Happy birthday, Mr. President. Today is President Barack Obama's birthday. He is 53 years old today.
Mr. Obama opened his birthday weekend on Saturday with a round of golf with friends before escaping to the Maryland mountains. He played an early morning round of Golf at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, where the clouds threatening rain held off long enough for the president to get in 18 holes.
Rounding out his foursome were presidential pals Mike Ramos, Bobby Titcomb and Greg Orme, the White House said. All three are longtime friends dating back to Mr. Obama's childhood in Hawaii.
Although they teed off against eight other golfers, Obama and his team finished with the winning score, the White House said. In another birthday ritual, that victory earned Mr. Obama's three teammates a ride with the president aboard Marine One for the short flight to Camp David, the presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains.
Also aboard the president's helicopter: Mr. Obama's personal trainer Cornell McClellan. The other golfers, who weren't identified by the White House, were expected to travel to Camp David by car.
President Obama returned to the White House on Sunday afternoon.
