Barack Obama here

Attend one Obama rally and you are prominently committed to mailing list mania. Which means I get hourly updates from B on the day’s happenings. Thank goodness…otherwise I would have to read the newspaper or something. The $25 donation couldn’t have helped…(just like a stray dog – if you feed it once…). NOT that I am comparing Change I Can Believe In to a stray dog (that’s Bill Clinton’s job).

ANYWAY, it’s a good thing I have checked all my objectivity at the door with regards to President Obama because otherwise, I might JUST have become jaded by the daily correspondence from Messrs. Obama, Plouffe, Kerry, et al. Honestly…if your name is Kennedy, you have recently sent me an email. And they all start out the same way…

Maeve,

[I LOVE that we are on a first name basis…can I call you “B” – cuz I already do],

John Edwards/George McGovern/Ben Affleck here. This is a critical time in America’s history….

[I don’t know about those other two jokers, but if Ben Affleck is worried…]

Then there is the standard three paragraph description of “how-we’re-still-ahead-of-Hillary [“Scoreboard! Scoreboard!”] / getting-shellacked-in-WVa-doesn’t-matter [only uneducated rubes come from WVa] / you-can-make-a-difference-in-Kentucky [seriously...can ANYONE make a difference in Kentucky? They don’t even have Starbuck’s].

And amazingly, they all END the same way…
You got us where we are today. Please help by making another donation of $25 now.
[don’t forget…stray dog]

I am telling you what…all these emails from B are REALLY getting in the way of my Dancing with the Stars e-updates. Just sayin’.

BTW, that WVa thing makes more sense if you know that Nicola was born there =)
