Jack & Jill Politics

Heartwarming! What a relief to get rid of that crowd -- and to replace W with O -- how can we be so lucky?!?!

Mrs. O was rockin' the red, okaaaaaaaaaay :: two snaps :::

denise: Hey! :>) And a virtual 'DAP'! :>) :>)

It seem like bush was ignoring obama.Correct me if I'm wrong...It was pretty obvious.

Alex: Hey! :>) SINNNNNNCE he has managed to keep himself away from "GREATNESS and INTELLIGENCE CLOTHED IN BLACK SKIN" [I know that he did a "NON-MELANIN-MAN JIG" in Africa], he was probably intimidated!

Now he was going to have to SPEAK WORDS with CLEAR THOUGHTS! HAH!!

Annnnnnnd, he couldn't say NU-CU-LAR TO someone who could CORRECTLY PRONOUNCE the word!! He was "SCURRED!" :>) :>)

I feel so powerful right now and it just keeps getting better and better even at 36yrs old I feel like I have a new lease on life and have already applied to get my MBA online which is something I have been procrasting about for 3 years now.

Even my wife has decided to go back for her Masters as Michelle has provided her with so much insperation and hope.

I AM BARACK OBAMA

Wow! This is what an inspirational couple can do.


Lets get to work!

President-Elect Obama! :>) First Lady Michelle! :>)

Have you seen the Washington Post article about a former butler at the White House (http://www.kottke.org/08/11/a-white-house-butle...) if not, read it, then look again at these photos.

Amazing what has happened within the lifetime of people still living today.

cried when I first read it,and it still touches me.

I posted it in today's open thread

Shannon: Hey! :>) O.K. I'm CRYING!! TISSUE, please!! :>)

Very touching - on ALL POINTS!!

THANK YOU> :>)

President-Elect Obama! First Lady Michelle! :>)

The Obamas look like they were always meant for the heights. Michelle especially looks like royalty. Just a reminder that we always had it in us.

I know Laura Bush recieves a lot of hate. Sure, she comes off as stoic and bland. But she just seems like a very guarded person who is with some who is in a very public position. Can't really fault her for that.

The Bushes and Obamas seem to be genuinely greeting each other well. And it dawned on me, this is something we cannot share with them. Like it or not, the Obamas are now part of a political elite. All living presidents (and president-elects) are 'bonded' by a sense of kinship in being the few to have had one of the hardest jobs on earth. Not that it's a bad thing. In fact, this is such a thrillingly great thing. An amazingly, flabbergastingly wonderful thing.

I think Michelle read our comments about her dress on Election Night, and told her stylist, "Naw, I got this" for the White House visit.

When girlfriend chooses her own wardrobe, she rocks. When someone else chooses her clothes = CRAPSHOOT.

And when she and the POTUS travel abroad, I want her to get the same welcome they gave Jackie Kennedy when she went to Paris with JFK.

He actually introduced himself to the Paris crowd as "the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris and I'm proud to have done so." Or something like that.

I was a baby at the time, but my parents kept the LIFE magazine photo shoot - my mom for the fashion, of course. LOL

Laura Bush was the sanest person in the White House the last eight years. I'm not hating on her.

And our future First Lady rocked in Power Red!

you are right on both accounts, CPL.

on another note, I was gonna just ff thru David Gregory's show, until I saw that the Dark Sith was on it. You know I just had to watch and hear him choke about the PRESIDENT-ELECT AND FUTURE FIRST LADY going to THE WHITE HOUSE.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA

How much Haterade did the Dark Sith choke down?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

CPL, don't even get me started on how *sharp* my First Lady-Elect looked. My goodness, she's gonna outshine Jackie O. if she isn't careful.

Have mercy, classy Blacknes is BAAAAAAAACK!!!!

I cannot wait to travel to Europe to visit relatives now. Instead of assuming that people will think I look like a video ho, they might think I look like DA FIRST LAY-DAY!!!!!!

(Sorry for my e-yelling, I don't think I'm gonna calm down for awhile, lol. I am so excited.)

I've always sensed that Laura Bush, while a conservative like her husband, was merely along for the ride as W's wife. You've never seen her do much in the way of advocating actual policy--she's actually been more of the traditional semi-neutral First Lady.

I can't 'hate' Laura Bush like I can her incompetent husband, she really hasn't done much to ruin things. Well, except for killing a guy in an accident. But other than that, naw, can't hate her too much, comparitively speaking.

I know what you mean. In fact, I've often gotten the impression from interviews that there were times that she didn't always agree with what her husband was doing. Little things here and there, but I wouldn't be surprised.

June, that's why she was kept out of sight for most of Bush's tenure.

She's pro-choice; the minute she said so on the campaign trail back in 2000, she was force fed six-packs of STHU.

Hasn't been heard from on controversial issues, since, because it was widely thought that they were way divergent from Dubya's.

I'm sure she didnt, which is why Jenna freely admitted she didn't know who she was gonna vote for in an interview with Mom. I think the twins are a tad independent in their politics and they get it from Mom....and then Jenna asking a priest who endorsed Obama to preside over her nuptials...I think they disagree with the outgoing administration on a number of things.

a meeting of the mind

Steve: Hey! :>) LOL!! LOL! GOOD ONE!! :>) :>)

I caught it and LMAO when I read it.

kick the man while he's down...LOL

I'm slow, took me awhile to catch that, hilarious!!! LOL!!!!

Happy, happy, happy day!! I'm still in a state of disbelief, at least a little bit. But it's a happy, happy, happy day!!
