More Emails From My Obamabuddies
President Barack Hussein Obama's critics say he has reduced the country to a virtual economic basket case and that he and his re-election team are in process of reducing the presidency of the United States to the level of a carnival side-show with phony come-ons replete with hawking t-shirts and mugs and games of chance.
Well, they may be doing all that but it's in a good cause - saving the nation from an evil Republican!
I know this because I'm the very proud recipient of personalized emails from various members of the Obama-Biden campaign committee and even some from Barack and Michelle and the vice president! At first, they arrived once or so a week but lately they've been filling up my in-box at an amazing rate, clear evidence that my buddies are working really hard.
A cynic might think the email flurry is only designed to raise $$$ for the cash-starved Obama-Biden campaign but I know better. Mostly, they're intended to demonstrate a friendly effort to keep in touch with their supporters.
What follows are slightly-edited emails I've received in the last week, edited because some were very wordy despite how busy, busy, busy Obama and his team are down in D.C. and across the fruited plain.,
The latest came from the president just today and the poor guy is sounding desperate. He mustn't have much time to write because he was pretty brief. He asks for $3, of course, to enter his birthday sweepstakes and says, €My upcoming birthday next week could be the last one I celebrate as President of the United States, but that's not up to me - it's up to you.€
Yesterday, Juliana Smoot, Deputy Obama-Biden Campaign Manager, said a lot more.
She wrote, €I'm no good at singing €Happy Birthday.' I hope you're better, because the President's inviting two grassroots donors and their guests to celebrate his birthday with him at his home in Chicago on August 12th. Just pitch in $3 or whatever you can to support this campaign, and you'll be automatically entered for the chance to be there... We've got a nice spot picked out for the event at the President's family home in their beautiful South Side neighborhood.€
I thought that was sweet of Juliana but wondered whether the guy who finagled that family home for the Obamas, Tony Rezko, would be there until I remembered Rezko is in prison.
In any event, as always, I missed the deadline to submit my three bucks. And they would have flown me to Chicago free - if I had won the raffle!
I guess Juliana didn't know Joe - that would be Vice President Joseph Biden to those not close to the action - had invited me on July 24th to join in Obama's 51st birthday fun and HE emailed me that they would throw in hotel accommodations - if I won.
I had also received a generic invite to the festivities from €The Obama for America€ team on July 23rd and one from the POTUS on July 18th asking me to €Fly into my birthday get-together,€ although then he was asking for a $25 donation for the chance to break bread with the commander in chief in his exclusive, Chicago backyard, if I was the winner.
I could be wrong but I think the only email I've received from my Obama buddies that didn't ask for money came from the FLOTUS on July 19th imploring me to sign on to €do just one thing€ such as registering a new voter, running a phone bank, or volunteering somewhere.
That last email scared me almost as much as Barack's did today.
The others simply showed the president needed money to fund his campaign against that nasty zillionaire Romney. Michelle demonstrated that he's not nearly as popular in 2012 as he was in 2008 and she has to convince people to help out and Barack seems to know that too otherwise why keep repeating himself?
All I know is that if Americans want four more great years like the last four great years they had better vote for my bud Barack on November 6.
If they don't, they should resign themselves to governance by a snooty, successful Republican who abuses the family dog, who is an accused felon, who may worship the devil, who cheats on his taxes, who has the antiquated view that America is an exceptional place, and who probably beats his wife in their boudoir.
Unlike most voters, I know all this since I'm in the Obama in-crowd. After all, I get all those personal emails!
