Obama Accepts Foreign Donation From UK

(Daily Caller) President Barack Obama’s online donation site has accepted illegal donations from a foreign citizen, while Gov. Mitt Romney’s site rejected a donation from the same man, according to a New York Post article.

Jon McCain deputies ensured their website rejected the money from unidentifiable donors.
