Obama is raising money off the Wright controversy

Via the Washington Times, “Obama fundraising off Wright-race speech” — YOU can donate anywhere from $30 to the maximum $2,300 to get this “piece of history”:
Sen. Barack Obama’s latest fundraising drive – own a “piece of history.”
And by history, the campaign means a DVD copy of his speech on race.
It’s an interesting tactic, since the speech was given to respond to the political fury that erupted over his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. …
The appeal letter says:
The April fundraising deadline is this Wednesday.
Many will judge us by the money we raise, but we know our strength comes from a different number.
To celebrate the 1,500,000 grassroots donors who are funding this movement, we’ve created a special gift.
Make a donation of $30 or more before midnight on Wednesday, April 30th, and receive a DVD and limited edition print of Barack’s “A More Perfect Union” speech on race in America.
Read all of “Obama fundraising off Wright-race speech,” which includes more on David Axelrod’s complaints — actually, his whining (like his candidate) — about the wall-to-wall media coverage of Rev. Wright’s big media tour.
