While Sandy pummeled the East Coast Monday night, Michelle Obama was soliciting campaign contributions from folks affected by the storm.

The following was sent at 7:44 PM via email to voters in North Carolina and Virginia just around the time Sandy made landfall:

From: Michelle Obama > Subject: I know we've asked a lot of you, but we're almost there To: Date: Monday, October 29, 2012, 7:44 PM

Friend --

There's still time to meet Barack and get two of the best seats in the house on Election Night. If you make a donation today, you'll be automatically entered to join us in Chicago for his big speech.

You'll be right in the middle of all the action on Election Night, and if Barack wins, you'll know you played an important part in making that happen and moving our country forward.

We'll fly you and a guest to Chicago, put you up in a hotel, and make sure you're right up front when Barack gives his speech.

What he'll say that night depends entirely on what we do right now.

I don't have to tell you, this election is close.

Barack needs you. Please chip in $5 or whatever you can today:

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney was soliciting donations to help the people on the east coast. Those Fluken Obamas. Always out to get somebody else’s money. Commies are all alike.

Of course she was asking for money..that fat cow is always begging for a handout

And Pravda USA is ridiculing him for it.

I have a junk mail account and signed up for updates from both campaigns and I get at least 3 or 4 emails from the Obama campaign asking for money, including the one above and I’m in California.

I rarely get any solicitations from the Romney campaign team and when I do, they are not of the “begging” variety like I get from these moochers.

I’m a SF Giants fan, and the celebration I engaged in Monday night when they won the World Series will be nothing in comparison to the celebration when these two deadbeats are thrown out of the White House, along with their illegal Aunts and Uncles and who knows who else they have living there.

FUBO
FUMO

They probably like Barry Soetoro’s way better. Steal someone else’s money and use it for your photo ops.

Correction: The Giants won Sunday nite, not Monday nite.
It’s been a long few days.

[Huskrrrr]

Looking for help to bail out a sinking ship.

Once again I wonder if there re people within the Obama team who are sabotaging him. This was just idiotic and inappropriate.

I might chip in $5 for a chance to see Obama's concession speech. I'd party like it was 1999.

No big surprise. The Obama campaign has requested that his minions give up receiving wedding, birthday, and anniversary gifts so that the money can instead be donated to reelect The One. So why would they care about the minor inconvenience of living in an area pummeled by Sandy. It is no big deal. What is really of supreme importance is that Obama is reelected and Michelle can continue to live the good life, jet setting around and schmoozing with Hollywood celebrities, all at the expense of America's taxpayers.

If re-elected, Obama will pass an Executive Order demanding that they be addressed as “King and Queen Obama”

Trailer trash—pure and simple.

Rodney - Your message could be a verbatim example of my experience ... down to the SF Giants celebration. :)

I’m sure you’ve noticed that the Obama emails are unprofessional, semi-thuggish and amateurish to boot - especially the ones with the spammy subject header “Hey”. The Romney emails are the opposite.

Thanks for posting this!
