It's not easy to enforce discipline on successful, wealthy, and famous people used to having their own way. But the White House apparently did not want to see photos of the first lady's glittery gala circulating around the Internet. So it imposed a strict rule: No cellphones. "Guests were told not to bring cellphones with them, and there was a cellphone check-in area for those who did," reported the Chicago Tribune. "Signs at the party told guests: No cellphones, no social media." People magazine added: "Guests had been greeted by a 'cell phone check' table where they deposited their camera phones on arrival and it was understood that this was not an occasion for Tweeting party photos or Facebooking details." The publications cited sources who insisted on anonymity for fear of White House reprisal.
"So great was the secrecy surrounding the party," the Tribune reported, "that guests were handed an invitation — on their way out, the sources said."
So far, the crackdown appears to have been a success. Although a few attendees have tweeted that they had a great time, or that they danced until their feet could take no more, the Web has not been filled with photos of the first lady's extravagant celebration. Perhaps some will appear; maybe the White House will even release an official photo. But it's unlikely the public will see much.

It will be a relief when this failed President is back in private life. Unfortunately, we then get a lifetime of the doddering imbecile on talk shows and Democrat conventions.
Aw, someone's upset because they don't have the chance now to critique Michelle's dress or hair or shoes or something!
If I was in the public eye constantly, I'd want at least my birthday party to be just that...MINE.
It must have been a good feeling and a welcomed relief for the Obamas knowing that this, at least was private.
I don't blame her one little bit. The way she has been trashed these last five or six years is unbelievable. I'm sure she hears some of it. You should all be ashamed.

No, you should be ashamed for refusing to hold King Obama accountable for anything he does or doesn't do. But the left doesn't know what shame is, so I won't hold my breath.
And now you are pissed because they're keeping the celebration private?

We want to see how our tax dollars are being spent and didn't the Queen just return from a 24 day, taxpayer paid Birthday present vacation to Hawaii?
You clowns would be apoplectic if any Republican President and his family were spending our tax dollars as these two do!
I KNOW .. Your next remark will be .. "Tax money, How do you know it's tax money being spent"?
Exactly

Sure, anything would be nice from the drones who refuse to assess anything he does critically. Baby steps.
