Obama Keeping Promises Made to Homosexual Groups

President-elect Barack Obama is moving swiftly to appoint homosexual activists to positions within his administration.

Politico.com reports that 10 national homosexual organizations are working with the Obama transition team to get more openly homosexual people appointed to the incoming administration. Obama's transition team has also reportedly named at least seven openly homosexual people to transition panels assigned to review federal departments and agencies. Three of the seven homosexuals on transition panels have held high-level positions in the Clinton administration.

Matt Barber, director of cultural affairs with Liberty Counsel and Liberty Alliance Action, says Obama is keeping his promises to the homosexual lobby.

"Obama, throughout the campaign, signaled...very quietly, but nonetheless signaled on his web page and elsewhere that he essentially had signed off on every major demand of homosexual pressure groups," he said. "So it's not surprising that he has now allowed some of these radical activists to become part of his administration."

According to the Washington Blade, Obama officials also named President Bush's former ambassador to Romania, Michael Guest, to a transition panel assigned to review issues pertaining to the State Department.

Could Obama Be Getting Secret Foreign Donations?

From Traditional Values Coalition

$222.7 million in untraceable contributions

October 2, 2008 – Newsmax.com reporter Ken Timmerman has conducted an investigation into the strange donations being given to the Obama campaign – including questionable donations from foreign sources.

Most of the donations are under $200 – amounting to $222.7 million! Only $39.6 million comes from donors who must be identified.

Newsmax reviewed donations through the Federal Election Commission and analyzed 1.4 million individual donations. One of those odd donors was Mr. Good Will who made 1,000 separate donations, most of them for $25. In all, Will gave $17,375 to Obama’s campaign.

Another donor identified himself as Pro, Doodad, from Nando, New York. He gave $19,500 in 786 separate donations, most for $25.

Foreign donations have also poured into Obama’s campaign – 11,500 of them totaling $33.8 million. More than 250 listed IR (Iran) as the source. More than 1,400 were donations from U.S. diplomats or military personnel. Other donations, however, came from Abu Dhabi, Addis Ababa, Beijing, Fallujah, Florence, Italy and many towns in France.

Timmerman also noted: “In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign. “‘All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,’ the Libyan leader said. ‘They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency...’”

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked the Obama campaign to redesignate or refund 53,828 donations totaling under $30 million. None of this money, however, involves small donors – which involves nearly half of the $426.8 million the Obama campaign has raised to date.

There are FEC limits/prohibitions on what can be given by individuals, corporations and foreign nationals.

An analyst with the Federal Election Commission has asked for a formal investigation into Obama’s funny money trail.
