Obama More Than Doubles McCain’s June $$ Haul; Pleads Huge Financial Disadvantage Using Wrong Numbers

Mmmm the BO campagin was confused it was 100 million for the RNC, not BO.
At least they got 1/2 the amount they boasted!
Puma gets my money these days, the DNC can go begging elsewhere.

Obama lied last week, he said he brought in 30 million.
Guess that FISA vote got the telecoms to contribute bigtime.
Wonder how his supporters feel about being LIED to ..

What I would like to know where all the money is coming from. People don’t have money for food and gas, but yet they can give this money to Obama?

trettione
“he lies, he said he brought in 30 million”
really then what is this official announcement…
there was no announcement of numbers last week
you people are ridiculous.

Let the facts speak for themselves. The truth here is self evident.

Obama never said he raised $30 million last month. It was REPORTED.

You know I really like this guy, and I think it’s high time that this country had a president that represented someone else other than the traditional white anglo-saxon upper class lawyers in the world. But that said, I have some questions on the real question of:
“Is Obama Legally Eligible to Serve as President in the US?”
REMEMBER WHEN SOME TIME AGO HILARY SAID SHE HAD SOMETHING ON OBAMA THAT WOULD CHANGE THE ELECTION AND THAT’S WHY SHE ONLY “SUSPENDED” HER QUEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY, WELL MAYBE THIS IS IT.
This came from a USNA alumnus. It will be interesting to see how the news media handles this one.
Barack Obama is not a legal U.S. natural-born citizen according to the laws on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24,
1952, to November 13, 1986.
Federal Law requires that the office of President requires a natural-born
citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents. This is what
exempts John McCain, though he was born in the US Panama Canal Zone.
US Law very clearly states: ‘If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen at the
time of one’s birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for
minimum ten years, five of which must be after the age of 16.’ Barack
Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen, that is a fact.
Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born.
This means even though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or a
citizen of Hawaii being a territory), his mother fails the test for
at-least-5-years-prior-to Barack Obama’s birth, but-after-age-16.
In essence, his Mother alone is not old enough to qualify her son for
automatic US Citizenship. At most, 2 years elapsed from his mother turning
16 to the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18. His mother would
have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at the time of Barack Obama’s
birth for him to be a natural-born citizen. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at the time his mother would have needed to be, to allow him natural
citizenship from his only U.S. Citizen parent. Obama should have been
naturalized as a citizen…but that would disqualify him from holding the
office.
The Constitution clearly declares: Naturalized citizens are ineligible to
hold the office of President.
Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, any other information does not matter because his mother is not the one who must fulfill the requirement to be a US. Citizen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16.
Further, Obama would have had to have remained in the USA for some time
frame to protect any citizenship he might have had, rather than living in
Indonesia.
This is very clear cut and a glaring violation of US Election law. I think
that Governor Schwarzenegger of California should be very interested in
discovering if Obama is allowed to be elected President without being a
natural-born US Citizen, since this would set a precedent.
Personally I would love to see the media investigate this to see if it’s a myth or if it holds water.

My former Hillary money is going to McCain. Never trusted Obama.
I’m sure telecom giants indirectly rewarded Obama for his FISA vote.
Kind of obvious Obama is trying to buy the presidency.

It’s as if America is in a trance. Why are you sending this idiot your money?

Wow, 52 million to a guy with no experience, no accomplishments and no good ideas for a job that pays 400K a year. Sorry Obama, I can’t give you a dime. All my money is going to oil companies because of air heads like you who think higher taxes are the only answer and we can all run our cars on kryptonite. Consider Jimmy Carter for VP, you think alike.

“52 million to a guy with no experience, no accomplishments and no good ideas for a job that pays 400K a year.”
You obviously aren’t paying attention. What does John McCain have? POW? What else? Nothin.

Although under jimmy carter we were never in this much mess like how the current neo-cons have us under,billions on a uncalled for war , record job losses , homes forclosures.
come to think of it jimmy carter is looking better by the minute.

Craig Faris – your facts are seriously skewed.

jimmy carter looks WAY better than George Bush.
JOhn McCain is George Bush…with more of an aggressive military stance and less of a business background…
how scary is that!

