On Obamas birthday, remember that in 2014 he went to a local restaurant in Denver Colorado, to speak to local residents that had written letters to him.
One women, Alex, who worked at a furniture store, wrote Obama after his state of the union. She let him know that she was struggling financially but appreciated Obamas work. He read the letter and was touched, so he wanted to meet her.
“We’re going to have some pizza and talk,” he said, as he sat at the table.
He then spoke to Alex and multiple others about issues ranging from raising minimum wage to college fees and affordability.
After that, to the dismay of the secret service, he broke from the schedule and simply walked down the street, shaking hands and meeting people.
This was a man of the people. A real American. He cared.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.
