Examiner Editorial: Obama’s sketchy campaign donations

10/5/08

Talking heads in the mainstream media have been trumpeting the fact that Senator Barack Obama raised much of his campaign funds from 12 million small donors via the Internet, implying that the Harvard-educated lawyer is tapping a deep well of popular support on Main Street.

But there is mounting evidence that many of Obama’s supporters may not be small – or even legal.

Kenneth Timmerman reports on NewsMax that the Obama campaign refuses to identify individual donors who funded nearly half of the Illinois Democrat’s $454 million warchest.

These unknown supporters include a “Good Will” from Austin, Texas who listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.” Mr. Good Will donated $17,375 in more than 1,000 separate credit card transactions, most for $25 a pop. One of Mr. Good Will’s colleagues at Loving, a “Doodad Pro” from “Nando, NY,” who coincidentally also works as a “You” at “Loving” – donated $19,500 in 786 separate credit card transactions.
