Michelle Obama Sends Her Bae Barack Obama a Sweet 60th Birthday Tribute

Family and friends of former president Barack Obama shared public tributes on social media Wednesday, wishing him a happy 60th birthday. 

The most notable of them all came from none other than the former first lady, Michelle Obama. She posted a photo of them and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, on Instagram with a heartfelt caption. 

“Of all the accomplishments, I know that being a present, loving father to our girls tops them all. Thank you for never letting the weight of the world get in the way of being a wonderful husband and father. Happy 60th birthday, @BarackObama! ”

She later posted a 2008 Ebony magazine cover of Barack getting out of a SUV in a suit and shades. She captioned the nostalgic photo with “Still turning my head after all these years. Love you, Barack .”

President Joe Biden joined the bandwagon with a tribute on Twitter. Along with a picture of them high-fiving, he wrote “Happy Birthday, @BarackObama. I’m proud to call you a brother and a friend — and I’m grateful for your selfless service to this nation.”

English broadcaster Piers Morgan shared a photo of him and Barack on Instagram. He captioned the post: “Happy 60th Birthday @barackobama – hard to believe you’re only 4 years older than me, but I guess you must have a better surgeon.”

The posts are just the beginning of the birthday excitement for Barack. He and Michelle are hosting a party this weekend at their estate in Martha’s Vineyard. As previously reported, the Obamas recently scaled back the event after concern about the spread of COVID-19. 

While the couple originally intended for a party of 475 guests, the gathering is now limited to family and close friends.
