The way I figure it August 4th will eventually become a National Holiday either in celebration of our 44th President or because I will become so famous and influential I'll deserve my own holiday. The first scenario is by far the most likely.
Every year on our birthday I sent greetings to Barack via Twitter. To my great disappointment, he has yet to reciprocate. This year I included a link to the Beatles birthday song. I decided I needed to up my game if I wanted to stand out from the tens of millions of other Happy Birthday tweets he probably gets.
Was anyone famous born on your birthday?
PS, I used a photo of Jeff's car because I didn't really mention him in the post and didn't want him to feel completely left out.

@FourWalls I'll have to try and find that recording online. I hope it's out there.

Not only was it Obama & Jeff Gordon's birthday on August 4th, it was also NASCAR Driver Kurt Busch's & Princess Megan Markle (who married Prince Harry)'s birthday.
I do share a birthday with Thomas Jefferson,, April 13th.

I know there is people that share my birthday but have never searched who. I just remember the news sometimes naming a couple of them. You have good ones to share it with. Happy Birthday.

I was once a big NASCAR fan but my interest has waned over the years since we lost Dale Earnhardt. That's how I found out Jeff Gordon and I share the day.
And, of course, with all the nonsense about Obama's place of birth, I couldn't help but notice he and I were born on the exact same day.

@wolfgirl569 It seems that today's drivers are all staged pretty boys compared to the rough-and-tumble guys of the past. And NASCAR has abandoned a lot of the fun and challenging tracks in the south for the big flat Milquetoast tracks in the north and west.
