I’ll repeat, Why would you not want to cross check credit card numbers with addresses on file? Hmm.

- Campaign donors are entitled to their privacy? Nope.

- Addresses don’t matter all we want is their money? More honest but certainly not the only reason.

- We can collect amounts of under $200 from various credit cards in amounts that exceed legal limits ($2,300) for individuals and the contributions are virtually untraceable. Best yet we haven’t explicitly broken the law because we are not obligated to track contributions under $200.

File this as Exhibit 2A in the case against the MSM.

There is only one reason to deliberately choose to bypass those security processes, and that’s to facilitate fraud. Team Obama claims that they vet the donations after the fact, but that’s hogwash. It costs far more to do that than to screen for security codes and address verification up front, and everyone knows it. Obama counts on the fact that most of the fraud will fly under the radar of its victims, and the only cost they’ll incur is when they have to process refunds after getting a specific complaint.

This is a key, revelatory moment about Obama and his team.

Disabling security by de-linking the credit card number from the correct address makes the donations virtually untraceable. Why would you not want the addresses of your contributors??????

[...] Cheating and bullying are a way of life for Chicago Machine politics. Obama is the new front man for the Chicago Machine. John Dean, Bill Ayers, George Soros, ACORN, all know how to cheat and have no shame in trying to pull off a slimy victory in the name of their “cause”. For all of the fame and name of the Obama brand he couldn’t hold off Hillary over the last primaries. With all of the Media on his side and the billions of dollares behind him he has never tracked over 48% for any leangth of time. [...]
