RSSPresident Obama Calls For An End To Perpetual Campaigns. Except His Own Of Course
Carl Andrews | January 30, 2010
President Barack Obama speaking during his State Of The Union Address:
“What frustrates the American people is a Washington where every day is Election Day. We can’t wage a perpetual campaign.”
Sounds like a call for the end to partisan politics.
Perhaps brought on by Scott Brown’s recent victory in Massachusetts, which to anyone besides the most egotistical man to ever occupy the White House, is that the Republicans, nor the Democrats for that matter, are not really currently running a political campaign.
The American people are running a political campaign.
They are campaigning for conservatives, and against liberals, as a means to voicing their opposition to the Obama administration’s never ending push to ram healthcare “reform” down our throats, in spite of overwhelming public opposition to Obamacare.
And of course there are a few other minor details that are causing this campaign that’s not a campaign, such as Obama’s out of control spending, unemployment figures, and the general state of the American economy.
So what answer does President Obama come up with to change Washington from running a “perpetual campaign?”
The answer lies within this picture:
Mere minutes after the President finished delivering his State Of The Union message, the members of Obama’s Army, otherwise known as Organizing For America, sent out the following mass e-mail on the President’s behalf:
“I just finished delivering my State Of The Union address. I set out an urgent plan for restoring economic security for struggling middle-class families.”
“Help fuel our fight for the middle class with a monthly donation of $15 or more.”
So a few minutes after Obama saying that we must put an end to every day being seen in washington as Election Day, what does the part of Obama’s campaign team known as Organizing For America do?
Sends out an e-mail to millions of supporters, many of whom are the same middle-class families the President spoke of, soliciting campaign contributions!
News flash Mr. President: The election that you ran in is over, and you won!!
Isn’t it about time you stopped asking for money?
