Obama is not my father. Your daily sweet leaping Jesus comes from First Lady Michelle Obama, who sent an email this morning asking Americans to wish President Barack Obama a happy father's day: "Friend -- From coaching basketball to knowing how many Jonas brothers there are, Barack is a pretty cool dad. But more importantly, Barack is a wonderful father and partner. No matter what's on his plate, he puts the kids first, and they know how much he loves them. This Father's Day, I want Barack to know how much we love and appreciate him, so I hope you'll join me in wishing him a happy Father's Day: http://my.barackobama.com/Fathers-Day Thanks for all your hard work, and happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there. - Michelle"
What's the big deal? It's just an excuse to collect your contact information so they can barrage you with spam for the election. D'oh!

[rquoter]Thanks for all your hard work, and happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there.[/rquoter] Apparently Michelle Obama is also under the impression that there are may people "out there" who are her father.
I entered the Clooney contest and kept getting spammed, so I opted out. while I was on the mailing list, Obama did this for Michelle and Mother's Day. funny how Mike Riggs and his Reason blog didn't jump on this with a "daily sweet leaping Jesus" moment, and the faux outrageous reaction didn't follow.
