"By donating $25 or more today, you'll help us get ready for the fights ahead — and you'll get our new 'Health Care Reform' t-shirt, to commemorate the incredible work this movement did throughout the fight for health care reform," spins the Conman in Chief's latest two-bit fundraiser. No thanks. Our "Scott Brown US Senate January 19" t-shirt is a much better fit.
This just in over the email transom:
Sissy, add your name to mine — as a proud health care reform co-signer today.
The bill I just signed puts Americans in charge of our own health care [and] for millions of Americans, many of the benefits of reform will begin this year — some even taking effect this afternoon.
Guess Mr. Obama doesn't follow our blog that closely. Stay tuned, Mr. President. We'll have more to say about all that on Wednesday, April 14 at 10 a.m., when Sarah Palin headlines the biggest and best ever Boston Tea Party on the Common.
Update: "Is there nothing Democrats won't try to cash in on?" asks Dan Riehl, with a link.
Update II: "Obama, the Spammer-in-Chief," writes Amy Kane in the comments:
Yesterday, SEIU asked me to send a thank-you to my representative, Carol Shea-Porter-Pelosi [We blogged about her cowardly flight to Massachusetts for a Pelosi-headlined fundraiser in the old Charles Street Jail a couple of weeks back] So I wrote about it.
She'll be getting her thank you on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010.
Be sure to read the whole thing. One parting morsel:
Thank You, Carol Shea-Porter and all the rest of you who rammed health care through, and pretended it was a fundamental 'right.' Without you, I never would have appreciated what I have, understood what I believe in, and realized what I am willing to fight for.
They hope flattery will create change in your thinking.

Lori:
I put myself on THAT mailing list to keep an eye on what the "bad guys" were up to. ;)
Will you be joining us on Boston Common on the 14th?

Heheh....Like the ferociously mousing kitty getting a love letter from the rats in the cellar...

My first impulse on seeing that t-shirt was to grab the emesis basin. I imagine reading the email from that list must have a similar effect. Would for me.
I will console myself with the ferociously mousing kitty comment, a keeper. I know Sissy will be that.

What a joke.
Obambi claims his health care plan is a god-send. Meanwhile, it doesn't cover children with pre-existing conditions. By the terms set out by Democrats for the last year of this health care debate/debacle, Barry-Care is a failure.
If that isn't the audacity of chutzpuh, I don't know what is.
