President Barack Obama Celebrates Birthday Today

It'll be a lonely birthday for President Barack Obama as his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, are away on different trips. Especially with no Marilyn Monroe to jump out of a cake for him.The First Lady and Sasha are in Spain's luxurious Marbella and Malia is at summer camp.

President Obama will still have to adhere to a schedule on his birthday. Duty calls. He is traveling to his home in Chicago where he will visit a Ford car factory. Sources say he plans to later have dinner with close friends as well.

Age doesn't seem to be taking too much of a toll on Obama. He admits to having more gray hairs and a slower metabolism.


Maybe he will settle to give ol' Monica a call.

"Since leaving office, President Bush has granted no one-on-one television interviews about his presidency," NBC noted in a news release.
