The comments are hilarious. Richard Henkle • an hour ago Is this what the office of the President of the United States has come to? Pandering for wedding and birthday money? Show 1 new reply 76 5 • Reply•Share › Scott Hyland • 23 minutes ago • parent This one, yes. Imagine the field day the "media" would have were this GWB. N.Y. Times would be running above-the-fold, front-page stories about "hubris." 10 • Reply•Share › Dan Ichny • 20 minutes ago • parent Why not? He's already tried to pander for cash via 20+ "sweepstakes": forum.darwincentral.org This is just more of the same tackiness. 2 • Reply•Share › MARWBI • 40 minutes ago • parent trolling trolling trolling 4 34 • Reply•Share › Kevin Alderman • an hour ago I'll be sure to send whatever is left over after I pay off my $138,000 Nat'l Debt Per Taxpayer. 47 1 • Reply•Share › TheLeftFails • an hour ago This is THE WORST GIFT you could EVER get someone 46 1 • Reply•Share › Jim • an hour ago This is something you would expect to see in North Korea from Dear Leader, not in the USA.... 39 2 • Reply•Share › Duude • an hour ago So when is he going to ask people to will over their estates to his campaign or was that last week? 56 2 • Reply•Share › Big_Bear • 9 minutes ago • parent No, he just wants to tax them out of existence. 0 • Reply•Share › Steven Smith • an hour ago What a freaking joke... In lieu of birthday, graduation, wedding gifts, etc., make a donation to Barack Obama's campaign in my name? This is the most absurd thing to come out of his mind to date. What a bunch of ignorant arrogant douch-bags. Sorry to offend real douch-bags but this idiocracy has got to stop. 36 3 • Reply•Share › Acad Ronin • 41 minutes ago How about if I change my will, leaving everything to the Obama campaign and then shoot myself. Would that work for Dear Leader? 29 3 • Reply•Share › Crane Milk Willy • 35 minutes ago • parent Pretty soon he will use an executive order to mandate it... 19 2 • Reply•Share › Scott Hyland • 17 minutes ago • parent Also, buy a $500K term life insurance policy, name Obama as beneficiary, send a copy to Kathleen Sebilius, and then see how good your medical treatment will be once Obamacare goes full bore. 2 1 • Reply•Share › Peter Mullen • 41 minutes ago What a pathetic example of pandering by our pathetic POTUS. Shame on Obama 24 4 • Reply•Share › Margaret Grimm Blackwell • 43 minutes ago Who is his campaign manager? Mel Brooks? This is better than the Producers. 21 2 • Reply•Share › bserius • 32 minutes ago HEY LIBS,,,,,, Did Valery Jarrett make her daughter give up all the gifts at her wedding last week ? 19 2 • Reply•Share › Scott Hyland • 25 minutes ago • parent VERY good question!!!!!! 3 1 • Reply•Share › bserius • 36 minutes ago So ,,, Wonder what Michelle Antoinette would say if people would forego the gifts when Malia gets married ? 16 2 • Reply•Share › Bee Wuu • 40 minutes ago Wow! This is too funny. Another bad ending. 16 2 • Reply•Share › taco princess • 42 minutes ago What's next?....should we ask friends and family to send donations to Obama in lieu of bereavement gifts? This is an embarrassment. 16 3 • Reply•Share › naturesid • 38 minutes ago Desperate, classless AND tasteless. Grats on the three-fer. 13 1 • Reply•Share › Jason H. Kendall • 37 minutes ago this is very wrong... Obama should be notified of this and if he supports it- he has lost my support.... Whoever came up with this idea and approved it should be fired.... 2 other users are typing… 13 3 • Reply•Share › evilcon • 20 minutes ago I asked everyone to get me a steaming pile of excrement for my birthday. I'll be sure to ask them to send it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Maybe they can use it to fertilize the garden there. 10 1 • Reply•Share › gekkobear • 31 minutes ago Yeah, what a lovely sentiment... why would anyone question it. How about my birthday and Christmas presents as well; nobody except for Obama need any gifts, right? Screw your happy day; we need money, give us yours. What a lovely caring compassionate sentiment; how great to know Obama cares enough to take from you on your joyous occasion. 11 2 • Reply•Share › j l • 35 minutes ago wow....not sure my young son will be too happy about giving up his birthday presents for BO to spend it all on celeb parties. Reminds me of the scene from the Grinch where he's shoving the christmas tree up the chimney. 