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:

Posted on August 7, 2012 at 2:59pmWhy 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!

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!!!!!!!!!!”
