Subject: I can’t believe I’m typing this
I’m so jealous of you that I can barely write the rest of this email.
Imagine shooting hoops with Carmelo Anthony, Patrick Ewing, Sheryl Swoopes, Kyrie Irving, and Alonzo Mourning. Oh, and President Obama and Michael Jordan will be there, too.
Now stop dreaming and make it happen. You and a guest of your choice could join President Obama and some of the greatest basketball stars for a special night at the Obama Classic.
Pitch in $3, and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win.

One more reason to not be a basketball fan.
Good to see he still looks out for the 2% folks.
You have to give the bozo’s team credit for managing to make the bum look like a man of the people, common folk.
I half expect to see Malia and Sasha on the auction block next.
I agree. I thought that race baiting con men like Al Sharpton were the exception and not the rule. Sadly, with African Amercian support for Obama in the high 80’s, I see that is not the case. They are supporting him just for the color of his skin and not his record.
The funny thing is the NBA stars do not realize that when he attacks the rich and wants to take their money, he means them.
I’m waiting for the “Tone Up Your Arms With Michelle Obama” event.
Or “Laughs and Pancakes with Janeane Garofalo, Kathy Griffin and Joy Behar”
They’ll have to PAY people to attend that one…
You have to wonder what America has come to when this is what a sitting president does to raise money.
Oh, goody – over-paid thugs with glandular problems.
For someone that loaths capitalism so much he certainly does auction off often enough.
It isn’t about raising money. Nothing to do with that. It’s about getting votes.
Obama is manipulating the electorate. He’s defining Romney as The Rich Man who is aloof and lives with the elite. And he’s defining Obama as ‘one of the local guys’, the guy you play basketball with, the guy who doesn’t have a huge financial empire. The guy who isn’t a capitalist but just an ordinary next-door neighbour guy.
Obama hopes you’ll forget his Martha’s Vineyard vacations, his Spanish vacations..Notice he’s not doing any of that this year. He’s just ‘one of the guys’. Furthermore, he’s Robin Hood; he wants to get that evil money from Those Rich Greedy People Like Romney ..and give it to you. He’s just a nice guy.
Bit of choom time, shoot some hoop, hang out.
Not like he’s busy with the US economy or anything.
Actually that’s what’s next up. Become an honorary member of the choom gang.
It’s enough to make ones leg tingle. Cheers
“Not like he’s busy with the US economy or anything.”
Oh he’s been busy with it all right, it’s about time he took a break from fixing things.
I agreed to donate $1000 if they can substitute my favourite hockey players for those basketball people, Gordie Howe,Rocket Richard,Bob Baun,Doug Harvey,Bobby Orr, Henri Richard,Wendell Clark….
Obama IS God, in his own humble estimation, so he should have no problem producing ALL of those guys for a fundraiser.
It’s too bad this contest can’t ‘go horribly wrong’?
“No purchase, payment, or contribution necessary to enter or win. Contributing will not improve chances of winning”

Might be worth tossing away some cash to have the opportunity to bounce a ball off The O’s melon.
The thought of the smell of the subsequent dog pile is enough to put me off, though. In a non-racist way, naturally…
I mean the cologne miasma, of course.
“I half expect to see Malia and Sasha on the auction block next”
Kate…you are probably closer to the truth than most think.
Any day now we might see a $3.00 chance for an evening with Michelle in the hot tub. And *wink wink* anything goes.
It is increasingly apparent that there are absolutely no depths that this narcissist, incompentent excuse for a president will descend to in order to gain reelection.
Sad to say, we are witnessing, in real time, the death of America.
I’d sign-up if Obama wasn’t going to be there. Shooting hoops with MJ and PE sounds like a blast.
Wouldn’t walk across the street to bounce a basketball….let alone bounce a basketball with a dickhead.
This just out from Romney’s camp!
$2.99 gets you a chance to ride a horny brahma bull down a chute onto a bent-over ‘bama effigy.

Dass Raciss. Actually, I’ve always maintained that the only reason Barry feeds those two is to avoid alienating the soccer mom vote. Now a romantic evening a deux in a nice restaurant with either Valerie Jarrett or David Axelrod, depending on your gender and/or proclivities? Maybe you have a spare kidney you aren’t using much. Donate and be entered the raffle…
I’ll pass on the Obama Classic, but sign me up for the “Join Barack and Michelle As They Pack Up All Their Crap Preparatory to Leaving the White House” gathering.
ET 1:32 – ain’t that the truth. Little Nell will be dragging herself from her deathbed, bravely out collecting pennies from Andersen’s Matchstick Girl to do her little part helping kind King Barry in his quest to bring doctors to all the starving children down in Tom-All-Alone’s where there ain’t no rooves, proper-like, guv’ner, before this is over with. Romney is… Voldemort or something.
I’m beginning to think democracy wasn’t such a hot idea. People are dumb.
In response to Rob K “when is the hot tub party with Joe Biden and his teamster buddies coming up?“, that fundraising event is reserved for LGBT enthusiasts. For after all, them teamsters sure know what to do in a hot tub…
If Obama is as graceful as Chretien was on the basketball court,I’d consider playing with him.

I’d almost deign to be impressed if he conjured up The Rocket!

The jerk has only been POTUS for 3 1/2 years and it’s the Obama “Classic”?
The guy is a legend in his own mind, I’d consider ponying up $3 for a chance to throw an elbow into his smug yap.
Kate, 12:56p.m. and others:
It depends on what the meaning of “over” is.
Careful now, Oz, or the Praetorian Guard shall pay you a visit. And let me assure you it will NOT be the “Comfy Chair” that they use on you.
Obama: massive fund-raising drives auctioning the chance to hang with Obama and his one-percenter pals. And Romney is the pal of the rich?
Indeed, ET. Remember that John Kerry rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous and look what it cost him. Obama is very much separated from the populace and would not want it any other way. His attempts at the “common touch” are attempts to appeal to the “proles”.
He also needs his ego stroked. It’s not like he has a good or even satisfactory record to run on.
anyone i know who played the game of basketball, bristles………………he’s got no game, it’s obvious, this pi$$es me off, he plays basketball like he plays golf, too much and poorly.
If Michael Jordan is going to show up, can Kim Jong-un be far behind? Maybe he can give Ohbummer some pointers on how to impose a police state, and on hook shot technique.
Too bad he can’t contribute to the re-election fund, not being American. Unless someone can conveniently photoshop a birth certificate.
Take heart Mamba…not all of em…
There’s no whore like a vote whore.

No, that’s phase 2…everyone who donated the $3 for the basketball game will be told “Donate $100 or else you’ll be put in the draw for a hot tub party with the VP!”
