COMMENT

 You may think that after winning the election, the

Obama team should be done raising money for its

campaign fund. But Sandy Hook apparently presents acrisis too good to go to waste, so with a new email from

David Axelrod, team Obama is using the President's remarks

about the Sandy Hook massacre to raise more money.

The new campaign email carrying the approval of Obama campaign chief David Axelrod

urges campaign supporters to watch Obama's address made at Newton, Connecticut and

also features a "donate now" button.

"The next chapter begins today. Stand with President Obama for the next four years," the

email is headlined.

 Axelrod doesn't urge donations in the text of the email, but the "donate now" buttons are

 both in the email and at the MyBarackObama.com (http://www.barackobama.com/news/entry/president-obama-in-newtown-connecticut) page where team Obama is

hosting the video of the speech.

Says Jeryl Bier (http://speakwithauthority-jsm.blogspot.com/2012/12/never-

let-crisis.html):

Not one, but two buttons -- two opportunities to donate to the Obama campaign. Not

to the Red Cross, or to a memorial fund for the children and adults killed in Newtown.

How hard would it have been to shift the focus, disable the buttons, for just one email,

 just one blog post? But the show must go on.

The fact that any donate now button appears on any messages about the tragedy at Sandy 

Hook elementary is quite crass, indeed.

Why does obama even still HAVE a donation page? Didn't he get the memo that he was " reelected"?

Leave it to the Crime Syndicate formerly known as the Democratic Party to raise money by dancing in the blood

of little children. The depravity of President Caligula and his henchmen is limitless.

I'll give the web page a pass... it looks l ike the "donate" buttons there are part of the standard page frame

layout, and not part of what was put up to celebrate his speech.

The email, of course, is another matter.

By the way, your link to the Obama campaign site doesn't work... it should point to "Newtown", not "Newton".
