You know what sucks? My parents' 50th wedding anniversary is coming up

[Maddy McCall]

and I want to get them a card from the president. That means that it will be from Bush.

Shit! How I wish Kerry or Clark or someone wonderful were president right now.

1. Would they be happy with it?

That seems to be the crux of the matter.

As an alternative, do you have a Dem governor? Perhaps they would do the same?

[Maddy McCall]

8. Yeah, they will be happy with the gesture.

Our governor is Haley Barbour. He's worse than Bush, IMO.

2. My parents would be offended.

Are there any Democratic politicians they admire who might do that for you?

[Maddy McCall]

9. They loved Wes.

Wonder if he'd sign a card for them. :shrug:

3. My parents' 49th is coming up

next weekend. If I got them something from the president they would disown me or have me committed.

4. Get one from Clinton.

I bet you can.

[Maddy McCall]

11. Excellent suggestion.

I'll check into it. Thanks!

[Rowdyboy]

5. I echo Trof's sentiment.....If you write Bill Clinton and explain. and he

doesn't send a card-I will be amazed and disappointed. It's worth taking a chance.

7. I agree

in my post below I said how the Whitehouse went to trouble to get a card out to my parents in a short time, that's the kind of guy Clinton is. :thumbsup:

[Maddy McCall]

12. I'm going to take trof's suggestion.

Thanks!

6. I was lucky cause Bill Clinton was President

when my parents had their 50th my father was so thrilled when he got the card that he actually cried. Also the Whitehouse was really terrific about the whole thing cause you are supposed to request it like weeks ahead of time (we didn't know that). My brother called a few days before and talked to someone and told them how much it would mean to my parents to get a card from President Clinton and they said they would try to get it there in time. It came the day before...we were all THRILLED! :bounce:

[Maddy McCall]

14. Awesome!

I'm going to try to get a card sent from him. :)

10. If I got my parents an anniversary card from Chimpy McCokespoon

they'd probably look at me and say "What the HELL is this SHIT? Is this some kind of JOKE?"

Good luck!

[Maddy McCall]

13. LOL!

15. We had to do the same thing for DH's parents

Mom has Alzheimers so I don't think it really registered with her. And even though Dad didn't vote for GB, he was proud to get the congratulations from the whitehouse.
