Obama Campaign Sends Mass Email Asking for People to... Sign Joe Biden's Birthday Card

If the Barack Obama campaign has somehow gotten their hands on your email address, then you should expect to be mercilessly spammed by email after email.  Normally, the campaign's messages are desperate-sounding money grabs or denouncements of Republicans.  Today, however, they sent out a new spam email like no other before.  It was entitled, "Sign Joe's Card."

Yes, like a parent who goes around school with a card for an unpopular kid, the Obama campaign is asking random people to sign an online birthday card in order to make ol' Joe feel like a special little guy.  The email is supposedly from Jill Biden, Mr. Biden's wife, and begins:

I know I don't usually send you emails, but Joe has a birthday coming up this Sunday, and I'm trying something new.

The First Family and I are putting together a special card for him, and we'd like as many supporters of this campaign as possible to add their names and messages for Joe.

She then fails to explain why anyone should care about a e-card that is clearly just campaign spam.  However, she does make it abundantly clear the the Obama Campaign is desperate.

Joe Biden: Birthday Boy

Here is the complete email:

From: Jill Biden (info@barackobama.com)
Subject: Sign Joe's card
To: "XXXXXXX XXXXXX" (xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.com)
Date: Friday, November 18, 2011, 4:04 PM

(Person's Name)--

I know I don't usually send you emails, but Joe has a birthday coming up this Sunday, and I'm trying something new.

The First Family and I are putting together a special card for him, and we'd like as many supporters of this campaign as possible to add their names and messages for Joe.

Because the year ahead is going to be a big one -- not just for Joe and me, but for all of us. We've all got some work to do.

So help us make this birthday a memorable one for Joe. Add your names, and, if you like, your own notes and well-wishes for the year ahead:
