#2 Not at all surprising, tyrants, dictators, etc. Switzerland handled three-quarters of the Nazis' transactions during the war years, even after the Swiss knew of the Nazi extermination scheme.

#5 EU6305, yes there is. That is why the last paragraph in the article specifies that only US citizens can contribute.
Of course, if their European friends give money to the US citizens, who then give the money to George, who then gives the money to Obama ..., why, who is to know for certain where the money came from?

Yeah, there oughta be. We don't need a bunch of socialists or communists trying to sway our elections.

And frankly, WTH cares what a bunch of people who lie to themselves for a living (i.e. all actors and most lawyers) think?

#8 All those US citizens with passports gonna write checks from their Swiss bank accounts or they just gonna bring cash? Hmmmmm....I admit I didn't read that last sentence but it still smells funny.

#9 Blogger Atlas Shrugs has been looking in detail at Obama's campaign contributions in detail. Some US Citizens have given numerous times, money suspected to come to them from foreigners.

In other words:

Foreign money laundering...

#10 I don't think Clooney ever saw a liberal cause he didn't subscribe to.
