Our commander-in-chief celebrates his birthday this Saturday, August 4.

Unlike most preparing for their special day, the President is also running a campaign.

With the Democratic National Convention in early September and the presidential election less than 100 days off, do you think our country’s leader should take some time off to smell the roses; all 51 years worth?

How do you think President Obama should celebrate his birthday?

Should he continue on the campaign trail? With the election quickly approaching would the time off be detrimental to the progress of his campaign?

Should he decide to just get away from it all? He could grab Michelle and head to a secluded island and get some much needed rest and relaxation.

Or would it be better to do something involving the entire family? He could stay home with Michelle and the girls and have an intimate birthday celebration at the white house.
