Obama gift registry

[B2G]

Seriously? Who's bright idea was this? This looks rather...desperate.


Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?

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.

1. I think it's a great idea.

I gave both my husband and sister gifts from the barackobama/store. I often give contributions to charities as gifts. My bday is November 4th and my anniversary is Oct. 31st, both too close to the election to matter. Otherwise, I'd sign up. Hell, it'd be fun to tweak some of my Republican friends and relatives.

2. yea, such a horrible thing to have Obama gear during election year

I think it is cool. I already have two Hi-ball glasses, a progress shirt and got my daughter an Obama coffee travel mug.

If my birthday were before the election, beg, I would absolutely register!

Sometimes, the jury is just a little bit of awesome.

I don't have any "Conservative" friends, but I do have Republican friends. Pretty sure three of them (or even one) aren't going to send me messages about how "cheesy" or "desparate" this is. They already know where Romney's donations are coming from. They don't want to have that conversation with me.

6. Unique

to say the least.

7. I don't have a problem with this

But it seems you have to pretty much ensure that ALL your guests are Obama supporters. Things like this start family wars.

The RW nutcases are getting steamed about this as we speak.

Prediction: This will be HUGH in the coming week.
