Today is Senator Barack Obama's 47th birthday! On this date in 1961 the first African-American nominee for president was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.He's going to celebrate in Chicago and at a campaign event in Lansing, MI.
It's already been a great and history making year for him already, but hopefully he'll be getting a late birthday present three months from now.
Hopefully next year we'll get to sing it Marilyn Monroe style!
