Obama Supporters Plans to Celebrate His 46th Birthday

Perhaps it was mainstream media's criticism of Senator Barack Obama that caused his supporters to start plans to celebrate his 46th birthday. It has been said that the Senator is too young and too inexperienced to lead the country as president. Some will point out that John F. Kennedy was 43 years old when he took office on January 20, 1961. Senator Obama served 8 years in the Illinois State Senate before becoming a US Senator 3 years ago. This lack of experience does not appear to deter his supporters.

A sampling of events being planned by Obama supporters to celebrate his 46th birthday include:

Joyce Fitzpatrick is hosting a breakfast at Holly's Restaurant in Grasonville, Maryland at 8AM with environmental community service starting at 9AM on August 4, 2007.

Patricia Kaufman of Wilmington, North Carolina is hosting a coffee klatch for friends and neighbors on the morning of August 4.

Adam Hoyer is gathering supporters to do some telephone or door-to-door campaigning in Davenport, Iowa for several afternoon and early evening hours.

Justin Charity is seeking volunteers to talk to voters from 11AM to 6PM at the opening of Decorah, Iowa's office which will feature food and music.

Robert Commiskey is inviting supporters to attend a birthday bash at Stag's Head Pub in Houston Texas.

David Sanders is hosting a birthday party at the Reno, Nevada Obama Campaign headquarters. The party is free to attend with the donation of $10.00 worth of non-perishable food to be given to Northern Nevada Food Bank. Those who attend the party are asked to come prepared to donate time or money in helping a local charity of their choice for an afternoon and evening of community activism.
