#1 I think it's the medallions along the side, and lower tier of lettering that really make the cake something special....

#4 Too much people, I doubt Bambi or the 1st lady ordered this cake. Did we see past Presidential cakes? Probably equally hideous. Do like him but don't pee on his birthday cake, that aint right.

#5 I'd be afraid to even pee on that thing. It might bite.

#6 Was there some problem with a simple "Happy Birthday Barrack"? Did it really require the Presidential seal? Let alone the seals of all 4 armed services?

#7 All those seals of the armed forces along the bottom fo the cake, and not a damned bit of respect for any of them by the honoree.

#8 I couldn't give a crap, except that they released the photo for coverage.

#9 I wonder if it's a subtle diss from the White House kitchen staff? Cuz that is one ugly cake.

#10 Ummm, most people forget there are FIVE armed Services, they forget the Coast Guard and tend to lump it in with the Navy.

#11 Nah, there's five of them there. You can see the edges on the left and right.
Maybe there's three more on the other side. ACORN, SEIU and UAW...

#12 I did forget the Coasties, Jim. Sorry.

But he's President #44, and he's 48 years old. What kind of B-day cake references your "place in history"?

#13 Maybe he started counting [his age] backwards when he hit 46?

#14 44 is the age on his "COLB"...heh

#15 I thought 44 represented his latest approval rating.

#16 Why did they put Pelosi's IQ on Obama's birthday cake?
