President Obama and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
discussing the Anthony Weiner scandal
I have been reporting those e-mails I get from the White House asking me to chip in 3 bucks and join the lottery for a dinner with the Obamas. They keep telling me that they don't accept those big corporate donations (like Solyndra). Now it seems they are raking in more cash than those Republican fat cats.

I should note that some of the e-mails I get have come from Jim Messina, who is quoted in this article. The other e-mails were signed by Barack and Michelle, the latter of whom made it sound like she really wanted little ol' me to come see her at the White House.
Just this week, Obama spoke in front of a group that coughed up $4,500 each for the privilege of hearing the president blow smoke up their collective arse.
So let's cut the crap about how Obama is not accepting big bucks from his well-heeled supporters and only relying on $3 from little guys like me.
Actually, he's counting on $25 donations from little guys like me. I haven't had a full time job in two and a half years, but I haven't required any public assistance, keep my rent paid, and feel patriotically motivated to support our best president since John F. Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteSo, Republicans have huge PACs funded by millionaires, and Obama is building a huge war chest to fight them, funded by rank and file American citizens. Gee, I wonder which one inspires me more?
