Love the President or hate him (or more likely, somewhere in between), you have to appreciate a man, who while under constant attack from the right and the left, maintains a sense of humor.

Last night was the televised, star-studded celebration of Betty White’s 90th birthday party. President Obama couldn’t make the event, but sent his wishes in a video.

Here’s the video:

Dear Betty,

You look so fantastic and full of energy. I can’t believe you’re 90 years old. In fact, I don’t believe it. That’s why I’m writing to ask if you will be willing to produce a copy of your long form birth certificate. Thanks, and Happy Birthday, no matter how old you are.
