Obama.com owned by bundler with ties to Chinese Gov

Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer released a new 108-page GAI investigation into the threat of foreign and fraudulent Internet donations in U.S. federal elections. 

Breitbart News obtained an advance copy of the bombshell report which
reveals that the Obama.com website is not owned by the president’s
campaign but rather by Obama bundler Robert Roche, a U.S. citizen living
in Shanghai, China. Roche is the chairman of a Chinese infomercial
company, Acorn International, with ties to state-controlled banks that
allow it to “gain revenue through credit card transactions with Chinese
banks.”

There’s more.

The unusual Obama.com website redirects traffic directly to a donation page on the Obama campaign’s official website, my.barackobama.com, which does not require donors to enter their credit card security code (known as the CVV code), thereby increasing the likelihood of foreign or fraudulent donations. The website is managed by a small web development firm, Wicked Global, in Maine. One of Wicked Global’s employees, Greg Dorr, lists on his LinkedIn page his additional employment with Peace Action Maine and Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights. According to the GAI report, 68 percent of all Internet traffic to Obama.com comes from foreign visitors.

And still more.

In 2011, Mr. Roche obtained one of the most sought-after pieces of real estate in Washington, DC: a seat at the head table for President Obama’s State Dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao. How Roche—a man whose infomercial company hawks fitness equipment, cell phones, and breast enhancement products—landed a seat alongside Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, Sen. John Kerry, former President Jimmy Carter, and Chinese President Hu Jintao remains unclear.  

Since 2009, White House Visitor Logs list the name Robert Roche at least 19 times, despite the fact Mr. Roche’s primary residence is in China.  

Mr. Roche, who is originally from Chicago, is a co-chair of the Technology Initiative for the Obama campaign.
