Bill Clinton Has a Little Fun in Birthday Tweet to Obama

The 42nd President wished the 44th President a Happy Birthday on Twitter—with a wink toward the First Lady.

“Happy birthday, @POTUS! Hopefully when @FLOTUS isn’t looking you can have some cake. #44turns54,” Bill Clinton wrote Tuesday on Twitter.

Obama turned 54 on Tuesday. Neither Obama nor First Lady Michelle Obama (@FLOTUS) had responded to Clinton’s birthday tweet as of early Tuesday afternoon.
