In the most recent personal email from the Obama campaign HQ they've recruited outgoing POTUS right hand man Reggie Love to push the lottery to win a meeting with the first couple. Reggie opens with a telling of his love for being Barack's "body man".
"You all have to do this" he writes (or agreed to the text). He's referring to a lottery with a $3 entrance fee in order to get a chance at a personal meeting and dinner with the Prez and his woman. We've been documenting this campaign for many weeks now as you can see from our article archive. Now, with Reggie on his way out, the campaign is pushing hard to get those last remaining dollars in before midnight of Dec 31 when the deadline ends for the campaign to cash in on a double dipping loophole in the election fundraising law - $2500 for the Primary election and an additional $2500 for the General election.
Say - didn't the former, disgraced, shamed governor of Illinois recently get 14 years in prison for similar activity? Isn't selling personal meetings with the President of the United States equally wrong - and perhaps even illegal? In't it?
