Can't get much lower than $3. for a night out dinner. I have to think that either the food really stinks or BO (the host) does for that thrift store price. In either case, for my money, I'd rather spend the $3. on a crap shoot. At least, I would get to experience an adrenalin rush moment -- win, lose or draw.

Not everyone knows how to prepare for a dinner like this. As someone who's eaten countless meals with my husband, I want to tell you the one thing to do if you're selected to join him...

Just relax. Barack wants this dinner to be fun, and he really loves getting to know supporters like you.

I hope you'll take him up on it before Friday's deadline.

Will you donate $3 or more today and be entered to have dinner with Barack?

These dinners mean a lot to Barack. They're a chance for him to talk with a few of the people who are driving the campaign — and a chance for him to say thank you.

So come prepared to tell your story, and say whatever's on your mind.

Don't miss the opportunity to be there. Donate $3 today, before the September 30th deadline:

Thanks,

Michelle

How cold. At least she could have closed with "love and kisses". :rolleyes:

And I bet these el cheapo dinners mean a lot to BO. The only thing that has dried up faster than his voters' support was the floor to the Red Sea when Moses parted it. He needs every dollar he can get.

Are you seriously this dense? It's a lottery. Everyone who contributes $3 is not having dinner with the President. Only the winners of the lottery. I am quite certain the food will be better than anything you've ever eaten and the company will be infinitely better.

Mosty on a stretch insinuating those he disagrees with politically haven't experienced quality food.

Only question remaining is how many tickets did HE buy and if he wins will he go into his jag about Wash. Generals/Harlem globetrotters?

All of sudden, this administration is going to try to wax honest? Biden confesses that his boss own the bad economy. Something smells here.

‘We’re in Charge’: Biden Says Bad Economy Belongs to Obama, Not to Bush

Vice President Joe Biden said the troubled U.S. economy belongs to the Obama administration — not the Bush administration — in an interview with a Florida radio station Wednesday.

That his administration “inherited” a struggling economy has been a consistent talking point for President Barack Obama since taking office, but Biden told WLRN “that’s not relevant“ because ”we are are the ones in charge”:

This is a huge admission. (Too bad Obama lacked the courage and character to admit this himself!) I'm beginning to wonder if this kind of confession is prelude to an announcement that BO is going to step down? I have to think he's under intense pressure by the DNC to settle for one term. If BO stays, he not only risks losing the WH for the Party, but the Senate as well due to voter backlash. The last thing the Dems want is another repeat of the historical 2010 elections. And the results of the last two special elections signal that voter sentiment has not changed since 2010.

I just discovered this piece. Maybe Biden's confession is setting this scenario up in hopes of saving the Senate:

Fmr. Clinton Adviser: 'Very Possible' Obama Will Bow Out of Presidential Race - For Now

In an interview with conservative radio icon Sean Hannity, former President Clinton adviser and campaign manager Dick Morris stated that, after speaking with a Democratic strategist, he thinks it is “very possible” that President Obama might acquiesce to requests from the Democratic leadership in Congress and bow out of the 2012 race, leaving the door open for him to return sometime in the future.

“I asked a top Democratic strategist the other day and he thought that it was possible that, in January, Harry Reid comes to Obama and says, ‘Look you cost us control of the House last year, you’re going to cost us control of the Senate this year. For the good of the party you have to step aside’” said Morris.

“And, then, (Obama) pulls a Lyndon Johnson, he says ‘I’m fighting to solve the recession, and problem is because of partisanship and my re-election people reject everything I say because of partisanship, so I’m going to not run for president and focus my full time attention on solving this recession’ and then go out popular,” Morris added

And then when we consider that Reid has stuffed BO's "Jobs Act" under the heap of other Senate business, this tells me he doesn't want the Senate's fingerprints on that bill at all. Maybe this is Reid's way of telling BO that it's time for you to Moveon.org. :D

It's hard to not connect the dots this way.

Yeah I posted this same thing about a week or so ago. As time passes, I am more and more of the belief that Obama will either step down or the DNC will put someone up against him (like perhaps Hillary). The last thing the dem party wants to do is lose the WH and possibly senate!

Barack Obama will not drop out of the race. Dick Morris has no credibility. He is portrayed as a former Clinton adviser, but he long ago broke away from the Clintons. He claims a Democratic strategist told him...... That is called hearsay. Not admissible in court and Morris was not even under Oath.

I can't recall any of Dick Morris' predictions coming true expect that the Reps would win the house last year, but everyone but Hcap knew that was going to happen. Didn't Morris write a book saying 2008 would be a race between Condi and Hillary? When I see Rove on TV I listen to his insights. When I see Morris I figure he's trying to sell books.

Its hard to take Morris seriously, he's got a new theory every week but he does hit on something once in awhile.
I don't think the scenario of Obama stepping down is that far fetched, at least in the sense that I'm sure it is being discussed.
They've lost the house, they will lose the senate, and now that it is apparent to even the most slow witted that the emperor isn't wearing any clothes and is heading for a landslide defeat, there are bound to be some that would like to fire the coach so to speak.

Obama will never drop out. He and his wife like "the life" far too much to do that. The exclusive vacations, the parties, the gourmet food, the golf, the shopping trips. I think it's much more likely that he ditches Biden and picks up Hillary as a running mate. With a billion dollars in campaign funds, we're going to see the dirtiest campaigning ever with no mention of his record. All we're going to hear from him is more of the same. He "inherited", the tsunami, the earthquake, Irene, Bush, the Tea Party, etc. Stupid people will give him a pass but I doubt the enthusiasm will be anywhere near the 2008 "hope and change" trickery.

You're probably right. Obama is not smart enough to play the victim card on himself and bow out as this country's most patriotic martyr ever, and leave the door open for another run down the road. Instead, he'd rather alienate himself from his own Party. He'd rather do battle with his own and with Republicans. He'd rather sacrifice the senate on his altar -- throw the senate under the bus. And there is a very good chance, this is exactly what will happen come the elections. The senate will likely be lost.

Meanwhile, Durbin has announced that the votes are NOT in the senate for BO's stupid, non-existent bill. The bill is so toxic that the only way the senate will pass it, is if though a bi-partisan effort. The Dems want the Republicans to share the blame.
