A Third Gaza Strip Brother and The FEC Says “Hi” To Obama

The The Real Barack Obama has a hot follow-up story I just couldn’t resist stealing.

Last week we saw where Monir and Hosam Edwan,  two brothers from a Hamas Compound in the Gaza Strip, who claimed to be lving in the non-existent town of “Rafah, Georgia,” contributed between $24,000 and $33,500 ( moving-target sum) to the Obama campaign. 

Initially, the two  jihadists brothers claimed that they bought T-Shirts from Obama’s website.

Then the Obama campaign claimed they returned the money to the Edwan brothers and forgot to report it to the FEC.

Then the Hamas-Sycophants Edwan brothers declared that they never received any refund from the Obama campaign at all. 

As skunky as that all sounded, there is yet more. It seems there is a third brother, Osama Edwan,  who contributed to Obama’s campaign as well.  He also disclosed that he is from the non-existent town of “Rafah, Georgia”.

There’s still more to this story. I would say that the FEC wasn’t asleep over the donations of Monir and Hosam Edwan. So I don’t imagine an inquiry into Osama Edwan can be far behind.  No doubt the Obama campaign will say they ‘refunded’ the contributions but “forgot” to report the entire affair to the FEC due to a “glitch”. After all, that’s what they claimed happened with Monir and Hosam Edwan’s contributions.

That  Obama “technical glitch” sure seems to be an ongoing problem. It appears that the “technical glitch” the Obama campaign claims kept them from reporting  that they “refunded” these illegal donations  to the FEC occurred not once, but twice. The campaign didn’t report the “refunds” in their end of year report. But they also had a second formal oppotunity  to correct their “glitch” via a response to a direct FEC inquiry–and they failed to do so.

 Today, the Obama Report writes that Pamela Geller, who provides copies of the documents at Atlas Shrugs, discovered that

“… the FEC had sent two letters to the Obama campaign seeking additional information regarding contributions it received that appeared to exceed the $2300 legal limit.

Among those questionable contributions, were donations from Monir and Hosam Edwan.The Obama campaign responded to the first letter in May 2008, but apparently the FEC was not satisfied with its response and sent out a second letter to the Obama campaign on July 30,2008 requesting additional information for sixteen pages of questionable contributions, including several of Monir Edwan’s contributions.

So apparently, the Obama campaign failed to tell the FEC about the refunded money both in its original FEC report and in its response to the FEC’s letter in May of 2008 (5 months after they allegedly returned the money). Otherwise, the FEC would have had no reason to further question them about these donations in its follow up letter (in July) – which makes the Obama campaign’s claim – that it returned their donations in December – all the more difficult to swallow.”

You can see the two FEC letters to the Obama campaign here and here. You certainly won’t get to see them on MSNBC or CNN.

So what about these contributions, Barky? I mean they are illegal and you know it. So if you “refunded” this money, how come you didn’t say so in writing to the FEC. Just asking. We’re also looking forward to reading your August 29th deadline response to the second FEC inquiry.  I mean, when two terrorist sympathizers in Palestine start to look more honest that you look, it doesn’t bode well for a man who wants to be the President of the United States. You know what they say about three strikes, right?
