Pathetic. Obama For America Literally Begging For $3 Donations

Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 2, 2011, 3:06 PM

They are pathetic.
The latest donation request from Obama for America wreaks of desperation.

Jim –

I’m the national finance director here at OFA.

I know we’ve been sending you a lot of email lately. That’s because we’re staring down a critical fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight.

You know what that means for your inbox, but let me give you a sense of what that looks like around here.

The staff and I are working around the clock, powered by too much coffee. It’s been way too long since we called our moms. And we’ve all had more pizza and bad takeout in the past few weeks than anyone should have in a year.

No one’s complaining; that’s what we signed up for. And we’re not doing this just because it’s our job to make sure the campaign has the resources it needs. We’re doing this because it’s part of what defines this movement.

From the beginning, we’ve refused to take money from D.C. lobbyists and corporate special interests. Our operation is fueled by people inspiring each other to take ownership of this campaign.

That’s why we’ve been emailing this week, and that’s why I’m obligated to remind you once more that the deadline is coming up in a matter of hours.

If you’re able to, will you chip in just $3 today?

For all of us here at HQ, and all of the staff and volunteers across the country counting on these resources, I really appreciate your help.

Maybe if they weren’t out to kill the rich they wouldn’t have to beg for so many $3 donations.

Just because I reported a nasty rumor about Dear Leader, (that he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry), at http://www.attackwatch.com , I’ve been getting spammed. I’m about to report that somebody has stolen their email list, and is spamming folks to blacken the Won.

Dang, the exact same thing happened to me ... I reported some of SI's liberals to attackwatch and some evil hacker (Breitbart, O'Keefe ?) has been sending me emails daily from people pretending to be Barack Obama, Michelle Obama or other people associated with the White House .... pretending I'm Barack's pal, inviting me to dinner, all in exchange for a $3 donation. This must be a scam right? Someone is just trying to get your personal billing information to steal your identity - that has to be what it is .... Why else would they act like such fools for $3? ;>)

I was really surprised by that interview. I don't know anything about that guy but he came across as pretty reasonable to me. Democrat, yes, but he seemed to understand what a train wreck the Obama administration is.
