How chaotic must things be on the Democratic side of things when they can’t even keep track of how much it costs to raffle off a dinner with the president? Two days ago, I got an email from Barack Obama himself telling me that, for just $5.00, I would be “automatically entered for a chance to join [him] for dinner.” That’s pretty cheap at the price, I thought to myself.
Then, just a few minutes ago, Jim Messina, the campaign manager for Obama for America, sent me an email telling me that my dinner raffle ticket is going to cost me a whopping $25.00:
You got an email from the President a couple days ago, inviting you to sit down to dinner with him. Our records show that you’ve entered for that chance before and didn’t win — and I hope that’s not discouraging you from giving it another shot.
Because the fact is that someday soon, four more people who are reading this note right now will be on a plane to have dinner with President Obama in Washington, or Chicago, or wherever he might be that day.
This time, it could be you.
Donate $25 today and you’ll be automatically entered for the chance to have dinner with the President and three other supporters.
What’s up with that? Either Barrie’s fickle or, as I suggested, his operation is so chaotic that no one really knows what’s going on. Given reports about uprisings in the Oval Office and mismanagement in the West Wing, I’m voting for chaos.

Tell you what, promise him $100 and he will make sure that your green company gets federal funding. After all, it’s all about the jobs right.
What kind of scam are they running? The drawing is non until October 7th.
8. Promotion Rules. Fifty (50) potential winners will be selected by a random drawing from all eligible entries to be held at Obama for America Headquarters on October 7, 2011. Sponsor may, at its option, conduct a background check on each potential winner. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential winner from receiving any prize based on such background check if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion that awarding any prize to such potential winner could result in a safety or security risk to any person or persons or could result in the disruption of any event associated with the Promotion. Sponsor will, in its sole discretion, then select four (4) winners from the list of eligible potential winners on the basis of criteria determined and applied by Sponsor to provide for an appropriate range of views, backgrounds, and interests among the winners selected. Winners will be notified by phone or e-mail by October 14, 2011. To claim the prize, each winner should follow the instructions and comply with the conditions contained in his/her notification.
I don’t know how much more I can take this week. If this isn’t the most incompetent administration I don’t know what is. This is like a game show, circus. NUTS!!!
Well sucker, you bit once for $5.00 but if you REALLY,REALLY want to
increase your chances for dinner with the “greatest,most beloved and
benevolent master ever to walk the earth among the serfs” just deliver
$500,000.00 in small, non-sequentially marked bills to the DNC and watch
your odds skyrocket.
And that’s not all. If you act now we’ll be throwing in a complete set of ginzu knives.
Hahaha! You just hit tonight’s jackpot for comedy gold!
Raffling himself off…
*facepalm*
Even out-and-out WHORES don’t raffle themselves off.
Slave-traders didn’t (and still don’t) raffle off their human chattel.
Hey, I do NOT want to eat dinner with the guy. However, if you put him on a stool over a tank in a carnival, I’ll pay to hit the target to dunk him in the tank.
But be sure to put a few drops of skunk odor in the water. The dude needs to pay for the four lost years (and more!) that we all have been made to suffer.
Does the entry have to come from a live donor or can one of his graveyard voters enter too?
I think I got a pic of one of the voters from the deceased-American community – who always vote so reliably for the Democrats!
Can you blame him for trying, it is not like his approval rating is zero? A lot of people think he is the One.
Barry and the gang just aren’t very good with money, math, or consistency. When they send out a message asking for donations for encouraging him to step aside and return to private life, I’d be willing to contribute significant coin, knowing it will be made up in the post-Obama economic boom. Also, if my cable company wants to offer a service for Obama-mute, I’ll pay for that too.
