Happy birthday, Mr. President

48 years ago today, in Honolulu, Hawaii (yes, Honolulu), Ann Dunham gave birth to a boy who would grow up to become the 44th President of the United States.

His is a not-so-classic American success story. And that story continues to inspire people of all races, age groups, and nationalities.

Happy birthday, Mr. President.

And thank you for the hope and inspiration.

And, with all due respect, please don't let us down.
