They sure did - but this was pocket change compared to what the muslim terrorists donated to Hussain Obama. The terrorists in Teheran, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Dubai fronted FIVE BILLION (with a 'B') DOLLARS in order to buy the White House. This was an offer that Hussain Obama couldn't refuse. The terrorists are patient - they are waiting for big returns. Why do you suppose he changed his name ? Hussain is not even a legal citizen of the United States.

Pay-to-Play, that's our Messiah! Tony Rezko had given and raised in excess of $250,000 in contributions for Barack Obama's campaigns over the years, a number TRIPLE the amount Obama had publicly acknowleged prior to the trial... where his memory instantly improved once under-oath. Rezko was nothing less than a political godfather to both Rod Blagojevich and Obama, facilitating their ascensions in Illinois politics. Rezko was also appointed by Obama to serve on his U.S. Senate campaign finance committee, where he raised more than $14 million, helping send Obama to Washington in 2004. And Barack Obama was a primary force in getting city and state money approved for Rezko to build and maintain "affordable housing" in Obama’s district... similar to the programs he's now planning on a massive scale for the entire country, as US President. Scandalously, many of Rezko's projects in Chicago are infamous for being uninhabitible, due to substandard work and a negligent maintainance. People freeze in the winter, plumbing leaks, and a 3 year old boy was even crushed to death by shoddy construction. For more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in one of these government-subsidized apartment buildings on Chicago's South Side. It was just four years after the landlords... Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru... had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers. While Rezko and Mahru couldn't seem to find money to get the heat back on, their company, Rezmar Corp., continued to receive city and state funding... even as earlier projects fell into disrepair and financial troubles. The company also somehow managed to come-up-with continuing donations for the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator... whose district included the unheated building. In fact, eleven of Rezko's buildings were in Obama's state Senate district. In this diminutive area, where anyone could walk around and in one day get a basic knowlege of all major residential zones, Obama later stated that he was "unaware" of the conditions at slumlord Rezko's projects... the very ones he had worked enthusiastically to fund with government subsidies. For anyone who believes he wasn't playing ball with Blago, please explain what Blago's pepes meant on the tapes, and where they heard it from, when they said Obama had to "suck it up" for a couple years. Temporarily refrain from lying, stealing, and racketeering... Chicago Machine style? You might as well of elected John Gotti president... at least he wasn't a fake like this arrogant worm. http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot...

so what? They were contributing to the person they felt they wanted to win- I don't suspect the republican appointees did so however- and they managed to be hired too. The time has come for limited contributions anyway - each candidate should be allwed a limit overall and that is it - no one able to out media the other- each given "X" amount to work with. The Ameircan public a so fickle though - they THRIVE on the campaign crap and bend with the wind. scary stuff really.

How ridiculous!$4,600 is chump change. Compare to Halliburton, Blackwater contracts and the billions of taxpayer dollars that vanished in Iraq.

4,600 is in fact chump change. Every penny given to Obama that helped get the currently entrenched and incompetent administration out of Washington was well spent. All we would have received had McCain been elected was a new leader with the same boneheads that created the current mess. For the sore loser conspiracy theorists that still insist that Obama is not a citizen and that he was raised to power on the shoulders of Muslim political donations all I have to say is, what sad tiny little miserable lives you much have. Real Americans have a huge job to do to repair the damage caused by the current administration. United we stand after the divider made us fall.

Only $53,000 from his Cabinet and his staff??? That's cheap! Considering the millions Obama received from average Americans via the Internet,$53,000 is a pittance. Another nothing story.

Gotti couldn't hold a candle to Reagan as an arms smuggler. If only Oliver North would tell the truth. But Gotti is dead. Same as Reagan. And same as Reaganism.

Can we use the $5 Billion to pay down our $11.3 TRILLION of Bush debt?

Of course they donated to him. Why is this news? The same thing would have been true of McCain. That's what politicians do -- donate money to fund the campaign of the person they want in the White House. And if you think about it,$53,000 is not that much money. Take it away and he still wiped McCain's floor with donations. This has been going on for decades. How sad this was deemed "newsworthy." Merry Christmas to EVERYONE.

The terrorists have figured a way to ruin the country from within. They bought the white house and then they dropped an illegal OBOMBA on the country. The barak Obomba is loaded with socialist communist ideas. His ideas are going to cause the fall of this country.

Show me one non-editorial factual bit of proof from a legitimate source that connects Obama to the billions in terrorist donations he "bought the white house" with. Put up or shut up. Do you know the difference between rumor and facts?
