According to federal records, Abake Assongba and her husband, Anthony J.W. DeRosa, have donated over $50,000 to Obama’s campaign for re-election this year alone. While the big money New York donors are helping fund Obama’s bid for re-election, they’re also busy fending off a civil court case in the state of Florida in which Abake has been accused of stealing over $650,000. The money allegedly went towards building a multimillion dollar Florida home.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

GOP Operative Indicted For Stealing Bloomberg's Money
2010_06_haggert.jpg Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance announced that Republican operative John Haggerty was indicted for allegedly stealing $1.1 million of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's money. The Post explains, "The indictment came after The Post ran a series of stories detailing how the mayor wired $1.2 million to the state Independence Party in two transactions right before the [2009] election so it could transfer $750,000 to Haggerty, a once-trusted member of Bloomberg's campaign team, for the poll-watching effort."
The Daily News adds where the money probably went, "Haggerty worked in Bloomberg's Sixth Ave. campaign office but was not on the payroll, and told staffers there he was a volunteer. He has never explained how he spent the bulk of the $750,000, but the Daily News reported in February that he bought out his brother's share of their $1.6 million family home six days later."
The Manhattan DA's office charged Haggarty and his "Special Election Operations" with grand larceny, money laundering and falsifying business records:
Oh? What? It's not the presidential campaign? What? It's not quite as much money? What? So, those "conditions" somehow mean that it's not stealing somehow? Oh...It IS stealing...But when a Republican does it, it's different... Got it...

John is just the victim of circumstance (and not being able to keep it in his pants)...
