Obama 2012 campaign: President Obama himself makes an unexpected announcement about the upcoming "Dinner with Barack" contest.

To participate in the contest you need to donate at least $5 to the campaign and your name will be raffled off to enjoy a dinner with the President, airfare and accommodations included. In a new web video, Obama announced Vice President Joe Biden will also be attending the dinner.

There is one problem, however.

This campaign ad was most likely recorded in the White House, which may have violated FEC campaign finance laws.

Apparently RCP hasn’t heard. Rules don’t apply to Obama. Any implication that they should is racist.

Didn't the Obama campaign staff attempt the same stunt during the 2008 elections?

I have a remembrance that Obama’s staff had set up a lottery where the winner would have dinner with the Obamas. It got shot down by the FEC because of intrastate gambling laws.

This is not an issue.

Obama is one of Holder’s people, so it can’t be an issue.

The Palin haters threw a fit when she had an interview in the gov office while she was running for VP. It’s the same thing.

Seems like this might be an illegal interstate promotion of gambling. The President wouldn’t use the Oval Office for such nefarious purposes, now, would he?
