Obama Asks Betty White To Release Birth Certificate (VIDEO)

If we didn't know better, we'd call this a campaign ad.

In honor of her 90th birthday, President Obama sent a video message to Betty White, asking to see her long-form birth certificate. After all, she is incredibly spry for a woman of advancing age.

In the clip, Obama writes a postcard making the request to White, then enjoys the soothing tune "Thank You For Being A Friend," on his iPod.

We're not sure how many hipster votes Obama just re-won with this, but considering the write-in campaign that got Betty White a hosting gig on "SNL", it's probably a lot.

Betty is not running for presedent, or anything else for that matter.

God bless her. She's a lucky one - able to be old and do what she loves. Her mind and body are active and keeps her going. My Mom is 92, drives, good health, gardens, sees friends, cleans her own home, even smokes. She's always kept moving, and eats little. Guess that's the secret.

But he never even went to kenya until he was 26. So are you saying he came out of the womb at 26 years old? How did the birth announcement get into Hawaii? Do his parents have psychic powers? How did his White Kansas mother get he baby out of the womb and into Kenya when she never went there ever? Did she have such strong labour that she shot the baby right across the Atlantic Ocean and past other African Countries into Kenya. Because if so, that is a cool sight to see: flying baby Barack. That is so cool.

Flying baby Barack - thanks for the image - amazing what strong labor can do!

Obama is so gorgeous, classy, smart, funny, and I am so happy he is our president. Yes, he's also a man of good character and integrity.

Betty's birth certificate really IS chiseled in stone.

When President Obama visited Australia recently, he was just hilarious, especially when he addressed our parliament and road tested our "ockerisms" or aussie speak. He is a very likeable and very genuine man and a far cry from the previous president (Gdubya) who visited and interfered in our politics as well as showing us how stupid he could be.

We like him and plan to keep him for another 4 years.

People can say what they want, but I think that bit with President Obama asking for the long form birth certificate from Betty White was very funny. Kudos to the man for making fun of himself and what had been asked of him.
