Chris Rock shared that he had a wonderful time via Twitter. "Just left the President's birthday party at the White House. Herbie Hancock played, Stevie Wonder sang and yes, they did the electric slide. A great night."

Obama's daughters, Malia, 13, home from summer camp, and younger sister, Sasha, 10, joined the festivities along with First Lady Michelle.
