Quoted:
For those who said it will be dinner via a webcam or something, here's an email I got:
Friend ––
You got an email from the President a couple days ago, inviting you to sit down to dinner with him.
I know some people might think this is just some kind of trick or something. It's not.
The fact is that someday soon, four people reading this note right now will be on a plane to have dinner with President Obama in Washington, or Chicago, or wherever he might be that day.
Think about that for a second. The four people who win will sit down with the President of the United States of America –– not for a two-minute photo-op or a quick meet-and-greet, but for a private meal with face-to-face conversation. That's just not something too many people will ever get to do.
The President obviously has very little time to spend on anything related to the campaign. And this is how he chooses to spend it –– having real, substantive conversations with people like you.
This is really something you should be a part of.
WTF?
Wherever he might be that day?
So if someone were to "win" the amazing prize of a dinner with the president, it could be a shitty hotel restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska or something like that, because he happens to be campaigning that day? ... and you'd have to pay your own flight (and hotel) to get there?
"Congratulations! You won. He's in Mongolia that day. We think you'll enjoy the Yak placenta hour d'ouvres"
What a fucking gyp! To me, a contest like this IMPLIES that it would be dinner in D.C., most likely at the White House.
That's hilarious and retarded.
