Friggin Ridiculous – Are This Raffles Even Legal?

Home - by - August 7, 2012 - 16:23 America/New_York - 32 Comments

From Mary From Marin-

Another “low.”

When do we get the chance to “shovel manure in the garden with Michelle” ?

Or…how about a night out at a certain (in)famous location in Chicago?
!snip!

Obama - Biden

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 you’ll get to meet President Obama and Michael Jordan over dinner, 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 or whatever you can, and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win.


Hit the court with Patrick Ewing and Melo? Trade stories with the President? This is the kind of stuff your kids will tell their kids, and no one will believe it until you show them a photo.

Don’t worry if suiting up with hoops stars isn’t your thing.

I know you’ve got a kid or a friend who would love nothing more than to play with their heroes while you cheer them on from a courtside seat.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to chip in and support the President, it’s time to get off the bench.

Donate $3 to automatically get your name in the hat:


Even though I’m jealous, I hope you win.

    “I’m so jealous of you that I can barely write the rest of this email.”

    Are you freaking kidding me?! Is there really any imbecile who would read that email and actually BELIEVE that sentence?

    Where did they get this idiot? Harlequin?

    “This is the kind of stuff your kids will tell their kids.” Had to chuckle on that one. So the party of abortion, gay marriage, fatherless and childless homes, will be telling their kids about the dinner? I guess those Democrats who actually do have children (out of wedlock) will have something to talk to them about when they visit them in prison after being convicted of most of the murders in this country.

    The same idiots that play the lottery and think they are going to win are the same people that will donate. I bet the winners have already been picked.

    I’ve heard of BO and Jordan – none of the others.

    I wouldn’t pay $3 for a chance to have dinner with someone I liked, much less with that rabble.

    How many of these “raffles” have there been now? 10-12?
    How many of the “winners” have we seen. I think on the first one or two, the media showed the winners “enjoying” their meal with Barry. But I have not seen any since.
    It is impossible for them to pick winners at random. There are too many Secret Service background checks that need to be done before they will let anyone spend time with the the Won.

    First of all Jordan, stop ruining my memories of 80′s and 90′s basketball.

    Second of all, this thing sounds like a scam. “you may already be a winner, just send us $3000 in donations.”

    I saved $3 and bought a bottle of Trader Joes Two Buck Chuck. Someone would have to pay me $3 to have dinner with him, and another $3 to keep my mouth shut.

    @Vagabond trader: I LMAO at your remark, if I could I would have given you 10 thumbs up. :)

    Yeah I know you paid your $3 but, that only means you won the contest. You’ll need to cough up a lot more to get through the door and way more to meet the Pres and the celebs!

    “Are these raffles even legal?” Why ask the question? Do you think he’d care about the answer? What difference does “legal” make anyway? The whole thing can be solved by Executive Order, right? RIGHT?? Yeah, I thought so.

    Do it matter?

    It isn’t any use to whine on about the unfairness of it all. It’s time to fight fire with fire.

    They whine it’s illegal….sue me, see ya in court!

    That’s their game, play it!

    I’d like to trade stories with barack. Hey Barry we were in the same class in Columbia in ’83. How did you make out with Prof. Unmanski, rember him, the commie with the beard and the thick glasses? How about that broad with the big tits who always sauntered in late and sat up front?

    How’s that whole “Restoring America’s Image” coming along? This idiot has made us a laughing stock. Can you imagine the sheer giddyness in the translators’ offices in Russia, China, Iran etc. You know the guy who reads and translates these things for Putin was thinking, “Oh Man. I’m going to get a whole steak to myself for this one”. Jeez, what’s next?

    FOR JUST $3 YOU CAN HAVE THE PRESIDENT MOW YOUR LAWN, WASH YOUR DISHES, OR DO YOUR LAUNDRY!
    OR

    ENTER TODAY TO HAVE BARACK DOG-SIT FOR YOU!
    (well, maybe that one wouldn’t be such a good idea!)
