Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- In a letter sent to friends just before he fled California, Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu blamed his troubles on a politician.
One of the recipients told The Los Angeles Times that Hsu suggested in the letter that a “politician who promised ’hope and change’” -- presumably Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D- Ill. -- had planted articles about Hsu’s legal troubles. Hsu faces a three-year prison term in California for a theft conviction dating back to the early 1990s.
The Obama campaign denied having anything to do with unmasking Hsu as a fugitive. Obama received $7,000 from Hsu in 2004 and 2005, but U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has gotten far more.
Hsu surrendered in California but then fled last week, and became sick while on a train and was taken to a hospital in Grand Junction, Colo. He was moved to a jail there this week.
He sent the letters by Federal Express shortly before boarding the train.
