<b>Obama's $175,000 Donor?" </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->There have been a smattering of incidents reported in which people have seen credit card charges surface suggesting they donated to Barack Obama when they did not.
Now comes the story of Mary T. Biskup, of Manchester, Missouri. Biskup got a call recently from the Obama campaign, which was trying to figure out why she donated $174,800 to the campaign -- well over the contribution limit of $2,300.
The answer she gave them was simple. "That's an error."
Biskup, a retired insurance manager who occasionally submits recipes to the local paper, says someone used a credit card to donate the money in her name. No charges ever showed up on her credit card statement.
"We're not out a penny," Biskup said. "I gather that someone has hacked into something using other people's credit cards and putting my name on it."
Obama's campaign spotted the irregular donations,<b> more than 70 of which all arrived on the same day, </b>and aides to the senator said they refunded the money. The campaign began investigating immediately. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
