Twice in a row

WOW two days in a row you all get the bonus blog here. Today’s bonus is one that I gotta say really floored me when I heard about it.. Apparently the Obama campaign has decided that they need to raise funds a whole new way so welcome to the new option. “What is that?” You ask. Well it seems he has decided that his campaign is more important than your birthday or wedding or bar mitzvah or… That’s right! You too can go to this site, http://www.barackobama.com/obama-event-registry/ Where Obama will be more than happy to let you know how you can ask people to donate to his campaign in lieu of a present for that special event that you may be anticipating. Personally I am surprised that he made it voluntary. The way that he has been working I would have expected it to be compulsory. Yup that is right folks, Obama has decided that HE is more important than YOU are. Now maybe for some people that WOULD be a perfect wedding gift (or birthday). But still that is up to you, fortunately it is still up to us what we choose to invest our money in. I for one would tend to think that this is a pretty crass way to do things. I mean really, what’s next? Lemonade stands or yard sales? Maybe a bake sale? If we are going to be honest here, this only serves to belittle the presidency and all the other public service positions that are linked to it. Worse this is going to belittle the country. We are going to be a laughingstock because of this. But still you support your guy. I will support mine.
