A fundraising email from the vice president, subject line: What’s stopping you, right now?
Friend –
I need to ask you one last thing before tonight’s midnight deadline:
If you know you’re going to donate to this campaign eventually, what’s stopping you from doing it right now?
If you’re going to be a part of history in 2012, it’s time to get off the sidelines.
So, before midnight, will you chip in what you can and say you’re in?
This has never been about Barack and me.
We’re just two guys. It’s folks like you out there who will decide this election.
And what you’re capable of is incredible — if you decide to do it.

com/Friday-Deadline Thank you,

P.S. — That deadline also applies to the dinner Barack is having with four supporters. Donate today and you’ll be automatically entered for the chance to be there.
Maybe I’m just having a stupid day but I’m not seeing the point of this article. I’ve read it carefully twice and it looks like a straightforward fundraising letter. I assume there is some kind of major gaffe in it but I’m not seeing it.
If you stand on your head and read it backwards, you’ll see that is says that I’m dead.
I’m with Henry Reardon. I’m no fan of Obama, and I think Biden is a clown. But I see nothing remarkable about this letter.
The only remarkable thing about it is how remarkably stupid it is.
“This has never been about Barack and me.

Just a couple of regular fellas, getting by on our slim paychecks, trying to raise few bucks for the bowlin’ team.
“We’re just two guys.” Yep, modern day Blues Brothers. They govern, we feel the pain.
Not wanting to cast my eyes upon the site, is it using a credit card processor, so that they pay a small fee for each transaction?
Each and every one who donates 1 cent might cost them money…anybody know?

No thanks. I’d rather spend a buck on a lottery ticket. It’s a cheaper fantasy.
