It's the thought that counts and this might be the most thoughtless Mother's Day gift ever. Even if your name is Cinderella.
From President Barack Obama's reelection campaign site:
Whether or not your mom's on Twitter, here's something guaranteed to make her smile on Sunday: getting a personal shout-out from President Obama.From now until Thursday at midnight, you have a chance to win that for your mom or a special mother in your life—just get five or more donations to your grassroots fundraising page to automatically put yourself in the running. ...
That's right: If your name is drawn, the President will send your mom a special Mother's Day tweet from @BarackObama. With more than 15 million people following him on Twitter, she'll be honored in front of a pretty wide audience.
A "shout-out"? On Twitter?! Gag.
Your mom would probably prefer one of those terrible porcelain Precious Moments dolls.
