Make up your mind. He's the fucking President. He issues statements about births and deaths. Big whoop. If you don't celebrate this one's birth just because Obama issued a statement or because he's a Prince that's your issue. But that baby doesn't know he's a prince or who President Obama is.

the only reason anyone gives a shit at all about this one is because his parents are rich anachronisms. When POTUS starts congratulating ordinary parents, then your question might make an ounce of sense.
