Obama's 2008 campaign given largest fine in US history.



Fox News is reporting that  Barack Obama's 2008 campaign has been fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for a failure to report a set of donations received during the final days of the campaign.


The fines are among the largest ever levied on a presidential campaign by the FEC and stem from a series of missing filings for nearly 1,200 contributions totaling nearly $1.9 million. Campaigns are required to file the reports during the final weeks of the campaign.   Obama campaign spokeswoman Katie Hogan said the 2008 campaign had more than 3 million donors and "the very few outstanding questions have now all been resolved."
 
The fines were first reported by Politico.

Editor’s notes:  truth be told,  these are largest fines ever levied against a presidential campaign.  The fact of the matter is this:  Obama received nearly two million dollars of illegal campaign donations and covered them up by,  somehow,  “loosing” them in a swamp of  poor accounting practices,  an intentional strategy,  by the way.  

Years ago,  the president of our Little League was stealing money.  Two of us decided to go after this guy.  We found that he had stolen more than $12,000 from the league.  We forced him out of the league but could not prosecute because  --  according to the local D.A. – his accounting books were so disorganized that nothing could be proven,  one way or the other.  


Obama is the King of Plausible Deniability.  It is the first thought he has, when deciding to race to the edge of anything that could be seen as “illegal.”  The rule,  in his Administration,  is this:  “At all cost,  protect the King.”  The rule is played out by members of his staff and the Parrot Media.  

Understand that this story was a major headline on the news portals I use to gather information, for precisely one day.  This morning,  when I decided to research the matter,  the story had been “taken down,”  but not washed from the Net.  

Keep in mind that while his spokespeople argue that these reporting problems have been resolved,  still,  the FEC fined this president close to $400,000 for -  in affect - being dishonest.  

More than this,  another 400 million dollars,  all donations of $50 or less,  were never reported,  as well.  But,  in this case, Obama could hide behind certain legalese.  McCain voluntarily reported all donations,  even when he was not required to,  as in the case of "$50" donations.  

It is a safe bet, that Obama's funding raising for 2012 was equally as dishonest,  but accompanied with a additional experience on how to play the system.  That is what so many entitled people do,  you know  . . . . . .  play the system.  

I have been saying this for years:  "We have a crook for a president,"  and now,  I have concrete proof.  

Oh well.
