At the behest of Faye Penny, the owners of Champions Barbershop in Portland - Jamaal Lane and Art Williams - decided to host a birthday party for President Barack Obama today. Watch a video of the people at Champions talking about what Obama means to them and how much a haircut would cost if you were the Commander-in-Chief. The video can be accessed on The Skanner's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvBqlh9Lz-4.
Penny provided cake, a placard of Obama's photos and a copy of his legal birth certificate from the state of Hawaii.
