'A Wide Scale Problem for the Obama Campaign'

Obama's got some explaining to do. Of course, the media will largely ignore this and go back to making up stories about Sarah Palin.
The Republican National Committee is hosting a conference call right now outlining the Federal Election Commission complaint it will file Monday accusing the Obama campaign of taking contributions from foreign nationals who are banned by U.S. law from giving to U.S. federal candidates.
Good Will was unavailable for comment.

H/T Instapundit.

We're not talking chump change here either folks. As noted here, it could be well over $200 million in illegal foreign money.
More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won't disclose.

And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate.
Normally, this would disqualify a candidate, but the media doesn't want to go near it for the most part, and if they do, they'll call you racists for pointing it out.

Update: Remarkably, Newsweek notices this minor little problem of massive campaign fraud, which the RNC cites.
"When we were made aware of an ad for a Nigerians for Obama fundraiser in a Nigerian paper, our attorneys sent a letter to the paper making it clear the event had nothing to do with our campaign, and that we would not accept contributions from the event," one Obama aide said.
