According to Politico the President's 50th birthday party celebration was a star studded event that saw, the Pres, First Lady and the rest of the VIP guests, dinner in the Rose Garden.
via Politico: The evening began with chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta and salad in the RoseGarden, and then four kinds of pie: apple, peach, huckleberry and cherry. At the end of the dinner, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha presented the president with a cake before the party moved indoors.
In the East Room, performers included R&B singer Ledisi, jazz musician Herbie Hancock and Wonder. The president encouraged everyone to dance — and they did. Lots of kids were on hand and they stole the show as they danced in the center of the East Room.
Celebrities at the party included Jay-Z, Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, basketball stars Charles Barkley and Grant Hill, comedian Chris Rock, actor Hill Harper and Oprah Winfrey’s best friend, Gayle King. (Last year, Obama celebrated his birthday with a small dinner with friends, including Winfrey, while his wife and kids were on vacation.)
