Obama Turns 50 On Thursday

In this Jan. 20, 2009, file photo, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama dance at the Western Inaugural Ball in Washington. Turning 50 is hard enough. But it's got to be even harder when you're president, because the whole world knows about it. "I feel real good about 5-0," he said. "I've gotten a little grayer since I took this job but otherwise, I feel pretty good." Obama added that Michelle has told him that she still thinks "I'm cute." Obama turns 50 on Thursday.
