MOMocrats readers are the best! or How my April Fool's Day Joke Flopped (We aren't really meeting Obama this weekend)

Dear, dear MOMocrats readers, we are so delighted that you find our humble blog such a trustworthy source of information. So trustworthy in fact, that most of you bought this post hook line and sinker. We are flattered and feeling a wee bit guilty.

I erred on making it sound too believable. I didn't take into account how many of you would not click the links. As a result you spared yourselves from being rickrolled: no Rick Astley or Muppets singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" for you.

Did I getcha? No? Damn!

We have to give props to Lauren for her excellent, excellent—and might I add relevent—questions:

I would like to know:Is Obama ever gonna give me up?
Is he ever gonna let me down?
Is he ever gonna run around and hurt me?

Unfortunately Lauren, there is no $150 prize pack, but email us your address and I will pop a MOMocrats magnet in the mail for you.

I suck at April Fool's Day jokes. Obviously. 

But!

Your questions were so amazing, savvy, and intelligent that I am going to write them up, post them here and send them to Obama in the hopes that the campaign sits up and takes notice. We'll do the same for Hillary.

MOMocrats readers, you rule.

MOMocrats exclusive: If you got to meet Barack Obama what would you ask?

Barack Obama will be coming to Northern California this weekend for a series of fundraisers, and—exciting news!—the MOMocrats will have a chance to meet with him up close and personal. Before his swanky, $2300 per person fundraiser in Atherton, CA, the MOMocrats will be able to spend about 15 minutes with Obama asking him questions and taking photos. (We know!)

Fifteen minutes and we don't want to look lame so we're asking for your help: If you could ask Barack Obama anything, what would you ask? Would you ask about healthcare? The economy? The war? Or would you ask a personal question? (Should we ask how he does it and see if he cries?)

Please submit your questions in the comments below and to further entice you to participate, if we select yours, not only will we tell Barack Obama that the question came from you, you'll be entered to win this special MOMocrats prize package from Zazzle and other sponsors in our side bar (worth $150!). And if you don't like that prize package, we're happy to offer up one of these! (Indicate which one you'd like in the comments.)
