The latest campaign email to supporters of President Barack Obama's reelection effort tries to capitalize on the president's coolness. "From coaching basketball to knowing how many Jonas brothers there are, Barack is a pretty cool dad," writes First Lady Michelle Obama in an email to supporters.

Michelle Obama adds, "But more importantly, Barack is a wonderful father and partner. ...

The email goes on to encourage folks to virtually sign an e-card wishing the president a happy Father's Day. After signing the card, supporters are immediately directed to a page that then asks the president's supporters to donate money to Obama's reelection campaign.

Well, Michelle...I guess you’d say so. All those extravagant girl-pal vacations you take, your Mother-Daughter vacations and outings, the exclusive school you send your kids too while the DC inner city black children can’t even have charter schools, tuition reimbursement, etc.

Yep, Michelle, he’s a pretty cool dad.....he damned well better be at something. He sucks as a President - big time. You’re both a couple of race baiting hucksters.

Barack’s own daddy was a bigamist, a womanizer, an angry anti-American Marxist, and an absent father.

Cheers, good buddy! You lying bastard.

Congressional Black Caucus spokesperson: Calling Obama cool is racist

Snip: I think that some of the language that’s used is— I’ll give you an example. There’s an ad, talking about [how] the president is too cool, [asking] is he too cool? And there’s this music that reminds me of, you know, some of the blaxploitation films from the 70s playing in the background, him with his sunglasses. And to me it was just very racially-charged. They weren’t asking if Bush was too cool….

But I just think that even cool, the term cool, could in some ways be deemed racial….

He didn’t go to his daughter’s own birthday and he doesn’t take them to church. That is a “cool father”?

Could be, but he’s pretty lousy at his job. He should stick with what he knows and be a stay at home dad and let mama get a job. Heaven Forbid!!!!

It wouldn’t surprise me if the only time they see him is when they’re all sauntering out to the helicopter off on one of his dozens of vacations.

Maybe muslims don't celebrate b'days. And . . . take them to church? Are you kidding? What would Allah say about that? You never see women in mosques, do you?

“Cool”.

The hugely overused and overrated adjective that among other things, allows Apple to grossly overcharge for their products and, due to the ignorant, emotional immaturity of too many white voters, put an unaccomplished, talentless, radical RaceMarxist in the White House.

I've had my way (and they theirs .. ) with a fairly good number of girls that had cool dads.

Cool dads produce interesting ...... daughters.

Times may have changed, fads, clothes, language, etc., but cool dads with daughters still give the male world some wonderful memories.

Just sayin'

How nice. In a few months, we will give him more free time to spend with his family.

>>He didn’t go to his daughter’s own birthday and he doesn’t take them to church

Maybe muslims don't celebrate b'days

Mmmmm. could BE...

what importance does birthdays have in Islam?And how do we celebrate?

Q: As Salaam Alai Kum, Respected Mufti Saheb, I heard that Islam does not permit us to celebrate birthdays.So one of my cousin doesn't celebrate his birthday or his wife's birthday or his only two year old daughter's birthday and when I wish him on the respective days,he tells me that Islam do not want us to celebrate birthdays and he gives me a lecture about it and tells me that it is a westernized culture or a worldly thing.But when I told one my friend about it she told me that,wishing is not prohibited in Islam neither does Islam say not to wish anyone on their happy day(birthday,wedding anniversary),she said there is nothing wrong in wishing and no where in Islam it says not to wish people.I have a question that is it in Islam to celebrate birthdays and if not can we just wish atleast.I am confused and want to know what does Islam according to Quran and Hadith say about birthdays.Can you please provide me with any authentic support if there is any from Quran or Hadith.May Allah reward you for this,Jazakhalla khairun.Wasalaam Alai Kum.

Answer 6025:

CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS

It is not necessary that everything the West does is according to logic. The biggest proof that it is the invention of the west are the song words without which this function is not complete viz. 'Happy birthday to you.' No one says, 'Happy birthday celebration' or 'Happy Blessed birthday' or any other words of this kind. This disease of celebrating birthdays was never prevalent among Muslims before, but since Muslims started living alongside the non-Muslims, they have been influenced by them.

