Barack Obama celebrated his 57th birthday with love from some of the closest people in his life.

On Saturday, the 44th U.S. president received birthday wishes from former first lady Michelle Obama, his wife of 25 years, and former Vice President Joe Biden, both of whom shared praise for Mr. Obama on Twitter.

“Happy birthday @BarackObama!” Mrs. Obama, 54, wrote, captioning a photo of her husband overlooking a scenic landscape. “The view is always better with you.”

Biden, 75, posted a selfie he took with Mr. Obama on Monday, when the two stepped out together in Washington, D.C. to grab a bite to eat at Dog Tag Bakery in the Georgetown neighborhood.

“Our lunches together were a highlight of every week at the White House. Last week’s trip to @DogTagBakery was no different,” Biden captioned the image. “Happy birthday to my brother, my friend, @BarackObama.”

Mrs. Obama and Biden weren’t the only ones honoring Mr. Obama. Illinois marked the day as the first annual Barack Obama Day, a holiday signed into law last year by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The day is “set apart to honor the 44th President of the United States of America who began his career serving the People of Illinois in both the Illinois State Senate and the United States Senate, and dedicated his life to protecting the rights of Americans and building bridges across communities,” NBC News reported.

“#ObamaDay also became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter, with users coopting the hashtag to honor him.

“Happy #ObamaDay,” wrote John Legend, who has been on vacation with wife Chrissy Teigen and their two children in Bali. “We in Indonesia (where he lived for a few years) toasting our President.”

Mr. Obama got an early start on the celebrations by dancing with his wife at Beyoncé and JAY-Z‘s On the Run II tour stop in Landover, Maryland, last week.

Katie Hill, a spokeswoman for the former president, told USA Today he will celebrate his birthday on Saturday night with a family dinner in Washington.

My brother, I 've got nothing on Obama, he is an intellectual, kind, he is a kinda political correctness person, in governing, he made lots & lots of poor judgments, between Trump and Obama: Trump is way, way better, a lot better. for me, Obama was more deceitful.

still just 57 after leaving office while one vegetable is prepared to die in Aso rock at the age of 84....claiming to be in his early 70s...

How do you know that ?. Are you an American?. Let this American put it simply to you. He's the best American president of recent generation according to the poll while the racist Trump is the worst. How come Obama's approval rating is still sky high while the 72 year old demented racist is polling 41%. Your opinion only counts on Nairaland because yoh don't know anything about America.

The racist pig who hates people of your color is your hero. I wish you know how much hatred Americans of all color including yours truly have for the pig. The bottom line is that we have a midterm elections coming up on November 6 and yours truly and millions of Americans will take our pound of flesh from the Republikkkan Party and the 72 year old demented pig.

Bro you watch CNN alot and a lot of the main stream media,
Barack Obama had an approval rating of 45% on August 2, 2010.

@realDonaldTrump is now 5 points ahead of Barack Obama at a similar point in his presidency. (That is 50%, get that, 50%!!)

And this is while 90% of network media coverage has been negative of President Trump.

obama best? blacks were more divided, killed, during his time than now, best my foot.

Trump is the best president America ever had since the 19th century. #MAGA

You don't know a damn thing about the garbage you posted. stick to your Betnaija and worry about the happenings in Nigeria. Who the hell you think you are telling your peppersoup joint tales to. There's a reason Obama won overwhelmingly twice both with popular votes and electoral votes. If Trump doesn't like me who grew up in Chicago and millions of Americans like me because of his hatred towards Black people , what makes you think the racist love you in a country he called a Shiiithole with his own mouth. Like I said, go back to your BETNAIJA.