Now pay strict attention, because I’m only going to explain this once: Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen of the United States and therefore eligible to become president? The answer is yes, according to Ron Gotcher, a noted California immigration lawyer.
“The confusion,” Gotcher writes, “is over the concepts of jus sanguinis and jus soli.” Under jus sanguinis, a person’s citizenship is transmitted “by the blood” – by inheritance from his or her parents or grandparents. In the United States, we recognize citizenship through parentage in a number of cases.
But it is not necessary to look to the statutes that deal with citizenship through jus sanguinis, since Senator Obama’s citizenship derives from jus soli – citizenship through place of birth.
According to Gotcher, “The Fourteenth Amendment commands that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States , and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
“This was clarified by the Civil Rights Act of April 9, 1866, which provided that ‘All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power are declared to be citizens of the United States.’”
“Senator Obama was born in the State of Hawaii two years after it became a state on Aug.21, 1959 As such, he acquired United States citizenship automatically at birth. While it is not necessary to go into all of the other legal errors contained in the posting (and there are many), the simple fact is that, with rare exceptions (children of diplomats), everyone born in the United States is a citizen of the United States at birth.”
But what about the age of Obama’s mother? Remember jus soli–citizenship through place of birth? (c’mon–there IS going to be a quiz). In that case–which happens to be Obama’s case–the age of the parents has nothing to do with anything. Under jus soli even the children of illegal aliens are U.S. citizens at birth–just ask the pregnant women from Mexico near the end of their third trimester who try to sneak across the border in hopes their child will be born in a San Diego hospital and leave with a U.S. birth certificate clutched in his or her tiny hand.
Except for the children of diplomats, every child born in the U.S. is a natural-born U.S. citizen, period. The parents could be citizens themselves, could be from France, could be Coneheads. Nothing else matters. Only if the child is born OUTSIDE the United States to one citizen-parent does the issue of the parents’ age, citizenship, or whatever, come into play.
“All that matters is that the child is born here, ” Gotcher says. “This is the reason that you are hearing so much fuss in Congress about changing the law that grants ‘birthright citizenship.’” But even such a law, however unlikely to pass, would not be retroactive. If Barack Obama wins the presidential election he can begin choosing the furniture for the Oval Office without watching for immigration agents over his shoulder.

Just so you all know! McCain is in KC Mo this morning speaking in a packed house, free of charge and no tickets to see him. Guess you have to pay as you go with this other candidate.

Mark in LA – McCain is the KING of flip floppers, just last week he claimed to have voted on a bill when he wasn’t even present. He was ready to jump parties to be John Kerry’s VP. McCain is just like Yosemite Sam – a crazy old coot. Scary!

So, what the Obama campaign is basically saying is “Mine is bigger than yours.”

Randi – you seem very knowledgeable about Obama’s birth certificate. I have but one question and maybe you can answer it or maybe not. I have written the Obama Smear Website and have had no response. Why is the birth certificate shown on the website have the certification number blacked out. We cannot see the State Seal or registrar signature or date because they did not bleed through from the back side,although having compared a dozen now birth certificates from Hawaii it does seem strange as the seal comes through on all of them. What is shown is just a photo shop copy. With certainty the best way to know if he was born in the US is of course the certification number which will then tell us which hospital, doctor and so forth. Why is the Obama campaign not forthcoming with the certification number OR simply tell us which hospital he was born in, which would stop all of the questioning about his being a US citizen?

This amount though impressive is still far short of his boast of 100 million per month. It tells me that – once invested, people have a tendency to want to stay in for the eventual payoff.
It takes time to recognize that someone is tanking – and that no amount of money will make a difference. Obama is unelectable.

$52 + $22 MILLION = $74 MILLION
RECESSION??? WHAT RECESSION
THEN PEOPLE ARE NOT HURTING AS POLITICIANS WANT US TO BELIEVE.

Why is the Obama campaign not forthcoming with the certification number OR simply tell us which hospital he was born in, which would stop all of the questioning about his being a US citizen?

**************************************
Because he was not born in American, I truly believe that he was born in Kenya. School was over and Obama’s father went back to Kenya for the summer and brought his girlfirend (Obama’s mother) and he was born in Kenya during the month of August.
Axelrod and his whole team of deceivers, and their leader Barach Obama are pulling the wool over the eyes of Americans and having a good laugh at everyone.

