Happy Birthday

Guess what today is?!

BARACK OBAMA'S BIRTHDAY!

Today, August 4th, the first African American president and the youngest president turns 48 years old.

The president turned 48 today, but he brought cupcakes for a White House correspondent who happens to share the same birthday.

Obama stopped into the briefing room, unannounced, with a plate of cupcakes for veteran D.C. journo Helen Thomas, who turns 89 today.

He then led the room of reporters in a chorus of "Happy Birthday" and posed for a photo with Helen.

Although he didn't answer any questions about his own birthday, he seemed to hint at what he'll wish for when he blows out his candles.
