Happy Birthday Mr. President

Perhaps it doesn't rise to the level of Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President"


but it looks like Pres Obama's birthday celebrations a couple weeks ago were swinging.

Fox New reported that "President Barack Obama kicked off his birthday weekend Saturday with a round of golf with friends and a getaway to Camp David.

Three foursomes made up the party, including FOBs from Hawaii, Chicago and Washington.


Hasan Chandoo - a roommate at Occidental College with whom Obama was very close

Bobby Titcomb - close friend and John from Hawaii




Wahid Hamid - Another Pakistani buddy from Occidental who now is a financier for a company that arranges deals between the U.S. government and oil sheiks. I'm sure global business expansion is a lot easier when the Leader of the Free World is an old college buddy who you went hitching around Karachi with back in the day...


Gets you on cool boards too, like the Defense Business Board (who knew there even was such a thing? Wahid Hamid Bio - Defense Business Board
Wahid Hamid Wahid Hamid was most recently Senior Vice President Corporate Strategy and Development at PepsiCo, Inc., the largest US-based Food and Beverage Company ...


Reggie Love - world famous former Obama "body man" "who is very famous because he's young and good looking




and who apparently played "like 15 games of spades" with the Commander-in-Chief while SEAL Team 6 executed its now famous secret raid on Osama bin Laden. Yeah, watching the finest representatives of the greatest Military in the history of the world execute an impossibly difficult and dangerous mission to kill the most wanted man in the world is a lot less exciting than playing cards with the boyz.


Reggie is apparently a lot more fun to spend time with too....







Marvin Nicholson - "Body Man" for both BHO and John Kerry whose qualifications exceed even those of Reggie: windsurf shop clerk and golf caddie.


Sam Kass -  "the heartthrob behind the first lady’s White House garden and “Let’s Move” initiative who just landed at No. 3 on the Hill’s “Most Beautiful” list"
who, it has been recently revealed, is dating Alex Wagner of MSNBC.


Laurent Delanney - another college chum who was among the "influential people in Obama’s life at that time, including Obama’s friends and fellow-organizers Hasan Chandoo and Caroline Boss, his friends Wahid Hamid and Laurent Delanney, and two activists, Earl Chew and Sara-Etta Harris"
Wahid Hamid and Barack Obama are seated at left. Hasan Chandoo is seated and Caroline Boss is standing at center. Sara-Etta Harris is standing at right. Laurent Delanney is in the white T-shirt, lower right.

Greg Orme - "For most of their high school years, Orme and Obama lived and loved basketball." Wonder if Greg was part of the Choom gang too..."But Orme is a hard man to find. "Greg? He's kind of in and out. He's off the grid,"

Marty Nesbit - Chicago financier and long-time crony of Obama at "the nexus of the public and private sectors," who made his money building parking garages (isn't Jimmy Hoffa in parking garages in the Meadowlands, NJ?)

Mike Ramos - another high school buddy (choom-ganger?), bundler, who has "been a guest at every one of the president’s Hawaiian vacations, and personally travelling with the president on several of his campaign trips"












"The first lady was said to be traveling separately." Of course.
