It may not be quite as sultry as when Marilyn Monroe famously sang to JFK, but it certainly wasn't bad. Oscar winner and "American Idol" alum Jennifer Hudson, alongside Herbie Hancock and the band OK Go, led a Chicago crowd in a round of "Happy Birthday" to celebrate President Barack Obama's big day.Obama, who turned 50, used celebration as an opportunity to raise money for his 2012 re-election campaign. Attendees paid anywhere from $50 to $35,800 to go to the event at Chicago's historic Aragon Ballroom.
For a little extra fun, watch Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, the current Mayor of Chicago, decline Hudson when she brings the microphone toward him.
Here's the video...

It amazes me that some people think the President shouldn't celebrate his birthday. I'm sure all of you celebrated your birth without thinking of welfare, Gitmo, unemployment, etc.
can the man just celebrate his birthday for 5 seconds!! sheeesh! you guys just want him to be in the office stuffed w/ papers & meetings every millisecond until he's not president .. can he just have the day he was born to have a little 5min. break??
