Happy 4th July: here’s a slideshow of US presidents stuffing their faces
IT’S INDEPENDENCE DAY in America, and the country will gather around BBQs and cookouts to celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the winning of political freedom from Great Britain in 1776.
President Barack Obama will be hosting a picnic with military families and his administration staff and their families where there’s sure to be burgers and hot dogs a plenty.
