Michelle Obama...e-mails invites to sign Birthday Card for the President!

Today, Michelle Obama zipped off an e-mail to keep me posted on the President's progress on the hill at the White House.

In addition, the lovely 1st Lady (who has appeared on my 10 Best-Dressed List for Women, invited me to sign a Birthday Card for her hubbie (who turned 50 today).

Here is her message verbatim:

Julian -

Every day, I see Barack make choices he knows will affect every American family. That's no small task for anyone -- and more proof that he's earning every last one of those gray hairs.
This has been a busy week in Washington, but today happens to be Barack's 50th birthday. I'm writing to you because this year, the girls and I would like to do something a little different.
I'm asking friends and supporters of this campaign to wish him a happy birthday by signing his card, and sharing why you're on this journey with us.
Your names and notes will become part of a book that tells the story of this campaign -- who's building it, why we're in this thing, and what he means to us. We'll deliver a copy to Barack and send one to our campaign offices across the country.

Sign the card for Barack.

I've known Barack for more than 20 of his 50 years, and we've been through quite a lot together.
It still amazes me that no matter how many decisions and distractions he's faced with every day, he's always able to focus on the bigger picture. One way he does that is by making time for stories and letters from people like you - because he knows that this job isn't about him, but about the millions of folks around the country he's fighting for.
This next year will challenge us all to work harder than ever before, but the crucial thing is that you're here now, early on, helping to build this campaign.
I know that, like Barack and me, you have your own reasons why, so I hope you'll take a moment to sign the card and share your story with him and other supporters of this campaign.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Michelle

Well, why the heck not, eh?
 
I trust you will too;  after all, on an individual's special day,  I believe it is important to celebrate the anniversary of their birth (and put all differences aside).
 
We didn't ask the Lord to come into this world, 'ya know?
 
So, folks need  to give each other a little boost now and then, eh?
 
Amen!

U.S. Congressmen...web sites crash on heels of President Obama's request to voters!

Oval Office will not be hi-jacked by Republican hoodlums!






Shortly after Barack Obama appeared at the podium at a news conference last night at the White House, it became crystal clear that American voters immediately got the message the President was hounding home.

After enlightening viewers - and media outlets around the country - about the specifics of the current "stalemate" on the hill in respect to the budget crisis (the need for revenue increases, raising the debt ceiling, etc.) President Obama urged his fellow Americans to call up their Congressmen to voice their opinion.

That sly devil!

No doubt Mr. Obama was keen to the fact - that if voters acted on the request - all hell would break loose on the Internet for hours (maybe even days).

Uh-huh!

Within minutes - dozens of web sites  hosted by U.S. Congressmen - crashed because the traffic flow was so great!

And, what - pray tell - was their lament of the day?

News at 11!

Critics wondered where Congressman Boehner was staring!

Michelle Obama...was child's question on illegals a set up?

How timely!

Shortly after President Felipe Calderon of Mexico and his wife Margarita Zavala arrived in Washington to attend tonight's tony State dinner, Michelle Obama was thrown headlong into the controversy surrounding the landmark Immigration Reform Bill signed into law in Nevada a scant two weeks ago.

During an educational  "play session" in a classroom at a local school - with Margarita Zavala in tow - a student of hispanic origin asked the surprised 1st Lady what was being done to help one of her relatives who was in the country illegally.

Did someone organizing the event - with a political agenda in mind - set Michelle Obama up?

Michelle, unlike George W. Bush - who tended to choke when pointed questions were delivered out-of-the-blue his way- was quick to respond without skipping-a-beat.

Her choice of words was mighty intriguing,  however!

"Yes, We must make sure people have the "right" papers," she calmly told the young child as the media and members of the President's detail went into a tizzy.

Curiously, after the unexpected incident went down, individuals close to the student who posed the question were suddenly "not available" to talk to the press or comment further on the controversial moment.

A spokesperson (!) on behalf of the student and her family asserted that they were afraid to come forward.

From where I stood it smacked of a conspiracy to pressure the President into taking action.

After all, it stretches one's credulity to imagine that the child in question - suffering that particular illegal immigrant dillemma - would happen to be present at a such a high-security event today of all days.

And, likewise - be allowed  to pose a volatile question sure to rock the White House.

Barack Obama...Stephanopoulos baits Prez! Palin dried-up tea bag...

That George Stephanopoulus is a crafty devil when it comes to the subject of that dried-up old tea bag, Sarah Palin.

For example, in a one-on-one interview with President Obama on the subject of Nuclear materials this morning, he was relentless in his sly efforts to bait the Commander-in-Chief with pointed queries about the former VP hopeful from the frozen North.

But, Obama was light on his feet and evaded the velvet punches.

“Trying to get a rise out of me,” the President qently teased, as George shifted uncomfortably in the hot seat.

