President Woos Donors in New Email by Offering…Court Time With ‘Micheal Freaking Jordan’

Aug. 7, 2012 2:07pm Benny Johnson

Team Obama has thought up another celebrity fundraiser and this one might also overlap with the First Lady’s fitness program. In an email to supporters — oddly titled “Micheal Freaking Jordan” — the President offers a select group of donors a chance to play ball with some NBA greats. The message of the email is clear: Donate, even if you don’t like basketball. The solicitation urges supporters to give and think of bringing a friend of loved one “who’s got game.”

The email ends by asking you to think about the children who would love to do this as well.

This solicitation is one of the first since the new monthly fundraising numbers came out showing Romney out-raising Obama for the third straight month.

A copy of the fundraising letter is below:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Why does President Obama hate white people so much? I’m crying racist here! Doesn’t diversity mean anything to this White House? All of these athletic stars are black. I demand equal opportunities for athletes of other colors!

  Let’s face it. Where would those guys be if it were not for government roads to get people to the arenas to see them play? They didn’t get where they are with just their hard work and talent. No sir, it took big government to help them along.

  Of course it took govt intervention to help them out: welfare, free school lunches, Medicaid, WIC, Section 8 housing, food stamps…..

  Even Barkley jumped ship and went to the dems, 91% of blacks STILL support obozo, as do a majority of people under 40 and other minorities and lets not forget woman and white liberals, you know who to blame when this country falls, Lord help us all …… not to worry though, I know where I am going when I die.

  In case you have not figured it out
  Obama, Holder etc are screaming racist.
  So are 95% of blacks in America.
  The stupid white suburbanite is so PC’d that the are literally afraid not to vote for Barry for fear of being labeled a racist – sad but true – They are just weak and stupid!

  There is a difference between “wait” until you see and the fact that this PoS President is actually doing. Its funny watching his campaign falling apart. He cannot run on Hope and Change…..but he would be better off doing it. People can “Hope” he gets his arse out of the White house so we can all keep some “Change” we have left.

The President set records last election with donations.
Never before had money like that come in to an elections.

Now – this jackass is standing on the corner hitting up passersby for spare change.

How could this have happened to my country?

We have a circus for a government and a clown for our leader.

Mich ea l? Again, Blaze? Why do I bother with this site? You cannot spell the most common male first name in America?

It was spelled correctly in the reprinted email, so don’t blame Obama’s campaign.

Blaze, have you no pride? Have you no respect for your readers? Care you not for your credibility?

I hope a thousand trolls lambast me for reading this thoroughly unprofessional site, because I deserve it.

  Dear WANT,
  
  Standards, friend. Standards. You’re a traditional conservative. Doesn’t that mean you want to uphold traditional standards in areas such as morality, decency, education, Shouldn’t proper use of the English language fall into that category?
  
  The “slippery slope” is the commies’ best friend.
  
  I heard the song, “Wake Up Little Susie” the other day. Read the lyrics. Fifty years ago, two kids innocently fell asleep at a movie theater. Then they “[were] in trouble deep.” Their “reputations [were] shot.” And even this: “[Their] goose [was] cooked.”
  
  Now those were standards. How did we get from there to here? Here’s how: when someone pointed out falling standards, others replied, “Who cares!!!!!!!!!!”
