Happy Birthday Mr. President
I don’t usually read the Washington Post but I saw this article in my news feed and it made me laugh! :)
President Obama, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs joked, wanted to spend his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese, but the restaurant was booked.
So as he marked his 48th year Tuesday, the 44th president opted to celebrate in a place known for similarly childlike antics: the White House briefing room.
Anywho all joking aside, I am kind of surprised that the president is only 48 years old. I knew he was kind of young but I had no idea that he was THAT young. I hope that I accomplish as much as he has by the age of 48.
