You Didn't Hit That!

The New York Post reports that Obama wedding registry fund-raising strategy not a hit with brides.

Imagine that! In the scheme, Obama "asks couples to request campaign donations from their guests in lieu of wedding gifts."

Given my previous post regarding Obama's "You didn't build that" statement, maybe Obama could educate newlywed couples with a speech on the theme of "You didn't marry that!" or "You didn't hit that!" to make them understand that the couples really owe society -- especially the Obama campaign -- for their marriages.

Here's my sample speech. Just trying to be helpful, Barack, buddy, really. Because you didn't write those speeches on your own, you know!

“If you’ve married the love of your life, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart and so handsome. There are a lot of smart people out there.  There are a lot of handsome people out there. It must be because I wooed harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardwooing people out there.
“If you got married, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great wingman somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create those unbelievable romantic dates that allowed your love to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges for you to drive on to get to those dates. If you’ve got a spouse, you didn’t bag that. Somebody else made that happen,” he said. “eHarmony.com didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the dating companies could match perfect soulmates on the Internet.”

That will be a big hit, don't you think?
