Speaking of "betting on America,"and Obama's contempt of the law . . .

There is ample evidence that Barack Obama, and people under his supervision, committed at least one felony -- specifically, illegal gambling across state lines -- to fund his 2008 election campaign. Congress, meanwhile, found Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, in contempt
for refusal to testify about Operation Fast and Furious. Orchestration
of straw purchases of firearms, one of which resulted in the death of a
law enforcement officer, could easily be another felony.
The Obama Campaign's Numbers Racket
The general definition of a lottery
is an activity that includes (1) mandatory payment of consideration --
i.e., money -- as a condition of participation, (2) a prize -- i.e.,
anything of value, such as an expenses-paid trip, and (3) an element of
chance in the selection of the prize winners. It is against federal law
to conduct a lottery across state lines, and it is illegal in almost
every state to conduct an unauthorized or unlicensed lottery or other
gambling activity. This is true even in states like Nevada that are
famous for their (licensed) gambling establishments.
The
Obama campaign ran at least two such lotteries in 2007 and 2008 before
changing them to allow entry without a contribution. The change was the
direct result of complaints from a law enforcement agency. There is still a YouTube video
of Mr. Obama himself making a pitch for one of these lotteries, and
here is an e-mail from the Obama campaign with the relevant parts of the
full headers. IP address 70.42.50.185 still traces to Blue State
Digital, which was indeed the service provider for the Obama campaign. (This does not
mean that Blue State Digital was involved in any way with the alleged
illegal actions of the Obama campaign; it is, however, evidence that the
following e-mail came from the Obama campaign and was not circulated by
a malicious third party.) We have highlighted the three elements of a
lottery: payment of consideration, element of chance, and a prize of
value. We have also bolded evidence that the lottery was dishonest, and
that it cheated many of those who entered.
