Obama marks 49th birthday in Chicago
Alone on his 49th birthday, President Barack Obama fled the empty White House mansion and headed for a more-intimate celebration with longtime friends in his Chicago hometown, NTV.ru reported.
Obama has been living a bachelor’s life for the past several days with first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha visiting Spain and daughter Malia spending the month away at an undisclosed camp.
Mrs. Obama and Sasha phoned in their happy birthday wishes, followed by a lunchtime call from Malia.
More than one million people made a sign in President’s online birthday card.
