With His 48th Birthday, President Obama Racks Up 28-Billion Miles!

July 31, 2009 - PRLog -- (Washington)  When President Barack Obama celebrates his 48th birthday on August 4th, 2009, he will have traveled more than 28-billion-miles during his 48 trips around the sun.       

Each year, the earth travels approximately 523,416,000 miles as it orbits the sun.  Simple math shows that as President Obama completes his 48th trip around the nearest star, he will have traveled approximately 28,003,968,000 miles –  a distance equal to more than a million trips around the earth’s equator.
         
Those who want to calculate their own “total mileage around the sun” can struggle with pencil and paper or they can simply punch their age into the free “Miles around the Sun” calculator at
www.ObamaBirthday.com .       

The FREE "Miles around the Sun" calculator is based on the lyrics to the new birthday song, "Your Trip around the Sun" which can be heard at www.NewBirthdaySong.com .  

“Your Trip Around the Sun” first premiered in Washington for Hillary Clinton’s 50th birthday and was performed by The Local Girls vocal trio, the Ohio University string quartet, and the Ohio University choral group.

The new song provides adults with an alternative to the traditional “Happy Birthday to You” song and its lyrics offer a gentle environmental slant, reminding listeners that they are but a small  part of a larger world outside themselves.

Those who want to know more about The NEW Birthday Song, who want to hear long and short versions of the song, who want to watch its YouTube videos, who want to calculate their own mileage around the sun, or who want to purchase birthday gifts (mugs, shirts, or cards) customized with their family or friends’ mileage around the sun, may visit the official website at
