President Barack Obama sang 'Happy Birthday' to Malia during his last 4th of July celebration

U.S president Barack Obama wished his first daughter Malia a happy 18th birthday on Monday, 4th of July, the same day America celebrated its independence.

During his last Fourth of July celebration at the White House, President Barack Obama had a few shout outs to give.

He thanked the military and their families for their support and service. He thanked the night's performers, Kendrick Lamar and Janelle Monáe, for their commitment to important causes.

'It just so happens we celebrate our country's birthday (Independence), on the same day as my oldest daughter's birthday.

And he also had one last, big personal shout out to give: "And just because it's a job of a father to embarrass his daughters, I've got one last job," Obama said, before leading everyone in a big ol' rendition of "Happy Birthday" to his daughter, Malia.

Malia, after all, was turning 18 and just so happens to share a birthday with the nation's day of independence. Obama only has a few more months left in office and Malia will be taking a gap year before heading off to Harvard. So this is the last time that the president gets to serenade his eldest daughter in the with a full audience at the White House.
