Wow. I guess the negative feedback from the last time Barak Obama's people pulled the guilt routine didn't work, so they are using that trick again.
When the reminder/guilt trip was used last, however, no one was aware of the drastic reduction to our privacy rights.
So read this message within the context of Snowden's revelations:
I don't want to make this awkward, but...
It looks like you haven't signed OFA's birthday card for President Obama yet.
This handy messaging lets me know two things at once: that my non-participation is being logged, and that their reminder to me could expect to give rise to feelings of uncomfortability. That they would expect feelings of uncomfortability to arise in me.
Given that the government, and private groups, are able to track our online actions, this hint of theirs seems to be kind of a threat.
And even if that interpretation is just my mood, it certainly is annoying.

Christine --
I don't want to make this awkward, but...
It looks like you haven't signed OFA's birthday card for President Obama yet.
Today's the big day -- I think the card would be so much better with your name on it, Christine.
Before we seal the giant envelope, sign your name to OFA's birthday card for the President:
