Obamapolooza!


Farrakhan Speaks Out… Minister Louis Farrakhan shared som thoughts on Barack this past weekend.
“We can change laws, but it’s difficult to change attitudes,” he told a congregation of about 1,200 people at Mosque Maryam on Chicago’s South Side. He cited news reports that gun sales had surged since Obama’s electoral victory, and told of how fights reportedly broke out in some schools, with white students chanting “white power,” while blacks students chanted “black power.”
“I’m sure that many of our people have unfortunately lost their lives because of the absolute hatred that is manifested now that one of our own has risen to such a high office.” He also said that the gracious concession speech given by McCain had not assuaged “the pain of loss and frustration and disappointment to those who felt great pain at Obama’s rise.”
And he said that for some people, the prospect of a black family in the White House, was a “sacrilege.” Source
I generally have reservations with cosigning ANYTHING Farrakhan says. And although this is a negative outlook on the future of Barack’s presidency it’s the God’s honest truth. There were (and continue to be) a whole lot of people enraged over his win. That’s why I keep praying he stays in that bunker.

Michelle to Grace Vogue Cover… Vogue’s spokesman said, , "Starting with Eleonor Roosevelt, it's been a long-standing tradition to photograph the new First Lady. So needless to say, we are very interested in working with Mrs. Obama. Precisely how is still being discussed."
Michelle was featured in Vogue back in ’07 but wasn’t on the cover. Iff she goes through with it she’ll be the second first lady, after Hilary Clinton to appear on the cover. Source

Measures Taken to Protect Obama…
When President Elect Barack Obama, took the stage to give his acceptance speech he was surrounded by bullet proof glass shields. In addition, there were dozens of secret service agents strategically placed through out the crowd and in high positions to hopefully ward off or stop any attacks on him. Before the speech they had an agent pose as Obama to see how susceptible he was to gunfire from various points. Also, a no fly zone was imposed over the area. Only police helicopters were allowed.

I’m glad the secret service knows whats up. Keep up the good work guys.

Lindsay Lohan Refers to Obama as Colored…

The Obama Girls are Wanted for Hanna Montana… Billy Ray Cyrus who stars on Hanna Montana with real life daughter Miley Cyrus told Access Hollywood that Malia and Sasha Obama have been asked to appear on the show.
“They probably will. The invitation is there,” Cyrus said, adding, “You know the Hannah Montana film comes out in April. Maybe something might happen around then.” When pressed for details, Cyrus said, “I can’t, I can’t. I have got to keep a secret.” In interviews, the President-Elect has said Malia is a big fan of Hannah Montana.
Mily said, “I think that would be really cool and if anything, have them visit the set. They are kind of like me before I started my own career.”
The Obama camp, however, didn’t know anything about this. An Obama source tells Us, “Folks within Obama-land know of no such request.” Source
Um, I think I’ll answer for Michelle and Barack by saying, “No! Hell no!”
