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.
