Campaign Financing And Diversions

Demonstrating considerable rhetorical prowess, The Jawa Report shares this about the Obamessiah's campaign financing violations and diversionary tactics:

This should raise a few eyebrows, assuming it's credible. A team of PUMAs has been digging through Obama's campaign contributions via FEC information, and they've found some, er, interesting money laundering accounting.

Some of the donors are very creative and amusing. A rich person in Kansas listed his occupation as Philan Therapist. A professor emeritus at Northwestern University can't spell the name of his university.

But one big error stands out. The Team looked carefully at "Contributions to Barack Obama by State Through 10/15/2008" at the FEC's website. The FEC summary lists Individual Contributions of $579 million from all 50 states combined, but the individual state totals available came to only $413 million. Where is that missing $166 million dollars?

Why it's HEY LOOK OVER HERE! A SHINY THING! HOPE! CHANGE!

More here.

Very eeeenteresting.

This is nothing new to those of us who abstained from drinking the Obama Kool-Aid over the past few months (see here, here, and here).  Unfortunately, I can't imagine what might actually come of this (even if it is proven beyond doubt) because the FEC has already stated they will not be auditing Obama.  Still, I suppose it might help blow the smoke out of a few misty-eyed Obots who aren't too far gone yet to give critical thinking one last try before giving it up entirely.

We can hope.

There's my two cents.
