WASHINGTON- which give you the most powerful man in the world for its 50th anniversary? Michelle and the girls were probably a surprise in store. But for us, the President Barack Obama, the answer is clear.
He would like to see a fall of stubbornly high unemployment and a cut in the price of fuel at the pump at the time wherever he reached his half century on 4 August.
"A much lower rate of unemployment." And declining gas prices. Those who would be the perfect gift for my birthday, Obama said the magazine of the American Association of Retired People (AARP) with a laugh.
In spite of pumping enormous sums of money of stimulus in the economy since he took office in 2009, the rate of unemployment still hovers 9.0% as the largest economy in the world slowly recovers from the worst recession in decades.
And the price of gasoline have been crawling over high since 2008.
Obama said that he did not know yet how he planned celebrate his landmark birthday. Last year, he marked the occasion of a game of basketball with some of the players champion sport as LeBron James.
"Had a wonderful time." It will be hard to top that. "But I suspect that the girls may have something planned," he told the magazine of the Group major advocacy for the elderly.
And the President of the United States, whose hair is visibly more grey since his arrival at the Office, sometimes admitted feeling his age.
"The worst thing is, I don't feel I'm as fast as I used to be." "And I heal more slowly in the field of basketball", he said. Obama separates his lip in a match in November which needed 12 stitches to heal points.
"The wonderful thing is, I was able to maintain my health well enough. Also, I am old enough where I hope that I made enough mistakes, that I will not repeat. And I am still young enough that I can understand that wisdom.
AARP, advocating for older Americans, transmits requests for membership to the Americans that they reach the age of 50.
