One day after the government is set to default on its debts, Barack Obama could be the guest of honor at a 50th birthday celebration where the cost of attendance tops out at $35,800 per couple.

Okay, it's not likely if the government defaults that the president will be partying it up.

But the timing of Obama's Aug. 3 birthday bash is raising some eyebrows.

The White House said earlier this week the president's Aug. 3 party could be canceled if a deal is not reached by Aug. 2. As of now, however, the event is "not on hold," ...

How is it a birthday bash when you are charging people to be there?

“Okay, it’s not likely if the government defaults that the president will be partying it up. “

Are you kidding?! If the US defaults, Obama will be partying extra hard.

Now we know why Hussein wanted the deadline. It’s all about HIM.

Heck, if he could use his own mother’s death AND LIE ABOUT IT to sell Obamacare, he’s capable of much worse.

You only turn 50 once, hopefully your term as POTUS will only be once too. Then maybe we can get some answers.

If there's no agreement, will he skip the party and go back to work for the American people?

$35,000 per couple. Oh, yes, the Democrat Party, the party of the common man. I know my wife and I often spend $35,000 to attend a party/fund raiser. Who doesn’t?

It sounds liea planned victory celebration to me. He plans to celebrate the Republicans cave with a huge party that rakes in buckets of cash at the same time. For a Democrat it’s the perfect evening!

I thought that all good muslims were supposed to fast during Ramadan.

That’s only during daylight hours. Someone pretending to not be a Muslim (for the purpose of deception in order to further the cause of Islam) don’t have to fast at all.

Muslims have altered definitions of a lot of these things. I knew a bunch of Iranians who decided to go on a “hunger strike” in protest of the Shah back in the ‘70’s, and they only struck during the day, and only for the three days before US Thanksgiving. Dumbest thing I ever saw.

It’s not a birthday party, it’s a feast at the beginning of Ramadan.

Omoslem celebrated Ramadan 2010 by taking the entire monthlong “holiday” off.

That’s more than the vast majority of people even make all year in my town! (I think the median is 26 or 28K).