Why in the world would Obama put a sensitive document on the web in its entirety to prove what’s already been researched by the powers that be? In all seriousness, do you truly think that an intelligent individual, even one that you imagine to be evil and conniving would throw his hat in the ring knowing that something as easily researched as his citizenship could knock him out? If you believe that, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Why not, John Sydney McCain has posted his birth certificate.
And his certificate even has signatures on it, and the paper is legitimate.
Obama’s birth certificate was suppose to be a photocopy of his certificate but it has been proven that it is not a true copy.
Randi do you think anyone would stay in a hateful, anti-American, anti-white church for 20 years would remain a member knowing that this fact would come out in the public domain. It does not matter that he has temporarily resigned from that church.

VOTER100 – well said. On that note, I’ve got a plane to catch. Besides, this forum reminds of that old adage – “Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.” : ) I guess I’ll stop annoying the pigs and board the plane…where the captain just walked by with an Obama ’08 sticker on his flight bag. Feels good.

What took the Obama campaign so long to release the June numbers? Usually they can’t wait to boast if it’s high. Something isn’t right about this. Journalists, if there are any real ones left, start looking into this. $68 donations do not add up to $50+ million.

YOU KNOW OBAMA sounds SO familiar I came from A 3ER WORLD COUNTRY USUALLY OUR POLITITIANS WHE THEY RUN FOR THE OFFICE IN THEIR CAMPAINS “TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR”_____ GET COMTRIBUTIONS FROM POOR PEOPLE THEN WHEN THEY GET ELECTED FAVOR THE RICH PEOPLE IS VERY SAD THAT THE NUMBER 1 COUNTRY IN WORLD CAN WE BE CONNER LIKE 3er world COUNTRY!

That’s the change, use money to buy presidency!
We will see the lesson sooner or later.
This money will be used to post AD for attacking our war hero, attacking the hard working Hillary, attacking the small town citizen.
The country is misled.

The Obama campaign is kicking butt and taking names.
I LOVE IT! :)
The media keeps reporting rumors and innuendo as truth when they have NO IDEA what is going on!
$52 million dollars in one month folks! Give it up – the OBAMA TRAIN is heading to the WHITE HOUSE!
ALL ABOARD!

a lot of people are donating to sen. obama because they realize that nearly eight years of republicans have brought our country to where it is today. donating to democrats will bring about the change this country so desperately needs. God bless America.

GOD BLESS OBAMA

My Friends,
CAN YOU SAY LANDSLIDE??? – J. MCcain

I will admit that Obama has no experience except being a community organizer, but i am sure he will learn on the job. I think he has made most of his mistakes while running aginst hillary.

So much for those that say Obama “has never run anything.” Like him or not he has run an extremely successful, nationwide campaign for President.

THE INEVITABLE – POTUS OBAMA
Karma – Isn’t it a beautiful thing?
OBAMA 08

corrie,
what feeling in 92? for WHO?

Michael,
McCan’t is BOOOORING!!! Don’t you get it?
They’d rather roll with a winner. That’s why everyone wants to get an opportunity to be apart of history in knowing that they’re documenting the build up to the most compelling US POTUS in a long time.
Duhhhh, get it NOW?
OBAMA 08

Anyone that believe McCain has a snowball chance in Hell of winning in November is kidding him/herself. The minute there’s a national audience where both these candidates are in the same place on the same stage it’s game over. McCain won’t have someone there to correct him when he makes a mistake.
When the question is asked, which of these two people would you prefer to represent this country on our behalf to the world? If you are honest with yourself, the answer should clearly be OBAMA!
We’ve suffered through 7 and a half years of incompetence in the white house. It will be refreshing to have someone there that can hold an intelligent conversation and not be laughed at every time he opens his mouth.
GO OBAMA, GO.

Michael,
Reality doesn’t process well with cynics.
Whether you’re pessimistically cynical or not, I have two approaches for you.
1 – OBAMA WILL BE POTUS…..It’s going to take more than magazine covers, lapel pins, thesis papers, Rev’s and White Priests to prevent it. McCain doesn’t have a chance.
2 – McCain as POTUS – Donkeys are incapable or winning thoroughbred horse races.
Try reality Mike. Santa Claus isn’t coming to town for you this election grasshoppa.
OBAMA 08

So, the three major networks are sending their news anchors overseas with obama. Mcain has had 3 trips overseas and only the correspondents were sent,cbs opted out alltogether. Hmmmm, fair and balanced?

That’s because no one in the nations McCain visited cared. Obama will attract huge crowds there and that is news.

