Fourth of July is a remarkable day in America. It is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, from Great Britain.

Malian Obama birthday is 4th of July, which coincidental falls on America's independence day.


Malia Obama, the eldest of President Barack Obama's two daughters, turned 13 on the Fourth of July.

As usual, she was sharing her parents with hundreds of others on her special day.

Obama and first lady Michelle Obama invited hundreds of troops and their families from across the country to attend a special barbecue and USO concert on the South Lawn. There they will have one of the best views of the annual fireworks show on the National Mall.

Malia's birthday has been a source of angst for the president, whose recent public comments on that milestone have ranged from fear of what lies ahead to acceptance that daddy's little girl is, well, growing up.

Obama recently told a television interviewer that Malia and her sister Sasha, 10, are kind, respectful, responsible and well-behaved.

"I could not ask for better kids," he said. "I'm not anticipating complete mayhem for the next four, five years. But I understand teenage-hood is complicated."

Still, Obama has sounded anxious about watching his girls grow into young adults.
