There is a reason the RNC is going after this:
“(CNN) – The fund-raising prowess of the Obama campaign may be put under a microscope, if the Republican National Committee has its way.
The RNC announced that it plans to file a complaint with the Federal Election Committee Monday that seeks an audit of the more than $450 million donated so far to Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.
The complaint will address two issues highlighted in a recent Newsweek report about the Obama campaign’s fund-raising. First, the RNC will ask the federal agency responsible for enforcing campaign finance laws to audit and inquire into whether the Obama campaign accepted any money from foreign nationals, a contribution source prohibited under federal law.
“We believe that, based on the law, the Obama campaign has accepted contributions from foreign nationals and has knowingly done so through at least its failure to reasonably investigate where all this money is coming from,” RNC Chief Counsel Sean Cairncross told reporters Sunday.
”
According to several sources with knowledge the Obama campaign is beginning to scurry over the Newsweek report, but it looks like they did in fact take campaign money from wealthy foreign nationals, some of which has yet to be reported.
In fact you know something is up if Newsweek, who has editorially been in Obama’s camp for some time even dared to come out with the story.
The RNC consulted it’s legal council and they feel there is significant evidence to support the allegation.
Stay tuned for this one.

2Yes, because the Republicans are SUCH saints when it comes to money;)
I think it’s worthless to assign such characteristics to someone you do not and will never know.

3This guy is a damn scumbag !! He allegedly committed voter fraud, campaign finance fraud and there is something funny about his birth certificate. He needs to be impeached as soon as the f-ing dirtbag takes office. How could they turn off all the safeguards to prevent people from illegally donating money and get away with it ? Its amazing what this complete fraud gets away with !!! I want to know why ???
