They are not alone when I arrived at the restaurant located in the Dupont Circle, Washington DC, is. At rows of tables, women-in-law attend Obama (Michelle Obama's mother), Marian Robinson, together with a close friend of the family. Among others, the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and Jocelyn Frye. The last two names is a domestic policy adviser to the president and first lady.

Obama deliberately chose the restaurant because of its commitment to organic foods (the whole process does not use chemicals). Restaurant Nora's claim as a pioneer of organic restaurants in the U.S.. Approximately 95 percent of the food was made and produced with natural materials.

They are also called as the first certified organic restaurant in the United States. The main menu mainstay restaurant, among others, the Amish Sauteed Veal Scalloppine and shichimi Crusted Tofu Hot Pot.

Media can not watch the live atmosphere to dinner to celebrate the birthday. The event was closed. Obama's family did not want their privacy disturbed.

Michelle Obama was born in the city of Chicago, Illinois, on January 17, 1964 with the full name of Michelle LaVaughn Robinson. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School was not able to celebrate her birthday yesterday. Therefore, Obama was scheduled to be in Massachusetts to campaign for Martha Coakley, who compete with Scott Brown in the election to replace late senator Senator Edward Kennedy.
