| A prominent Democratic donor with ties to the Red Chinese government may be implicated in the Obama campaign’s flouting of federal campaign finance law, according to a bombshell investigative report. The groundbreaking new study, authored by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), highlights the “curious case” of Obama.com, a website previously, and possibly still, owned by Obama campaign bundler and frequent White House visitor Robert W. Roche. (Snip)Visitors to the site, more than two-thirds of which are located outside the United States, are redirected to the Obama campaign’s main donation page at barackobama.com.

Nothing here to get excited about. We all know that this slug and his family and all the people around him are not subject to the laws that the rest of us are.
This story is so unimportant that the left wing media will not even report it.

Not new news....he did the same thing in '08 and nothing happened....as I remember,the website for donations didn't bother to check the field that noted if the donation was out of country or not.

The 0bama campaign needs more money and suddenly they get it from a bunch of 'anonymous' donors in odd amounts and definite links to having originated from overseas. All this was expected, and you know they planned it, AGAIN, as well. Let's be like a real democracy and through this regime out of office and THEN investigate and prosecute.

Of course the MSM will try to ignore this like they did in '08. Unlike in '08, however, when McCain refused to criticize Obama for anything, it appears that the Republicans may have a candidate in Romney that will.
If Romney takes this right at Obama in the next debate, the media may not have a choice but to cover.

There is a simple solution to this.
Simply put a rider on a bill that makes it illegal to not have the IP filter working on any organization that takes money for campaigns in the US. If that filter is not there then the fine is $1,000,000 per day and 110% of any monies collected from that site must be donated to a charity of the political opponents chpoice.

Offered admission into several top colleges, she accepted a scholarship to UC San Diego, leaving behind the often rough, inner-city world of South Los Angeles.

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving."
