Obama is supposed to be sitting in Washington DC keeping a watchful eye on Sandy and the aftermath, is he not? With this in mind, I started noting the emails coming from his camp.
Around 1:31 PM, October 29, 3012, Obama did send out an email offering to let us donate to the Red Cross via his website, however, it wasn’t long until the campaign donation solicitations began arriving. Michelle Obama’s request for donations (for the campaign) was sent at 8:22 PM and talks about the raffle.
After it was mentioned that Romney was more focused on helping the victims of the devastating storm, here comes another email from the Obama campaign which mentions giving to the Red Cross via the Obama website again and a copy of the previous 1:31 PM email. But then comes the 3:26 PM email (on October 30, 2012) that says, “Forward this: How Obamacare helps.” Yep, let’s use the devastation of Sandy to promote Obamacare and Obama’s campaign.
It didn’t stop there.
At 9:09 PM here comes the email, “I’m not going to sugarcoat this:”. Indeed, another email worried about the extra money Mitt Romney and the Republicans raised and soliciting campaign donations.
What happened to the concern for the victims of Sandy? Sure was brief and short lived, was it not? The Obama campaign and donations for it are apparently far more important.
Says a great deal. Says a great deal indeed.
