Have you seen this?

Apparently Obama has made it so you can "register" for him and help support his campaign.  I'm sorry but this is complete bullshite.  Regardless of whether I did or did not like him before I certainly think he's an asshat now. 

This also might be a mini P&R but I was just curious as to if you had seen this or what your thoughts are.

    I think this is a horrible idea, but I hardly think that Obama himself was the one to come up with it.  It's a possibility that he doesn't even know about it.  

    That being said, I can't believe that people must have said, "Oh, that's a great idea" when it was brought up.  One idea that shouldn't have seen the light of day.

    I highly doubt he doesn't know about it. 

    Has it really been discussed?  FFS.  I hate being on mobile during the day and missing everything.  This is the first time in a week I've been on the actual site and not mobile.

    If someone asked me to donate to Obama I would set their wedding dress on fire.

    I think this might be more rude than a HM registry.

    [QUOTE]I hadn't seen this before.  I think this is a terrible idea. I think this goes further than asking for donations to charities in lieu of wedding gifts. I would be more annoyed at a couple asking for donations for a politician or political party than to save the whales. It just comes across as very gauche.

    Yeah, but what if they were really cunty whales?

    I'm thinking of turning mine in too. Honestly I don't even know why I was or am one. I hate to admit it but I think I used to swear I was a dem just because my parents were ultra conservative. Its a really dumb reasoning but that's what happens when you are 18 and registering to vote I guess.

    Would people really stop identifying as democrat because Obama has a registry?

    Omg that's disgusting! If I saw that on a registry I would disown that person completely. Good job making yourself look even more like a jackass Obama.
    He stole my heart... So I'm stealing his last name.
