Don't celebrate Obama's birthday By: Keith Koffler August 4, 2010 10:08 AM EDT
Today is President Barack Obama’s 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 Obama’s day of birth the feel of a holiday.
OFA members are being urged to bake birthday cakes, photograph them and send the image to OFA’s 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 don’t, 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

‘minus the red Corvette’
What do they mean? He took over the entire company!
Who could forget this one for the narcissitic One?
“But fervid allegiance to a person instead of a principle can lead to the identification of the leader with the state.
An example of this occurred last September, when the Education Department wanted to turn a laudable effort extolling the values of learning into an Obama rally for tots. Children throughout the nation were to start their school year with a classroom video of Obama talking about the wonders of education.
The original plan included a suggestion for the kids to write a letter to themselves about “what they can do to help the president” and discuss “what the president wants us to do.” After an outcry from Republicans, this plan was changed. “
The downward direction of our country is Obama’s dream of “hope” and “change”. Obama is not good enough to even kiss my arse.

Here’s one way to celebrate Obama’s birthday - take all but one piece of food out of your dog’s dish and give the rest to the strays who spend their time wander around looking for hand-outs.
Explain to your confused dog that that’s his punishment for being so selfish and uncaring towards the needs of those less fortunate than he is.
(note: if your dog is white, take away ALL of his food.)
Perhaps we should all honor him by taking a dump on the koran....
I read somewhere that “ofay” was pig latin for “foe”. To pigs like Obomba, white people ARE the foe.
We are the cake we’ve been waiting for.
I’m celebrating Coast Guard Day today.
Semper paratus!
Excellent reply !!!!
I refuse to celebrate this filthy traitors first day of life. However, should I be so fortunate as to be around for his last day, I will host a bbq like no other.
I thought Muslims did not believe in celebrating birthdays
“minus the red Corvette.”
I think he’d pee his pants if he tried to drive a Corvette, judging from the way he drove that Volt. I doubt he can drive anything other than (maybe) a golf cart. I wonder if he even has a driver’s license. I’m pretty sure you have to show your birth certificate to get your first license.
Yeah,
Like I was going to party like it is the forth of July?
May take a longer pooh in his honor.
August 4, 1961...a day which will live in infamy.
Assuming this really is the date. I don’t think they keep very accurate records in Kenya.
For the malignant narcissists, it's ALL about them, eh?
