Happy Birthday President Obama on August 4
by Carolyn Classen on Aug. 03, 2010, under Life, PoliticsTomorrow August 4 is President Barack Obama’s 49th birthday. He was born in my home state of Hawaii on August 4, 1961 (after Hawaii had attained statehood on August 21, 1959) at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children on Punahou Street in Honolulu. His white mother was from the state of Kansas and his black father was from the country of Kenya. His parents met at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (also my alma mater).
Organizing for America is hosting a birthday party (with cake) for the President at the Joel D. Valdez Main Library downtown, 9 to 11 a.m. tomorrow, at 101 N. Stone Avenue.
