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."

By what mechanism do we know that the Moslem is 49 and his birthday is 8/4?
Turnout? Heck! His wife’s not even showing up!
Served up, no doubt, by a heapin' helpin' of illegals!
Communist leaders always have HUGE birthday celebrations, ours is no different.
North Korea today celebrated the birthday of its leader, Kim Jong-il, with lavish displays of synchronised swimming, extravagant rallies and the customary paeans in the state-owned media.
But now he expressed to me how dissalusioned he is with Obama and that he is just another black Bush, and that he had an epiphany about how no politician is worth a pile of dog doo and feels totally stabbed in the back and kicked to the curb, (even though he still likes Obama personally).
...and this from a full blown leftist young black man who worked his way up to a $60,000 a year job from the ghetto
“Washington’s 50th birthday: ringing bells, artillery firing, schools out, militia in uniform strutting through the streets. Like Obama Washington made his birthday a gift to the nation.”
Unbelievable. Comparing Obama to Washington....I am speechless. Obama’s birthday is now a gift to all of us. Unbelievable.
I don’t recall Dubya pimping his own birthday for a fundraiser.
All the rats care about is money. They view carpet-bombing pubs with negative TV ads as their only chance at hanging onto power.
It might work. The NV senate polls are beyond comprehension.
On the ocassion of that fascist prigs 49th birthday, I demand that he resign from the office he is unqualified to hold, and fraudulently obtained.
How can he have a birthday if he doesn’t know when he was born, or even how old he is?
I guess they just arbitrarily picked a day and a year.
The smoke and mirrors around his fake birth continue with a fake “birthday.”
Happy birthday, whoever you are! LOL!
how does he know he’s 49 without a real birth certificate?
and if they are having a party for him turning 49, can you IMAGINE the “party” when he turns 50?
the narcissist in chief will make it a federal holiday-forever!
"BLAME IT ON BUSH!"
F__k’n commie pigs! I look forward to 0b0z0 & his family & all the idiots who voted for this commie pig, to roast in Hell throughout eternity!
