I googled the story. Looks like it could be pretty big. I'm concerned if he's been getting donations from the Muslim Brotherhood. I'll have to wait until Monday.
TY for posting.....

The Brotherhood isn't on Americas terrorist organization list. So why the concern?
I'm not going to debate my concerns with you. Suffice it to say, I have them.

Muslim Brotherhood officially Jamiat al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun [Arab.,=Society of Muslim Brothers], religious and political organization founded (1928) in Egypt by Hasan al-Banna.
Early opposed to secular tendencies in Islamic nations, the organization has sought to foster a return to the original precepts of the Qur'an.
It grew rapidly, establishing an educational, economic, military, and political infrastructure. Threatened by its power, Egypt's government twice banned (1948, 1954) the organization.
It has since existed largely as a clandestine but militant group, marked by its rejection of Western influences. The Muslim Brotherhood remains strong in Egypt, Syria, Sudan, and other Arab countries and has resorted to acts of political violence.
It was permitted to operate openly in Egypt in the late 1980s and early 90s after disavowing violence in the 1970s, but the government again moved against the group beginning in the mid-1990s. Members have been elected to Egypt's parliament as independents, and in 2005 candidates linked to the group won a fifth of the seats in parliament, a record.
In Jordan the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, the Islamic Action Front, is an important opposition party.
The Muslim Brotherhood has given rise to a number of more militant and violent organizations, such as Hamas, Gama'a al-Islamiya, and Islamic Jihad.

Didn't Obama aid them in getting to where they are today? Any foreign aid sent to Egypt, to be "donated" back for Obama's reelection sounds a lot like money laundering.
Would be interesting.

How about this from Breitbart? It says about 50% of Obama's donations are under the trackable limit of $50

So does it make sense that they would turn around and give it back to us in the form of a donation?
Sorry but that is a great big resonding NO.

There may also be a Russian connection to this...as in, Barack thinking he was not being recorded telling Putin how he would be able to be 'much more flexible' on nuclear disarmament AFTER the election.
Certainly an incentive for potential state-sanctioned illegal campaign contributions to Obama's campaign.

So what? Romney received millions in donations from Israel and nothing was said about it. Either press charges on both of them or neither of them.
Well...there you go making sense again. Don't you know that Obama is scarier because he's black?
I have a feeling that we will never get past it.

Let's see...I'll send you 450 million and you dump 200 million of it into my reelection... sounds very Chicagoistic in a way....

Why won't you debate it? Are you afraid you'll come across as a racist?
I am just wondering, what does racism have to with it?
Muslims can be and are of any race.
