It's Obama's birthday. Today the President of the USA turns 48. No specific Obama birthday plans were announced, though White House Press Secretary jokingly referenced a certain animatronic mouse:

Q There's no particular issue?

MR. GIBBS: No. No. And it's the President's birthday, and Chuck E. Cheese was booked.

Q I got it. (Laughter.)

The rest of Obama's schedule looks like meetings, meetings, meetings.

Born on August 4, 1961, President Barack Obama turns 48 today. He's a Leo.

Also celebrating birthdays today are Billy Bob Thornton and Lost 's Daniel Dae Kim.

He presented her with cupcakes, and said they had a common birthday wish, that for a "real health care reform bill."
