President Obama’s bizarre marriage-theme fund-raising scheme — where he asks couples to request campaign donations from their guests in lieu of wedding gifts — has been a total flop.
The desperate initiative, dubbed “the Event Registry,” is being mocked by event planners and couples — and shows how desperate the Obama campaign is to keep up with GOP contender Mitt Romney’s fund-raising.
Campaign officials launched the initiative in late June, the same month Obama raised just $71 million compared to Romney’s $100 million.
So far, “the Event Registry” has been all but ignored on social-media sites — even though Facebook, Twitter and other networks have been a strong suit for the Obama campaign.

As of July 2nd, the Obama campaign and affiliates has raised $471,400,000. The Romney campaign comes in at $264,223,126. Yet if major labor union promises are fulfilled, President Obama will be the main beneficiary of the more than $400 million labor leaders have promised to spend electing Democrats in 2012.
If only 15 percent of that money is directed towards Obama’s campaign, that pushes his above total over $530 million, giving him a 2-1 spending edge over Romney. Thus, President Obama’s lament that he cannot win if he is being “outspent” is revealed to be utterly disingenuous.

He’s running that “Romney Bain Outsourced Jobs” lying ad of his all weekend on cable. I think I even saw it during yesterday’s NASCAR race on TNT.
id be curious to find out how many people were stupid enough to contribute
Make your wedding, the most special day of your life about this South side Chicago thug masquerading as an intellectual and pretending to care.
50% of our populace is brain dead--drowned in the years of brain washing by govt. schools and media. If they had two brain cells to rub together, they would see thru the lies and blue smoke.

Professional moochers seeking the next handout. The communities of illiterates he organized will undoubtedly send him more.
Heh heh heh....
Good to see you, Sarge!
My daughter and son-in-law are going to a Kennedy wedding next month. I guarantee you the guests are not going to give their gifts to Obama.
Since that didn’t work, they’re switching to funerals.
