1. Interesting

I've heard of two people on the list. Rahm Emmanuel's brother Ari and Jeff Katzenberg of DreamWorks fame.

2. Why is UK listed as a State? I thought foreign money was illegal. Is this list legit?

3. Could be an American who lives there n/t

6. Maybe not foreign money

There are plenty of Americans living/working in the UK, so if a fundraiser can get some of their money, is it illegal?

Hopefully, it's not money coming from BP.

:hi:

8. Sounds like she's the campaign's point person in the UK

And her job is to rally the expat vote in Britain. At least that's the impression I got from this UK article from the primaries:

13. Thanks for the amplification. n/t

4. Why are people unreccing this? It comes straight from Obama's reelection campaign

Are people against Obama's campaign reporting donations on their own website?

5. As is clearly evident here, some people are against anything Obama does.

I suspect they are the unrec'rs.

7. Well, I am a Proud Firebagger but I do applaud campaign transparency laws and I appreciate

that the Obama campaign posts donors on their own site.

9. I think they were required to make something public by midnight last night

There was something about this on NPR a few days ago.

11. I don't think they have to post it on their own website, though.

[RZM]

12. Yeah I'm sure they don't

Anybody could get the list, but it would take a little time and effort. This makes it a snap and I agree it's the right thing to do.

10. Edit

Nevermind.
