Obama Knocks ‘Constant Fundraising,’ Then Immediately Asks for Donations

President Obama knocked “constant fundraising” in his State of the Union address delivered tonight from Washington:

I’ve served in Congress with many of you. I know many of you well. There are a lot of good people here, on both sides of the aisle. And many of you have told me that this isn’t what you signed up for – arguing past each other on cable shows, the constant fundraising, always looking over your shoulder at how the base will react to every decision.
Imagine if we broke out of these tired old patterns. Imagine if we did something different.

Then, almost immediately after the speech ended, Obama emailed Democratic supporters to ask from money:

“I hope you’re excited about the agenda I laid out tonight for 2015,” Obama’s email read.

Now it’s time to get to work.
Let’s go — make a monthly contribution to support Democrats now:

Thanks,
