OBAMA: You know, I feel real good about 5-0. The — obviously, I’ve gotten a little grayer since I took this job but otherwise, I feel pretty good. And Michelle, you know, says that, you know, she — she — she still thinks I’m, I’m cute, you know. And I guess that’s — that’s all that matters, isn’t it?
NPR: Well, do you want anything special that we should pass along?
OBAMA: Well…
NPR: Anything special for the big birthday?
OBAMA: You know, what I really want right now is to — to get a debt-ceiling deal for my birthday. That’s kind of sad, I know.
