HOKKAIDO, Japan, July 6 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush was treated to a surprise 62nd birthday party aboard Air Force One en route to the Group of Eight summit in Japan.
Bush and his contingent were nearing Japan when First Lady Laura Bush and senior White House staff gathered in the plane's conference room. There, a steward put a single candle on a coconut cake, the lights were dimmed, and when Bush entered the room, the group yelled, "Surprise," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Has he signed up for early social security?
Indeed, Happy B-Day Mr. President, I bet you are looking forward to just being “George” down in Crawford soon enough.
I’m going to miss him so very much. For all of the things that he’s done that have bothered me or done insufficiently, he’s also done of lot of good things. I support him and have become so emotionally vested in his Presidency that I dread that he’s leaving us. There’s a part of me that wishes that he continues his career in politics as John Quincy Adams did. We would be lib-lightened if he did. A large part of them would surely have aneurysms.
Happy Birthday Mr. President!!!
Hear hear.
God Bless you President Bush!
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Mr. President, and many, many more.
IMO, President Bush has earned a rest, he has been savaged for years now, villified and looked down upon as a dolt by the Left, I’m sure it has been tough for Laura and the now Adult Girls to bare year after year.
I think every Conservative will miss GWB soon enough definitelynotaliberal, especially on Social Issues were GWB has been a solid rock for the right to life and taxes and the 2nd amendment.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT . . . you have earned MANY, many more!
May God continue to bless you and your beautiful First Lady.
I feel the very same way... I got invested back in 2000 during the horrible recount. I wish him well and I also wish I could get as emotinally involved with McCain like I did Dubya.
We Floridians would be happy to have another Bush as our Governor.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President! :)
I will never forget your deep resolution for action in the War on Terror, and we are indebted to you as a nation.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President and many, many more!
I’ve always loved that GQ looking picture of President Bush. Thanks for posting it.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
President George W. Bush, a Truly Great and
Wonderful President and Leader of the Free World!
:-)
I agree. I believe he will stay actively involved. The family’s entire heritage are vested in this nation. It’s second nature. When others ask me whom I am going to vote for this year, I joke with them GWB!!! Happy Birthday Mr. President!
Oh I was just thinking that, appreciate the pic!!! The song still sends those certain shivers up the spine :)
