President Obama seeks $500,000 for ads to rebut Palin
St Louis Examiner ^ | 11.21.09 | Matthew Cook

Posted on 11/21/2009 9:41:35 AM PST by rface

Another e-mail from info@barackobama.com hit my inbox yesterday. The subject: Sarah Palin.

It begins: "Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn."

The mail goes on to say "It's dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists."

"Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform."

"So we're setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies.....We need to be prepared. And we're counting on you help. Can you chip in $5?"

So it has come to this: a sitting president soliciting donations for counter-attack ads on a former VP nominee hockey mom that most of the mainstream media rediculed in the last election. If her claims are so outrageous, why bother spending the money to respond? Maybe because a lot of people are listening to her, and many of them might just agree with what she is saying.

The President must raise the money. Without it, he can’t go up against her on his own. He has to buy off the media and politicians. One of the worst Presidents this country has ever had.

“One of the worst Presidents this country has ever had.”

What would it take to be the worst?
By comparison, he already makes Jimmy Carter look like a Saint.

I’m sorry, but this poser is just a low-rent pimp who’s gotten comfortable with bein able to ‘slap his bitches’ down. It really does take some ass nerve to aks for $500K to rebut her when he’s pissed away $1.4 Trillion in 10 months. You gots to know he be riding dirty....plenty of green stashed his way.

That was the only bit I didn’t like about the Hannity/Palin interview. He asked her if she thought ObaMao is a sociailist, or a radical. Palin wouldn’t say. Democrats have been socialist since FDR. This guy is a Marxist! Glenn Beck has demonstrated it.

it is going to be so great in 2011 when the election gets under way and Sarah is filling stadiums again, and the zero only draws small crowds and protesters :)

How has she NOT been audited by the IRS yet? Maybe that’s not the Chicago way or they’re waiting until after her book tour.

We could all send HER $5 to counteract his plea to his minions for them to make $5 contributions.

How many of ‘them’ do you think will really send him $5 anyway? My guess is not many — they have their hands OUT — not interested in ‘giving.’
