HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA


Its the 50th birthday of Barack Obama, the president of the united states of america.A special Democrat Party fundraiser was organised for him in Chicago where Star Jennifer Hudson gave a special tribute to the president..the 29-year-old Oscar winning actress beamed with delight during the performance


The President seemed equally pleased at the tribute and came on stage, smiling widely as he greeted the crowd.
He then kissed Jennifer on the cheek and clasped her hands in thanks as he stood next to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his former chief of staff.

Also performing at the Aragon Ballroom, which costs $40,000 to rent, were jazz musician Herbie Hancock and trendy punk rock band OK GO.

Tickets for the fundraising dinner cost an astonishing $35,800 a person. Additional contributions of $50 gained entry to the concert with limited seating with $1,000 donors receiving 'premium' seats.
And those who were prepared to cough up $10,000, were given 'preferred' seating along with the chance to take a photograph with Obama.

The President, who was last night without his wife Michelle, is also hosting a more intimate gathering today for his birthday in the White House Rose Garden.
Many happy returns Mr President!!!
