Obama Christmas Cards, Sent & Received

President Obama and First Lady Obama sent out White House Christmas cards featuring an image of First Dog Bo in the library, dozing by the fire place. The text on the inside of the card reads “From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season.” It includes a gold Presidential seal and signatures.

Today OFA Deputy Campaign Manager Julianna Smoot sent an e-mail to Obama supporters, asking them to sign a Christmas card for the First Family.

The image features the new First Family portrait, taken on Dec. 11.

"I think we should show Barack and Michelle how many people are standing with them," Smoot wrote. "It may feel like a small gesture, but it's one that becomes very large, very quickly, when hundreds of thousands of people add their names. I just know it's going to mean the world to them."

Smoot's e-mail had the subject heading "For the Obamas."

XXXX--

I've known the President and the First Lady for a long time.

I've seen them face some big years before. But the year ahead will be the biggest.

And as we head into 2012, I think we should show Barack and Michelle how many folks are standing with them.

A couple of us on the campaign are putting together a card for everyone to sign with our names and notes, wishing the President and the First Lady well for the year ahead. It may feel like a small gesture, but it's one that becomes very large, very quickly, when hundreds of thousands of people add their names. I just know it's going to mean the world to them.

This is Barack Obama's last campaign. Let's show him and Michelle that we'll be behind them every step of the way next year:
