S & L is reporting on an email he received from President Barack Obama last night, shortly after Obama's speech. The email demagogues the usual capitalist suspects, and then - you guessed it - asks for money.
Apparently, trillions of tax dollars aren't enough for this administration.
A copy of that form letter is posted here. The big red 'donate' button is clickable. You get what you pay for so I gave 3 cents.
The 'Legal Compliance' list in the lower right hand corner has some interesting items. Number one is "I am a United States citizen or a permanent resident alien."
Number two is "This contribution is not made from the general treasury funds of a corporation, labor organization or national bank" - which SCOTUS recently struck down.
And number six is "The funds I am donating are not being provided to me by another person or entity for the purpose of making this contribution." This transports us back to Barack's heady days on the campaign trail when hundreds of millions of dollars were being raised every month - much of it suspect and potentially illegal from anonymous overseas contributors via untraceable gift cards.
Ironically, the same FEC that lost a recent SCOTUS ruling on campaign finance is the same FEC that audited John McCain's publicly financed campaign contributions, but refused to audit President Obama's campaign contributions.
Suddenly President Obama seems all concerned about "the rules" now.
Funny how that works.