Birthdays are celebrated usually at the end of a year and not at the beginning of the year. For example, if one's birth date is on the 1st of January, then the birthday will be celebrated on the 1st of January and not the 2nd of January. Now just ponder, what intelligence is there in celebrating and showing happiness when a year has decreased in one's life.

During a birthday celebration, candles are lit on a cake, amounting to the years of the one's life. He extinguishes these candles by blowing them out and all present clap their hands. Hands are clapped at two occasions only, one at the time of joy for some achievement of his. Secondly, when someone acts foolishly, then to mock at him. Here a person is extinguishing the rays of the years of his life by blowing them out himself. Then this is no happiness, nor is it any achievement. So the clapping of hands is only for mocking at this person's stupidity. Ponder that this is a custom and sign of non-believers. When it is someone's birthday, one year of his life has decreased, and not increased.

This world is a field to work for the hereafter. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ?#129;layhi Wasallam)'s Ummah has been sent in this world for a very great object. The example of this world is like a king who send a few people into his treasure room saying that shortly he will send them out, so at that time whatever they will be possessing will be their property. Inside the treasure room, on one side there are heaps of gold and silver, on another side are lying pearls and jewels, then at another place in the room, delicious food and soft beds are arranged. Now some people think that the king may send them out any minute. They quickly gather the gold, silver, pearls and gems. They feel they will go out from there and organise the food and beds for themselves afterwards. There is another group of people who think that they have just arrived. They feel, 'Let us enjoy the food, then lay down to rest. After that we will take from the treasures. There is ample time.' So they eat, sleep and pass their valuable time without taking from the treasures. Suddenly the king sends everyone out. Now those who had collected the valuables can enjoy their lives eating and sleeping while those that wasted their time and did not accumulate anything will begin to regret. Every moment of this worldly life is very valuable. Here we have to earn for the long and everlasting life of the hereafter. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ?#129;layhi Wasallam) has said that after entering into Jannat, the people of Jannat will not be sorry about anything of this world, except for that moment which was spent without the remembrance of Allah. It is apparent that when reward will be granted for remembrance of Allah in this world which is an abode of actions, then one must surely feel very regretful, that if they should have spent more time in the remembrance of Allah, they could be worthy of more rewards.

Hafiz Zain Siqti asked Hafiz Jurjani the reason for swallowing dry flour to which he replied that when he compared the time of swallowing dry flour and chewing roti then, in chewing so much time is spent in which say 70 times Subhanalla can be uttered. Therefore he left eating roti for the last 40 years.

How can it be permissible to waste time by celebrating birthdays and becoming happy that a big slice of one's life is put behind. This world is a prison for the believer and a Jannat for the disbeliever. Allah has bought the life and wealth of the believers for Jannat. This life is a trust of Allah by us. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ?#129;layhi Wasallam) said, 'A person will not be able to move from his place, until he does not reply to five questions:

* How did you spend your life?
* How did you spend your youth?
* Where did you earn your wealth from?
* Where did you spend your wealth?
* How much did you act upon your knowledge?

A person who is concerned of replying to these questions, how can he show happiness upon the years of his life decreasing? Besides all this, Islam does not permit waste. This is the reason that the poor of this Ummat will enter Jannat 500 years before the wealthy, because the wealthy will be delayed by giving an account of their wealth. By spending on birthday parties, there is no benefit to Islam nor to the poor. It is stated in a Hadith the worst Walima feast is the one in which the poor and destitute are left out and the wealthy are only invited. Another object of the birthday parties is show. Islam encourages simplicity. By this attitude of show, the poor feel inferior and deprived and the rich have a superiority complex. Also, in these gatherings, music, singing, video filming and the taking of photographs and other un-Islamic and forbidden acts take place. May Allah Ta?la guide us and protect us from all these evils.
