That's President Obama in Florida yesterday telling supporters that electoral votes -- -- -- that price is wish list for August 4 is getting awfully long though.
He wasn't.
He was -- exactly modest in some of his which -- from Melissa as you heard outperform we won't say it early.
Happy birthday.
Mr.
President and first on his list of wishes is war.
Now this I think we've got the exact number candles on this case here reports Bloomberg -- But first on the list for a second.
Up.
First Lady Michelle Obama urging people to donate three dollars for a chance to attend the president's birthday party.
Sure I -- through box three box and third.
The Obama campaign wants -- tears.
How -- this once volunteers to spend the president's birthday one of their own banks calling voters in battleground states.
That's all they want and that's not -- right.
That they -- -- in the campaign's most screwball idea is -- they've asked people also for their -- money -- and the bear money -- with me.
And what ever.
What ever it we're going to spend on their lawful and sweating and anniversary gift just ship that in and say.
As you know uncle bill and the Susan Susan -- President Obama says banks are -- today we learned that twelve point eight.
Tall point.
Eight million Americans.
3% of the workforce unemployed.
Arm in won't.
In many cases be able to afford a presidential -- ticket because they don't have a job somewhere around.
23.
To 25.

That -- -- -- -- it is not a point 3%.
But rather eight point -- 54.
0%.

The -- economics.
Advisor the president.
Is trying to push the idea that's not really eight.
Point three because that's just rounding.
From because five of course this becomes a 38 point three -- conservative carrot up to the thousandths.
Mr.
President I have to say the I think it's time to me be taken different approach -- -- advisors some Americans may not be as excited by the way either about your birthday as you apparently believe.
Some thinking back to August 5 last year.
Just one day after your birthday when standard poor's stripped the united states of its triple A credit rating.
And maybe you have this thing back maybe you should be giving the American people a -- Like reducing our trillion dollar deficits.
And are -- aren't just about sixteen trillion dollar national debt.
But -- you if you know I'm sure your he missed our collective birthday of course that was July 4 Independence Day.
Which are quite a celebration around the country but you didn't seem so -- -- -- for summaries.
Still will take whatever help you can get.
In getting our finances in order and if you're wondering about the number.
At the bottom of the chart -- European and -- and that's another way to show the obvious bias of the left wing media you might want to talk to them about it.
A study by the Media Research Center found that the three.
Willingness networks in the lame stream media that's ABC CBS and NBC.
Spent 86%.
Of their coverage of governor Romney -- overseas trip.
Reporting on his perceived gaps.
Rather than the substance of his discussions.
And appearances.
In London Israel.
And and of course -- that those networks want to make it up to the governor arm.
I think it's it's fair that I point out his birthday is march 12 doing that which well what you met.
