Malia Obama made waves last year when she was spotted on stage at the same Chicago event.

The former first daughter is set to begin her college career at Harvard University this September.

GOP trolls Obama on his birthday — with tweet about Trump’s …

Barack Obama turned 56 years old Friday -- and the former president received lots of birthday greetings from Democrats, celebrities and other supporters.

But how did the Republican Party mark the occasion?

The GOP decided to troll Obama, using job figures from the first six months of the Trump administration.

1 million new jobs in 6 months. 209k new jobs in July. Unemployment rate at 16 yr low. Thanks, @POTUS!, the GOP tweeted.

Instead of showing video of President Trump gloating about the strong job numbers, however, the GOP showed footage of Obama, in June 2016, trying to convince a crowd that big job gains just wouldnt be possible under Trump.

Interspersed between Obamas remarks is a clip from a cable news networks report about Taiwanese tech firm Foxconns recently announced plans to build a $10 billion plant in Wisconsin a deal that could bring as many as 3,000 jobs to the U.S., as Fox News reported.

Not mentioned in the tweet or its video is another deal, which was announced on Obamas birthday: Plans by Toyota and Mazda to jointly open a $1.6 billion plant in the U.S. that could bring as many as 4,000 new jobs to the States, as Fox News reported.

But Trump himself touted that deal in a Friday tweet.

Of course, trolling on Twitter is a two-way street. For example, just two days earlier, the Democratic National Committee's communications team jabbed at Republicans about the ball used at the annual DNC-RNC softball game.

The Dems noted that the ball, stamped with Trumps name, was made in China.

These Donald Trump Tweets About Barack Obama’s Vacations Didn …

Throughout former President Barack Obamas time in office, then-reality TV star Donald Trump often mocked him for taking vacations. But now, Trump is set to head out on one of his own.

On Friday, hell head to his New Jersey golf course for a 17-day trip, according to The Associated Press.This comes on top of the many other weekends hes spent either there or at his Florida resort. In fact, hes already outpaced Obama in time spent on the green.

Trump lamented multiple times that Obamas trips were costing taxpayers big time. But a recent analysisby the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch found that eight years of Obama vacations cost just under $100 million. According to CNN,Trumps trips during his first 80 days alone have cost $20 million.

I would rarely leave the White House because theres so much work to be done, Trump said last yearduring his presidential campaign. I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.

The president, like his predecessors, has the right to take a vacation.But the trip has put his past criticism of Obama in a new light. Here are some comments that have not aged well (including a bonus birther reference!):

Obama Birthday: Bill Clinton Wishes Barack Obama a Balloon …

Bill Clintons birthday message to President Obama Hope you get some balloons. I love a good balloon reads like a missive from a David Lynch movie if you missed the Bill Clinton balloon meme of one year ago.

Yes, it was almost exactly a year ago that Clinton joined his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, onstage at the Democratic National Convention as she was named the partys presidential nominee and took obvious delight at the many balloons floating down to the stage.

Of course, Donald Trumps election popped the balloon of everyone at the convention hall but thats no reason Bill Clinton cant wish Obama a happy 56th birthday.

A confession? Im one of the people who initially had no idea why Bill Clinton was talking about balloons, until I was educated by more meme-savvy folks.

Bill Clinton and Obama have had their differences in the past, notably when Obama wrenched the Democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton in 2008 but it was delightful to think that perhaps at some point the two former presidents met in the Oval Office, struggled for topics of conversation, and settled on their shared childhood love of balloons. Or why the hell not their adult love of balloons. Let them like what they like.

But no, it seems like Bill Clinton was simply referencing the thing for which hes most beloved: the short-lived balloon meme of Summer 2016.

Its a fair bet that many others on Twitter also had no idea what Clinton was talking about, given the number of Bible verses inexplicably posted in response to the balloon tweet. Why not meet one non sequitur with another?

Happy Birthday, President Obama. Hope you get a balloon, or something you actually want.

While Kathy Griffin and NYC's Public Theater have been called out for imagining violent attacks on Donald Trump, conservative pundits and others made similar statements about Barack Obama and other Democrats during his presidency.

