Tipsters: Inside Barack Obama's 47th Birthday

Today: A rare east coast party report...must be politics

Exclusive photos and items sent in by two special tipsters inside Barack Obama's birthday party in Boston last night. (Mon 4 Aug). Candy (Dana Hall '65, Mt. Vernon '69) and Stanley Glazer (Granby High - VA '63, Medical College Virginia '68) filed this cross continental party report.

"We had a truly unique experience....we also caught up with a friend of ours, Eric Lesser, who sits behind Obama on the plane and is responsible for making certain Obama has his speeches in hand before every event."

Harry Connick Jr. (Jesuit H.S. '85 - New Orleans) sang a "Happy Birthday" duet with his daughter Sara.

On this night, Obama had only cake in his hand. He told assembled friends hadn't been back in the State Room at Faneuil Hall since the night he lost to Hillary in New Hampshire back in January.
