I warned you not to pay $5 for the latest Obama dinner raffle, Warning on $5 Obama dinner raffle. Based on past performance, as the quarterly reporting date approached, Obama would drop the price.
And sure enough, a reader forwarded me an e-mail with the $3 offer (full e-mail image below)(emphasis in original):
As chief operating officer of this campaign, I’m the person people come to when they want to spend the money you’ve donated.All the budgets, calculations, and planning lead to a simple “yes” or “no.” Yes, you can buy coffee and clipboards for neighborhood organizers in Ohio. No, you can’t have a fancy computer when a cheaper one does the job. That sort of thing.Every team on the campaign has submitted their plans for the rest of this year — opening field offices, registering voters, building technology. And it all costs money.I can’t say yes to everything — but what you do right now can help me say yes to more.We have a critical fundraising deadline coming up on September 30th.Help me say yes by giving $3 or more today.* * *Help me say yes to what we need to do to put our plans in motion by donating $3 or more today — you’ll even be automatically entered for a chance to have dinner with President Obama
Those of you who paid the $5. Well, you’ve been played. Again. Slurpee not included this time.