Frankly, I doubt that the President would be attracted to an uneducated backwoods country hick like Sarah Palin, y’all!

No boner surfacing there!

Obama passed with flying colors.

However, one off-handed biting remark dredged up a full-frontal attack from the Palin camp on the propaganda trail today elsewhere in the Nation.

Palin wasn’t about to ignore Barack’s back-handed assessment of her lack of familiarity (and knowledge) on the subject of nuclear materials.

“Oh yes, Barack's role as a community worker makes him an expert on the issue,” she laughed in so many words, to a roar of approval from supporters watching her back.

At that rally, she repeated her assertion that there was nothing wrong with the “tea party” being the irascible “no party”.

In response, pundits wondered aloud if there was much bark to her bite.

Meanwhile, President Obama continues to go on his merry way, unfettered by the hollow quitter who’s fast becoming a big joke around the country.

Amen!

Palin out of fashion!

Bill Clinton...fundraising for Democrats! Fighting Tea Party extremist battle...

Didn't I spy another sawbuck in that wallet?

The Democrats have put Bill Clinton's considerable skills for rustling up money (the Bill Clinton Foundation is proof of the pudding boy's capabilities in that arena) to good use this week.

For example, this morning when I checked my snail mail, I stumbled across a fundraising letter with the former President's John Henry on its face, tucked neatly amidst a handful of bills screaming out to be paid.

Bill prefaced his bid for big buck donations by noting that the American people - faced with challenging times and a tough republican party - have to win victories.

"That's exactly what our Democrats in the House of Representatives have been doing - winning progress - for you and your family."

Mr. Clinton cited the passing of the economic stimulus package as a shining example.

"According to the Congressional Budget Office, it created new jobs, boosted the economy, and won the largest increase in College Aid in History," he noted smugly.

In addition, slick Willy boasted that the Democrats also won "comprehensive financial reform" to rein in Wall Street and protect consumers.

"And, they passed a health care reform plan that lowers costs, expands access, and protects consumers from delayed or denied coverage."

Jumping the gun a bit?

The Washington swashbuckler moved on.

"The upcoming 2010 mid-term election will be one of the most challenging and most expensive contests in  History. The Republicans are already in the field spending millions of dollars on attack ads ($60 million provided by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce &  "60 Plus" - a phony Senior Group - designed to mislead the public and misrepresent votes cast by courageous Democrats in support of President Obama's agenda for change)."

At this juncture, Mr.  Clinton noted that in order to push back the Republicans, funds were urgently needed for the Democrats' own full-frontal attack.


"The last thing we want is to let the Republican Party - a party that has been hijacked by "Tea Party" extremists - to gain seats in November. That means we have to defend every threatened Democratic seat and take away a few more Republican ones as well."

Why does money matter?

Bill gets to the point.

"Money matters because (the Democrats) have to protect an unprecedented number of seats in a mid-term election when, historically, the party in power loses seats."

"Money matters because we (the Democrats) are faced with a highly motivated opposition that seeks to demonize President Obama and everything for which the Democratic party stands for."

"Money matters because Republican special interests have a financial and ideological stake in preventing reforms that benefit the American people and will put their immense wealth behind Republicans who vote against reforms and try to depress Democratic turnout by aruging that , as the President says, we haven't cleaned up the mess they (Republicans) made fast enough."

On that note, Clinton urges that Democrats plop the cash down to:

*Help the DCCC provide urgently needed resources for Democrats who voted for your interests.

*Help the DCCC back candidates to challenge vulnerable Republicans who need to be held accountable.

*Help the DCCC deploy more field workers to refute every lie and distortion uttered by the opposition.

 Powerfully potent political stuff, eh?

Par-tay party!

Sarah Palin...racked up big bucks on shopping spree! Repubs paid through nose...

Republicans had designs on Palin!

She's gonna put us in the poor house!

When the scandal brought last year about Sarah Palin's celebrated make-over (courtesy of the party) - it was assumed that a fashion expert keen on the Republican "image" - rustled up a few select wardrobe pieces for the campaign trail (at which point the parcels were summarily delivered to her Hotet suite in NYC).

On the contrary!

According to John McCain's campaign Manager - Steve Schmidt - Palin was under the impression she was given carte blanche to zip around town to all the toniest boutiques and simply charge away at whim without any budget constraints.

"If Palin's spending on clothes had been  accurately reported during the campaign, the country would have been in an uproar," he sniped in so many words.

At a recent chi chi soiree at the Cut steakhouse( Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel)  - where celebrated guests included Dolly Parton, Governor Schwarzenegger, Willie Brown and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd - everyone was all ears when he spilled the beans on Palin on the heels of spiteful comments she made in her book about McCain's right-hand man.

