Katie Couric's Notebook: Obama's Birthday

Today 44 turns 49.

President Obama is celebrating his birthday in Chicago tonight...home alone.

The First Lady and Sasha are in Spain, and Malia's at summer camp. On those rare nights we parents are truly on our own, we may exhibit what Carrie Bradshaw calls "secret single behavior." A mud mask. A marathon of Top Chef. Maybe staring in the mirror to find new gray hairs.

And the president admits...he sees a lot more grays these days.

The job has aged him, as it did his predecessors. Dr. Michael Roizen at the Cleveland Clinic stated constant stress can age the Commander in Chief two years for every one year in office.

So I guess that means he's really turning 50.(continued)

"A mud mask. A marathon of Top Chef. Maybe staring in the mirror to find new gray hairs."

Is she trying to tell us something about The Won?

[digger48]

If actual time on the job is having an effect on his aging, he’ll be celebrating his 42nd birthday in 2012.

[pkmaine]

vacuous. truly.

[mbarker12474]

Was Larry Sinclair not there?

[PGR88]

“...And the president admits...he sees a lot more gays these days...”

So he’s finally out of the closet?

They pay ‘this’ $15,000,000 a year?

[Keith]

going gray only because his handicap has gone up.

Katie is such a flack.

[skeeter]

Just in case anyone was inclined to take this person seriously.

[Snickering Hound]

we may exhibit what Carrie Bradshaw calls "secret single behavior." A mud mask. A marathon of Top Chef. Maybe staring in the mirror to find new gray hairs.

Even Katie thinks you're gay.

[Batman11]

“A mud mask.”

Aha! I knew he was wearing a mud mask all along. He really is a 100% white guy!!

[Col Frank Slade]

Or you may throw a baseball like p**sy.

secret single behavior

My "secret single behavior" behavior starts tomorrow morning when I head up to Saratoga for a weekend of racing.

[getarope]

Great. Now I got Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” stuck in my head!

[Servant of the Cross]

He's removed all doubt ...

I feel pretty ....

[DManA]

Obama’s hair is never the same color twice. When they want him to look up beat and energetic it’s all black. When they want you to feel sorry for him, out comes the white.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Ah, but Rush makes more than TEN TIMES that amount on RADIO!! LOL

[ml/nj]

Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain”

She got it wrong though. The total eclipse was BEFORE Saratoga.

ML/NJ

[wetgundog]

He’s getting a “facial” at Man’s Country in Boystown.

[humblegunner]

Rush makes more than TEN TIMES that amount on RADIO!

So do sports tards who can't speak eight coherent words in a row.

Your point?

[wintertime]

Katie, honey,...How do you know if it is Obama’s birthday? Have you seen his long form birth certificate. Hm?
