Many months after it has been determined that Barack Obama’s campaign took over $30,000 in illegal campaign contributions from Arabs living in Gaza, the contributors state that their money still has not been returned by Obama.
Last week it was exposed Palestinian Gazans Monir, Hosam and Osama Edwan made a series of donations online at Obama’s official campaign website totaling more than $30,000.
The donations violate election laws, including prohibitions against receiving contributions from foreigners and accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election.
The Wall Street Journal reported it spoke to Obama officials who said the nearly $33,500 in donations were received between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 of last year and that most of the money was returned by Dec. 6. The campaign claimed, however, the refunds were not reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error.
The Obama camp insisted the remaining $2,500 was refunded Aug. 4 and that all the refunds will be reflected soon in an amended report. The campaign said new controls are in place to prevent any similar attempts in the future.
But WND spoke to the brothers, who denied the Obama campaign refunded their money.
“No, we did not receive any money back from the Obama campaign at any time,” said Monir Edwan. (emphasis mine)
Just another example of how different Obama is from the typical politician, right? But anyway, why would Gazans be contributing to Obama’s campaign in the first place, unless they were sure that Obama would be far more beneficial to their cause than John McCain would? Israel and Jews all over the world should be justifiably terrified of this Obama guy. Obama’s going to sell out Israel first chance he gets.

You know what’s sad?
All those black people laughing to each other “now WE get everything, now it’s OUR turn!!!”, and they think that by electing him in some way he will advance their interests over those of white people.
Once elected, he will make his friends (of all races - Rezko is an arab) rich - which is the entire point of the office, nothing else.
If you’re not on his team, you get nothing.
He doesn’t need to pay any attention to you for another 4 years.

Many Blacks probably don’t even realize that Obama isn’t black. Obama’s father was a Kenyan, but mostly of Arab decent, and his mother was of course white. So Barack Obama is really something like 40% Arab, 10% Black and 50% white.
Obama is a loose cannon with an ultra left wing background. Who knows what this guy would do as president, but it’s certainly not going to be anything good for most Americans. Hopefully most of the independent and late deciding voters will have trouble voting for him and spare us 4 years of misery.

I called the Election Commission and the Dept of Justice today to encourage them to do something. It is not only illegal for these contributions to occur but the law plainly states, IT IS ILLEGAL TO ACCEPT THEM. So, Obama promises to refund those that he got caught with… How many more illegal contributions do we not know about…. I hear it is pouring in by the millions from overseas. And more importantly, what is he going to owe these foreigners once he gets elected????

We’re playing by Chicago rules now. Lie, cheat, steal, commit election fraud on a massive scale, anything goes.
