The anticipation is building as President Barack Obama awaits his 51st birthday on Saturday.

President Obama said that his wife Michelle credits him for looking a bit younger.

"Michelle says I look 50," the president told a crowd at Rollins College in Orlando.

The Orlando crowed sweetly proceeded to sing Happy Birthday to the President.

"If I had known you guys were going to sing, we would have brought out a cake," the president said.

If a cake was presented to him, President Obama said he would wish for 29 electoral votes in Florida this November.

"Which in Florida, wouldn't be a bad wish," he said.

The president made the Florida visit on the same-day Mitt Romney’s campaign released an ad calling President Obama a “disappointment.”

The White House has no public birthday plans for the president scheduled on Saturday. However, President Obama’s campaign does have a celebration scheduled in Chicago on August 12th.