Cindy,

Sweetie, it’s not going to be pretty for you when the lights come on.
I feel for you, but you’ll get over it.
OBAMA 08

All that money and Obama still can’t get a decent lead in the polls.
Evidently some voters care more about a candidate’s experience and integrity than his wallet.
McCain08

Nader, McCain, McKinney–all better qualified than Obama.
But Obama supporters can brag about Obama’s 143 days in the Senate and his tough stance–voting “present” 129 times.

Cindy,
History will be made just on 143 Days in the Senate. Who is he?
THEN HE WILL BE POTUS. Who is he?
Or…..Being in the Senate for 30 years and accomplishing nothing. Who is he?
Boring and predictable. Who is he?
Silly cynics, tricks are for kids.
POTUS OBAMA

Eyes Open,
Why doesn’t Hillary give you back your money that she mismanaged?
All 30 million……
Err, could you send more to help her with the debt?
I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME RO…..errrr SQUEAL!
Where are they now?
OBAMA 08

obama for never:
” Look at Pennsylvania; we spent 3 times as much money as Hillary and lost by over 10 points.”
Right!
Come on B O Plenty fans…..

Yes, EYES CLOSED SHUT.
We elitists have plenty of money to give to our most prized candidate.
That’s why we’re going to the WHITE HOUSE!
Can’t stop it, can you?
WHINING IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE TOOL. Hee Hee
OBAMA 08 – THE INEVITABLE

“Nader, McCain, McKinney–all better qualified than Obama.”
PLUS: no John Kerry factor.

Norma Duffy, you wrote: “At least my 68.00 went to Obama who will keep our money in our pocket for a while.”
I guess you haven’t heard that we send $300 Billion per year overseas to pay for foreign oil. Sen. Obama is against additional drilling and building additional refineries so that we can lower our dependency of foreign oil and keeping more of our money here at home. Instead he is only in favor of cutting our demand of oil, which will take 20 years under his plan. Therefore under a President Obama that price tag will go up even higher! So much for keeping our money at home!!

… btw, Ms. J. Hussein, I am college-educated (BS & MS), have a good job and a nice home. I don’t believe that the Dems in general, nor Obama specifically, support the policies that are in my best interest, including increased government spending on welfare, affirmative action, unfettered and unregulated immigration, prolonged dependence on foreign oil and a weak stance on our national security which our enemies understand will be more negotiation with no teeth. I am not interested in living in a socialistic, welfare state.

” Sen. Obama is against additional drilling and building additional refineries so that we can lower our dependency of foreign oil ”
I don’t quite understand how drilling HERE would increase our dependency on foreign oil…
Does anyone (except Obama)?

Between the ears, additional drilling here would lower our dependency for foreign oil. The more domestic oil we produce the less foreign oil we need.

********************
Osama is stupid or wants to bankrupt america. letting oil prices rise out of control for 15 years while he builds a windmill is the hight of kindergarden day dreams. we need all the energy we can get as fast as possible. we must work on all energy at the same time as fast as possible. this means drill, refineery, nuclear, clean coal and all kinds of green energy. Immediately and as fast as possible on ALL of them. McCain wants to do it all. Obama wants to look at windmills and do nothing else.

All this money they are raising, both parties, would be better spent on the poor and sick. Instead the parties use it to try to make the other look worse than themselves. Unfortunately, all the blind political sheep (yes most of the poeple here included) are going to play that game, point at the other side and declare foul. If these peopel would spend it where it was needed, or at least to show what good they could do, I haven’t heard that from either side, that would earn my vote.
In the mean time, they spend it on blame games and declaring, usually falsly, their own innnocence and goodness, and lead everyone around through the smoke.
Open your eyes people, they don’t care. They want you to be blind and confused to keep you from seeing that all they care about is their respective Party and filling thier pockets.

One question I have is whether the Obama campaign is properly reporting all of its small contributors.
From what I have read, the presidential campaigns only need to report the identity of contributors who donate more $200 or more. So, if you give $199, you are not reported. However, what about contributors (like many who have posted comments here) who give multiple small donations. At some point, their total contributions may exceed $200. Is the Obama campaign keeping track and reporting these contributors?
Of course, the FEC is unable to muster a quorum since the Democrat controlled Senate refuses to vote on the President’s nominees. So, Obama could be violating the law right and left and there will be no one that the McCain camp can report this to.
I know that someone is going to raise the issue about the McCain campaign loans. That issue would be cleared up (and McCain cleared of any wrongdoing) IF the FEC could meet…but I guess the Dems don’t WANT the FEC to meet for just that reason.
