New Low in Political Discourse: The Obama Event Registry Bests George Costanza’s “Human Fund” in Awfulness

Not content with raising hundreds of milions of dollars from his
super-wealthy friends, President Barack Obama is now stealing from
the pockets of birthday boys and girls, newlyweds, folks
celebrating anniversaries, recent graduates, and (we assume) anyone
else with something to celebrate.

Ladies and gentleman, you avatar for hope and (loose) change is
now hitting you up thusly:

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
