The Obama fundraising operation never lets a holiday go by without making a plea for financial support. Today is Vice President Joe Biden's 69th birthday, and while it isn't (yet!) a national holiday, Campaign Manager Jim Messina sent an afternoon e-mail to donors suggesting a special celebration: Drop $20 (or more!) "to get your official Cup-of-Joe mug." Above, the mug as it appears on the OFA swag store website, complete with one of the Veep's favorite words, "literally," in the promo.
"I can't think of a better way to honor the Vice President's birthday than for his smile to grace kitchen tables and workplaces across America," Messina wrote in his e-mail.
Made in the USA, the mug is a big *&%!$*# deal, isn't it? And a perfect accompaniment to the Obama Birther Mug the Campaign is selling. Unfortunately, unlike President Obama's mug, Biden's doesn't have his birth certificate on it. Or Biden's other *&%!$*# signature fave word, which would make it a best-seller.
The mug missive was Messina's second Biden birthday e-mail of the day. Earlier, he sent an follow-up to Dr. Jill Biden's e-mail request that supporters sign a birthday card for her husband. Messina asked for more signatures "before we deliver the card to the Vice President."
"Hundreds of thousands of supporters have already added their names and their good wishes. Joe's going to love reading these," Messina wrote.
Messina's coffee mug e-mail had the subject heading "On this day in 1942".

The text of Messina's mug e-mail:
Friend --
Joe Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on this day in 1942.
I can't think of a better way to honor the Vice President's birthday than for his smile to grace kitchen tables and workplaces across America.
Wish Joe a happy birthday -- donate $20 or more to get your official Cup of Joe mug today:
