Did You Know...

**Written by Doug Powers

Two weeks ago I received this email signed by the President:

Doug –

Supporters like you are the reason I’m here, and the values we share have always made our organization more than just a political campaign.

So whenever I can, I want to take the opportunity to meet you. Last month, that meant I got to talk to folks in Iowa about small-business opportunities, and sit down with a group of volunteers from around the country who helped build this campaign in their communities this summer.

Today, I want to ask if you’ll join me and three other supporters for a meal and conversation sometime soon.

Please donate $5 or more to be automatically entered for a chance to join me for dinner.
[...]
That’s why I’m asking for your donation today. I hope you’ll take a minute to help build this campaign. When you do, you’ll have a chance to join me for dinner:

Maybe I’ll get to thank you in person.

Barack

Just about an hour ago, I got this email signed by the First Lady:

Doug –

Not everyone knows how to prepare for a dinner like this. As someone who’s eaten countless meals with my husband, I want to tell you the one thing to do if you’re selected to join him…

Just relax. Barack wants this dinner to be fun, and he really loves getting to know supporters like you.

I hope you’ll take him up on it before Friday’s deadline.

Will you donate $3 or more today and be entered to have dinner with Barack?
[...]
Don’t miss the opportunity to be there. Donate $3 today, before the September 30th deadline:

Thanks,

Michelle

I know President Obama isn’t polling well these days, but now even his wife is marking him down?

If it keeps going in that direction, before too long I’m hoping the administration ends up offering to send me money — but I might have to start a solar company first.
