A Letter from Michelle

Dear Howard –

Guess whose birthday is rapidly approaching?  No not Sasha’s…no not Maliya’s either. That’s right, Barack’s big day is this week.  Can you believe that this absolutely wonderful man, great husband, loving dad and adequate president is turning 51 this week?

And, what do I get for a man who has everything in the world…….including power, fame, a standing army, a 747 at his disposal etc.  Somehow a new tie or CD or new wallet seems a little lame.

Therefore, I thought I would raise $300 million for his re-election campaign.  This would be such a welcome birthday gift for Barack. It would free him up from having to run from speaking to a Jewish organization one night to raise a few million dollars to then jumping on a plane to fly to the Mid-West to speak before a large labor union the next night for a few more million before jumping on another plane only to fly out to the West Coast to have dinner with George Clooney and a few friends for a few more million.  Barack would love not to have to go back to Wall Street and make all kinds of promises to weaken Dodd-Frank to get the Street’s financial backing for this political campaign.  And think of all the time to actually make foreign and domestic policy freed from the time constraints of raising campaign funds.

So I am asking each of Barack’s 100 million supporter to give $3 each for his re-election campaign.  This would be the best birthday gift for any president running for re-election.  Please help me make this a birthday Barack will not forget.

Michelle

P.S. Please keep this quiet as I do not want to spoil the surprise.
