On his 50th birthday, President Obama seems to have a lot to be grateful for. After a long debate, the debt ceiling increase was finally passed, narrowly averting a government financial default.

He enjoyed some pre-birthday celebrations at a $35,000 per person dinner/fundraiser and topped off the night at a star studded concert birthday concert starring Jennifer Hudson, Herbie Hancock and celebrity supporters. Today, he plans to celebrate this milestone birthday with close family and friends at the White House.
