"President Obama is launching an events registry that will allow a birthday boy or a bride-to-be to encourage their friends to give to the campaign--instead of a gift," Politico reports:So just for fun today, I checked out the donation portion of the Obama campaign's website, and low and behold, there it was:
"Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?" the campaign wrote in a blog post. "Let your friends know how important this election is to you--register with Obama 2012, and ask for a donation in lieu of a gift."Yes, it's for real. We're proud to say we got into the swing of things. The other day a friend's uncle died, so we bought him a card--"I'm so sorry for your loss," it said--and sent it to the Obama campaign instead.
"It's a great way to support the President on your big day. Plus, it's a gift that we can all appreciate--and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl," the campaign wrote.
In some respects, it's only right. The dead have often voted for the Democrats in various parts of the country. It's about time they started paying their fair share.
I'm brain dead but I still can't bring myself to vote for Romney.
ReplyDeleteI thought O was unbelieveably tacky when one of his first acts in office was to send the bust of Churchill back to England. So what can one expect...? Hadley, have you never heard of "the lesser of two evils"?
