Listen up, guys. President Obama delivered a very important public service announcement that you all need to hear. Doesn't matter if you're a liberal, conservative, or libertarian, this message applies to everyone: Don't forget Valentine's Day, and GO BIG.
This was Obama's message today at an event in Washington. And he is so right. Right as in correct, not politically. This is totally not a political post. This is a message of LOVE!
The Prez seyz: "Today is Valentine's Day. Do. Not. Forget. I speak from experience here. It is important that you remember this and go big. That's my advice." Oof, he speaks from experience? Man, I would hate to be in the same room on the day Obama forgets to wish Michelle a proper Happy Valentines! Ouch ...
Of course, if you listen carefully, you could make a case that he actually said "go bake" and not "go big." As in, get into the kitchen and bake some cookies or brownies or something. Which would also be a good idea, so long as you don't make a huge mess and actually know what you're doing.
Either way, these are wise words for all the gentlemen of America. Good point, Mr. President. I'll be sure and forward your important message to my husband. He definitely needs to hear this.
Is there a "gentleman" in your life, and has he wished you a proper Valentine's Day yet?

None of our husbands can "go big" because they are all paying for your bail outs and hand outs Mr. Obama.
But wait - this message is discrimanatory! How dare he address just "gentlemen"! Where's the message for the women?? He must be a misogynist!
Where's the OUTRAGE!!!!!!
LOL I like that he can be silly. And haters please. It was light-hearted fun get over it :D
"Light-hearted" or not, can we just band together & vote him out of office in Nov.? I'm very tired of hearing from him 24/7, seven days a week. Talk about "over-exposure"!!!!!
Go big doesn't necessarily mean spend lots of money. Big gestures come in low cost forms, like making dinner from scratch, taking point on diaper changes or even singing a romantic song. Sheesh.
Also, I love our president, so you cannot count on me to vote him out of office. Especially not for one of the corporate shills the Republican party is using right now. Seriously, they should wrestle their party away from big business ASAP.
