How Barack Obama wants you to celebrate his birthday

And according to Michelle Obama, President Barack Obama who turned 56 on Friday, has some suggestions on how you can celebrate his birthday.

In a statement, the former first lady said that instead of signing a virtual birthday card, she was inviting people to share how they are “stepping up to be a better citizen” within their own communities this year.

“Maybe that means attending a town or city council meeting. Maybe it means contacting one of your elected officials and speaking out about an issue that matters to you. Maybe it means helping to clean up a local park, volunteering at a soup kitchen, or tutoring in an after-school program,” she said in an Obama Foundation email.

“This work — these personal, local, daily acts of citizenship — is what the Obama Foundation is all about,” she continued. “This work is what my husband is all about.”