Glenn Beck

In a 2009 Fox News broadcast, the conservative pundit joked about poisoning then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. During the bizarre skit, one of Beck's helpers attempted to sip a glass of red wine while wearing a mask of Pelosi's face. Beck then informs "Pelosi" that he slipped poison into her drink.

Shannon Richardson

Actress Shannon Richardson, who has appeared in "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Walking Dead," was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2014 for attempting to poison Barack Obama. According to CNN, Richardson mailed ricin-laced letters to Obama and several other politicians, because she was displeased with their stances on gun control.

Scott Stapp

Thelead singer of Creed got himself in trouble in 2014 months after his release from a mental facility. According to 911 tapes obtained by TMZ, Stapp's then-wife told police that the rocker was in the middle of a psychotic episode and had threatened to kill President Obama. "He thinks they're trying to kill him, and he has a bunch of paperwork in his backpack that he's a CIA agent and he's supposed to assassinate Obama," she said. Stapp's episode later prompted a Secret Service investigation.

Joe Walsh

The former Illinois Congressman believed Barack Obama was responsible for the July 2016 shooting deaths of several Dallas police officers. He took to Twitter with a veiled threat on the then-president: "This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you."

Donald Trump

At a North Carolina rally in August 2016, Trump suggested that his gun-toting supporters could prevent Hillary Clinton from taking office if they exercised their 2nd Amendment rights. He said, "[If Hillary Clinton] gets to pick...her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."

In Final Days, Obama Admin Pushed Several Hundred Thousand …

A spokesman for the EPA confirmed to Breitbart News the more than $300,000 price tag $211,111 for the Smithsonian Institution to create the materials shown in the museum and $134,000 to renovate the space. (The Smithsonian Institution is taxpayer-funded.)

The content of the climate change exhibit, which opened to the public just days after Obama left office, was produced by the EPA Alumni Association, which compiled and presented it in a timeline-fashion, detailing the milestones of the regulatory agency since it was founded in 1970.

Called a pet project of Obama EPA administrator Gina McCarthy in an article about the museum the Washington Post published on Sunday, the museum is tucked into the lobby of the EPA Credit Union in the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center.

The museum does contain facts about the EPA, including that it was established by Republican President Richard Nixon and documentsthat the agency has put into place countless regulations affecting all aspects of American life, ranging from the cars we drive to how we heat and cool our homes.

But the museum also clearly embodies the ideology of Obama and his EPA, which was responsible for some of the most restrictive regulations a number of which have now been overturned by President Donald Trump.

The exhibit pays homage to Obamas signing the United States onto the Paris climate accord, which has since been undone by Trump.

The Clean Power Plan Obamas signature energy policy effort to regulate carbon emissions from American power plants was also scrapped when Trump signed an executive order in March.

There is no question that parts of the museum reflect an Obama administration-centric narrative, the Post reported. It includes a panel dedicated to the 2009 endangerment finding, in which then-EPA administrator Lisa Jackson concluded that the agency was legally obligated to control greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change because theythreatened public health.

Here are some of the other items on display in the museum:

Ironically, it was a career EPA employee who brought the museum to the attention of the Trump administration, according to the Post.

I wanted to make sure that they knew it existed, said Nancy Grantham, a career public affairs employee at EPA, who has toured the exhibit with at least one Trump official. Thats just how I operate. I dont like to be surprised, and I assume others dont like to be, either.

Grantham acknowledged that the climate panels probably will be altered and possibly shelved, although she stressed that no final decisions had been made, the Post reported.

It should be no surprise that there may be changes, Grantham said.

There is at least one omission in the current exhibition:

The Post reported:

Every past EPA administrator is mentioned in the museum, with one exception: Anne Gorsuch,mother of Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, whose short and tumultuous tenure as President Ronald Reagans first EPA administrator was marked by sharp budget cuts, rifts with career EPA employees and a scandal over the mismanagement of the Superfund cleanup program.

And there is one small sign literally that has been placed near the entrance of the museum that shows a picture of Trump and EPA administrator Scott Pruitt.

In the meantime, to make sure the current administration is represented, EPA officials have installed a large poster board in the museum, highlighting the agencys new back to basics agenda, according to the Post. It features a picture of Pruitt shaking hands with coal miners at a Pennsylvania mine and promises sensible regulations for economic growth.
