Verizon Wireless has fired employees connected with a breach of records from a cell phone used earlier this year by President-elect Barack Obama, a Verizon source told CNN Friday.
The source would not say how many people were terminated, but said that "we now consider this matter closed."
It's official: after much speculation, the Obama girls will be attending Sidwell Friends School when they move to Washington, DC in January. Check out our slideshow of famous Sidwell Friends alumi below:

according to wikipedia there is 38% minority amng students. Plus Biden's granddaughters, that the girls are familiar with attend the school and they have the experience of educating Chelsea.
LoL...the Sidwell Friends Website boasts that, "39 Percent of their students are children 'of color.'" Furthermore, they grant financial aid/scholarships to 22 percent of their student body...ala the scholarships Michelle and Barack received to attend their ivy league schools....
This is a prime example of why SecOfTreasury is infinitely more important than SecOfState right now...people shouldn't get so upset about foreign policy mgmt if we can't get our own financial house in order.
That doesn't look anything like Obama! Please check out the story on The Hankster: The Black Independent: A new political category (and a cultural revolution) http://grassrootsindependent.blogspot.com/2008/... Thanks!! And let me know what you think!
Barack Obama's chief campaign strategist and soon to be White House senior advisor David Axelrod said the transition team is not upset over the increasing number of leaks about potential cabinet appointments, a stark contrast to the tight-lipped campaign.
"No one is frustrated, no one is anguished," Axelrod told CBS 2 political editor Mike Flannery. He blamed the leaks on the expansion of the team beyond the tight campaign core and a scoop-hungry news media operating in "a vacuum":
"Any time you involve large numbers of people in something like this, there's gonna be leaks. And there's a fanaticism almost among the news media to break the big story."
Geez, I don't know who to believe anymore! First the New York Times stated the Obama Team is upset over the leaks but now Axelrod says no! This is making my head hurt!
I have MFCD Syndrome, I'm trying to stay away from newspapers and all news media, because I am dog-tired about MSM and their manipulation as it relates to the Obama's choices, especially Clinton.
I was so excited, I went from super cynical to mildly cynical about politics. Now I'm right back where I started...and I don't to get to the point where I'm super cynical again.

The NYT is so full of crap. Yesterday they "had" that Pritzger was the Commerce secy. This must be why they endorsed HRC -- obviously they have much better sources in her camp.
I know about the 'fine' thing...but think about it...little kids around the country with an Obama doll...think about that.

I have been waiting for this! But Cabbage Patch -- as if. I want a nice one with a great suit . . . and my DS is getting one for Hanukkah! And the matching Michelle doll with clothes to change for the DDs! Whoever puts these out will make a mint.
That doll is too cute. I grew up with Cabbage Patch dolls, but never owned one because I wasn't into dolls that much to justify the cost, but if I had a little girl, I would so buy this for her.

Lord have mercy! I remember when Cabbage Patch Dolls first came on the market. People lost their damn minds! Mother's crying & folks fighting to make sure they got theirs. Insane. My cousin had a Premie called "princess" that was adorable.

OOh I want an Obama Cabbage Patch doll!

I know this sounds wrong, but so.do.I.

I think we are going to need to stage an intervention here, people. I know some of y'all have gotten the plate. I know you have, don't EVEN try to deny it.
Well, I don't have a plate, cause I don't have my granny Chiffarobe to put it in! So THERE!
<<<sticks out tongue and ducks>>>
Kat
Well, I don't blame you, because if you GET the plate, you have to properly DISPLAY the plate. ;)
isonprize
the plate. the coins. the dog tags (with Barack on one side, Michelle on the other). all kinds of t-shirts. buttons --1", 2.25", 3". sneakers. baseball caps. hoodies. car flags. totebags. fridge magnets. umbrellas. christmas tree ornaments. HOPE poster -- from the wall version to the cell phone sticker size. And ya'll KNOW there are going to be some little Baracks and Michelles in the spring, not to mention Sasha and Malia.
Let's not forget the ignorant stuff: Obama waffles, Obama monkey. Obama food stamp (complete with watermelon, and bucket of KFC)

I wish that someone would do a retrospective and go back and talk to all the people who showed their butts during the election, and ask how they feel now..... I especially want to hear from Harriet whatshername, the deranged Hillary supporter who called Obama "an inadequate black man" at the DNC meeting. The one who said that McCain was going to win the election.
LOL!!! Daily Show had a segment on actual "Obama Condoms" available in New York.
Yes we can?

I thought they were kidding about those...and was pleasantly disgusted (in the facetious,'omg they really didn't go there' sense) that they were indeed REAL.

Miranda, where are you? You got your plate for the chiifarobe yet? And the doll? Immma keep mine in my cedar Lane chest with the rest of my doll collection. LOL!!!
So it took a president to put a brown Cabbage Patch Doll is a suit? You know this one was wearing overalls before the election...LOL.
But seriously, yes I want one for my daughter too... I won't lie. They're cute and remember making the mad grab through the aisles of Toys R Us as a kid to get one. I heard that the company was only making a few to auction on EBay... if anyone hears that the Obama doll is going to be made available to the public, let me know!
