Win Dinner With The One!
In return for a $5 donation to his reelection campaign, President Barack Obama is offering supporters a chance to participate in a raffle to win a “casual” dinner with him at an unstated location.
In an e-mail to supporters, the president says his campaign will raffle off four tickets for the casual dinner.

Describing the event as a “casual meal among friends,” the e-mail goes on to imply that the dinner will be a chance for the president and four lucky supporters to share stories and ideas about national policy.
Winners will receive free airfare and hotel accommodations should they win.
“We'll pay for your flight and the dinner--all you need to bring is your story and your ideas about how we can continue to make this a better country for all Americans,” says the raffle e-mail.
“This won't be a formal affair,” reads the solicitation. “It's the kind of casual meal among friends that I don't get to have as often as I'd like anymore, so I hope you'll consider joining me.”
The kind of "casual meal among friends" that Barry doesn't get to have as often as he'd like anymore? You mean like running out to scarf hamburgers with Dmitry Medvedev?
Notice he doesn't ask us lesser beings to win a chance at playing golf with him. That privilege is reserved for Sneetches with stars.
I'm tired of hearing about how Barry can't just do anything he'd like anymore, like taking long walks in the park or squeezing the fruit in the supermarket like us other everyday folks. (Tell me how often he did that!) If it's too much for you, by all means, don't run for reelection.
Sorry, but this wonderful opportunity is about $4.99 too much.
