According to Deadspin, Jordan was asked to sign a birthday card for Obama as a gift for the president's 50th birthday. Former chief strategist David Axelrod owns a host of political artifacts, and he wanted to get the president something special for such an important milestone:
There's also a napkin signed by JFK, a letter from the newly elected Abraham Lincoln to the Chicago mayor's son, and a signed poster of Michael Jordan. "When the president turned 50, I wanted to get him something special ... so I sent it to Jordan to have him sign it for me." In black Sharpie, Jordan scrawled, "To Barrack: you still owe me dinner. Wishing you well, Michael Jordan."
