President Obama’s reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.
Sources told Washington Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.
According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.
The Obama campaign has received hundreds of millions in small dollar donations, many via credit card donations through their website. On Thursday, the campaign announced a record September donor haul of $150 million.
At the end of the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama-Biden effort was hit with a similar scandal. At the time, the Washington Post reported that the Obama campaign let donors use “largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor’s identity.”

Thi had better be true…or else you’re just another peddler of wishful gossip!
Such a bad presidency we have never seen. Nixon said he wasn’t a crook but this is more serious. Prepaid credit cards; very very interesting. He had to Putin flunky; TELL PUTIN AFTER ELECTIONS I WILL HAVE MORE FREEDOM. obama is intentionally destroying America bit by bit. Cap and trade, stop oil drilling and given $2,000,000,000 to Brasil to drill and making unrealistic demands to close all Coal energy so we will have to pay more at the pumps and our light bill. Remember he said under his cap and trade system
your electrical bills will sky rocket, and the leftist press never ever make him answer for this.
Maybe him knowing about the scandal which is about to break made he look quizzy on Wednesday night. Lets’ vote the leftist out of office
what Obummer break the law!!!!! his muslim friends are sending him money so he can help more in his next term
Like all other scandals with the president it will just roll off his back and that will be the end of it. Oh yes we’ll hear about it on Rush, Hannity etc. but that’s about it. The MSM has decided thay want him reelected so they will do everything in their power to make sure it happens.
Obama got money from the left wing Jews and all the Arab countries
This is exactly what he did last time, and the media let him get away with it. How many people four years ago ever heard that his campaign had deliberately disabled the security checks on credit card donations, that come standard with the software to prevent fraud. It was impossible to make a donation to McCain with a fraudulent credit card, or a foreign one, but it was easy to do it to 0bama, because his campaign turned off the validation, which is impossible to do by accident.
He also had a phone bank in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip raising money for him, which could be processed in small (less then $250) chunks and attributed to prepaid credit cards.
Now it appears that he’s up to the same tricks, but at least this time they’re being reported. But YonasanW should not pretend this is some sort of surprise. He got away with it last time, so why wouldn’t he try it again?
Is it illegal to take donations from a pre-paid debit card?
