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.

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

America elected skin in 2008. There is no president inside. Just an incomplete enigma of a little boy weaned on Marxism and fed on white hatred. Welcome to Democratic Party America, comrade!

Weeeeelllllllllllll..........not exactly. She actually gave a response akin to “if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...”. She got the point across.

"He asked her if she thought ObaMao is a sociailist, or a radical. Palin wouldn’t say."

That part made me uncomfortable as well. However, I do think this is her "first step" campaign for 2012.

It would have made ME feel good to hear her say barry is a socialist; however, I don't think it would be a good thing for independents to hear....not yet anyway.

This woman is very smart. I truly believe she is planning each and every one of her steps. Calling the POTUS a socialist would probably not benefit her campaign, yet, NOR benefit the troops morale.

I am going out on a limb here and will put my trust in her, she has earned it!

".for some time now I have wanted to believe that OBAMA is not and could not be the ANTI-CHRIST, but now, I am beginning to doubt my original thesis."

Only thing is, the anti-christ would NOT need a teleprompter!! I do believe he is being led by evil though. Perhaps barry is just one of the anti-christ's minions.

“So a sitting president is campaigning against a private citizen? I fear more for my country every day.”

Sarah. Rush. FOX News...and lots of small media outlets. You betcha there’s good reason to be afraid of this PUNK!

“What America witnessed before the election and mere hours after Obama was sworn into office is just a sampling of what Americans can likely expect throughout an Obama presidency. One cannot help but reach the conclusion an Obama Enemies List is already being compiled and free speech restrictions are being considered. Fortunately for Obama he has no shortage of Congressional foot soldiers to help in his cause to muzzle critics and silence news outlets that refuse to adhere to Democratic talking points that are faxed directly into the network newscast teleprompters.” ~ Mark Hyman

I may have missed some posts on it but some of the things that crossed my mind are what happened to Ted Stevens and of course Norm Coleman. Both were Obama’ed. Then of course there is the pride of Pa. Wouldn’t it be interesting if we had a free press?

The left fears Governor Palin. It's unheard of for a sitting president in his very first year of his first term to go out and explicitly solicit money to "push back against Sarah Palin."

All things considered it's very good for us because it's about the lamest, most impuissant act that I can think of from a sitting president since at least the single term of President Carter. It clearly shows that Governor Palin is by far the most important opponent of the left's current stranglehold on the legislative and executive branches.

I have to admit that I have been waiting for one of the Obamaites to post on this thread some absurdly lame riposte about "Well, Nixon did it too!", but so far we have been spared.

“Never thought I’d see the day that the President of the U.S. would be leading witch hunts against private citizens.”
A President would never do this, however a dictator like Chavez would. This is so wrong. I hope the American people see this.

I just told my elderly Mom, who is A-political, but likes Sarah, about this, and she said it MUST be a JOKE, a false story. "You like, in the NY Post sometimes"

I said, no Mom, unfortunately, it's not. And this is how ridiculous & fearful this prez is. I'll have to bring over my laptop to prove it to her. Is there anything on his website that states such, or only the mass emails?
