Happy Birthday, Mr President and many, many happy returns.

(24,624 posts)and best looking, which makes it easier to get these great shots. Pete Souza must thank his lucky stars he has President Obama, Michelle and the girls as his subjects!
Thanks, ailsagirl. These are great.

Joe tweets, "Happy 55th, Barack! A brother to me, a best friend forever."
Never takes a bad photo.

(15,960 posts)Candidate Barack encouraged me to become a precinct chair. I am forever grateful that he did.
I am truly going to miss the Obama's after they leave the White House. I'm just hoping he still has something planned that will forever keep him in the public eye!
Thx for sharing, ailsagirl
