I got an email from the President |
|
xxxxxx --
I want to thank you for signing my birthday card.
Michelle told me that she was planning something a little different this year, and I was overwhelmed by the kind words I received from so many supporters like you.
This job has a way of offering humbling moments. And the support you have shown me, time and time again, has sustained me through any number of difficult days. It is more than any president deserves, and I could not be more grateful.
On my birthday, I spent some time considering what the year ahead will bring -- a new set of challenges and opportunities, some that we can foresee and some that we cannot.
If we continue to stand together, I know we will continue to move America forward and win these fights for change.
Thank you again for taking a moment to sign my card. As far as birthdays go, it is hard to imagine topping this one. But then again, Michelle always has a way of surprising me.
Sincerely,
Barack

Oh, I know these went to all of us who signed, but I like it.
And I never pass up an opportunity to let him know what we need... not even on his birthday.

And I know that we all got one, too, but I was still tickled to get it. I was grateful for the opportunity... :bounce:

I'm constantly surprised, delighted, edified, and entertained by those who insist on pissing in the Wheaties of another... it speaks louder about the pisser than it does the Wheaties:) :hi:
:rofl:
Keep up the good work! The world needs a little levity right now.

14. You know, hairballs can be dangerous to a cat. |
|
A little Vaseline on the paws might work. They lick it off and the hairballs get pooped right out.

What can't it do? Perhaps if we smear it liberally on DU, it will cut down on the friction;)

26. Yeah, but if you use Vaseline on DU it will degrade the protective Latex |

34. Well, I figure we might as well use up what we have in the house. |
|
Everybody has little jars of Vaseline in the medicine cabinets.
But you're right. It is a petroleum product and we should definitely avoid them. :hi:
