Don't celebrate Obama's birthday By: Keith Koffler August 4, 2010 10:08 AM EDT
Today is President Barack Obamas 49th birthday, which the president seems to think is an unhappy day. He has taken to lamenting his fading youth and graying hair, showing all the signs of a midlife crisis minus the red Corvette. But unfortunately for the rest of us, his supporters are busy making Aug. 4 a sad day for the country by trying to turn the occasion into a kind of national celebration.
In an effort to drum up enthusiasm and increase membership the political operatives who run Organizing for America, an activist group devoted to the president, are set to stage hundreds of birthday parties around the country, giving Obamas day of birth the feel of a holiday.
OFA members are being urged to bake birthday cakes, photograph them and send the image to OFAs website for its blog. A letter from first lady Michelle Obama, posted on the Democratic National Committee website, directs people to the OFA site, where they can sign a birthday card for the president.
We dont, as a country, generally celebrate our politicians birthdays. Except for those chosen few like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln.
Other nations, founded on nationalism, religion or rigid ideologies, reaffirm their existence by glorifying rulers they believe embody these notions. They have constructed palaces to celebrate them during their lifetimes and embalm them in mausoleums to maintain their presence after death

Too late. I already flushed.
Let us all celebrate his birthday the same way as his immediate family- by partying elsewhere- without him
Maybe the dog will be with him
Not to worry, I had no intnetion of even thinking about it.
How can we? We don't even know when it is. :-)

Seriously, how do we know that this is the Tyrant Alinsky Kenyan’s actual birthdate?
What a little narcissistic child.
Will Obama EVER GROW UP?

Yes, our narcissistic little boy wants to believe he is better than the rest and uses this group as his loyal subjects.
How embarrassing!
Did you all know that he had invited a TON of AFRICAN LEADERS to the White House Yesterday??? There was a Picture in the Chicago Sun Times today.....I didn’t hear one word about it.
I’m celebrating my husband’s birthday today and rejoicing that it is the same day as ——————our wonderful United States Coast Guard!
Glad to know you are regular, do you use pro-biotic yogurt?
I celebrated too, then wiped my Pelosi, three times.
I want to wear a black armband..
“Obama even comes with his own symbol, that ubiquitous circular figure that appears to be a white sun emerging from the red stripes of the U.S. flag into a blue sky. His still iconic campaign poster, featuring the word Hope below his confident image, seems almost as recognizable these days as Washington on a dollar bill.

Is it any wonder that he CHANGED Nasa’s symbol to be like his own and their mission now is to REACH OUT TO ISLAM?
NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World
Published July 05, 2010

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his “foremost” mission as the head of America’s space exploration
agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA’s orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.

I hope President Obama has another 49 more birthdays....with his NRA supporting, conservative grand kids accompanying him to Mt. Rushmore during the unveiling of the fifth president carved into the cliff—Sarah Palin.
