Sign Our Birthday Card! . . . Oh, by the Way, Where Do You Vote?

The Obama campaign would like you to sign a birthday card for Vice President Joe Biden:

Today is Joe Biden’s birthday.

We’ve put together a card for him — and hundreds of thousands of supporters have already added their names and their good wishes. Joe’s going to love reading these.

So if you haven’t already, you should add your name — and a note, if you want — before we deliver the card to the Vice President:

Thank you,

Messina

Campaign Manager

Obama for America

Oh, by the way, at the link they would like your e-mail, name, and zip code . . . almost as if their motive isn’t simply the thoughtful gesture to offer warm birthday wishes but to gather updated location information about their e-mailing list to assist with get-out-the-vote efforts.

Nahhhhh.

I tried to turn myself in to the Obama site and after putting in my email address I received a notice that they wanted a donation. I closed the screen. I am now receiving emails from the Obama camp. I now know the mental level of his voters.Sad. Welcome back Jim.

Jim
You uncovered the secret truth of all political birthday card gimmicks...Start filling out your Mensa paperwork.
It's fine political reporting from the front lines of the conservative media such as this, that makes the Republican agenda so popular and conservative voters so well informed!

One has to wonder if the Democratic Party could even be able to record someone's email, name, zip code these days, after seeing Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Clinton, etc. at work.

This is not a very savvy bunch of characters, and one can only imagine it was probably very challenging for them to even send this Biden Birthday swindle from the beginning.

Regardless of party affiliation, I can't fathom the mindset that logs on to wish a politician happy birthday. It's funny, but I also think it's representative of a sad shift (on both sides) from true representative democracy to a ruling class of career politicians for whom we have weird hero worship

If your readers want to chip in for a refreshment of his medical hair restoration, I'll spring for a follicle or two.
