I don’t know what has gotten into Bill & Hillary Clinton but yesterday I had an e-mail from her saying ‘Let’s Do Lunch’ and today I have one from him saying ‘Mind if I drop in?’. In the opening line Bill’s message says “I hear you might be having lunch with Hillary — do you mind if I drop in? “.

I am a cynical person and so I see that and want to run away from those e-mails as fast as possible, but maybe they work. Anyone have thoughts? If you have an e-mail from a former president pretending like he is going to have lunch with you and every three or four paragraphs it says CLICK HERE TO CONTRIBUTE, would that make your heart melt?

I think I would rather have something in my inbox that would make me want to contribute to them and had immediacy to it. Like “Social Security Won’t Be in Danger with President Hillary Clinton”. She gave a speech most people probably did not hear the other day where she said she would pay full benefits and not raise the age-limit for SS. It would be a good way of tying her message, a topical and voter driven issue and an action “if you want to elect someone who will secure full benefits for you and your family, contribute” all in one.

From Bill’s all I know is Clinton is smart and wonderful and if I make a contribution I might win a chance to have a lunch with them. I don’t even get dinner! Just lunch and probably with eighteen staffers in the room. I might be willing to spend a dollar on a lottery ticket to win $10,000,000 even though I know the odds. Tossing in $50 for no real odds of winning a fruit salad and sandwich lunch with the Clinton’s, probably not.

If I can raise $2,300 I can just go pay to have dinner with them and Warren Buffet and a bunch of other cool rich people and it isn’t a content.

Again I am sorry, I am cynical, this might be the greatest idea ever. For me though, not so much.
