    What do you think of Obama campaign asking supporters to ask for campaign funds in lieu of gifts?

    From official site: 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.
    What do you think?

    He's gotta do what he can. Half the people in America could give all they have and it wouldn't match Sheldon Adelson's casino money from China.

      Match? You're kidding! As of the end of May, Obama has taken in $255 million, Romney $121 million. Obama is the money grubbingest president in history, he's been way ahead in cash all along, and he still is.

    He has proven time and time again that he is such a selfish and uncaring President, I cannot believe the young and the ignorant still have not realized this about him. Everything he does is for self promotion - everything.

    How about asking for donations to pay off the national debt and get our creditors off our backs?  He and every other politician could contribute to that cause!

    It must work and it's a personal choice for his supporters.  I don't see any reason why this shouldn't happen.

    While this just shows how low of a man this President is, he has George Clooney in Switzerland holding fund raising parties like the one he had in Hollywood. Not to mention China and other countries.
