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.

A person is often known by his/her enemies. The left must really fear Palin.

No, I do believe the article made it clear they’re asking for small and large donations from “supporters”/ and if it were ever found out that ‘stimulus’ money, or any other form of public money were diverted for this use, Oblahblah would have a very hard time talking his way out of that one.

Garg, you’re just ONE of about 319,000 people of FR who
don’t like Obama. (insert smileyface emoticon here)
As far as I’m concerned , he’s doing a FINE job, not as President of the USA, but as some kind of very temporary try-out fantasy ruler created by the collective wet dreams of the Islamic World, who is doing to America just what they would do were they in his loafers.

“I will never forget during the campaign his quote, “You can put lipstick on a pig..” and his laughing. That showed me what he really thought right then and there!”

0 doesn’t seem to respect or even like women at all. Maybe that’s why he chose the manliest looking wife he could get away with.

No, they just told bama that he didn’t need any right now, and quell the little uprising.

I really love Palin. She is one of those few people out there who is so uncompromising on the values that I care about that it makes up for a lack of experience as far as I’m concerned. That is what Pres. Reagan had. She is like him in that she is not wishy washy. That makes up for so much.
