Obama’s new pitch: $4,800 ‘grub’ dinner

It’s one thing to blue-collar up his image by drinking Bud Lites at campaign stops, but now President Obama is down-scaling the image of his regular folk fundraising dinners so much that he’s calling the food ‘grub.’

And expensive grub it is: The campaign said that the value of passing through Obama’s chow line is valued at $4,800.

Here’s how Obama’s last dinner offer opens: “You, President Obama, a table, chairs, and some grub. Want to give it a shot?”

Then they add: “Pretty awesome.”

Here’s the deal:

Friend —

You, President Obama, a table, chairs, and some grub.

Want to give it a shot?

Donate $5 or whatever you can, and you’ll be automatically entered for the chance to join the President for dinner: https://donate.barackobama.com/Dinner

It’ll be pretty awesome — we’ll even fly you (and a friend) out for the big night.

Thanks,

Obama for America

P.S. — This is the last Dinner with Barack of the campaign. You’ve stood with the President when it counted. Don’t you want to sit down for a meal with him? Don’t miss out.
