OK, this went to far. I don't know that I could think of anything more arrogant selfish and greedy than asking a young couple just getting started in life to ask their family and Friends to donate to a presidential campaign and show their support on their big day, in lieu of receiving gifts.

And, apparently I'm not alone, as the New York Times says the request was a total failure.

I didn't like Bush and the way he flaunted not giving a shit about what the American people or our elected Congress wanted, and thought he was an arrogant self absorbed prick, but in my opinion Obama's latest stunt in asking young couples to forgo things to help them get a start on their lives together was extremely arrogant and selfish!

In todays economy, which both Bush and Obama manged to FUBAR, it's hard enough for most newly married couple, asking them to give up gifts that can help make it a bit easier went way to far.

Got a special milestone or event coming up?

Instead of another gift card you’ll forget to use, ask your friends and family for something that will go a little further: a donation to Obama for America. Register your next celebration—whether it’s a birthday, bar or bat mitzvah, wedding, or anniversary—with the Obama campaign. It’s a great way to show your support for a cause that’s important to you on your big day.
