Michelle Obama apparently didn't get the calling-her-husband-cool-is-racist memo

Yesterday, I referenced Angela Rye, Executive Director of the Black Caucus, making the claim that calling Obama cool was racially tinged.

Today, I received the following from Mrs. Obama via email:

Rick --

From coaching basketball to knowing how many Jonas brothers there are, Barack is a pretty cool dad.

But more importantly, Barack is a wonderful father and partner. No matter what's on his plate, he puts the kids first, and they know how much he loves them.

This Father's Day, I want Barack to know how much we love and appreciate him back, so I hope you'll join me in wishing him a happy Father's Day:

Thanks for all your hard work, and happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there.

- Michelle

Ms. Rye will not be reached for comment.

Doing so wouldn't fit the meme.
