		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Riddle me this: If the worry is that Hsu was using at least some of these people as fronts so that he could exceed the federal limits on how much he could donate to Hillary, then how will the money be any less tainted if they re-gift it to her? I.e., if Hsu cuts John Doe a check for $100,000 and asks him to spread it around among Democrats A-Z, then giving that money back to John so that he can give it right back to you doesn’t “cleanse” it. It’s Hsu’s money; John never should have had it in the first place.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly what I&#039;ve been thinking since I heard this... lucky for Hillary, you and I don&#039;t control the MSM... Hillary, so far, is in do real danger of this hurting her, because the public has absolutely no clue what&#039;s going on...  most don&#039;t even know about this Hsu character at all, and it will likely stay that way.</description>

		<description>Final posts of the night

Barak Obama would take candy from a baby

&lt;blockquote&gt;Barack Obama donations spark funding row
By Alex Spillius in Washington
Last Updated: 8:31pm BST 12/09/2007

Two children who cannot vote for another decade are at
the centre of a new row over political fundraising in
the US after it was revealed they had each &quot;donated&quot;
$4,600 (£2,300) to the campaign of presidential
hopeful Barack Obama.

Full coverage: US elections 2008
The money came from trust funds set up for Karis and
Matthew Mardirossian, aged seven and eight
respectively, by their parents, sparking accusations
that politically involved adults are using their
children&#039;s money to circumvent limits on individual
contributions.

A spokesman for Mr Obama said the campaign doesn&#039;t
&quot;accept money from anyone younger than 16&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Number two. Obama and Edwards got tainted bundled money. And kept it !

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/hsu-refund-pressures-clinton-rivals-2007-09-13.html

&lt;blockquote&gt;During his 2004 Senate campaign, Obama received tens
of thousands of dollars from Antoin Rezko, a Chicago
businessman who has since been indicted on charges of
extorting millions of dollars from investment firms
seeking business with a state-controlled teachers’
retirement fund. 

Rezko has also been indicted for a scheme to defraud a
company based in Bellevue, Wash., of several million
dollars. 

Obama’s Senate campaign also received thousands of
dollars from Rezko’s business partners. This year, his
presidential campaign has accepted nearly $10,000 from
Rezko’s associates. 

Rezko, by comparison, has not been convicted.
Furthermore, the Obama campaign said he has not
bundled contributions for them this election cycle.
Obama has acknowledged, however, that Rezko raised
tens of thousands of dollars for his 2004 Senate
campaign. 

Obama has returned some money given to him by Rezko
business associates, but not all such gifts. After
Rezko’s indictment, Obama gave to charity nearly
$12,000 that Rezko had contributed to his campaign
fund. But Obama told The Chicago Sun-Times that Rezko
had raised between $50,000 and $60,000 for his
campaign. 

 Obama has given away in total about $33,000 in
contributions from Rezko and his business associates,
according to a tally by The Chicago Tribune. He has
also kept tens of thousands of dollars in
contributions raised by Rezko or given by Rezko’s
associates. 

The Hill could not find any record of Obama returning
a $5,000 contribution to his Senate campaign from
Abdelhamid Chaib, who was sued for allegedly operating
fake businesses with Rezko. Nor does it appear that
Obama returned $3,000 given in the 2004 cycle by Imad
Almanaseer, a Rezko business associate named in a
corruption lawsuit involving a state health board that
led to federal kickback charges. 

Campaign records also show that Obama accepted nearly
$35,000 in contributions from donors identified in
various news reports as major investors in Rezko’s
business dealings. Obama gave at least $6,500 of that
total to charity.   

An Obama campaign aide said that these contributions
are not relevant to a discussion about presidential
fundraising in 2007 because they were made in a prior
campaign. 

“Tony Rezko didn’t raise money for our presidential
campaign, so this isn’t relevant,” said an Obama aide.

Nevertheless, business associates linked by media
reports to Rezko gave $8,000 to Obama’s presidential
campaign in the second quarter of this year, according
to campaign finance records. 

A federal grand jury indicted Fieger last month on
charges of conspiring to make $127,000 in illegal
contributions to Edwards’s 2004 presidential campaign,
obstructing justice and causing false statements. He
has pleaded not guilty.

A spokesman for the Edwards campaign acknowledged that
the events surrounding Hsu have set new standards for
presidential fundraising. He said, however, that the
campaign would give away donations only if Fieger is
found guilty.  &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

<p>Barak Obama would take candy from a baby</p>

<blockquote><p>Barack Obama donations spark funding row<br />
By Alex Spillius in Washington<br />
Last Updated: 8:31pm BST 12/09/2007</p>
<p>Two children who cannot vote for another decade are at<br />
the centre of a new row over political fundraising in<br />
the US after it was revealed they had each &#8220;donated&#8221;<br />
$4,600 (£2,300) to the campaign of presidential<br />
hopeful Barack Obama.</p>
<p>Full coverage: US elections 2008<br />
The money came from trust funds set up for Karis and<br />
Matthew Mardirossian, aged seven and eight<br />
respectively, by their parents, sparking accusations<br />
that politically involved adults are using their<br />
children&#8217;s money to circumvent limits on individual<br />
contributions.</p>
<p>A spokesman for Mr Obama said the campaign doesn&#8217;t<br />
&#8220;accept money from anyone younger than 16&#8243;.</p></blockquote>
<p>Number two. Obama and Edwards got tainted bundled money. And kept it !</p>

<blockquote><p>During his 2004 Senate campaign, Obama received tens<br />
of thousands of dollars from Antoin Rezko, a Chicago<br />
businessman who has since been indicted on charges of<br />
extorting millions of dollars from investment firms<br />
seeking business with a state-controlled teachers’<br />
retirement fund. </p>
<p>Rezko has also been indicted for a scheme to defraud a<br />
company based in Bellevue, Wash., of several million<br />
dollars. </p>
<p>Obama’s Senate campaign also received thousands of<br />
dollars from Rezko’s business partners. This year, his<br />
presidential campaign has accepted nearly $10,000 from<br />
Rezko’s associates. </p>
<p>Rezko, by comparison, has not been convicted.<br />
Furthermore, the Obama campaign said he has not<br />
bundled contributions for them this election cycle.<br />
Obama has acknowledged, however, that Rezko raised<br />
tens of thousands of dollars for his 2004 Senate<br />
campaign. </p>
<p>Obama has returned some money given to him by Rezko<br />
