Just responded to latest Obama fundraising email:

[Raven]

you know, I'm tapped out financially. I have "risen to the occaison" many times in the past and I honestly don't feel that you have. I don't know what the grand strategy was on your part for this debate but, to me, you looked whipped, you looked down and you didn't call the liar on his lies. I will definately vote for you but I'm discouraged. Also, and I know this isn't your fault, but somebody in your campaign could at least spell my name correctly...especially when you're asking me for $ I don't have.

Enough said.

1. Awesome response

And highly constructive.

[Arkana]

2. Wow. I'm sure the low-level staffer who read your email was properly chastised.

[Raven]

3. You know, I hope I gave some 'low level staffer" somethinng to

think about. It sure made me feel good.

[HuckleB]

6. Like what?

[fleur-de-lisa]

4. Ha! Good one!

I thought the OP kind of stinks anyway. Enough of the President-bashing already.

[Raven]

5. Honey, I've been around here a lot longer than

you have...don't tell me I stink...sometimes out President needs a bashing.

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. Buh--bye . . . blocked!

[MineralMan]

12. You call another DUer "Honey?" Really?

Well, that's special, for sure...

[HuckleB]

7. Indeed. It was pointless yesterday morning, and it makes no sense today.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Major props to you, my dear Raven!

You did a very good thing, IMHO.

I simply could not have said it better than you did.



And pooh to the folks who disagree with you.

[Raven]

11. I love you, Peg! n/t

[randome]

10. You could have used the opportunity to advocate for what you think is important.

Like climate change. IMO, that isn't getting enough attention. I understand your disappointment but that didn't seem as constructive as it could have been.

[Raven]

13. Shit! I would have gone on forever if I had

listed the things I'm disappointed with. This man is doing the best he can under awful circumstances and I am totally with him...but...it is always a good thing for people to tell you what they think...and I did.

[randome]

14. Agreed.

[tokenlib]

15. We can still support the President and express our concerns and frustrations...

Aren't lower lever staffers supposed to help "take the pulse" and let the higher ups know what people are concerned about. We support the President --but we can still express ourselves.. I just called the White House comment line abut the debate Social Security comment --and the rights of the "tweakees" to know how their lives will be impacted...and I'm not done yet.

The President often says that "WE" need to make things happen--so he is asking for us to respond...
