Irony: Calvey's Brother Huge Obama Supporter

Federal Election Commission records show that Michael Calvey, wealthy international businessman and brother of Republican 5th District congressional candidate Kevin Calvey, has been a huge donor to Barack Obama and to the Democratic National Committee.

Michael Calvey burst into the news on Sunday, when The Oklahoman reported on the donations from him and his business associates to Calvey's campaign, and revealed that the source of Calvey's campaign loan of $250,000 was from an interest in Michael Calvey's Russian investment firm, Baring Vostok Capital Partners, an interest for which Kevin Calvey paid nothing and when sold, netted him $270,000.

The FEC records show that Michael Calvey, who lives in England while operating his Moscow-based investment fund, donated more than $32,000 to Obama and to his "Victory Fund." His donations to Obama and Democratic Party interests total about $60,000, the records show.

The irony is that Kevin Calvey has made his opposition to Obama and his policies, especially Obamacare, primary focuses of his campaign.
