On February 1, 2007, Barack Obama, through his Obama Exploratory
Committee, asked[1] the Federal Election Commission "whether, if Senator
Obama becomes a candidate, [may he] provisionally raise funds for the
general election but retain the option, upon nomination, of returning
these contributions and [accept] the public funds for which he would be
eligible as the Democratic Party's nominee."
Obama "used campaign donations generated by PACs and lobbyists to
bankroll the birth of his White House bid -- though he's banning that
money for his presidential 2008 race," Lynn Sweet re****ted[2] February
9, 2007, in the Chicago Sun-Times.
"Obama's conversion to a laudable higher standard does not negate that
money from sources he now disdains helped paved the way for his kickoff
in Springfield [Illinois] on Saturday [February 10, 2007].
"Obama has been raising campaign cash for two political pots -- Obama
2010 Inc., his Senate re-election committee, and the Hopefund, another
war chest. Obama, until his recent conversion on the eve of his
presidential run, took more than $1 million from political action
committees.
"An examination of disbursements from the two funds reveals how Obama
was able to use legal loopholes commonly used by other presidential
contenders to pay for White House testing-of-the-water expenses," Sweet
wrote.[3]

Obama fund-raisers hush-hush?
Handlers have little to say on big donor events

WA****NGTON -- Barack Obama's image managers don't want you to know about
most of the donor events he is headlining -- including one tonight in
Manhattan for Democratic elites where the top hosts have raised $100,000
each for Obama's White House bid.
Obama makes his second visit this week to New York -- Hillary Rodham
Clinton territory -- as his campaign insists you don't deserve to be
able to know where he is going to raise millions of dollars unless he or
his operatives feel in the mood.
In the span of about five hours Monday night, Obama appeared at small
events in Manhattan, and then he breakfasted with donors Tuesday morning.
Last Sunday, the Obama campaign wanted all of the stories to be about
his visit to Selma, Ala., to mark the anniversary of a historic voting
rights battle -- so there was no advance official disclosure that he was
flying to Boston from Alabama to scoop up campaign cash.
