Obama Campaign: Tell Your Wedding Guests to Send Us Money
Breitbart ^ | 06/22/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 06/22/2012 3:01:34 PM PDT by MissesBush

Just when you thought the Obama campaign couldn’t get any more desperate, they come up with this: the Obama Event Registry, asking supporters who are getting married, having a birthday, or celebrating an anniversary to direct gift-givers to Obama’s re-election website:

Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?

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. 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.

Setting up and sharing your registry page is easy—so get started today.

Yesterday, Michelle Obama suggested that Americans give her husband money because he once shoveled snow around her car. He was apparently a husband to us all. Now, the Obama campaign is telling us that if we get remarried, we ought to send the gifts to our presidential ex. (Clearly, the Obama campaign also does not like gravy bowls. Perhaps they should try gravy boats. Those are far more popular.)

This is truly insulting. Young couples have been the folks hardest hit by the Obama economy; unemployment rate among the young is at all-time highs. Yet Obama suggests that we should send money not to those couples, but to the campaign of the man who has put them on the bread lines.

That’s one of the tackiest things I’ve ever heard.

What about the toaster ovens, the slotted spoons?? What about the PEOPLE who make those? Obama is killing jobs.

Today’s presidential schedule:

Speak to Latino Conference in Florida....and a campaign event....go home.

Yesterday’s schedule: A few meetings..day starts at 10, ends at 3.

Wednesday - NOTHING. Recovery day from G20.

Even if I liked the guy, I wouldn’t send him money. He’s lazy.

If this passed Obama’s campaign team as being an acceptable way to raise funds imagine what must get turned down as being too tacky.

Moochelle knows that those who worship him look at him as “Dear Leader”. There are women who will get giddy when they think of him as their husband. (Plus Chrissy Mathews)

And there are many who will ask that a donation be given in lieu of a gift. But happily, there are a lot of brides and birthday folks who won’t get anything, too.

My wife says all these people need to go to French Guyana and start another Jim Jones plantation.

If I got an invitation that asked me to send a donation to Obama instead of a wedding gift, I would stay home and they would get nothing.

And it’s not just for weddings, can be any kind of event.

"In lieu of flowers...."

Isn't the inheritance tax enough?

“What’s next”? I’ll tell you what’s next.

Next, Obama will have all the “spare change” street people panhandling for him on the street corners.

Next, the guy working his “Vietnam Vet out of work, prayers and money would help” sign, will be asked to fork over part of his proceeds to the Obama campaign at the end of every day before he calls his wife on his cell phone to come pick him up in their Escalade.

Next, there will be a box to check at the bottom of our electric bills and tax forms to make donations to Obama.

Next, there will be kitty cans to drop coins into by every slot machine in every Indian or Nevada casino.

Next, tapping into birth registries with Google’s help, a donation envelope addressed to Obama will be sent to every kid of appropriate age to put their Tooth Fairy money into.

Next, the Obama-Care death panels will be asking to have Obama remembered in the wills of the elderly they decide to withhold treatment from.

Next, all the checkout babes at all the grocery stores throughout the land will ask if you’d like to donate an extra dollar to Obama’s re-election.

What’s next, What’s next, What’s next . . . . (heavy breathing)

The next step will be telling church goers to put a note in the collection plate saying “I donated my current tithe to the Obama campaign in the name of this church.”

Same here but I would also make sure to tell them why. Would probably be the last time I was invited by them. Teehee

Did Valerie Jarrett’s daughter do this to her wedding guests.

I am guessing..no...

Chuck Woolery ‏@chuckwoolery Not only does the Obama administration want too many of our tax dollars, now he wants your kid's birthday money too.

I'll bet he would get a lot of money this way.

Got a event coming up?

Yup, every morning and flush it down the toilet, but will be willing to send it to that POS in the white hut if he needs human fertilizer.
