Obama: 'Hey' Give Me Money

My good buddy Barack sent me the following email, subject line "Hey":

Mary --

1,332 days. That's how many days I have left as president.

If you factor in the political circus around the midterm elections and eventually the next presidential campaign getting started, the days to focus Congress and the media on the work that needs doing are even fewer.

My administration can do many things at once: Right now, public servants are doing everything from helping people find jobs, to researching cures, to keeping us safe. And you and people like you across the country can mobilize around many issues at once -- immigration reform, gun safety, climate change, marriage equality.

But here's the thing: Our opponents know that Congress and the media tend to focus on one thing at a time.

More importantly, they know that if they can amplify or invent anything that distracts from our agenda, that's one more day burned off the clock.

That's their strategy. Ours must be to not get distracted. The stakes are too high, and the time is too short.

Say you're in today:

Thank you,

Barack
1,332 days.

That's not good, but it's better than 1,333.

I think it's offensive that Obama considers Benghazi and his IRS scandal and his AP/James Rosen records scandal to be invented distractions.

No, Barack, I'm not in.
