Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs

The President’s private 50th birthday bash, not listed on his public schedule:


His gift to the press corps was a travel/photo lid shortly after 4 p.m., prompting what pooler Julie Mason called “general cheering in WH workspace.”

An hour later, the party started…--… with dinner in the Rose Garden, accompanied by “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. Then the First Lady and his daughters presented POTUS with a cake, and everyone moved into the East Room for performances that included R&B singer Ledisi, and Herbie Hancock. Stevie Wonder came up at the end and sang a medley ending in “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” DJ Cassidy played Motown, hip hop, and ’70s and ’80s R&B.--The president asked everyone to dance -- and they did!--DINNER: BBQ chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta, salad.--DESSERT: apple, peach, huckleberry and cherry pies; chocolate cake.--GUESTS: Al Sharpton, Patrick Gaspard, UBS Investment Bank President Robert Wolf, FCC Chair Julius Genachowski, Leader Nancy and Paul Pelosi, Secretary Tim Geithner, Secretary Arne Duncan, U.S. Trade Rep.
