When I decided to run for president, I had significantly fewer gray hairs than I do today.
Michelle says I've earned them, which is the nicest possible way to say I'm getting older.
In fact, I'm turning 51 in a couple weeks, and to celebrate I'm heading home to Chicago for a get-together at my house.
You've already thrown your name in the hat to join me for my birthday -- thank you for your support.
If you make another donation of $X or whatever you can to support the campaign, you'll be automatically entered again for the chance to join me at home in Chicago -- flight and hotel covered for you and a guest of your choice.
 Because you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately:

Or donate another amount.  
Chicago is where I fell in love with my wife and where our daughters were born. It's where decades ago I first started as a community organizer and where, six years ago, I first talked with Michelle about the possibility of running for president.
I'm looking forward to spending a few hours celebrating there before it's all systems go for the final weeks of the election.
Should be fun.
Enter again today for another chance to join me and some friends at my house in Chicago, and I can thank you in person:
