Obama Campaign - "You Can't Take Care of Yourself"

Ronald Reagan is known for some epic one-liners. My personal favorite is "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'".

And the Obama campaign has revealed that they, like, totally disagree with the man who saved America from Jimmy Carter's policies. Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager, sent out another bulk email with the headline "You're on your own".

It's a scare approach; the latest campaign strategy from the Messina team. Basically, well, here's the text from the email:

Friend --

By this time next year, health reform could be gone.

That's what I woke up thinking about today.

As we celebrated Obamacare's second birthday this week, all you heard from the other side were which methods of creative destruction they want to use to take it down on Day One in office.

If you like Obamacare and don't want it to fall into the wrong hands, donate $3 or more to the Two-Term Fund today.

The Republican message on health care in five words or less:

You're on your own.

Got a kid with a pre-existing condition? Tough. Need insurance after graduating from college? Too bad. Enjoying the free preventive care under the law? Well...

Now, honestly, doesn't that just scare the tar out of you? It's supposed to! These types of email messages are designed to create a fear-based dependency on government. The sad thing is so many people will fall prey to this scam. And make no mistake - this is one of the biggest scams ever... ever! By the way - there are worse things than being "on your own".

Obama Campaign uses President's "Underdog" Status as Fundraising Tool

In his latest email from the Obama regime campaign headquarters, Jim Messina, Campaign Manager - Obama for America is using the apparent slump in the polls regarding Obama to do some "underdog" fundraising; perhaps hoping to capitalize on the whole "everyone loves the underdog" sentiment.

The email, dated Mar 13, said:

"Friend --

If the general election were held today, President Obama would lose to Mitt Romney -- according to the latest poll from Washington Post-ABC News.

Now, many other polls put the President on top, but all point to the same reality: We're looking at a race that will be tighter than you think. And the other side has groups ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to tear down President Obama.

We cannot underestimate someone like Romney who has shown he will spend and say anything to win.

We need to turn up the pressure now.

If the idea of a President Romney scares you, it's time to own a piece of this campaign.

Donate $3 or more today"

Scare tactics and straw men. "If the idea of a President Romney scares you"? If there's anything scarier than "President Romney" it's four more years of Obama policies coming from the White House. That aside let's be honest - after Tuesday's wins by Santorum it could still be anyone's race. We may see this one be decided at the convention and whatever the case, every state should be allowed to vote for their man and see a nominee emerge from the GOP Convention. It's election time... it's not nasty or divisive... it's not unusual or a-typical. No-one who's still in should bow out as some suggest. This is the vetting process... and Barack Obama can be beaten by any one of them.

Obama Campaign versus The Koch Brothers - The Battle Continues!

The battle rages on in the email sphere between the Obama campaign and the Koch brothers. In the latest email from Jim Messina, Campaign Manager - Obama for America, he notified those of us on the official Obama campaign email list that the emails are flying between the representative for the Koch brothers and himself.

Messina is `demanding`that the Koch brothers disclose who the donors are who have contributed the a PAC, AFP, which is backed by the Koch brothers and is promoting a republican challenge to Obama`s re-election.

The Koch representative responded with "... it has tens of thousands of members and contributors from across the country and from all walks of life." Messina wants them to "prove" it. He writes:

"I'd like them to prove it. So I wrote back, challenging the Koch brothers -- the same guys who recently called the 2012 election "the mother of all wars" -- to disclose for the public exactly who's behind the millions of dollars they're spending on attack ads."

Messina then goes on to provide a link to a petition which demands the following:

"Americans for Prosperity, the special-interest front group run by the oil billionaire Koch brothers, is claiming that its donors are "tens of thousands" of folks "from all walks of life."

We're asking them to prove it by disclosing their donors to the public.

Demand the truth by adding your name."

Well, Mr. Messina, we`ve got a few demands of our own. We demand to see the President`s REAL birth certificate. We demand to know why Barack Obama has a Connecticut Social Security Number. We demand an apology for his recent racist remarks asking all blacks to vote for him specifically. Let`s talk about those demands, Mr. Messina. Until then we suspect you have no right demanding anything from anyone else.
