If I'm not mistaken Obama's campaign was fined for the same offense -- non-disclosed campaign distributions.

You are mistaken, these are not the same offense.
Do explain. As far as I understand the problem is that Cohen paid for the hush money, so it was essentially a campaign contribution that was not reported.
