| Description | Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama celebrated the Fourth of July with his family in Montana.
Cheers greeted Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters as they arrived to watch the town parade. The crowd also broke into song, singing a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Obama's oldest daughter, Malia, who turned 10 on Friday.
Obama joked that he told the birthday girl not to get caught up in all the fuss.
"All the fireworks and stuff are not just for her," he said to laughs.
After the parade, the Obamas were hosting a "family picnic" for hundreds of people — part campaign rally, part birthday party for Malia.
They also were to spend part of the afternoon sitting for interviews with such family friendly magazines as People, Essence and Parenting. Aides were seen carting Hula Hoops, coloring books and whiffle balls so the girls could be photographed while playing. |
