Countdown to the Inauguration: 46 Days — Open Thread

5 Dec 2008 Author: rikyrah

The Evening Open Thread.

Rules are the same.

Drop those links. Engage in debate. Give us trivia and gossip too.

And continue to have a peaceful day.

As they got around to tracing Michelle Obama’s ‘ roots’:

A family’s journey

Jim Robinson: born about 1850, lived as a slave.

Fraser Robinson: born 1884.

Fraser Robinson Jr.: born 1912.

Fraser Robinson III: born 1935.

Michelle Obama: born 1964, will be America’s next First Lady

From the shacks behind the Big House to The White House in five generations. From an apartment above a Chicago bungalow to The White House in one generation.

I also love them. As a matter of fact, I have some outfits that they would be perfect with!

Is this thread still for the Inaugual too? Cause I really, really hope that the P-E reconsiders fireworks for the Inauguration. He seems to feel they'd be too much considering our hard times but I think they are major democratic; the poorest child in DC can enjoy them first hand & the rest of us can see them on TV. Our P-E can't really invite us all to the ball and Mr. Stafford isn't gonna put us all up in flash hotels, but man, a MAJOR fireworks display would be great. Something for all of us.

I know. Shameless. There's no excuse for the way I wallow in the shallow.

I think Michelle Obama looks great in this outfit.
And the beads make beige a whole lot more interesting!
