This is a little petty considering what’s at stake this election season. But it also highlights the RNC’s willingness to perpetuate a lie and the DNC’s willingness to pound Romney on his lack of transparency. And it was all done over one cake.
From Huffington Post:
The Republican National Committee mocked President Barack Obama on Friday, sending a cake to the Democratic National Committee with a backhanded message commemorating Obama’s upcoming birthday.
“You didn’t bake this,” reads text on the cake.
The message on the cake mocks President Obama’s campaign speech last month on small businesses and infrastructure which the Romney campaign has edited and used repeatedly to lie to voters.
Melanie Rousell at the DNC was quick to respond:
“This is typical of Mitt Romney’s approach to the middle class,” she said. “He wants to ‘Let them eat cake!’ while robbing them blind. We sent the cake back to the RNC, along with a copy of the Tax Center’s report on Mitt Romney’s tax plan.”

Way to go, DNC!
Bravo to the DNC. That’s how you handle lying bullies.
Maybe he did not make the cake, but if it were not the Presidents birthday someone would of not made his cake, and got paid, so his birthday is a job creator and helps keep someones business going. . The GOP/TP are so ignorant.
Isn’t this just the most immature, asinine, spitballs-in-class, farting-in-the-elevator, childish stick-out-your-tongue-over-the-back-fence downright DUMB thing to do??? It’s the President’s birthday, like anybody else’s birthday!! How would you like to get something nasty written on your birthday cake?? Wouldn’t that make you feel good?? Glad they didn’t have firecrackers in the candles or poop in the batter – That woulda been REALLY funny!!!
Dear God, I remember when my son did something dumb in the car once amd my Dad, saying, “Get some sense!” I still have trouble believing that people who are supposed to be adults are so lacking in sense…
The modern Republican Party — your ultimate source for petty snark, malicious rumors, and burning bags of dog poop left on your front porch.
I’m surprised they admitted he even knows when his birthday is.
The GOP elephant suffers from amnesia.
