Richard Watters checks the market on his computer in Sydney, Australia, Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Watters, an African Australian citizen, donated $1,000 to the campaign of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama. Watters entered a fake U.S. passport number, a random jumble of numbers and letters, so the site would take his money. He said he also checked a box stating that he was an American living overseas, 'because I could see it wasn't going anywhere if I didn't do that.' (AP Photo/Rob Griffith)AP - Neither Barack Obama nor John McCain has consistently followed the government’s instructions for keeping prohibited foreign money out of their presidential campaigns, and some of that banned money has slipped into Obama’s campaign.
