Linked: Obama Campaign Website Set Up To Accept Fictitious Names!

Check this out. Looks like the Obama Campaign deliberately omitted standard safeguards to prevent donations under false names.

This simply should not, and could not, happen in any business or any campaign that is honestly trying to confirm the legitimacy of its donors. Furthermore, I don’t see how this could possibly happen without some kind of help from a credit card company. Card companies as a rule simply do not alow any business to process credit card transactions where the name on the card doesn’t match the purchaser’s name.

In short, under the current Obama contribution system setup, any eager friend from any country can contribute unlimited amounts of money by simply making up fake names and addresses.

And Obama’s system is set up to facilitate this fraud. This is truly scandalous.

Hi, thanks for picking the story up. Just want you to know I was the "author" for an NQ reader named Craig. He did all that work. I did nothing but post on his behalf as he is not an NQ author. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. I deserve none other than the fact that I hosted his story.
