Obama’s cynical exploitation of Christmas
By Ken Falkenstein | Sunday, December 25th, 2011 | PoliticsCould you ever have imagined a political campaign so arrogant and cynical that it would seek to trick people into supplying their e-mail addresses for campaign use by inviting us to send the candidate well wishes for the holidays? Well, check out the Obama-Biden campaign ad that is now appearing on Facebook:
And here’s what you get if you click on the ad:
Note that Obama doesn’t wish us a Merry Christmas. (In fact, he doesn’t actually use the word “Christmas” at all, but he invokes it by showing Christmas trees at the White House, which I thought was illegal in a campaign solicitation.) The treat Obama offers is the opportunity to offer him holiday wishes, and in exchange for this honor, you get to be on his campaign e-mail list forever after. Happy Holidays everyone!

I thought Bill Clinton was the ultimate narcissist, but this guy takes the cake.
How about this, “Merry Christmas, Mr. President!”
He can find my well wishes here. At BearingDrift.com.
J.R.,
I couldn’t find the direct link to send my Christmas wishes to President Obama (all of them led right back here) so I will just then add my Christmas wishes to him right here.
Merry Christmas Mr President. I hope you had a better Christmas then I did, my own was pretty awful.
Sorry about that, LittleDavid!
What went wrong?
My gosh, the guy is right! I got right back here too with a message:
“Please contribute $7 for our 7th”
