As mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's program today, POTUS would be thrilled if you shared your special day with him by registering for campaign donations in lieu of presents.
And why stop there? Barack Obama baby showers. Barack Obama lingerie showers. Barack Obama money dances. Barack Obama house warming parties. Because you don't actually need money or presents, but Barack Obama does.
Go check out the post and hilarious comments on the President's reelection campaign site. They surely won't last long.

Re: Obama Wants Your Birthday Money & Wedding Gifts
I haven't read all the comments yet, but there appear to be at least 150 mocking, derisive comments for every 1 presidential defender. If I were them, I'd disappear the comments and take the flack, but then again I am not them... It's easier to pretend that nothing happened when the comments are disappeared...

I've notified My creditors of My bankruptcy "event," so they're sending Barry all My bills.

Over on the Member Feed we have another conversation on the same subject.
I'll repeat my comment there: What's this going to do to the small appliance industry? Job losses left and right.

Re: Obama Wants Your Birthday Money & Wedding Gifts
I happen to disbelieve money "buys" votes. Sure, every campaign needs dough. So here's my idea Romney partisans: If you know a young Obamaite and owe them a birthday gift, that lefty couple always bringing up politics getting married in June, here's your chance. Give them a $25 donation, and smile! (Don't worry your $25 donation won't help this disaster of a campaign one bit)
The comments are hilarious!

If SNL doesn't mock of this, they're irredeemably in the tank, to the point where they don't see funny when it smashes their gravy bowl.
(I bet they won't mock it.)
Also, nobody's considered the tie-in to gay marriage?

If that's not a fundraising winner, I don't know what is. GOP, take note.

My word, we're living out "I, Claudius". When is one obliged to remember him on one's will?

Re: Obama Wants Your Birthday Money & Wedding Gifts
In all seriousness, ever since right-thinking people came to believe that urging others to make donations to their pet "good causes" was nobler than expecting other gifts, an outcome like this was inevitable.
You don't have to go to a leftist church to hear the pastor tell you that, since materialism is bad, and giving is better than receiving, presents should routinely be replaced with donations to good causes.
Miss Manners has warned for years about stuff like this happening.

Well, I guess I'll have to go into years of psychoanalysis to rid myself of that image.

This has really got my creative juices flowing. Cash in on deaths.
First, the dead person can, in some states, still vote for you. Second, in the obituary: "In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you contribute to the Obama for President campaign."
