Can you sign Michelle’s birthday card, The?

The—

Michelle’s birthday is coming up in just a few days, and I want to do something special to celebrate this brilliant, funny, generous woman.

So I’m putting together a birthday card for her, and I’m asking you to add your name, The. You can also add a note thanking Michelle for everything she does to mentor and support girls and young women through initiatives like the Girls Opportunity Alliance, or anything else you admire about her.

Wish Mrs Obama a Happy Birthday.

Add your name

I’ve had the honor of being married to Michelle for 33 years, so I like to think I know her pretty well. She’s not one for big, lavish gifts. But she does love hearing from people, spreading kindness, and encouraging everyone to do their part in making the world a better place.

That’s why I know that this community’s appreciation and kind words would really make her birthday extra special.

Barack and Michelle Obama waving from the stage.

I’ll be giving Michelle her card this Saturday, and I hope your name will be on it. Thank you for helping me celebrate her, today and every day.

—Barack
