No birthday cake for Obama as Secret Service steps in
August 5, 2010, 1:29pm

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama said Wednesday his security staff put the kibosh on a birthday cake that was to be offered by union leaders for his 49th birthday.

Obama, who spoke at an AFL-CIO labor federation meeting in Washington, said that "it's good to spend my birthday with some good friends," but that "the Secret Service nixed the cake."

AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka had offered the US head of state birthday wishes and said the powerful labor group wanted to provide a cake for the occasion.

"I was disappointed there wasn't a cake," Obama said. Referring to the Secret Service detail that protects the leader around the clock, Obama said: "They're probably eating it right now."

His celebration may be a muted affair as First Lady Michelle Obama and youngest daughter Sasha are vacationing in Spain, while older daughter Malia is away at summer camp.

Spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama would be in Chicago later Wednesday and would have dinner with friends.

Just a question, wouldn’t that be SOP for the SS to that with all POYUS’s?

I would think it is but don’t know.

Oprah and Gayle spent it with him in Chitown, at her condo. Odd, isn’t it, now that we’re on the topic, that Stedman wasn’t there but Gayle was. Is everyone coming out now?

“Isn’t it true that Muslims don’t celebrate their birthdays??”

Yes - and this avoidance behavior is how he covers all his muslim ways. He does not take MO to muslim countries, for example.

Excellent point.

Good one! I wonder what the answer would be? (It’s too early for me to come up with a creative idea.)

Thats exactly what I was just thinking... is he that paranoia?

Or is the Secret Service dealing with so many threats from so many different walks of life on this guy they cannot trust anyone?

Look in the lower left corner.

Yes, that is a Secret Service Agent covering the cop's gun in its holster.

The real reason he couldn’t accept the cake - it is not a security issue but a religious one (Muslims don’t celebrate birthdays, right?)

[Slings and Arrows]

Man, the USSS sure know how to make friends, don’t they?

[null and void]

Darn you.

[bgill]

Is he that pansy arsed that every single picture is limp wristed?

Of course he didn’t celebrate his birthday. He doesn’t know when it is.

[FrdmLvr]

This deserves a thread of it’s own.

[bgill]

My dogs are mad at you. They were napping so peacefully until I saw that pic, ROFLMAO!

[null and void]

Roscoe done good din’t he?

Apologies to your dogs...

[bgill]

I can’t look at that without busting out laughing!
