Obamas Plan Two Parties: Malia Turns 12 on July 4
This year's family celebration is similar to the way the Obamas spent the Fourth in 2009. The president traveled to Camp David to meet up with his family, and then returned from the Maryland presidential retreat for a barbecue on the South Lawn. But last year, the First Family left for Moscow right after the July 4th festivities.On July 4, 2008, the Obama family was on the campaign trail in Montana, pointing toward the November presidential election. The previous year on Independence Day, the Obamas were campaigning in Iowa, traveling around the state in an RV, making a series of stops and capping it off with an Iowa Cubs Triple A baseball game in Des Moines.
