Obama Fundraising Phone Call

Obama thinks he's a star. He thinks people swoon at the chance to hear his voice and talk to him briefly.

He thinks that the chance of a phone call from the president will prompt people to donate to his reelection campaign.

His latest fundraising e-mail is sort of pathetic. It seems desperate.

The subject line of the e-mail is "If I don't call you." Usually those types of lines end up in my spam folder, along with the other perverted solicitations.

Here's the text:

Friend --

I enjoy talking about fundraising deadlines as much as I imagine you enjoy hearing about them.

But this Friday's deadline is important.

It's a chance for us to prove how we're different from any campaign in politics: We rely on ordinary Americans giving what they can -- one grassroots donation at a time.

This is not just a campaign. It's a chance for each of us as citizens to organize and change the course of history.

And before we close the books this Friday at midnight, I hope you'll become a part of it.

Please donate $3 or more today.

I'll be calling some grassroots donors like you by phone this week, so I can say thank you.

And if I don't call you, there's a chance I'll see you at dinner with three other supporters sometime soon.

Even if I don't get to thank you personally, every single donation counts:

Thanks for doing your part,

Barack

Donate three bucks and Obama might give you a call.

He comes cheap.

It will probably be a robocall.
