China Reportedly Just Cracked Down on Obama.com

Oct. 25, 2012 1:38pm Becket Adams

The Obama campaign’s donation site “appears to [have been] built with an uncharacteristic lack of security where foreign donations are concerned,” TheBlaze’s Mytheos Holt reported earlier this month, allowing for the independently owned Obama.com to possibly solicit millions in foreign campaign contributions.

The campaign’s official website does not require visitors wishing to make a donation to provide their CCV number (the 3-4 digit code that appears on the back of most credit cards).

Now considering the fact that these unique codes can be used to indicate the location of the cardholder and the fact that Obama.com, which redirects users to the Obama campaign’s donation site, receives approximately 68 percent of its traffic from web addresses outside the U.S., according to a recent Government Accountability Institute report, it’s easy to see why some suspect the Obama campaign of illegally raising funds from foreign sources.

But now it seems the eyebrow-raising Obama.com has run into some trouble — with the Chinese.

“The Chinese government has blocked access to a Web site used as a conduit for donations to President Obama’s re-election,” according to a new report from The Post.

“The action comes following a report in Sunday’s Post that the Obama.com site had been registered to Robert Roche, an Obama campaign bundler who lives and works in China,” the report adds.

Oddly enough, the name of the company Roche chairs in Shanghai is Acorn International (no, it’s not what you think. It’s just an infomercial group).

“It’s a shocking revelation that the Chinese government wants to do something that the Obama campaign wouldn’t do. They’re more sensitive to American sovereignty and campaign-finance law than the Obama campaign,” GAI founder and co-chairman Steve Bannon told The Post.

But let’s back up for a second. Is it really that simple for a website owned by a U.S. businessman living in Shanghai to solicit foreign donations?

You’d be surprised.

Ok, I’m thinking this thru a moment. First, Obama needs to further exposed on accepting foreign donations. That in itself is disturbing, but not surprising. However, it is most interesting to notice that China does not want anyone from their country to donate to this guy. I thought China was Obama’s big friend with all those White House invites and the changing of the colors at the empire state building to celebrate their anniversary and all. hmmm

  China sees the writeing on the wall. If we go under we won’t pay back the money we owe, but they are really afraid they will lose their best customer. If they lose us as a customer half of the workers in China will be without a job.Our kids over here have every Apple I-phone (1-4) and I-PadsAny thing electronic and all those Nikis – Good grief do we make anything?

  Maybe China wants the money back they lent Obama for his rampant spending spree. Maybe they are smart enough to know that if Obama gets 4-more years, the US economy will crash & any chance of getting their money back will be lost. Even the bartender eventually realizes not to give a drunk another drink.
  
  I want to know why the government is not shutting Obama.com down for lack of security & probable campaign finance crimes.

You know darn good and well Obama knows all about this, and it was a trick probably used in the 2008 campaign, but never acted upon. I’m telling you, Obama and his entire administration need to be jailed for treason! In my sixty odd years, I’ve never heard of such illegal nonsense and the activities Obama has gotten away with.
Further more, I’d like to know why Congress has allowed this nonsense to go this far? What is wrong with lawmakers who can see very plainly that what happened in Libya was due to the lack of concern by the Obama Administration. He may have made a short and sweet speech in the Rose Garden, but his **** was on Air Force 1, just after that heading to Las Vegas to campaign and play. He was no more concerned about our Ambassador, or his poor security men, then the man in the frigging moon. He’s the sorriest excuse for a president then I’ve every encountered. Obama should be thankful it wasn’t him who was dragged through the streets as was Chris. My heart and soul goes out to Chris’s family, and I’m tired of looking at Hillary’s quirky smiles when it comes to her staying or leaving politics. Personally, I wish the woman would bow out and leave the USA alone. She’s just as crooked as the entire Obama Administration. She’s done nothing to make us proud. I think the liberals have pushed much too far in four years. If Mitt is elected, and I pray he will be, he’ll have a great deal of clean up. We’re tired of the struggles and lies!

  All of us complaining about O-bomb-o and complaining about this and complaining about that, but who among you has actually done anything to get something done about all of this. Have any of you written to or emailed or telephoned your representatives? Contact your Senators and your Congressmen. If you don’t act they won’t either. They are all too comfy-cozy in their lives to make any waves unless of course they think their livelyhoods are being threatened. Some of those Senators and Congressmen come up for re-election this time around. It isn’t to late to impress them with your dissatisfaction of what is going on. Contact them now. Stop what you are doing and contact them right this minute. Yesterday I voted and my Congressman is up for re-election. I did vote for him again but I also then sent him an email asking what is being done about (any) of this crap and telling him not to disappoint me. These guys work for us. WE are the reason THEY are there. To repeat an old Bill Cosby laugh-line; “WE brought them into this world and WE CAN TAKE THEM OUT”. There is nothing wrong with expecting them to do their jobs. Contact Boehner also and give him something to cry about. THIS IS NUTS AND MUST BE STOPPED!
  
  EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW!! Don’t put it off, there are just a few days remaining before the election and then it will be Christmas break and they will all be gone again.

  Right on! GM is alive and Osama is dead and I called that play is Obozo’s campaign slogan.
  
  It’s about the Video. It’s about the video. This is bunch of good folks that had the peaceful religion insulted by the video.
  
  In reality, here are three Islamic Terrorist Attacks that have occurred on US soil that Obozo and Eric Ronald McDonald Holder have conveniently classified each of the following as anything but Islamic Terrorist. 1) An American Citizen who had been recruited by Al Qaeda in Yemen had traveled to Yemen for terrorist training, and the sent back to the states to kill our Beloved Military and Bomb Churches was successful in Killing an Army Private and near Critically wounding another Army Private. Obozo will not award a Purple Heart to the Family and will not classify as a terrorist act.
  2) Fort Hood Terrorist – Classified has a disgruntled work place violence participant. Yelled Allah Akbar, in contact with Al Waki, communicated with Al Qaeda on a regular basis, while the ridiculous PC justice dept was aware……. NOT on Obozo’s watch. Not Terrorist. 2) Benghazi Libya, Ambassador Stevens is rapped killed and the Embassy is burned down to the ground by form Guantanamo Terrorist. Not Terrorist. It’s the result of a Video that no one has ever seen. The video was Obozo’s It was Bushes fault. Obozo has had more terrorist attacks on US soil than any other President, but thanks to the Clown Factory that is the Bozo Administration….Non are

  SNOW, You are spot on regarding number one. But, I am not so certain on number two. There are just too many here in this nation who want that fundamental change that 0bama has been doing, and others who will vote for his skin color regardless of what he is doing. I heard one on TV this morning, while complaining about high gas prices while she was in line, but claimed that she was voting for 0bama regardless.

  BODYBAG, I certainly hope that you are right. I know that some of the polls are showing this as a close race which surprises me. In the past so many of the polls have shown the Dem in the lead and so heavily at that. Then the Republican wins. Then sometimes the Dem wins too. I know not to trust polls, period. What really concerns me are the voting methods open today, and Obama put out a memo just today saying that he is going to be the very first sitting president to benefit from the now available early voting. When I caught that, it just sounded as if he was too confident. But, by God, I hope and pray that you are right.
