An excerpt from an email I received from the First Lady:
Steve --
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.
And I'm sure you signed it!! I feel slighted because I never got the invitation. BTW, apparently Michelle and family are apparently vacationing in ritzy Spain again right now on my dime. Some birthday present - guess she is getting all the trips in she can before she gets kicked out of the royal residence.

More corruption - from BOTH sides.
