That guy sounds like a typical low quality black guy that spends the bulk of his time putting black women down but doesn't have his own s*it together.

Between now and the election, we will find out if she has that degree or not. Journalists just have to monitor Alumni journals. They will say class of OR former student (which means the degree was never conferred.)

Remember when there were actual news journalists? Makes me think- What's up with Meet the Press? Isn't it time to name the next guy?

By the way I'm cool with Alaska seceding, Texas too.

Obama: Close Gitmo, Ban Torture To "Regain America's Moral Stature"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/14/barack...

60 Minutes aired its interview tonight with Barack and Michelle Obama, they're first interview since Obama won the presidential election. In the interview, Obama repeated his commitment to close Guantanamo Bay and ban torture in order to "regain America's moral stature in the world."

President-elect Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast Sunday that since terrorists might try to attack the U.S. during the White House transition, selecting his national security team is one of his top priorities.

"I think it's important to get a national security team in place because transition periods are potentially times of vulnerability to a terrorist attack," Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes." "We want to make sure that there is as seamless a transition on national security as possible."

In his first television interview since his historic election, Obama said he has spent the days since the election on short- and long-term issues, from doing "whatever it takes" to stabilize the economy, restore consumer confidence and create jobs, to getting sound health care and energy policies through Congress. The president-elect also said that as soon as he takes office he will work with his security team and the military to draw down U.S. troops in Iraq, shore up Afghanistan and "stamp out al-Qaida once and for all."

GreenLadyHere, I'll bet Barack played a few board games back in the day; Monpoly for one.

I can see Barack now, with the car piece landing on Board Walk, Park Place and all the utlities and railroads. Negotiating mortgages with other players who are 'bout ta loose their property. The only rule change now is: The Wall Street mofos aint getting outta JAIL FOR FREE!

$50M seems a bit much. Even Hillary Clinton didn't get that much money. Of course if some publisher is stupid enough to pay her and the books fail too bad for them. I also head Joe the Plumber is getting a deal as well.

Obama Sends Thank You To People of Illinois

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/16/obama-...

CHICAGO — On the day he formally stepped down as Illinois' junior senator, President-elect Barack Obama released an open letter to state residents, saying they had taught him lessons he would draw on during his presidency.

Obama, whose resignation after nearly four years in the Senate was a formality in the wake of his Nov. 4 election victory, thanked Illinois residents in a nostalgic letter published in Sunday newspapers throughout the state.

"I will never forget, and will forever be grateful, to the men and women of this great state who made my life in public service possible," Obama wrote

I listened to the book on CD a few years ago. The lady who did the voice recording, did all the characters. It was transformingly delightful!

Queen Latifah Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson,and Sophie Okonedo were fabulous.
