Obama askes Betty White to release her birth certificate

&feature=player_embedded

After being asked to released his birth certificate repeatedly, President Barack Obama decided to place that tiresome question on TV icon Betty White Monday evening.

In a star studded celebration of her 90th birthday, Obama delivered the humorous message in a pre-recorded video.

“Dear Betty, you look so fantastic and full of energy,” he said. “I can’t believe you’re 90 years old. In fact, I don’t believe it! That’s why I’m writing to ask if you would be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate? Thanks and Happy Birthday, no matter how old you are.”

I met the lovely Mrs. Ludden once while on the Paramount lot in LA and she was the nicest lady you'd ever want to meet. I'm so glad to see that she's blazing brightly at 90--gives me hope for my old age when I see finely aged people doing their greatest work in their 70's 80's and 90's and on.

And in those birther faces, Mr. President!

I've liked Betty White from Sue Ann Nivins to 1-800-PetMeds commercials.

And Allen Ludden's "Password" was one of my favorite game shows. Glad she's been able to keep doing what she does so long after losing him.
