Scott Johnson of Power Line Blog has written an article for The New York Post detailing his findings on the lack of security controls on credit card donations to the Obama campaign. The controls that were lacking on the Obama website were not lacking on either the McCain or Hillary Clinton website. Noted in the article--
"According to journalist Kenneth Timmerman, the Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently - in contrast not just with McCain but also with Hillary Clinton. Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign required US citizens living abroad to fax copies of their passports before it would accept donations. By contrast, foreign donors to Obama can just use credit cards and false addresses."
Unfortunately, if Barack Obama is elected, this type of fraud will not be investigated and will probably become a standard feature of some future campaigns. Does anyone actually believe that if Barack Obama is elected, the investigation of Tony Rezko, ACORN, and the Chicago political machine will be allowed to continue? These are things we all need to consider.
