First, let me say I am reluctant to post this because even though I've been reading this forum daily for a long while, this represents my first post. I know that message board decorum usually suggests that one should first participate on a board by commenting on others' postings before starting a post, but I think this is an important subject.

As explained in this article (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/08/Obama-com-Owned-by-Bundler-in-China-with-Business-Ties-to-Chinese-Government), there is a new report released by the Government Accountability Institute (http://g-a-i.org/) which shows just how potentially corrupt the fundraising activities of certain campaigns may be.

I haven't read the actual full report yet (http://campaignfundingrisks.com/wp-content/themes/cfr/images/AmericaTheVulnerable.pdf), but I've read 3-4 articles which describe its contents. Here are the key findings of the report (http://campaignfundingrisks.com/key-findings/).

I suspect the MSM will handle this the same way it did the ACORN scandal, either not very well or not at all. In this case, the media may give this report a little attention because the report includes problems on both sides of the aisle.

If this posting represents a breach in board decorum, I offer my apologies in advance.

I don't think there's any breach of decorum. More than happy to have fellow cat fans join us in whatever fashion works from just reading to posting.

Very interesting. I'll be curious as well how this is treated in the media and seen by voters. The fact that he's been at the White House 19 times is what most raises my eyebrow by showing a positive connection that makes the "I have no idea who you're talking about" denial less persuasive. That's a favorite of politicians everywhere.

Welcome aboard, great first post to get started.

I have been hearing about these 'donations' for a day or so on Fox as they have been after it.

And what a name for his company, ACORN. ahem.

Only way MSM brings this up is if Romney/Ryan go hard after it, especially in the VP debate where I hope Ryan brings it out full force. They can't hide from this, no CCV code given. how dumb can they really get, did they actually think they could hide this? In todays age of information.

That 19 times also raised a brow for me Citizen, direct link to the man, can't say they don't know who he is.
