Paul West paint the scene from the Obama's backyard bash in this pool report:
Shortly after 7 p.m., the president spoke for about 7 or 8 minutes. He thanked American servicemen and women for the job they do for the country, and paid special attention to the recent handover of security in Iraq's cities. "Because of what you did," he said, "a sovereign and united Iraq has taken control of its own destiny." Obama cautioned that there would be more violence ahead, which, he said, is why U.S. forces were still needed there, but he again made the point that Iraq "is in the hands of its own people."
Obama spoke, from a written text, at a podium set up on the State Floor balcony of the South Portico. His wife and daughters were at his side. Arrayed behind them were 21 servicemen and one woman, selected by their own branches of the Armed Forces and praised by the president as "heroes."
Obama took note of the special significance that July Fourth has for one member of his family, daughter Malia, who turned 11 today (and sported a bright American flag face-painting on her right cheek). Malia "is just thrilled that you are all here," her father said. "When she was young, I used to say that all these fireworks were for her. I'm not sure she buys that" any more. (The girls were on prominent display at the family-friendly event. At one point, the First Lady gently picked up Sasha's hand to encourage her to wave; after his remarks, Obama kissed the birthday girl on the head).
Obama compared his party to similar bashes in "backyards . . . all across America" and saluted what it means to be an American and the extraordinary effort it took to create the country 233 years ago. See the transcript.
As the Marine Band (which heralded Obama's arrival with a series of tunes, including Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever") cued up its medley of service anthems, a man in the crowd shouted, "You're the man, Mr. President." That brought a smile from Obama and a big round of applause and cheers from the audience.
After the Marine musicians marched off, Obama and the First Lady descended the steps and worked a rope line for almost 20 minutes, carefully skipping over your pool and ignoring shouted attempts at questions.
Faces spotted at random in the crowd included AG Eric Holder, White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, press secretary Robert Gibbs (gamboling with his son on the big West Wing play set), social secretary Desiree Rogers, Obama chums Martin Nesbitt and Dr. Eric Whitaker, and Mike Allen of Politico.
The All-American menu included hot dogs, hamburgers, watermelon, potato salad, corn on the cob, garden salad with walnuts and cheese, ice cream, lemonade, Coke and Pepsi products, Sam Adams Light and Stoudts American Pale Ale (with a big American flag on the label) from the Adamstown, PA microbrewery.
The USO show, which followed after your pool was escorted out, featured the Foo Fighters, Michelle Branch and Jimmy Fallon. That part of the evening was strictly closed press. However, the White House streamed live video of the show on the White House website.
So ZERO went to Camp David for one night? What a waste of resources.
Obamas return for White House BBQ, (after birthday party for daughter at Camp David)

PARTY ON!!!
What? No Wagyu beef? WTF!
Malia Obama, who this weekend will be the first member of this First Family to celebrate a birthday in the White House, even as several thousand descend on her lawn to watch fireworks on Saturday when she turns 11.
President Barack Obama revealed Thursday that the celebration started early, with an invasion of about 20 girls to the Camp David presidential retreat in the mountains of western Maryland.
Obama was scheduled to join his family Friday at Camp David, before the group returns to the White House on Saturday to host a South Lawn barbecue and fireworks-watching party for members of the military and their families, as well as White House staff members and their families.

“There are 24 double-X chromosomes up in Camp David as we speak,” he told The Associated Press. “It’s a little intimidating.”

July 4th garb- Mao-chelle's a$$ gets keep getting bigger and bigger.
correction; ‘keeps getting bigger and bigger’
REEKS of "setup".
I really think I would, if in the military and invited to stand behind Hussein, get some sort of ILLNESS...I couldn't stand to be in this PRETENDER's presence.
Would you at least give Michelle some credit? She’s the first First Lady to wear a sports bra attached to a pillow case in public.
Wonder if there will be cola wars over this? I once worked for Coke. I had gone to a fast food place for lunch and brought back my drink which was ice tea, but the logo on the cup was Pepsi. They wouldn't let me in the door with it.
LOL...had to take another look, yup you nailed it.
Was the TOTUS given the day off?
