Today, President Obama personally became re-involved in his former campaign organization's new incarnation Organizing for Action. On the same day he is scheduled to appear at two DCCC fundraisers in Chicago, the president of the United States sent the following email to OFA's mailing list, signed "Barack":

Friend -- This is an experiment. Organizing for Action isn't like any other organization. It's based in Chicago, not Washington, and its task is to help restore the balance of power in government. We've seen that a bottom-up movement of passionate people can still win an election in the era of big campaign spending. That's not what this is about. Organizing for Action is about discovering whether ordinary people can reclaim the process of legislating from special-interest groups and lobbyists, and help give your friends and neighbors the voice they deserve in Washington. This project needs your support -- I'm counting on you to be there for the fights ahead. Say you're in today: http://my.barackobama.com/Are-You-In Let's finish what we started. Thanks,

Based in Chicago.

Yeah, that ought to sum it up for everyone.

No ‘Conflict of Interest’ here right?

translation: “Send me more OFAy money!”

it’s all a scam anyway. less then 5% of the OFAY money comes from ‘little people’. you can’t maintain a billion-dollar tax-free slush fund without the big money - bribes, kickbacks, foreigners seeking favors, etc.

The First Marxist is crowing that his Chicago mafia was successful in suppressing the conservative vote last year by having the IRS persecute TEA Party and other patriot groups, denying them the right to raise funds to get out their voters. He’s very proud of that.

This letter should be used as proof that he set up the machinery to steal his re-election.

Like I am foolish enough to believe that this organization will be “Non-Partisan”; It will be purely Partisan.

Obama doing what Dems do best........LYING!

No — see, they can’t be one of those “special-interest groups and lobbyists”, that’s the other side!

0bama is correct. It's task is to restore the balance of power in government...away from the people.

Friend -- This is an experiment. Organizing for Action isn't like any other organization. It's based in Chicago, not Washington, and its task is to help restore the balance of power in government Michelle and I continue to live the lifestyle we've become accustomed to by using your money to live like royalty. We've seen that a bottom-up movement of passionate people suckers can still win an election in the era of big campaign spending and in turn, put people in power that do nothing but steal your money and increase your misery. That's not what this is about. Organizing for Action is about discovering whether ordinary people can reclaim the process of legislating from special-interest groups and lobbyists, and help give your friends and neighbors the voice they deserve in Washington suckers like you are stupid enough to allow me to stick it to you once again. This project needs your support -- I'm counting on you to be there for the fights ahead as stupid as you were in 2008 and 2012 and I know you won't let me down. Say you're in today: http://my.barackobama.com/Are-You-In Let's finish what we started

Edited for truth.