11 2 • Reply•Share › Frank Brown • 43 minutes ago Please take this embarrasment down as soon as posible...please...from someone who used to be proud he grew up with a Democrat mother and Republican father...now I am ashamed my family was ever associated with the Democrats. 11 3 • Reply•Share › Big_Bear • 6 minutes ago • parent My mother has voted Democrat since 1960. This year she won't. 0 • Reply•Share › Chris Grosso • 32 minutes ago This is pathetic 8 2 • Reply•Share › Crane Milk Willy • 34 minutes ago And if you don't willingly hand over your birthday gifts, Obama will use an executive order to force you to hand them over. 9 2 • Reply•Share › Beth James Smith • 41 minutes ago Now that he has spent so much tax money, I guess he is getting desperate. What will tell Mooshelle when she wants to travel on our dime? No more dimes? But wait, the brides of America can anty up!!! Anything for O and his bride. Sick puppy, that O. 8 2 • Reply•Share › ta111 • 14 minutes ago I honestly thought this was a complete joke. I now find this guy is actually wants other people's gift money? I can't believe it. What's next your kids piggy-bank money? 6 1 • Reply•Share › Kendra Sigurdson • 20 minutes ago what a joke 5 • Reply•Share › jnsesq • 34 minutes ago Unmitigated, selfish, narcissistic gall! 7 2 • Reply•Share › Central Scrutinizer • 15 minutes ago “As long as I have the privilege of being your President, I will be alongside you fighting for the country that we, together, dream of.” Let's all HOPE that that privilege ends in November, and we can collectively CHANGE the current resident of 1600 Penn. Ave. 5 1 • Reply•Share › billsbowl • 35 minutes ago Not on your life. 6 2 • Reply•Share › Debby Williams • 42 minutes ago POTUS: Romney vows to veto the Dream Act if he's president. "And we should take him at his word" 6 2 • Reply•Share › gekkobear • 24 minutes ago • parent What DREAM Act? Where was that law passed? Oh, you mean when the President unilaterally decided he could control laws and run the government himself with unlimited power? “There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.” – President Obama, May 2011. I guess between May 2011 and now we redefined the appropriate role of President? Or is there some other reason a year ago Obama said the same thing Romney is saying now? I guess if a President is down in the polls that laws, rules, and the Constitution don't matter and he has dictatorial powers? I don't remember that section of the Constitution. 10 2 • Reply•Share › Alex Birch • 24 minutes ago • parent You take Obama on his word for anything after his terrible Presidency? You have got to be kidding me right? I feel bad you are that unintelligent. 4 2 • Reply•Share › jnsesq • 31 minutes ago • parent Works for me. 0 1 • Reply•Share › righthook38 • 23 minutes ago Oh....this is embarrassing... 4 1 • Reply•Share › Liberalitis • 27 minutes ago How is this scam working out for you? Please post the names and amounts that people give through this scheme. It should be worth quite a larf. 4 1 • Reply•Share › Steven Pettijohn • 33 minutes ago Exactly so, Jim. This is exactly what you'd expect to see in North Korea. Incredible. 5 2 • Reply•Share › Edward Roberts • 10 minutes ago In the obituaries, would "in lieu of flowers donations to the O/B campaign" be appropriate? BTW Executive Privilege foes NOT cover being classless. 1 • Reply•Share › Justin G. • 11 minutes ago Let your friends know why they shouldn't attend your event, register with Obama 2012! 1 • Reply•Share › Tom Sita • 13 minutes ago Thanks for giving me the push I needed to donate to the Romney campaign! Fool!! 1 • Reply•Share › Charles Morgan • 15 minutes ago This is a joke, right? 2 1 • Reply•Share › Michael Daneau • 16 minutes ago - LONG LIVE THE KING! 2 1 • Reply•Share › bserius • 17 minutes ago WHAT WOULD BE GREAT is if we all went to funeral homes with OBAMA REGISTER FORMS and asked the mourners to sign up then and there 2 1 • Reply•Share › Debbie Woodard • 14 minutes ago • parent Yeah, and might as well sign someone up to vote as the deceased while your at it. Obama would certainly approve of these and any tactics to keep him as our king. 1 • Reply•Share › Michael Daneau • 14 minutes ago • parent Maybe we could give some to the dead I hear they vote now 1 • Reply•Share › Load more com
