No serious investigation by the FEC of Obama's campaign had me puzzled. With all the apparent fraudulence in his fund raising and donation schemes, including removing the fraud protection safeguards from his web based donation sites, why was his campaign not being grilled seriously by the Federal Election Commission. Why was this watchdog doing nothing? And then today, I ran across a reference to what I had missed. It was in a News Max article found here http://www.frontpagemag.com/. The relevant passage said, "Helping to cripple the FEC was the junior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, who placed a 'hold' ona Republican nominee in October 2007. That action had the effect of keeping the commission on the sidelines for the entire primary season." To me that looks like premeditation by a man who was already running for President. I think he was trying to avoid early and serious scrutiny by the commission so that his fraudulent fundraising effort would not be exposed before it was too late. What do you think?
