For over a year, I have been receiving emails from BarackObama.com. I’ve received all types of messages, from ones imploring me to vote, defending TARP, and refuting “scare tactics”… to other messages peddling Obama holiday mugs.
On Monday, I received the following e-mail from Jeremy Bird at BarackObama.com: “Your place Wednesday night?” Whoa. Easy now, slugger. I expect to get these types of messages from Match.com and spammers selling fake Viagara, but not from Barack Obama.
I realize that Obama’s image has taken a hit with the recent town halls, but trying to seduce your followers with cutesy e-mails about healthcare reform might not help. I half-expected to see an emoticon wink at me in the subject line, followed by a message flaunting “Booty Call for Reform” mugs.
I’m hoping that Obama’s speech will help Americans better understand healthcare reform, including me. And yes, Jeremy, I’ll be at my place tonight. 
Um, I’m not sure that I’m ok with such forwardness from the President or his online doppleganger. Sex will not sell health care reform, it’ll just give a whole bunch more people the clap.
