3,000 Obama Donations Questioned Due to Fictitious Donor Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------

contributions represent a tiny fraction of the record $450 million Obama
has raised, the paper reports the questionable donations raise concerns
about whether the Obama campaign is adequately vetting its unprecedented
flood of donors.
