WASHINGTON--President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday Thursday night with a celebrity-filled bash, as entertainer Chris Rock reported on his Twitter feed: "Just left the Presidents birthday party at the White House. Herbie Hancock played, Stevie Wonder sang and yes they did the electric slide. A great night."
Daughter Malia, 13 just arrived home from summer camp in time for the Rose Garden party as she was joined by her sister, Sasha, 10, First Lady Michelle, grandmother Marian Robinson and their godmother, Eleanor "Mama Kaye, Wilson," who flew to Washington from Chicago on Air Force One with Obama when he returned from his Thursday fund-raiser back home.

...”Obama’s team was not eager for pictures of the bash, coming as the stock market was plunging...”
My instincts tell me that the Obamas and their friends have been celebrating mass short-sellings of the markets these past few days. Is it unthinkable? I think not.
He is really Steven Spielbergs little lapdog.
Maybe if people stopped paying to see his movies?
The ubiquitous Tom Hanks, the actor who you can never forget is Tom Hanks. Surpassed only by Meryl Streep in being overused in movies and perhaps by Kim Kardashian in the enough already category. Is that a soldier? No, it's Tom Hanks, an actor. Is that a patriot? No, it's Tom Hanks, an actor. He's just a little tool, Obama's fool.
“He’s just a little tool, Obama’s fool. “
Good one!
I remember when he was caught saying something positive about Bush II. Spielberg “spanked” him and told him to straighten up or the Hollyweird Establishment wouldn’t use him anymore.
So many of these freaks - Ron Howard (”Opie” gone wrong), Martin Scorsese, Spielberg etc, are left-wing subversives.

Is that a dance, or was he talking about the stock market?
When Stevie sang “Peace has come to Zimbabwe” back in 1980, that was about enough of that little fool for me.
Its nice to know who bought tickets on the Hindenburg.
“—many taking their fashion cue from Mrs. Obama, and going sleeveless.”
Did anyone else dress like a wookie with a boob belt?

Give them time... you will get there.

Except for one other place, armpits are about the ugliest part of the human body

What fresh greens from the garden? Those are mainly spring and early summer crops.
Matt Groening got his number pretty well in "The Simpsons Movie" as a spokes-tool for a government plot to blow up Springfield and all its citizens.
Talk about Superstition!!!!....

Fiddling while Rome burns.
Heck...I didn't even think about Ol Auntie Zenotoxica (or whoever she is) getting slipped in the side door. She might be close enough for a limo to bring her up. Of course they wouldn't have her at the front table...lol.
I would have to agree.

The evening began with chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta and salad in the Rose Garden, and then four kinds of pie: apple, peach, huckleberry and cherry. At the end of the dinner, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha presented the president with a cake, before the party moved indoors.
