Earlier in the day, he had stopped by Ben\u2019s Chili Bowl for a half-smoke with Washington\u2019s mayor, Adrian Fenty, before taping an interview with George Stephanopoulos. He then returned to the hotel.<br><br><b>At 7:03 p.m., according to the pool report, the Obamas left the Hay-Adams and got into their motorcade for a short ride to the Lincoln Memorial. The family climbed the steps of the monument and at one point Mr. Obama seemed to pause in front of Lincoln\u2019s statue, the report said.</b><br><br>The family then ducked into the monument\u2019s underground exhibit and, after 25 minutes of touring, got back into their cars and went back to the hotel for the night.<br><br>Though Mr. Obama\u2019s presence in Washington has closed roads and blocked off parking spots, the visit did not appear to disturb the monument\u2019s operations.<br><br>Mr. Obama, who like Lincoln represented Illinois, has been drawing parallels between himself and the 16th president throughout the campaign, and even more so since elected. When he takes the oath of office in 10 days, he will re-enter Washington by the same route that Lincoln came to town for his inauguration in 1861, by train from Philadelphia. And he will take his oath on the same Bible that Lincoln used.<br><br>And it\u2019s clear that Mr. Obama was a fan of Doris Kearns Goodwin\u2019s account of Lincoln\u2019s election and the assembly of his cabinet, \u201cTeam of Rivals.\u201d He picked formal rivals as his running mate and secretary of state and has created a Cabinet that includes some idelological cross-currents.</i><br><br>This GESTURE is so VERY TOUCHING!!  ***tears***<br><br>I can imagine their thoughts as they <b>COMPLETED THAT \"ELECTION\" CIRCLE!</b><br><br>GOD BLESS THEM!   :&gt;)", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-10_23:28:49", "killed": false, "user_key": "GreenLadyHere", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "11 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 2, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5055011": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Damn pumas won't pay for Hillary.

Earlier in the day, he had stopped by Ben’s Chili Bowl for a half-smoke with Washington’s mayor, Adrian Fenty, before taping an interview with George Stephanopoulos. He then returned to the hotel.<br><br><b>At 7:03 p.m., according to the pool report, the Obamas left the Hay-Adams and got into their motorcade for a short ride to the Lincoln Memorial. The family climbed the steps of the monument and at one point Mr. Obama seemed to pause in front of Lincoln’s statue, the report said.</b><br><br>The family then ducked into the monument’s underground exhibit and, after 25 minutes of touring, got back into their cars and went back to the hotel for the night.<br><br>Though Mr. Obama’s presence in Washington has closed roads and blocked off parking spots, the visit did not appear to disturb the monument’s operations.<br><br>Mr. Obama, who like Lincoln represented Illinois, has been drawing parallels between himself and the 16th president throughout the campaign, and even more so since elected. When he takes the oath of office in 10 days, he will re-enter Washington by the same route that Lincoln came to town for his inauguration in 1861, by train from Philadelphia. And he will take his oath on the same Bible that Lincoln used.<br><br>And it’s clear that Mr. Obama was a fan of Doris Kearns Goodwin’s account of Lincoln’s election and the assembly of his cabinet, “Team of Rivals.” He picked formal rivals as his running mate and secretary of state and has created a Cabinet that includes some idelological cross-currents.</i><br><br>This GESTURE is so VERY TOUCHING!!  ***tears***<br><br>I can imagine their thoughts as they <b>COMPLETED THAT "ELECTION" CIRCLE!</b><br><br>GOD BLESS THEM!   :&gt;)</div>\

They call it the "school of last resort." I hate that term!<br><br>I took a stack of various magazine, supplies of glue, poster boards, crayons, pens, notepads and markers.We made dream collages.<br><br>We began the activity with 30 minutes of quiet reflection.  I asked them what they wanted to create in their lives for the new year.  What are their goals, wishes,desires.  write them down.  They were asked not to place any limitatons as to what they wanted, just let it flow.<br><br>Then I asked them to pick  and cut out magazine images and written captions that spoke to them and place them on the poster board.<br><br>It\'s enery to note the shift in energy of the room as they began the activity.  There was total silence, as they scanned the magazines, cut, glued, drew, wrote, and dreamed!<br><br>The girls were excited about the project , and when they were through, they couldn\'t wait to share it with each other.  They had such pride and I sensed the sacredness of the moment.<br><br>One girl\'s collage had a picture of a nuclear family standing in front of the family car in a nice clean, green neighborhood.  Off to the side of the family was a picture of a black girl in a graduation cap and gown.<br><br>Another girl had a picture of Stanford College, Harvard, and Spelman.  On the bottom she had a picture of a shiney black BMW!  In the middle of the poster she had books of every genre.<br><br>And another had picture of a black women in a suit sitting behind desk; and there were pics of airline travel and destinations afar.  They all were given the opportunity to talk about their goals and dreams.<br><br>It was important for them to give voice to them too.  We all said we\'d hold the vision of the dreams with each other and we discussed why it is impotant to be careful with whom we share our dreams.  I thnk this is a wonderful way to serve our youth.  It cost pennies, and it is priceless when it comes to helping our Black youth to dream big and manifest the life they want and deserve.<br><br>Thanks for letting me share.</div>\
