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.

“...exposing all of the people in Obama’s circle who haven’t paid in years...”

Yep. That’s the conundrum for the Libs. They want to use other people’s money to buy votes/support. But they also want to be rich and live very well. So while cheating on their taxes they sic the IRS on politicial opponents, because of course conservatives must be cheating too.

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

That would be beneath the dignity of a president. Fortunately, it's just the occupant of the White House attacking a private citizen, which is still disgraceful but does not reflect on the dignity of an office for which the occupant of our White House is unqualified.

In truth with the billions of stimulus funds given to Acorn and SEIU, IE and America's civil or community services, etc. He has monies out the Kazoo available, personal expenses, Michelle's budget for her staff, taking multiple planes for their every trip etc. He has many sources for siphoning it off, Naturally He does not want to use any of his monies already stashed for his future life.. Out right stealing.

WOW! How arrogant!

Does he have to raise money as administration seems to have a lot of unexplained gaps in spending of tarp and stimulus money?

They must be waiting until Andrea Mitchell mentions 20 more times HOW MANY MILLIONS Sarah is making from her book! Which is A REVENGE BOOK in case you didn’t get the talking points.

Calling dissent "dangerous" is typical behavior for Obama and his leftwing asshole allies, and that has to be emphasized.

SEIU and ACORN will assist, as will a lot of ignorant slaves to the Master.

BUT, Sarah and us will talk above the lies and deceit that is now coming from the BO. The gig is up, let them throw their money down the drain. I may buy some stock in broadcasters to reap some of the profits. Their lies make no sense, and when “Hellth Care” passes, then we will attack. We have every reason to.

Never fear, she is saving it for when it counts. She is smart. Anything she says will be blown apart by the Politboro. She must save her ammo for the real fight. This is just the beginning.
