All you have to do is ship your baby to Barack Obama! That's the genius (OK, twisted genius) behind Shaya's Web site, http://sendbarackyourbaby.com/. This is how it works, according to the site: "Barack Obama travels a lot, but many babies live in places he hasn't been. That's why he's now accepting babies by mail. Send him your baby, and he'll kiss it and send it back to you." Just pack up baby in a well-padded box and when he/she arrives at Obama's Chicago headquarters, he will kiss the baby, hug the baby or give hope to the baby (your choice). A kiss and a hug take about two minutes each; hope takes twice as long. Your baby will be returned to you in about 14 business days.
The Web site features a helpful FAQ. For example, we learn that Obama is doing this revolutionize campaigning for the millions of babies who would otherwise never get to meet him. You'll find out that you cannot accompany your baby, nor can you send a camera. Babies will be fed infant formula or mashed fruits and veggies. In case you wondered, even though the address is a P.O. box, the mailman will not put your baby in that tiny little post office box.

In case you didn't get it: IT'S A JOKE! Do not mail your baby. Please. "The point is not to make a political statement. It's just a silly joke," Shaya told News24.com, adding that "hopefully" no real babies have been mailed.
