Go figure.
Barack Obama’s Event Registry is so bizarre and controversial that it already has a Snopes entry.
Via Instapundit:
From Snopes:
Origins: On 22 June 2012 a notice was posted to the blog at BarackObama.com notifying readers of the Obama Event Registry, a mechanism allowing users with upcoming special events (such as birthdays, anniversaries and weddings) to register and express their preference for friends to send donations to the Obama re-election campaign in lieu of presents:
We don’t know who within the Obama campaign or administration might have conceived or approved the idea of the registry, but it appears to be real, as the announcement of it was posted to the official Obama campaign web site, and the registration mechanism allowing users to solicit campaign contributions does function.
Even Snopes thinks its bizarre.

Obama and his campaign are bizarre.
What I want to know is how many idiots did this?
I have family members who would.
mg4us commented:
Is Obama and company THAT desperate that they need to stoop this low for campaign contributions. .
Not like 2008. . . No one wants to back a loser!
And if people do participate in this, what a sick puppy they would be. . .
How about donations for a one way ticket to kenya. .
Observer commented:
Ovomit & his wookie like all tyrants spinn ever more bizarre cult of personality around themselves.

My nephew lost a tooth. I slipped a $5 bill under his pillow but David Axelrod got to it before he did.
JB commented:
Who needs to read textbooks on pathological narcissism? Simply observe the Obama campaign in action every day.
Valerie commented:
I hope somebody took lots of screen shots. Otherwise, people are going to accuse the right-wingers of making this up.

It’s GREED. His campaign fund is 10 times that of Romney’s. Like his wife who never misses an opportunity for an Antoinette tour on the taxpayers’ dime. He uses his last chance to gull the gullibles. He’ll keep the “donations” whatever happens. That is Chicago style. Mayor Daley keeps his multi-millions campaign funds when he retires.

Oh, isn’t it Cute? What a cute couple. What a cute idea. America is going to hell in a handbasket, and President Kardashian knows we all just think his Amature Stunts are so adorable. What’s next, little bell ringers in front of WalMart? Trick-or-treaters for Obama? Does he have any idea that the world is laughing at him?

Reminds me of my sister-in-law giving my husband a goat for Christmas one year. Actually, she gave an Afghani farmer a goat and my husband got a certificate for it. Strange Xmas present that one. I think hubby was supposed to bask in the glow of doing a good deed, but all he said to her was, “where’s my goat?”
He gave her a block of Toblerone in response.

Yes your fellow countrymen are really this tacky in their money grubbing…So discomforting that these are your neighbors….the greedy mind set of people living off the public …That there was no one home to advise against this …that your leaders would even need to be advised against something so raffish. ……This is what they mean by ” skin in the game ” …going to the morgue like Edi Amin to strip the gold rings off corpses and take a bite of flesh…..> http://youtu.be/qCGwqR3SU1o

It all reeks of desperation…

What’s next…..lemonade stands, car washes, spaghetti dinners?
Multitude commented:
The term is “Droit du Seigneur” – where the feudal lord commanded and demanded payment of a portion of the bride’s dowry, or else the right of the first night with the young virginal bride-to-be.
What Obama has imposed is a contemporary construction of this same feudal law, but in typical postmodern form, presents it not as a command but a guilt-driven obligation. “I wouldn’t require you to give your dowry to me, the Lord of the Progressive Castle, but I would be quite saddened if you did not want to do so. If you cared, you would want to do this without me even asking or commanding.”
It’s a remarkable step further from the paternalistic tyranny of the feudal elites; there, you were required to comply but inside yourself, you had a place where you could resist in spirit. Under Barack Obama’s Progressive Fascism, you are not permitted to even resist inside: you are required to voluntarily accept the feudal command to serfdom and exploitation, and you are demanded to actually like it.

All I could see when I heard this was little children crying and saying “why Mommy and Daddy why?” poor things, no gift on their birthday. And then the older children, “are you kidding me?” no graduation gift. And nana and papa, their 60th wedding anniversary, “What the hell?” no anniversary gift?
Socialism has gone a step above this time. I can only imagine this had to be a Sarah Jessica Parker idea. They are so filthy rich, their kids won’t miss one of the many gifts the reason.
This is some Ultra fanatical Idea that the Elitists have dreamed up. And Obama has actually put his stamp of approval on.
Obama has embarrassed and disgrace the office of the presidency. He has no regard for the importance of his job.
I call this a money grubber. He is desperate to make money for his election initiative.

This is your President, Barky 0bama. My Limousine Liberal donors are tapped out and my campaign costs exceed my donations. In fact, I lost $5,000,000 on boozing, dining and entertaining my $40,000 per plate Ultra-rich donors last month.
Sure my donors are mostly fat cats. Although, they are billionaires like George Soros they are jumping off the sinking 0bama ship. My donors blow!
David Axelrod has a new scam. Please read the items below carefully!
If your daughter is having a wedding before November 6th, please divert all of the money for the wedding and wedding gifts and give them to me! Don’t think of anybody be Barky 0bama. It’s that simple!
In fact, ask your daughter to ask her groom and their family for all of the money that is going into their wedding to be donated to my campaign. See my gluttonous web-site for details.
If you have a son or daughter with a birthday coming between to now and November 6th please don’t give them a dime. Divert all of your gifts to my campaign.
Please encourage you son or daughter who is having the birthday to ask all people who they think may give them a gift to donate the money to my campaign. See my greed riddled campaign web-site for details.
If you or any of your family has an anniversary that is between now and November 6th please forgo the gifts and send the money to my campaign. My campaign sucks and is going broke. See my self-indulgent web-site for details.
My limousine is running and I have another $40,000 per plate fund raiser to attend. David Axelrod has a new scam. I hope this one works because the last one did not. Also, email Snopes dot com and ask them to donate to my campaign. I need a lot more money. I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.
Patty commented:
Obama has spent more money on his campaign then he has taken in. So, now the real idiot advisers are coming in desperation. Spreading the Wealth? People are struggling so the only ones who will donate are the psychotic celebrities.
