Michelle giving tours of the White House.
Oh well.
see the link above. If she doesn't get 50%...do they have a runoff?
Wow..look at the beaming faces in the crowd!
The White House is BLACK NOW!!!!
what you have encountered is what i see on wall st everyday as it is impossible to vote for Barack Obama for more than just race but when I got to work this morning I just stopped trying and listened all day to the worried millionaires scared at their taxes going from36% to 39.6% and socialism is back.
b.s. change is here and I am glad that I am a part of it and will work harder to see change happen for my kids.
I will make change that will resonate in others lives 10, 20 years from now.
God Bless us all and God Bless America
I am President Elect Barack Obama
On the LOVE: Back at-choo!! :>) :>)
I just got off the phone with my 20 year old son who said, "mom you're were talking about him 5 years ago and nobody I've told believes me." He said he understands why now. He asked how I knew he would be special. I told him I just did. I feel his spirit. He will bring out the best in all of us.
May God bless him.
We've. Got. A. Real. President!
Lawd, they smoked the stage, and Ride or Die Joe Biden and his missus were looking good, too!

How did your voting trip go - with "grandma?" :>) :>)
And the image of a black family in the most powerful house in the word will be impressive to see!!! God protect Barack Obama and his family.
John McCain is the third Vietnam war vet to run for president and lose.
Barack Obama, born in 1961, will likely be the last 'baby boomer' president and will be the first new president elected in the 21st century.
The Vietnam generation(s) failed to elect a president, but the Civil Rights generation(s) did.
But no matter. We're waking up to President-elect Barack HUSSEIN Obama so all is well. lol
My sincere, heartfelt hope is that O will find some qualified, diverse people, and that his administration will look like the country. I hope he has Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jewish & Arab-americans, women, everyone.
Suck on that Joe!
Man, today Nov 5th is my birthday! I will consider this my birthday present from America.
Brit Hume was sitting there with the long sad face and Uncle Juan Williams was sober and pretty much just "there."
LMAO
Have a Blessed Day!! :>)
(On CNN, she talked about her biracial kids and this moment in history. I always thought she was one of the best Hillary supporter who transitioned into supporting Obama smoothly and convincingly.)

Check out this Wikipedia:
Palpatine is a fictional character in George Lucas's science fiction saga Star Wars.[1] The character, portrayed by actor Ian McDiarmid in the feature films, is the true main antagonist of the saga; introduced in the original trilogy as the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, an aged, cowled and pale-faced figure, who rises to power in the prequel trilogy through deception and treachery as a middle-aged politician of the Republic. Secretly, Palpatine is Darth Sidious, a Dark Lord of the Sith who initiates and manipulates the Clone Wars to destroy the Jedi and usher in the totalitarian Galactic Empire.
Mentioned by Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), the Emperor was characterized as a cunning but weak politician under the control of powerful bureaucrats in Lucas's original scripts of Star Wars. However, in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the prequels, and Star Wars literature, the character is depicted as the personification of evil and heavy-handed authoritarianism. Palpatine was incorporated into the Star Wars merchandising campaigns that corresponded with the theatrical release of Return of the Jedi and the prequel films. The character has since become a symbol of evil and sinister deception in popular culture, particularly in the United States.

The spirit of our people... the tradition and legacy of our ancestors... Those are the people who deserve the credit and the last thing anyone, even us ourselves, should cheat us out of is the credit for never letting the barriers be an obstacle and never letting this country... this country... break our spirit.
If there's one belief... one lesson Dr. King taught and had faith in when he preached non-violence is that kind of transformative power that not only transforms us but the country in the process.
MSNBC had T.D. Jakes on early and I liked his statement even though he talked about how the "country" has progressed... Jakes said he differed from older folks who originally doubted (as I did) that the country was ready. I can't remember exactly how he said it but he went on to affirm the feeling I always had, regardless to what I thought about the country: I knew Obama was good enough to win and would if given the opportunity.
No, he won't tell that would lose him his slot on the 'Morning Joe' token rotation along with Jonathan Capehart and John Ridley.
You mean why Obama was not pulling extremely high numbers?
This is kind of a risky comment but -- did it strike anyone as kind of racist how they kept showing Spelman college or what not? Like, look at all those happy black people! It rubbed me the wrong way.
