The Obama campaign sent out the following fundraising email today. It speaks for itself.
Subject: Fly out to meet us
Friend –
For the first 10 years of our marriage, Barack and I lived in an apartment in my hometown of Chicago.
The winters there can be pretty harsh, but no matter how snowy or icy it got, Barack would head out into the cold — shovel in hand — to dig my car out before I went to work.
In all our years of marriage, he’s always looked out for me. Now, I see that same commitment every day to you and to this country.
The only way we’ll win this election is if we can rely on one another like that, all the way to November 6th. Barack is working hard, but he can’t do this alone — he needs your help.
Make a donation today to build this campaign — when you do, you’ll be automatically entered to join Barack and me for a casual dinner:

Your flight, your meal, your accommodations — that’s all taken care of. Just bring yourself and a guest, and get ready to enjoy a good meal together.
Thanks,
Michelle
Why is the Obama campaign talking about shoveling snow in June? Beats me. Snow surely isn’t the only thing Obama has shoveled.
What? Michelle didn’t use mass transit? Shame on her!
So is it campaign funds or tax dollars that will pay for the all expense paid vacation for two lucky winners? They are getting more and more desperate. Before it was just win a chance at a meal. Now it is win a hotel room for the night, free flight (probably make you change planes 3 times for the cheapest trip – or not because this is a profligate presidency) and a meal at the fundraising location.
Who knows? By the election, people could have the chance to spend a week at the White House or Disneyland. Maybe a Carribbean cruise.
Well, considering all he does is shovel BS, shovelling snow does seem like good practice.
Hey, it’s not like he had a job to go to. What else is he going to do but shovel the snow?
I’m sure Bill Ayres couldn’t spare the time to lecture his disciple every day….
If Ayers had his way, he’d probably have just blown the snow off the walk with some C4 or melted it with a molotov….

First: We’re not all married to Obama (thank G-d.) This is creeping me out. Stalin was supposed to be Russia’s kindly uncle, Obama wants to be closer to all of us. Urk. Don’t these people have any real families? The things he’s doing “for our own good” or because “we asked for it” are actually abuse. If he’s married to us, let’s throw him out, change the locks and throw all his clothes on the front lawn. (Cutting the crotch out of all his designer pants is optional.)
Second: shoveling snow, shoveling snow… Well, according to his bio, this is true, if he used very small spoons and shoveled it up his nasal cavity. Barack, stop shoveling snow. Have some coffee and look at reality, instead.
up the nose, good one, sarah!

Madame, you have won the Interwebs for the day. I bow to your superiority.

to take out the garbage.
If I win can I bring Rush as my guest?
He was probably shoveling the snow to get her outta the house so he could smoke his pot and snort his coke…..
Legal Insurrection pointed out that these “Donate, and Enter to Win” things are going to cost the winners much more than the $3 donation (or free entry because otherwise it would run afoul the gambling laws). This is winnings that have a retail value (in this case up to $1600. Therefore, the IRS will be very interested in the tax on the winnings.
