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.

Only eight more and you’ll have one year for each state.

Watch them try something sneaky like claiming all responses to this call are birthday gifts and not covered by campaign restrictions or something like that.

“Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday,”

How about a round of golf?

Why of course; however isn’t this a loophole that has been open for years?

How about, "Money's short, Times are hard. Here's your f*&^ing birthday card."

One needs scientific notation to adequately express the depth of depravity of the Obamaloon and his wife (who also has never had a real job...and yes, I know about her hospital joke of a job).

I await the upcoming civil war.

Just another way they maintain their perpetual campaign mode. We don't have a commander-in-chief, we have a candidate-in-chief.

For Dems, turning birthday wishes into campaign cash is just SOP. The ends always justify the means.

A subpoena would be nice.

A whole bunch of penny donations will cost far more to process than they will get.

Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday

How about presenting his Birth certificate, or maybe a tar and feather party.

This year she's out done herself by giving herself a gift of a trip to Spain for his birthday.

I signed in with a fake name and e-mail, then added a personal note. "Happy b-day, you dolt. Now resign!"

Think that'll make it to the "card"?
