WASHINGTON: The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.

RNC officials acknowledged Sunday that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama's campaign. Instead, the complaint is based largely on media reports, including one from a conservative Web site.

The complaint asks the Federal Elections Commission to audit Obama's campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters.

Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama's donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.

The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.

The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

4. Great Point !!!

But I'd jujitsu it like this...

Obama: "Well we've certainly had many small contributions from foreign countries. Iraq, Afghanistan, almost everywhere our troops are stationed."

5. and also ties into the unsavory likes of Rezko and Ayers. This is sick. We have so much

ammunition to use against McLame, all of it truth.

His backyard has more junk in it than a landfill. Time to hose it all down, frame the sleazebag into his own picture of corruption, dishonor and questionable associations and go for it!!

It's time for some strong DNC and 527 action!!
