Obama8217; Valentine8217;s Day warning: 8216;Do not forget!8217;

8220;Do not forget!8221; he warned,suggesting that he himself could have used a reminder at some point in his relationship with his wife of 19 years,Michelle. 8220;I speak from experience here.8221;

8220;It is important that you remember this,8221; he continued in a preface to remarks about the benefits of a payroll tax cut.

8220;And go big,that8217;s my advice.8221;

It was the kind of counsel that might be slightly off message for a president trying to portray himself as fiscally prudent.

But on Valentine8217;s Day men are wise to put cost aside. And,no,the president did not forget his own obligation. At 2:39 p.m.,he delivered a personal greeting on Twitter: 8220;Hey,at MichelleObama: Happy Valentine8217;s Day. -bo8221;

No word on how big he went.
