    Where exactly does all of Obama's money come from?

    LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- Police questioned the head of the Nigerian Stock Exchange on Thursday in connection with a glitzy fundraiser meant to drum up African support for U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama.

    Babafemi said officials were checking if the funds raised by the group, "Africans for Obama '08," were to be sent to the Obama campaign in violation of U.S. electoral regulations. U.S. election laws forbid foreign donations to electoral campaigns.
