Default Obama Running LOTTERY on His Website, lol

Ok, here it is, make a donation and somehow 4 individuals will be selected from all the doners to have a private dinner with him.

Is this not gambling on the doners part and RUNNING a gaming opp on his part?

Here is the link:

https://donate.barackobama.com/page/...ce=20070607_ND

This is the second candidate to run a gaming opp.
McCain did it during the NCAA with a contest that who ever picked the most right or beat him received a hat.....

Talk about calling the kettle black, um, no pun intended, lol.

Anyway, lets E-MAIL OBAMA and thank him for appreciating gaming and ask support in our efforts.

Contact Obama:
http://action.barackobama.com/page/s/contact

Brouse arond while there, I have a gambling blog on his site as well, OLDBOOKGUY

Perhaps MANY of us will join (you can fake it support as I did) and start MANY gambling support blogs there!

You know, I've always wondered how Pepsi and Coke can have prizes underneath their bottle caps. I'm addicted to those, wanting to win a [censored] mountain bike. i can't stop buying pepsi just HOPING that when i enter that online code, it'll say "YOU WIN!"

you want big scams? How about those text message contests that EVERY major TV show has now.

Text the word JACK to 2424 for your chance to win $10,000!

note, the text message costs $1 each to send.

It's not a lottery cause you enter for free on the web.

These are a HUGE moneymaker. I used to work at a company that handled a large amount of these messages.

My Dinner Lottery Blog Post Response on Barackobama.com :

Dinnner Donation
By xxxxx xxxxxx - Jun 7th, 2007 at 3:34 pm EDT


Thank you for the wonderful chance to participate in your dinner lottery.

However, since I cannot calculate the odds of winning I will have to pass for now.

You have to understand my position, I am a poker player, not a 'REAL' gambler, I need to know odds, outs and have a chance to win even if I am not favored (as would be the case in a lottery, never favored).

If however you would like to join me in a friendly game online sometime, I would be more than happy to play you, perhaps you can earn that donation from me?

Please tell me where it says the winners will be chosen by LOTTERY. It is more likely they will be chosen based on an interesting story/demographic. Please check your facts before making accusatory posts. Kthanx
