President Obama's reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeablesources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.
Sources told 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."

Now, the excuse is that the DEM's didn't want Obama to appear too aggressive so it was the sttategy to dial it down for the debate. If that was their stategy it failed. Add that to the list of DEM failures.
All, I can do is laugh at posts such as this, any more.
Quoting chazmom01:Wow can not believe some of the response to these posts .You really think he has been a crook his whole life? Never have I seen more hate speech then on this site when it comes to President Obama. He has done a great job with what he has had to work with and the mess he has had to fix .Lets see Clinton had a surplus when he left office but when Bush got into office he got us into the mess we are into the day .Obama has had to spend his time working to clean up the mess republicans got us into with them saying on day one to make him a one term President. All you all do is blame him for the mess they got us into .So you all want to give it back to them .WOW really ladys.
Quoting gsprofval:This really isn't surprising, but I hope the real news does break.

While you guys are sitting here wondering if a as-yet-no-evidence-for campaign donation fraud story (which I highly doubt was the cause of Obama's poor performance, but as theories go, it's as valid as the next one, I suppose), the new jobs numbers are out.
Unemployment has fallen below 8%.
Still, many of the jobs the economy added last month were part time. The number of people with part-time jobs who wanted full-time work rose 7.5 percent to 8.6 million, the most since February 2009.
