EXCERPTS:
Strong words for the President, especially when you consider that his 2008 campaign was riddled with foreign donations and other irregularities.
The investigation showed that Gaza wasn't the President's only source foreign dollars, his campaign accepted contributions came from over 50 nations. They tried to scam the system by having the foreign contributors make multiple small donations, seemingly in their own names, over a period of a few days, while the individual donations were under maximum allowed, but the aggregate were in excess of the maximums. Other donations came in from donors with fake names such as "Hbkjb," "jkbkj," and "Doodad."
Thousands of Obama's foreign donations ended in cents. This was evidence of foreign contributors sending in donations in foreign currencies that were exchanged into dollars resulting in odd amounts.
The Obama campaign received a substantial amount of money from countries that have an interest in seeing a weak American President: $366,708.22 from China, $25,259.00 from the United Arab Emirates, $7,062.60 from Russia, and $6,716.28 from Saudi Arabia. Obama also took in $6,350.00 from Indonesia, $5,000.00 from Kenya, and $1,750.00 from Egypt.
The records also indicate that Obama also took donations from Tamil Tiger leaders. The Tamil Tigers are, according to the FBI, the most successful terrorist group in the world. While the Hillary Clinton returned contributions from the Tamil Tigers, Obama kept them.
