More than four months until the election and the Obama campaign is getting extremely desperate. This sounds like something straight out of The Onion or an SNL skit. You just can't make this stuff up. :biglmao:

[COLOR="Blue"]OBAMA CAMPAIGN: TELL YOUR WEDDING GUESTS TO SEND US MONEY

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?[/COLOR]

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.[/COLOR][/INDENT]

[COLOR="Blue"]Obama campaign soliciting birthday, wedding gifts in fundraising ploy

(CBS News) President Obama wants to wish you a very happy birthday - and as his gift to you, he'll let you donate a portion of your gift money to his reelection campaign.

A blog post on the Obama/Biden 2012 website on Friday announced the campaign's newest fundraising ploy - the "Obama Event Registry," which asks anyone with an upcoming birthday, wedding, or anniversary to "support the President on your big day" by asking for donation money "in lieu of a gift."

"Let your friends know how important this election is to you," the post reads. "Instead of another gift card you'll forget to use, ask your friends and family for something that will go a little further: a donation for Obama for America."

Replete with a section that allows anyone interested to create actual accounts for their registry, the site reasons, "it's a gift that we can all appreciate--and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl."

^SNL skit is a good analogy. Gives one the insight to see how their minds work. They are so use to falling for their own talking points, they are now qualified to declare any absurdity a good idea.
