“Please donate” to Barack Obama. To the man we keep hearing has $30 million in the bank from leftover funds!
Please!
The"asks" came in two emails, no less, on consecutive days. The nerve of those people!
First, David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, writes asking that we continue, c o n t i n u e, campaign meetings at home. Please! Can we ever get a break? We are supposed to do this for the next four years?
To promote Obama’s platform? Please don't try to kid me it's "our" platform.
“At the house meetings, you'll reflect on our campaign, discuss the future of this movement, and identify some ways to get involved in your community.
"Meeting hosts will report back, and your feedback will be instrumental in guiding this movement through some important and unprecedented territory.”
When I saw the “Please donate” button on Barack Obama’s page, I was stunned. Was this an old page, I wondered, fearing the answer.
”Your donation will support the Democratic National Committee and help recover the enormous resources they committed to this campaign.”
Get real, people! Did not the voters of this nation just send a zillion billion more Democrats to Congress and the U.S. Senate? Another Democrat is busted for bribery, and you are asking us to fund more Democrats? In this economy?
What about the "little people," you know the ones who don't count, the ones in the middle and below the middle who actually need some of Obama's leftover cash? The ones who don’t feed off the public’s tit?
Is it not stupifying that Obama's team has the audacity to send out solicitation letters six weeks after we worked feverishly to elect him, and here he comes asking for more!
How about the big bailout money going to an entity other than the fat banks, and the execs who fly in and fly out like witches on broomsticks crying “poor mouth”?
Why do the taxpayers bailout Citi which forked over big bucks ("multi-millions") to fund Bill Clinton’s latest “global” meeting? (The taxpayers pay the government which pays Citi which pays Bill Clinton who pays Bill Clinton who pays Bill Clinton, and who is Secretary of State and he's not going to wave influence?)
The election’s over, the results are sealed, the people are forgotten to feed the coffers of the corporations, the greedy fat cats who need more and more and more.
What hath we wrought?