According to Schmidt, her account of things was 100 percent fiction!

Maybe the former ice Queen should be penning dime-store novellas and purple prose?

"She would go into a store, buy everything in sight, and have the bill sent to the Republican National Committee.

"I stopped counting at $250,000.00."

If the clothes were "borrowed" (as the party claimed in their defense) - and turned over to a "charity" -  then some lucky street folks are looking pretty spiffy on the mean streets of the city these days, eh?

Lush scandal kept under wraps!

Democrats...battlefield kit! Sarah Palin voodoo doll...

Yesterday, after our mutual decision to follow each other on Twitter, I received an e-mail communication from John Vogel at the Democratic Committee headquarters (DCCC) in Washington (DC).

"I'm sure you've heard the same media coverage I have," he quipped in the opening paragraph of his greeting.

"Republicans have the momentum. Democrats are in disarray. The Tea Party movement is sweeping America."

At this juncture, Vogel made a pitch for me to join the Democratic party.

"January 20th marks the one-year anniversary since President Obama took office. The pundits and the Republicans are in full-blown "spin mode" trying to attack the President. We have set a goal of having 10,000 new members by January 20th and we need your urgent support today to reach it."

I guess he hadn't heard.

When folks probe me as to whether I am a Republican or a Democrat, I usually quip:

"I'm a Canadian."

But, since my disaapproval for Prime Minister Stephen Harper is pretty widespread, I surmise Vogel was urged by his "masters" to give it a shot nonetheless.

"There has never been more of a critical time to join the Democratic Congressional Campaign," he continued earnestly.

If I acted  now, he concluded, there was a golden opportunity to show the world that I stood behind President Barack Obama and the Democrats.

If I made a contribution, and joined the political party officially, I would also receive a special House insider strategy session, an official membership card (who-ee!) and a battleground kit send out by U.S. Post.

I sat bolt upright.

I was intigued by the battleground kit, you betcha!

But, when I clicked onthe  image, I was immediately transported to a donation page!

In fact, when I conducted a search to locate a photograph of the kit and its contents, I came up empty-handed.

Since a kit to prepare for battle must be secret from warriors on the other side, I expect potential new members are kept in the dark until their pledge is honored and the kit summarily arrives in a plain brown paper-wrapping at their home in the burbs in somewhere USA.

Once the handy kit ceremoniously arrives in the mail, I expect it will contain clandestine instructions on how to facilitate a bevy of the useful tools (and tips) the Democrats have graciously provided.

Here's what I expect to have been carefully packed inside:

  1.  Palin doll with 2012 etched on chest with  12 needles
  2   Reid book with Obama quips lightly blacked out
  3.  McCain gaffes circled in bright red in Reid tome
  4.  Standard quips to utter when asked about healthcare
  5.  Document confirming Obama's birth somewhere.
  6.  Ayres terrorist manifesto with Perez Hilton scribbles on face
  7.  Testimonies from staffers that Obama is straight as arrow
  8.  Detailed map of bike trails in Washington (& Hawaii)
  9.  Locations of Burger Kings (& quickest late night routes)
10.  Biscuits for 1st dog to curry favor next visit to white house.

The check is in the mail!

By the way, do you know what the other two biggest lies are?

*Black is beautiful
*I promise not to c** in your mouth

Picture worth a thousand excuses!

President Obama...appoints Howard Schmidt to head up CyberSecurity @ White House!

Today, I received an e-mail from one of my contacts at the White House, informing me that the President has chosen Howard Schmidt to be the White House Cybersecurity Coordinator.

John O. Brennan - Assistant to the President for Homeland Security & Counterterrorism - prefaced the announcement by noting that protecting the internet is critical to National Security, public safety, and the personal privacy of U.S. Citizens and their civil liberties.

 "It’s also vital to President Obama’s efforts to strengthen our country, from the modernization of our health care system to the high-tech job creation central to our economic recovery," he added matter-of-fact.

Howard Schmidt will have the responsibility of orchestrating the many important cybersecurity activities across the government.

According to White House officials, the appointee is one of the world’s leading authorities on computer security with some forty years of experience in government, business and law enforcement.

Howard will have regular access to the President and serve as a key member of his National Security Staff.

He will also work closely with Obama's economic team to ensure that cybersecurity efforts in the Nation are secure and prosperous.

In closing, Brennan noted that Officials in Washington will use the WhiteHouse.gov e-mail program  (and  other communication tools) to keep concerned citizens such as myself (and others) posted about the progress being made in this area which is of utmost importance to President Obama.

I look forward to those updates, Mr. President!

Robert Mueller...FBI's top dog being impersonated by Nigerian scam artists!

Do these scam artists really expect anyone to believe that this message was actually from Robert Mueller, FBI head in Washington?

Where's that spam button when 'ya need it!
