Original Blog Entry: Osama bin Laden Donates to Barack Obama Re-election Campaign

Article partially quoted below. They have screen shots of the donation at the link along with information on other illegal campaign donations accepted easily by the Obama re-election campaign. Me thinks the Obama campaign has a lot of explaining to do. (not that the MSM would cover it or anything)

http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/obama-accepts-osama-bin-laden-donations/

WASHINGTON Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol and proxy server, a disposable credit card and a fake address, Osama bin Laden has successfully donated twice to Barack Obama s presidential re-election campaign.

The Bin Laden donations, actually made by WND staff, included a listed occupation of deceased terror chief and a stated employer of al-Qaida.

Bin Laden is currently set up on the official campaign website to contribute more to Obama s campaign. The name is also registered as a volunteer.

Since the foreign contribution was sent, Bin Laden s email address has received several solicitations from Obama s campaign asking for more donations.

The apparently foreign-based contributions were conducted as a test after a flurry of media reports described the ability of foreigners to donate to the Obama campaign but not to Mitt Romney s site, which has placed safeguards against such efforts.

The acceptance of foreign contributions is strictly illegal under U.S. campaign finance law.

One $15 donation was made at BarackObama.com using a confirmed Pakistani IP address and proxy server. In other words, as far as the campaign website was concerned, the donation was openly identified electronically as coming from Pakistan.

Upon clicking the donate button, WND staff selected the $15 amount and were taken to a page on the campaign website asking for a first and last name, city, state, zip code, email address and phone number.

The information submitted was: Osama bin Laden, 911 Jihad Way, Abbottabad, CA 91101.

While the website only has options for U.S. states and zip codes, there is no mechanism in place on Obama s website to verify the individual is actually located in that state or zip code, or even in the U.S.

The Obama campaign refuses to release the identification of donors who give less than $200

In the case of this donation, the 91101 zip code is real but corresponds to Pasadena, Calif., and not Abbottabad, the Pakistani city in which bin Laden was found holed up in a compound.

For a requested phone number, WND used the White House information line of (202) 456-2121.

The email address used to set up the donation account was osama4obama2012@gmail.com.

After clicking next, the website asked for an employer, occupation and a password to set up future donations. WND staff entered the occupation as deceased terror chief and the employer as al-Qaida.

The transaction was made last Friday with the use of a disposable credit card. The website did not require the card s security code.

The campaign website immediately accepted the contribution even though it was made from a Pakistani IP address and despite the nonexistent street name and city information.

An automated email was immediately sent from Rufus Gifford, national finance director of Obama for America, thanking Osama for the contribution. The email contained a note that said, There may be a minor delay in the processing of your contribution as it will be subject to review. However, Osama bin Laden s foreign donation evidently passed the Obama campaign s review.

As of today, the $15 was debited from the disposable card.

To test if the first donation was an oversight, a second donation of $5 was made the following day using the Bin Laden account and the same Pakistani IP address.

WND has received confirmation from the credit card company that the purchase went through and the $5 was deducted from the disposable card.

From the time of the first donation until today, the Obama campaign sent nine more emails to the bin Laden Gmail account soliciting more donations.

One email sent Saturday reads, Thanks so much for your donation of $5.00. Please take 10% off your next purchase of $10 or more at our online store.

Another, signed by Michelle Obama, was titled Barack is getting outraised.

You re one of the campaign s most committed supporters, Michelle Obama writes in the automated email to bin Laden.

Please make a donation of $19 or whatever you can today.

The donations from a Pakistani IP address are sure to raise further questions about the measures in place to block such donations.
