Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama hid millions from view during 2008. Now he complains about the GOP but without a single piece of evidence. Go figure.

Editor's notes: Here is a story we pulled from our archives (September of 2008) that indicts the Obama campaign machine of the very things with which it is charging the GOP. Understand that the previous record for a given national campaign was around $340 million. Obama collected $770 million (McCain came in at 327 million dollars) PLUS another $500 million from such organizations as the AFL-CIO, SEIU, George Soros and his MoveOn.org and Media Matters. -- jds

Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity, campaign officials confirmed.

Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.

The Obama organization said its extensive review has ensured that the campaign has refunded any improper contributions, and noted that Federal Election Commission rules do not require front-end screening of donations. . . . . READ THE FULL STORY HERE >>>>

More notes: we offer this post as requisite reading for the following post and our expose' of a ThinkProgress(ive) article that is making the rounds on the internet and print media and is being used in Obama's speeches.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
