Report: Obama Films Campaign Ad In White House, Possibly ViolatingFEC Laws?
NRO's Jim Geraghtyraises the question of whether Barack Obama filmed a video for his reelection
campaign in the White House, which may possibly be a violation of federal election laws.
In the video, President Obama promotes a "Dinner With Barack" raff le. To participate in the contest you
need to donate at least $5 to the president's re-election campaign and your name will be raff led off to
enjoy a dinner with the President, airfare and accommodations included. In a new web video, Obama
announced Vice President Joe Biden will also be attending the dinner.
There is one problem, however. This campaign ad was most likely recorded in the White House, which
may have violated FEC campaign finance laws.
Take a look at this weekly address delivered by Obama in February. Below is a screenshot taken from the
weekly address followed by an image taken from the campaign advertisement.

Both videos have identical lamps in the background, suggesting both videos were recorded at the same
location. President Obama normally records his weekly address at the White House unless he is on the
road like last week when he was in Pittsburgh.
Below are several other instances where this room was used for a weekly address:
