Rick Perry’s latest fundraising appeal looks to raise some money off President Obama’s golf game. In an email to supporters Thursday, Rob Johnson, Perry’s campaign manager, asked potential donors to open their pocketbooks to the amount of $76 — exactly the number of rounds of golf Obama has played since entering the White House.
“In honor of his prodigious golf habit, I ask you to donate $76 today – a dollar for each round of golf Obama has played since becoming president,” Johnson wrote.
A golfing theme exists throughout the donation request email, tying Obama’s handling of the economy to a round of golf.
“31 months, 12 days and 76 rounds of golf later, we still await the president’s plan to create jobs. Or, more precisely, his next plan following the failed stimulus that spent our children’s inheritance, exploded the debt and led to greater unemployment. Now the president wants a mulligan,” Johnson wrote in the email.
“Help us yell a pre-emptive ‘fore’ before the president takes a three-iron to the economy and makes matters worse.”
Perry, who has claimed the frontrunner title after catapulting to the top of polls this week, has been on a fundraising blitz since the start of his campaign nearly three weeks ago.

Very good.
And the problem with that is?
WaPo, you folks are getting desperate aren’t you?
Journalists are sooooo wimpy.
Face it...your president is a stupid dork who needs help finding the bathroom.

This is genius!
I have read that Perry is embracing the new culture/technology in ways even Obama hasn’t. I also heard he will not be focusing as much on expensive TV ads, but on using the internet, including social networks, to get the word out, and very cheaply. The day of “money trumps quality” may be coming to an end in politics.
“76 rounds of golf”
“76 trombones led the big parade”
“1776”
“76 rounds of golf”.
I love it.
And Dick Cheney said his book was going to make heads explode.
This is beautiful.
Fairly clever fund raising appeal that uses Obama’s numerous golfing excursions as a vehicle to ask for campaign donations. Nothing unusual there. The snide comments from the author, ABC writer Arlette Saenz, are predictably lame. She refers to Governor Perry attending charity golf tournaments in Texas (and playing poorly) while avoiding the obvious difference. The fact that Rick Perry is the successful governor of a state that is prospering while Obama is a failing president presiding over a nation heading toward bankruptcy due mostly to his insane economic policies while he takes vacations and golfs. I doubt many Americans are missing the contrast, which is why the Perry fund raising letter is effective.
Priceless!

Very clever.
Perry’s not my favorite, but this is clever. It shows backbone.
You bet. A two fer. Point out the lazy seat warmer (oval office) and make some $$ at the same time.
Yep, it may be a fund raiser but it makes a good point.
Yes.
I like it.
Smart move! Clever reminder that Zero doesn’t work.
Love this, great idea. haha
