WH mum talks guest list for Obama's birthday bash

First Lady Michelle Obama is hosting a 55th birthday celebration for President Obama at the White House Friday night before leaving for a two-week vacation in Martha’s Vineyard but is keeping tight-lipped about the guest list.

“The guest list includes a large number of family members and friends to mark the occasion,” the White House said in a brief statement about the party, which noted that the “private event’ would be paid for with the family’s personal funds.
