It seems like a nice gesture – an e-mail message from a loving wife, urging thousands of people to join her in wishing her husband a happy 49th birthday by signing an electronic birthday card.
But in Washington, D.C., nothing is that simple.
The wife, in this case, is First lLdy Michelle Obama, and the message is being sent by the Democratic Party to people on its list nationwide. And underlying the birthday wishes, the message is political: The electronic card to Barack Obama also is a Democratic Party fundraiser.
“Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday,” the message from Michelle Obama says. “And this August 4th, when he turns 49, I have something new in mind.”
Her message, which went out Tuesday, is being sent out by Democrats.org, the online presence of the Democratic National Committee.

What could the man possibly need? He’s got a good job, loving wife and family, active church life, the adoration of millions, Air Force One, the nuclear football, apparently unlimited executive powers, golf three times a week, four vacations a month, a fawning media, his own Secret Service detail, a girlfriend and a boyfriend.
Really, what can you get him that will be ‘unique’?
These people put the “Ack!!” in Tacky.
I’ll just wave. But I don’t think I’ll use all my fingers.
I figured it out. I'll send him a set of great British films on European format DVDs.
not only do they have to ASK for birthday wishes for this guy but they want to use it as a fund raiser? Pitiful...absolutely pitiful and classless!

If she really cared about O’s birthday, she would stay home and celebrate it instead of jetting off to Spain.
So this year they left the country without him?!!!

Dolt? You’re being way too nice here.
That's a gift not only for the President but the whole staff of the White house.

Here is just one quote for you...
But when his daughter was born, complaining of his narrow means, and no longer merely of the burdens of a ruler but of those of a father as well, he took up contributions for the girl's maintenance and dowry. He also made proclamation that he would receive New Year's gifts, and on the Kalends of January took his place in the entrance to the Palace, to clutch the coins which a throng of people of all classes showered on him by handfuls and lapfuls. Finally, seized with a mania for feeling the touch of money, he would often pour out huge piles of goldpieces in some open place, walk over them barefooted, and wallow in them for a long time with his whole body.
And there will be no lack of those who will send money to mac daddy.
The only drawback is that the dead voters who’s votes were counted will not be able to respond with any cash, sorry mac daddy.
Happy Birthday Barry!You're Still Number One!
How about a digital noose?
Happy Birthday Mongrel in Chief.
