I think yellow (coward) or pink-o (commie) would be more appropriate.
The secret weapon of the Obama administration is the executive order. He has already signed one setting up a "citizens" army. Watch out and where is George Washington when you need him?
I have decided that the USA is being run like Bell, California.
And very close to the Bat Truth!
LOL, RedWhiteAndJew!
I'm sure businesses will be more than happy to see Mafia tactics being used against them in the Windy City.
I think he is a widower
Joe Wilson' s outburst — one brief shining moment of truth in DC since January 2009.
The emporer in charge is elite, above god, so he thinks. Let's stomp out this fire on November 2nd.

______"Obama and his propaganda machine in the mainstream media, not to mention his party of corruption, are calling for an investigation of “foreign money” in campaigns.
I have been calling for a special prosecutor for years, ever since I exposed the millions Obama received from Muslim nations, Hamas-controlled Gaza and other foreign countries.______"
Ms. Geller,
You just don't get !!
Imam Hussein Obama is a Muslim from another country !!!
So in reality it is "Local Money" he received !
An American getting contributions from the ME would be breaking the Law.
Do you see the difference ?
/sarc ?
. . . he also allowed for his own army in the health-care bill. And he fired McChrystal.
We're going to need a plunger and an auger before it's all said and done. One flush ain't going to do it.
We need to audit Obama's money, his votes, his caucuses, his election results, his polls, his presidential spending accounts, even the secrets which he may have sold for profit to other nations.
Since we know he will take foreign donations, why not suspect he'd sell state secrets? Why not suspect that he may sell us all out? The closer we look, the more we find, and that's not a good sign.
Check your state's voting list, especially if ACORN worked in your area.
I've been preaching this to the high heavens since the ACRON scandals 2 years ago .. I sent faxes, emails and made calls to anyone in Congress who would answer… (FREAKING CRICKETS !!!!)
It was obivious he was a fraud and excepting foreign donations !!!! If you watch MSNBC, CNN, ABC … no one them question this as usual…
I think the problem is the purple tshirts that are in the way to confuse you.
Seriously… The now returned the monies?… This in my opinion with out the return of the T shirts by the guy is like donating 33k to a flipping Islamic Extremist… He has now gotten something for nothing(plus a damn profit)
The monies should have been donated to a US charity like the the Salvation Army or the Red Cross.
And you know they knew this when they sent the $ back…
~~Hey, lets send it back now.. it will shut the media up about it and we get to donate to our favorite charity!~~
Arrogant elitist anti American extremists, the whole lot of them
No I believe the MEDIA has elected it's messiah and they must do is Alinsky Rule 13….
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
New bumper sticker: If Obama was your answer, how STUPID was your question?
Now you know why obummer and his fcc diversity czar want to CONTROL the internet! Keep your people STUPID, and you can do just about anything you want. The libTARDS have been doing that for decades!
Obama needs to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. America will NOT survive until 2012 with this terrorist as JOTUS: Jackass of the United States.
Education is the answer to ridding the world of socialism/communism ideals. History shows splendidly what a complete failure this centralized totalitarian ideal of utopia is for all involved.
Example: Russia, until shedding many communist foolhardylness ideas and adopting capitalism, Russia was a very ugly, brutish place to live with little god, freedom, nor did they have much happiness..
Example: China, same thing, an economic powerhouse, they only need become more like American constitutional goverment, then success for China and the world.
Socialism and Communism failed, get over it liberal lefties.

