European Commission president José Manuel Barroso is celebrating his 69th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.
Popular politician José Manuel Barroso has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 69th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Barroso, a cultural icon
Born José Manuel Durão Barroso in Lisbon on March 23, 1956, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Portuguese history. Barroso's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little José Manuel hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for José Manuel Barroso as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 69.
Happy Birthday, José Manuel, you're the best!
