We feel responsible and we apologize.
When Michelle Obama asked people to sign a birthday card to “Wish Barack a Happy Birthday,” we urged you to leave him a special IHTM kind of message.
Turns out it was just a cheesy fundraising ploy and now the Democratic National Committee has followed up with a “chain letter” asking everyone who left birthday greetings to forward Michelle’s message “to five friends.”
The tacky new email, sent by Organizing for America founder David Plouffe, says:
“Today’s the President’s 49th birthday, and I just heard how many of you have signed his birthday card so far: 1,266,611 as of this morning.
“It’s already an amazing show of support. But before the card is delivered — with all of your signatures — I want to make sure as many folks as possible get the chance to sign it.
“Will you forward the First Lady’s e-mail below to five friends and ask them to sign with you?”
The e-mail provides a link to the official “Sign the card” Web page, which asks for a name and an e-mail address. Clicking the “Send the card” button takes the viewer directly to a page soliciting money.
“Send your money to Washington, DC.” That seems to sum up this administration’s entire economic policy.
