Democrats hope Obama 49th birthday events spark funds, turnout for candidates

Democrats in Austin are throwing a Hawaiian-style luau Wednesday, complete with "tropical fruit, deserts and side dishes."

There's a "presidential potluck" in Phoenix and a "49 Candles for America" party in Des Moines. And the official Organizing for America iPad app is calling on all Americans to pull out their old 2008 campaign paraphernalia -- "YES WE CAN! YES WE WILL!" the app says -- and wear it proudly Wednesday.

The reason: President Obama turns 49.

In need of an enthusiasm transfusion, the president's political operation is celebrating a year early, betting that the millions of Obama activists who helped him become president won't care that the traditional 50th birthday bash isn't until next year. They're hoping that a frenzy of birthday wishes for the commander-in-chief (Can you believe he's 49? Let's celebrate!) will translate into millions of dollars and thousands of phone calls on behalf of Democratic candidates who face the voters this fall.

Those activists are being deluged with e-mails this week, including one from Michelle Obama, with the subject line: "Will you sign Barack's birthday card with me?"

"Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday," the first lady writes. "Together with other Organizing for America supporters -- and me, Malia, Sasha, and Bo -- we'll wish him a happy birthday and let him know that we're ready to take on the year ahead alongside him."

“Democrats in Austin are throwing a Hawaiian-style luau Wednesday, complete with “tropical fruit, deserts and side dishes...there’s a “presidential potluck” in Phoenix and a “49 Candles for America” party in Des Moines.”

And, just like at certain 30k a plate fundraisers, Obama won’t be having dinner with any of you.

The Democrats would donate a lot more if 0bama produced that long form birth certificate. They would love stuffing it in our faces. The problem for 0bama is that he can’t produce it. He is a fraud.

I would rather spend my Birthday in the company of friends and family.
I would not want to spend my birthday surrounded by cheering strangers

“How about a Long Form Birth Certificate showing Kai’polani as the hospital of birth?

Can Obama spend the $12 to get one for himself for his own birthday?”

Stunning that we’re 18 months into this guy’s POTUS term, and we still barely know anything about his past. AMAZING. Pathetic really. How’s the hopey changey thingie workin’ out for ya AmeriKa?

The Demohack left seems to think that America is totally celebrating this losers birthday like some sort of national holiday.

Maybe if they were as big into Washington’s birthday as this guy, they wouldn’t be seen as a bunch of America-hating pricks.

Wow. This is what they’ve resorted to? I don’t recall caring too much about when any modern Prez was born...talk about ‘nothing better to do.’ And of course there’s the whole irony that we still don’t know which hospital - HI, Seattle, Nairobi (Kisumu?) he was born in, and even if we did, we’re still not sure about his NBC status (Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution for all you ‘tinfoil hat’ protaganists...;))

Good point. What and odd life that is - and even more bizarre to *want* that.

Jeremy Bird sent me an email giving the location of the real estate office listed above as the address of a celebration. It would be a terrible tragedy if anyone were to contact the owners of the listed properties and let them know what their listing agent supported. If would be even worse if folks faking Cuban accents made and then later broke appointments due to the political view of the business.
