A friend of mine forwarded to me an e-mail they got from the Obama Administration-

Title of e-mail-

Something Unusual

From:[email protected]

[name redacted]

You've probably seen the headlines: Opponents of change are doing everything they can to delay health insurance reform. As a Republican strategy memo concluded, "If we slow this sausage-making process down, we can defeat it."

They're betting that as time goes by, our energy will flag, our movement will weaken, and they'll ultimately be able to block any change.

But they just don't get it -- thanks to the regular Americans who are reaching out in neighborhoods nationwide, our movement is expanding every day. In fact, over the weekend, we surpassed our big goal of 1 million people taking action for health insurance reform. And with your help, we'll keep growing and prove that our opponents' strategy of "delay, delay, delay" simply won't work.

So I want to ask you for something unusual: Can you chip in $1 each day until we pass real health insurance reform? A huge response will show the insurance companies and their allies in Congress that their delay tactics will only make our movement stronger.



Here's how it works: We'll bill your credit card for 30 days' worth of donations now and once a month until the President signs real health insurance reform into law.


{It goes on, blah, blah, blah}

Thank you,

Mitch

1 - Regarding XWL's crocodile link: Thanks for that. I sent it to my daughter. When she was little I used to tell her that the world is not a playground, meaning that you have to take some responsibility for your safety by exhibiting prudent behavior. It's become a joke between us now.

2 - Regarding Mark's linK White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it would be a "poignant" photo op proving people can discuss their differences.

It hasn't happened yet and he already knows it will be "poignant"? FOR PETE'S SAKE.

3 - I never got emails from the Bush administration. Can anybody remember his administration talking about the Democrats as "opponents"? I mean after he had won the election? Or any Republican president's administration doing that? I am seriously asking.

And what's the money for? TV commercial demagoguery? And the credit card withdrawals keep up until Obama signs health care into law - what if it never passes both houses? They'll be billed indefinitely?
