Obama campaign email subject lines

It's fundraising season, and President Obama's team is pulling out all the stops to raise as much as $1 billion to stay in the White House another term.

As part of its tech-savvy email solicitations, the Obama campaign, as well as the GOP slate of candidates, is coming up with special offers to attract donations.  

An email from barackobama.com, asks "friends" to donate and enter the raffle for dinner with the president. In an email following upon an initial solicitation from Mr. Obama, Michelle Obama urges constituents to donate $3 to be entered to have dinner with the president.

"Not everyone knows how to prepare for a dinner like this. As someone who's eaten countless meals with my husband, I want to tell you the one thing to do if you're selected to join him...Just relax. Barack wants this dinner to be fun, and he really loves getting to know supporters like you," the email said.

Now the Twitterverse is taking up the cause, sort of, with the hash tag, #ObamaCampaignEmailSubjectLines, feature humorous takes on campaign fundraising email subject lines. 

Below are a few more examples:

Should Obama be spending time on reelection financing or creating more finances for the American people?! Do you blame both sides of our federal government or does all the blame fall on the commander in chief? Come discuss: https://www.votocracy.com/poll

Obama uses the stimulus money to reward his past and future campaign contributors; $535 million to Solyndra and $737 million to Tonopah where Ron Pelosi of PCG, Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law, is a major stakeholder. Needless to say a portion of that $737 million will find its way into Obama's campaign coffers. No wonder Obama is all gung-ho about a second stimulus plan, a new pot of money he can tap into for personal gains when the first expires. His stated aim is to raise $1 billion which will be used for TV appearances and campaign ads to destroy the Republican nominee. He's saving up by using taxpayers' money as much as possible for his campaign trips. The economy may stink but Obama's not going to let it crimp his spending binge.

OBAMA MUST BE REALLY GETTING DESPERATE.!

Is this raffle legal.???

I wouldn't give three cents to Obama, any Congressman running for re-election or any Republican currently campaigning for the Presidency.

I need to put this money in my grandchildrens piggy banks, because the government we have now has stolen their future.

This President has done nothing over the past 3 years but blow $100 of billions upon billions of the public's money, while blaming everybody and his brother for his own failed policies. Now he wants a billion dollars from the public to carry this on for another 4 years. Good grief!

I can say one thing, the talk about his audacity is not over blown. However, this is not the audacity of hope - it is the self serving audacity of arrogance and horrible policies.
