Most of Obama’s supporters seem to have conveniently forgotten that he promised to use public money if McCain did the same. Why did he do that? The suspiciously funded microdonations were too tempting.
If you’re looking for someone to clean up politics, Obama is not your man. Hint: McCain’s entire donor list is publicly available online.

Obama: It takes real work to turn fraud controls off
I operate a business where we are responsible for the online credit card processing and fraud security for thousands of online merchants accepting card payments over the internet.
I can tell you unequivocally, that every well-designed commercial online payment system is going to have the 3/4 digit code check AND the ZIP check turned ON by default.
Any merchant (Obama’s campaign in this case is a ‘merchant’) who is accepting payment without these checks had to actively go in and turn these checks OFF. This is easy to do and could probably be done with about 6 clicks in less than 2 minutes (un-checking the boxes that specify these safety checks and clicking ‘Save’). What’s much harder for most folks is making the decision to do this. Most merchants won’t make this decision because they want card holders to be protected.
Anybody who swipes at the pump knows that getting the billing zip right for an authorized purchaser is not hard at all. And it’s a great anti-fraud check.
What gets me about this is that Obama is telling all of us in advance how fantastically careless he intends to be with *your* money!
