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 first time I heard him insult Sarah, he told a reporter he wasn’t worried about ANYONE from some place called “WaSILLY”...classy, real classy, there, HolyO! >>:-(

3 months? I honestly believe he will NEVER get off the pot and make a committment to the WAR ON TERROR in AFGHANISTAN.

And many will die needlessly as a result of this buffoon’s dithering. :*(

This confirms everything we have known for the last year, Palin is seen as a threat by the left.

In a way she already has. Remember the big stink when the Palin’s pre-paid their estimated taxes and were shy appx. $100 in the calculation? [Which they paid at the time due] The left made it out to be a horrible, terrible, dreadful thing.

Did the campaign ever pay it’s VERY large [7 digit] bill owed to Chi-town?

Doubt it.

Maybe Recovery.gov has the payoff in a non-existent district as having saved 70k jobs?

Only an idiot would believe that the douchebag-in-chief is not himself a partisan extremist.

“THE RETURN OF JOAN OF ARC”

I’d say the female Charles Martel. Martel was completely successful, no martyrdom, and stopped the Muslim invasion with a solid phalanx of brave infantry who wouldn’t break the line- Even when faced with the oppositions cavalry.

He lived to a ripe old age, did this defender.

Quite clearly they are ALL “wee-wee’d up” about “our beauteous Sarah” {enormous KUDOS to Ann Coulter for coining that one!}

OBama is constantly campaigning and fund raising. Hello? You’re president now, how about some leadership and actual governing

Has this poor woman not been attacked enough?

I guess, since the bill doesn’t officially address them as “death Panels” then they don’t exist...ignore the man behind the curtain and move along.

FUBO FUNP and FUHR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RUN SARAH RUN!

and to the Black Community, for whom it will take generations to live down the shame

This crossed my mind when I realized blacks generally embrace freedom over chains (and whips).

Reforming Health Care isn't about freedom, it's about 'forcing' people into a system that gives power to government- not the people. It's only the beginning of what's being planned to 'force' upon people and businesses that'll only serve to empower government in the end.

When freedom is denied, slavery fills the void. The chance that any descendant of former slaves ever has of being elected president after Obama establishes his gulag Ar-chicago dangerously approaches zero (unless ACORN intervenes). Mobutu Boy is a marxist, not an American Black.
