WASHINGTON--President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday Thursday night with a celebrity-filled bash, as entertainer Chris Rock reported on his Twitter feed: "Just left the Presidents birthday party at the White House. Herbie Hancock played, Stevie Wonder sang and yes they did the electric slide. A great night."

Daughter Malia, 13 just arrived home from summer camp in time for the Rose Garden party as she was joined by her sister, Sasha, 10, First Lady Michelle, grandmother Marian Robinson and their godmother, Eleanor "Mama Kaye, Wilson," who flew to Washington from Chicago on Air Force One with Obama when he returned from his Thursday fund-raiser back home.

This reminds me of a tale I read when I was young. "The Masque of the Red Death" was written by Edgar Allen Poe.

As I remember it, the ruler, nobles and elites had sequestered themselves in the palace because of a highly infectious plague rampant in the country.

They were dancing and orgying and congratulating themselves at a masked ball in one of the palace's great rooms. They felt themselves immune from the sufferings and deaths of the peasants in fly-over country.

They were totally enjoying themselves till at midnight, a masked and grotesquely costumed reveler amongst them revealed himself..... a hideous skulled creature who, of course, was the plague itself.

The nobility and elites swooned with cries of fear as they knew they would now die themselves.

Draw whatever analogies you may to the opulent birthday party for the Prince of Thieves, his corrupt nobles, the elites and the hired court jesters held the other night in Chicago's Aragon Ballroom.

I have always thought that if those on the conservative side, the socalled rich would use their buying power they just may be able to exert their influnce more. Screaming rage on sites like FR here may get notice by those on the left that try to gage the outrage from their actions but I think they serve more as a release than actually getting the lefts attention.

Anyone think that obams crowd browes this site for info?

I guess that you have not received the hate FReepmails from these leftists like some of us have... there is no doubt that they hate us and read us.

But he sang "I Was Made To Love Her." That covers a lot of mistakes.