Transparency you can believe in!
I look forward to the coming investigations when the Dems are finally out of power in Washington.
Of course they are… he can't have us knowing he receives contributions from rouge countries.
why would you pay them three dollars, when an illegal would do it for a buck, and you know obama won't deport him. you could even have a nationally televised press conference, and annouce that you had an illegal pulling weeds, and nobody would notice, or does this only work when you are outing a housekeeper working for a republican gubenatorial candidate?
will his army get armbands with his logo on them, and have shiney boots, and create a new style of salute to the one?
Where do you come up with these great sayings?
you got that wrong, he said i have been to all 57, and still one to go, so technically he mentions 58 states, but hey, who's counting. still crickets on the media for catching that whopper of a gaffe.
Is there any reason why Americans would want as the POTUS a person who was most likely selected rather than elected; secretive, cheat, liar, thief and totally UnAmerican?
I didn't think so. Goodbye Obama.
Hmmm, scrubbed clean, where's the birth certificate Barry? http://i40.tinypic.com/o0154z.jpg
Jivemaster?
He is the head negro in charge of music and terpsichorean activities.
Rush was on fire yesterday regarding Obama's paycheck coming from the Chi-Coms.
Everyone is missing the point of this exercise against the Chamber of Commerce. It's about government contracts and donations. If the dems can find out who is contributing to the CofC, they can threaten them with cancelled contracts if they continue donating to the CofC instead of the third party democrat groups.
And he's coming on now For, what say we enjoy what he offers today?
.
Scrubbed clean? More like sucked into that black hole where his college transcripts went…………
Holy Hilarious! That was mad funny!
I'm one of those kooky Americans who would really prefer to do the work myself, especially if some Hispanic can provide fraudulent documents to an employment agency and the employer can be held liable for employing them at some point (but only if they're conservative officeholder aspirants).
Every transmitter requires a receiver. Theirs is broken.
I'm multitasking…doing Home Schooling and listening to Rush at the same time! He's talking about Mooch-elle and Obama possibly having marital problems. He's also talking about them trying to keep the spirits clean around them. It's no big shock to me they are probably involved in the occult. After all, her mommy is into voodoo!!
I just pray God removes him from office!
I didn't mean to post a dig at the expense of his deceased first wife.
If I came off that way I apologize.
I was just trying to make the point that this administration attacks people & organizations that they view as 'Enemies' with nothing to back up the accusations.
"I think he is a widower "
I think he remarried.
I also suspect he beats his current wife, his children & the family cat.
The burden is on him to prove me wrong.
The 2012 POTUS Election has already started !!!!!!
“I tell you what, there’s real trust, that’s why he’s asked me to run again,” Mr. Biden said Monday, dropping this tidbit at the end of a 40-minute conversation, just before he dashed off to his third fund-raiser of the day. “Look, he said, ‘We’re going to run together, are you going to run?’ I said, ‘Of course, you want me to run with you, I’m happy to run with you.’ ” http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100...
/spit
I was only quoting tarpon above in his post. I would never take someone else's saying but what he wrote just made me see a bumper sticker.
Can you believe this material Rush is getting on this CIC, you'd think they could put a stop to
this continual eruption. Axlerod must have really been out of his league in DC.
.
Rock on Kristine! Definitely a case of projection…
How can anyone in this country not be ashamed to be a Democrat?
Have you ever seen a sitting president blame his failures on the previous administration?
I haven't.
This guy makes Carter look competent.
How anyone could vote for this "Rock-star" is beyond me.
From your lips to God's Ears……
If you're gonna hit Axelrod wit' logic he don' wanna chit chat…
Crazy people don't know they're crazy……..everything is fine. And, they don't understand what normal people are talking about, so they ignore it. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Never.
Ever.
Obama's actions would be akin to Bush blaming Clinton for eight years for the 9/11 attacks. It never happened. Obama wanted the Big Chair. He sold America a bill of goods that he was "Da Man"! It is long past time that he grow a set of nutz, and act like one. I learned back in kindygarden not to blame others for my mistakes. He never learned that.
I took a lot of flak for it last fall, for my stance on Obama.
In the past year, the only thing that has changed, is my opinion of him, has gotten worse.
Folks need to face the cold hard facts.
That flap eared sumbitch wouldn't make a decent lawn jockey.

Just about fell out of my chair laughing!

And those M1 Garands SKorea wanted to sell in the US? Obama says "No, they might get in the wrong hands." Like, maybe, a /real/ volunteer, civilian militia?
53% of money from corporate PACS (monies from corporations and individuals working at corp.s) goes to Democrats. 95% of monies collected from unions goes to Democrats.
Individuals, however, are raising (independently) more money for Republican/Independent and "TEA party" candidates, which is why the Obama camp has their panties in a knot. They aren't happy with the new competition.
Three bucks to stand toe-to-toe with the messiah?
Sign me up, brother.
The meet will not go as planed.
Yes, She will. She is not that fragile. Now go out and donate a few hours to your local candidates' campaigns.
I think we'll need a couple of separate committees for the purpose.
Now that was Funny
Who knew you could make $800K per year issuing a few licenses annually for taco trucks?
Some people actually think they're doing a good job. (Congress has an 11% approval rating.)
you mean you wouldn't announce on nationally televised press conference, that the illegal alien you hired, not only broke the law by entering without permission, but also was guilty of identity theft, and falsifying federal tax forms? you really need to talk to gloria, she loves putting clients out there, and openly admitting the commission of crimes on recorded press conferences. but, hey, for three bucks i wouldn't pull your weeds, might as well do it yourself, wave a few hundred in my face, and i'm there
Obama actually thinks people are stupid enough to fall for this.
Considering who voted for him…
Obama has always been an idiot and hypocrite. He needs to apologize to the Justices for embarassing and intimidating them because he disagreed with Citizens United regarding foreign money to influence US elections. All along, Obama has been taking foreign funds for his war chest.
A real expert on election law: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/193894/presi...
Bingo! That must be where the dummies running Bell, Ca got their inspiration.
Yes, both sides accepting foreign contributions should be hit upside the head. Both are indeed scum for hiding who donates to them – and have no place in a fair and transparent democracy.
Still, i'm sure we'll see no change, no matter who's in the whitehouse seeing as it's happened for at least the last, say, 50 years…
$33,000 small change
how would one track the millions in sub $200 in prepaid credit card donations that poured into BHO's campaign?
that's where the real money came from
At first I thought you were bringing the First Wookie into this. Then I realized you were retreating to your happy place, South Park, and bringing us the Wookie Defense.
