Obama celebrates July 4: 'A great day in the Obama family'

As the nation celebrates America's 243rd birthday, the former first family is celebrating another: Malia Obama's 21st birthday.

President Obama tweeted Thursday morning to mark the family, and nation's, special day.

"Happy Fourth of July, everybody! This is always a great day in the Obama family: a chance to celebrate America—and Malia’s birthday, too. Hope all of you are able to get some time with friends, family, and fireworks," Obama tweeted.

Obama's eldest daughter spent eight birthdays in the White House, and was just 10 years old when her father was first elected to the presidency.

After interning for television studios, Malia Obama started college at Harvard University where she just finished up her second year.

1. Every time I see a family photo of the Obamas

I think to myself, what a beautiful family. We were so lucky to have them representing us for eight years. Happy Birthday, Malia!

2. Wish today just to mess with trump

Someone leaks to the press he might consider joining Biden as his VP. Take all attention away from his pr. Event with better news away from trump.

3. The picture makes me sad at what we have lost

When I see the awful Trump wanting the military parade to be about him I think about his 5 deferments, his two useless sons who have never served in the military, it must be a family tradition, his grandfather was kicked out of his own country for cowardice
and refusal to serve.
