It never ceases to amaze me how low presidents or presidential candidates can stoop to make a buck. It shows that they have absolutely no class. Bob Dole illustrated it with his disgusting ads for...well, you know. Then there were Bill and Hillary selling nights in the Lincoln bedrooom (seances included?) for high roller donors. And now the Obamas, who plan to spend a cool billion on Barack's reelection campaign, offer lottery tickets for a "casual meal" with them. Don't believe it? I'm on his mailing list and see what I got below (second or third invite to enter actually). I removed the weblink because I have no intention of advertising for them. And if you believe all that nonsense about accepting no money from lobbyists and PACs, I have a nice covered bridge for sale in Shenandoah County. Check out this link for data on the union PAC money, over $7 million of it that Obama sucked in during his 2008 campaign. Anyway, here's the email complete with the info that no contribution is needed to enter. As for me, in view of the Obamas enthusiasm for killing little babies, I think eating with them would give me a severe case of indigestion.
Friend --
It's not all that often that Michelle and I get to host a casual meal with friends. That's one of the reasons we're both excited about the upcoming dinner with three supporters and your guests. It's the first one we've ever done like this together, and we'd love to have you and whoever you choose to join us. Chip in $3 or whatever you can today -- and you'll automatically be entered to be one of our dinner guests. I enjoy these dinners not just because they're a way to connect with supporters across the country.
They also say a lot about what kind of campaign we're running.
We don't take a dime from D.C. lobbyists or special-interest PACs -- never have and never will. Instead, we believe in the kind of politics that gives everyone a seat at the table -- so we're literally offering these seats at dinner to folks who are willing to step forward and be a part of it. There are just a few days left to add your name for a chance to be one of our guests at the next dinner, and help build this campaign before 2012 finally arrives.
Make a donation of $3 or whatever you can today -- and automatically enter to be there:
Thanks,
Barack

ReplyDeleteactually I am a bit confused at your remarks It was Nancy Reagan, not Hilary Clinton who attended seances and consulted astrologers. The Clintons were every Sunday in Church Methodists who didn't believe in fortuntelling, witchcraft, etc It always struck me as strange that the Reagans were Christians of some sort or other but they could delve into the paranormal
ReplyDeleteLet's try this again: (too many typos in previous version)--
ReplyDeleteI'm signed up for all the liberal sites including the Obama propaganda just to see what they are peddling. Never hurts to see what flavor of koolaid the opposition is drinking.
It does get a bit disgusting the spin on the truth that goes on however.
(I keep wondering if spell checking is involved in changing my words or if I'm just a hopelessly dyslexic typer)
The real money will be made when they raffle off the antacids after the Meal of the Messiah Most Miserable. It's interesting that a Chicago address is given.
ReplyDeleteActually, Anonymous, my reference was to the Lincolns. Mary Todd Lincoln was well known for having seances at the White House. As for Hillary, however, despite her being in Church "every Sunday," she was known to consult New Age guru Jean Houston. Besides, people who champion the murder of babies in the womb are anything but Christian.
ReplyDeleteI actually love this idea. If you are a supporter, why not enter for a chance to win dinner with the President? It's the chance of a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI, too, was disgusted when Bob Dole advertised for that intimate product on national television. I thought how low he had become. I do not even believe such things should be advertised on television. Such products are to be discussed with one's doctor or pharmacist or with close relatives or friends. One cannot even turn the television on now when one has a guest in one's house, or everyone is exposed to all the vulgarity about intimate medical problems. Also, many of the Presidents have invited some very vulgar and improperly dressed Hollywood "Stars" to some of the their functions. Many poor people have more class than some of the very rich. A man or woman can be attractively and beautifully dressed and still be modest about it - elegance not vulgarity.
