ANOTHER "Today's Email" -- from Joe Biden
I removed myself from the DNC email list recently -- and never did join Obama's. Thought perhaps some of you may not have seen the email below in your in-box.
However, I do have a question; When did Obama's campaigin "promise to help Hillary pay down her campaign debt." and "honor an outstanding commitment we made during the election."?
Also, does anyone here think that THIS is well said; "retire her campaign debt. That's the money her campaign owes to the vendors across the country that make our political process possible."
Oh well, I already gave Hillary more money than I have ever given in any year to politics. My husband is currently inbetween job assignments, but I do hope that Hillary gets her debt paid. Frankly, I think Barack should dig deep and pay it off. I know he did for Dodd - and probably Biden and Richardson.

Dear Connie (Cameoanne),
Last week, Vice President-elect Joe Biden sent a special message to the members of the Obama/Biden online community urging them to help fulfill a promise to help Hillary pay down her campaign debt. We really appreciate Joe Biden's help, and I know you're just as proud of Hillary as I am. Now we're looking to close this past chapter of Hillary's story as she begins a new one and we need your help.
Please take a look at Vice President-elect Biden's message and join him in helping Hillary.
Thank you so much for everything you have done.
Katie Dowd

Subject: Our commitment to a friend
Katie --
President-elect Obama and I have been assembling our team, and we plan to hit the ground running next month.
We want to be ready to go, and that's why I'm asking you to help us honor an outstanding commitment we made during the election.
Our campaign pledged to help Senator Hillary Clinton -- one of the vital members of our team and our future Secretary of State -- retire her campaign debt. That's the money her campaign owes to the vendors across the country that make our political process possible.
Barack and I had the deepest respect for Hillary as an opponent on the campaign trail. Her undeniable intellect, talent, and passion strengthened Barack as a candidate and tested our movement for change.
We welcome Hillary as a partner in our administration, and I hope you will show your support by helping Barack fulfill our campaign promise.
Will you make a contribution of $100 or more now to retire Hillary's campaign debt?
I saw your generosity and commitment to this team throughout the election, and I know we can do it.
In the general election, Hillary was one of our strongest advocates. She traveled the country and did more than 70 events, raising money and bringing new supporters into our campaign.
As Secretary of State, she will be indispensable in furthering Barack's agenda for change.
Let's welcome Hillary to the team and thank her for her efforts in support of our campaign by helping to retire her debt to the hard-working individuals and small businesses that were a part of the election:

Your support and generosity got us this far, and I know I can count on it now.
Thank you,
Joe

That hillary email list and hillpac etc. are now all the property of the One.
I need to remove myself too.

...yesterday. I did not sign on to start being harrassed by Team PEBO, and I resent it that those fraud perpetrators now have my e-mail address.
"Right wing sledge hammers never, ever help us." Pacific John
from Biden. Odd.
"...Barack and I had the deepest respect for Hillary as an opponent on the campaign trail. Her undeniable intellect, talent, and passion strengthened Barack as a candidate and tested our movement for change."
Wait - how funny is it this email had to come from BIDEN, not Obama? C'mon Bam, don't be petty.
why isn't he doing it?
Are you telling me he has nothing left from the $800 million he spent to become President?
Puh-leez.
I thought he couldn't draw from those funds. But maybe he can. Maybe he's still refusing to pay off her debt, which is why the email is from Biden.
I have no doubt that if he wanted to, he would have found some way to do it through the national party structure.
He's just a petty, ungrateful, narcissistic manchild.
In other words: Bush III.
As soon as Hillary dropped-out, I started getting all kinds of crap from Obama people. I absolutely never signed-up for email from his website, so I surmised that Hillary's campaign gave him my information. That was the only time I have ever been mad at her. I started sending them sweet little love notes in reply every time I got an email. I couldn't even unsubscribe because they were coming from the cheeto gang, not a legit website. I finally had to block anything with Obama's name in it to stop them. PEBO has plenty enough money to pay off Hillary's debt without begging for more.
She is too smart to hand over her list before he pays off her debt. It was in the news too, that she was holding onto her list.
It's also a reason the DNC was pissed at her - she wouldn't share her list with them, Obama would.
Be mad at Hillary for legit reasons, she has screwed up some. But not on this.
all the camps turned over their lists per the agreement, except for Hillary. They knew better
