Well, President-elect Barack Obama already gave Joe Biden the vice presidency. So, for his birthday, Obama gave Biden two ball caps and a rendition of the birthday song.
Biden's birthday is Thursday, but Obama surprised his No. 2 after their weekly lunch Wednesday at the transition office in Chicago. According to staff, Obama presented Biden _ a Delaware senator with decades of foreign policy experience _ with a dozen cupcakes decorated with candles and teased, "You're 12 years old!"
Staff reported that Biden, ever astute in the art of politics, laughed at the his boss's joke. He responded: "Maybe in dog years!"
Obama led the rest of the staff in song, then handed over some Chicago-themed gifts: a White Sox cap, a Bears cap and a bucket of Garrett's popcorn, a hometown favorite.

Imagine that, the President and Vice President doing nice things for each other and giving sentimental gifts to celebrate their birthday. I'm getting a real good vibe from these two.

Got to admit, Obama might be alright. This shows that he is on top of things believe it or not. He is a multitasker. And if he doesn't even forget the little stuff maybe he will stay on the big stuff also. We'll see.

Who doesn't like birthdays? Considering what's going on, that's very thoughtful - not to mention downright adorable.

Didn't Bush give Cheney GUANTANAMO for his birthday?

Ahhh, practicing the Exploding cupcake move. I see. LOL just kidding, he is the man.

I'm having a hard time adjusting to the humanness of this incoming administration. It seems so alien.

It is really nice to see an American tradition being displayed like this, by our elected leaders. It's a part of culture and tradition that shows good spirit.
