Obama Pleads With Donors: 'I've Got Gray Hair'

In a conference call on Friday, conducted from Air Force One, a reportedly tired and weary President Obama pled with donors to send cash now. “The majority on this call maxed out to my campaign last time. I really need you to do the same this time,” Obama said. He continued:



In 2008 everything was new and exciting about our campaign. And now I’m the incumbent president. I’ve got gray hair. People have seen disappointment because folks had a vision of change happening immediately. And it turns out change is hard, especially when you’ve got an obstructionist Republican Congress.



Nevertheless, we’ve gotten more done in the last three years than most presidents do in eight years … I just hope you guys haven’t become disillusioned. I hope all of you still understand what’s at stake and why this is so important … I still believe in you guys, and I hope you still believe in me and the possibilities of this campaign …. I can’t do this by myself, and the progress we’ve made could unravel pretty quickly.

If he had implimented changes the American people wanted, he'd be ok. But he decided to do what he wanted to do and even said he'd go over the head of Congress. It will unravel in November. And he will have no one to blame but George Bust. He surely is not responsible!

??? 436 The initiatives he has pushed were front and center during a campaign which he won pretty handedly. How do you call this running against what the people wanted?
