It was a family Fourth of July for Democrat Barack Obama as his wife, daughters, sister and other relatives helped him make an Independence Day play for this reliably conservative state.Obama paid tribute to a nation in which the son of a single mother could rise to such heights.
“I know that there is no other country out there where I could be standing before you as somebody who could potentially be president of the United States,” he said at a campaign-sponsored “family picnic” for hundreds of people — part rally, part birthday party for his oldest daughter, Malia, who turned 10 on Friday. “We are going to change the world.”Cheers greeted Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters everywhere. As they arrived to watch the Fourth of July parade, the crowd broke into a rendition of “Happy Birthday” for Malia.
Obama joked that he had to tell the birthday girl not to get caught up in all the fuss.
“All the fireworks and stuff are not just for her,” he said to laughs.
they are such a cute family!
i love your blog, keep up the great work.
Beautiful family-and Malia and Sasha look like my daughters!;)
Two beautiful girls. Natasha, looks like mom and Malia looks like dad..
If Obama’s presidency encourages other fathers, black and white, to be with their wives and children, and take responsibility in bringing up the children, he will have achieved enough as a first black president. He is leading an exemplary life.
His family is lovely and we wish them well.
I got to spend the 4th in Butte too, and got to shake Obama’s hand. The crowd was very excited and I am glad that his family had a good time.
I love his family..
I love little Sasha, she’s such a cutie.
I like Malia Obama i want to meet her
