Obama campaign rolls out “square mobile fundraising platform”

Obama campaign rolls out “square mobile fundraising platform.” Just Politico’s Orwellian way of saying every campaign worker is going to have a credit card reader. They’ll be ready whenever the spirit moves someone to join the borg. Or in case a bunch of credit cards fall off of one of Warren Buffett’s trucks or something.

  • Next they will be "rolling out" a long round very hard stick often used in baseball to coax more donations out of the truly faithful. Of course that would be followed by a hard metallic object with a hand grip that fits right in the palm of your hand and discharges metal cylindrical objects at those that do not give the maximum amount. Of course in either case the operators have to be wearing the appropriate attire that reflects liberalism at its finest. The attire includes a ski mask and gloves, pants falling down to your knees as you run away is optional..

  • This reeks of a Nigerian 419 Scam. What do you thing is going to happen when the DNC gets a hold of someone's credit card number?

  • This makes a perverse sort of sense; Obama has been running the nation on borrowed money so there's no reason why his supporters shoudn't borrow money to contribute to his campaign. We all know it's never going to be repaid.
