The president turns 48 today. Kind of old when you consider Active Discrimination Against Gay Servicemembers is a mere teen (age 15), and his younger tweenage sister Federal Ban on Same-Sex Marriage (age 13) is just getting over Hannah Montana. Now show us that birth certificate!

UPDATE: The president celebrates with Times reporter Helen Thomas:

Yes, Happy Birthday President Obama.
You inherited an absolute clusterfuck of problems from the Bush administration, you’ve made some progress in repairing the damage done to our country (with more work to do), and made some mistakes as well…you’ve taken some valid criticism from the gays about not being a ‘fierce enough advocate’ for us…and had lots of delusional crap directed at you from various straights and gays alike.
I hope you are able to solve (or at least lessen the severity of) the myriad problems we face, able to get the goddamn democrats ‘in line’ and to have them start acting like real democrats, and make our country a better, fairer place to live for gays and straights alike, and wish you success.
Thanks for the snarky ‘birther’ reference Queerty, you are truly the ‘Orly Taitz’ of gay blogs.

Dear Obama, It’s too bad your birthday falls in the summer
— less TV ratings and news coverage — which is ALL you are about ie: Ratings, Popularity and Pathetic grabs to play the middle and be liked by all. I hope you get a pair of balls as a gift this year.

Love Helen Thomas, bet she would have liked a straight answer to a question instead of a cupcake.

birtherday?
