DJ Obama giving 'shout-outs' for Mother's Day

It's the thought that counts and this might be the most thoughtless Mother's Day gift ever. Even if your name is Cinderella.

From President Barack Obama's reelection campaign site:

Whether or not your mom's on Twitter, here's something guaranteed to make her smile on Sunday: getting a personal shout-out from President Obama.

From now until Thursday at midnight, you have a chance to win that for your mom or a special mother in your life—just get five or more donations to your grassroots fundraising page to automatically put yourself in the running. ...

That's right: If your name is drawn, the President will send your mom a special Mother's Day tweet from @BarackObama. With more than 15 million people following him on Twitter, she'll be honored in front of a pretty wide audience.

A "shout-out"? On Twitter?! Gag.

Your mom would probably prefer one of those terrible porcelain Precious Moments dolls.
