Well the weather is much warmer now! By the way you can go to the White House w/o a previous appointment but you'll have to wait in line for a while. You can book an appt for the Capitol tour online.

“How can we see what he is doing if the bathroom doors are not only closed, but you can't see through them?”

All of the bruhaha over Re-Re's hat is indicative of the disconnect between the main stream and black culture. For black women, a hat isn't just a hat. It's OUR CROWN, and you just don't mess with our crowns. Big Momma and nem will cut you.

I hear you, msmartin, but you know charity begins at home. One of my daughters is having surgery tomorrow, so she suggested we spend the afternoon at the homeless shelter.

I came to DC to be with her through the surgery, so she gives back by serving at the shelter.

I ask for your prayers. Thank you.

What a terrific idea Miranda. I know it means a lot to a lot of people.

I had just remarked to my son the other day about how Ms. Robinson, a regular everyday black woman without any political aspirations has gone from the South Side of Chicago to the Whitehouse.

There's not doubt the company is trying to capitalize off the Obamas. That point isn't being argued.

I agree, Obama should have had a YouTube swearing in and had the inaugural ball at McDonalds.

GEEZ.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama has already gone back on his promises of transparency, a disgruntled organization says.

"Barack Obama promises transparency, but all of the White House bathroom doors are solid," says Jefrrey McMullen, president of Keep Obama Accountable (KOA). "How can we see what he is doing if the bathroom doors are not only closed, but you can't see through them?"

Making the White House replace their solid bathroom doors with clear ones is a top priority for KOA. "Obama could be cutting side deals with rogue nations, palling around with terrorists on Facebook...we don't know what he's doing because the door is closed. It is of the upmost importance that we know what Obama is doing behind those doors."

When asked if clear bathroom doors for the private White House residence was also a priority for KOA, McMullen said yes. "The American people deserve and have a right to know what Obama is doing behind those doors."

Challenged by the notion that what one does in the privacy of their bathroom does not violate the spirit of transparency, McMullen disagreed. "Obama is the one who said he wanted total transparency in government and we're holding him to that. We the people have the right to know if he is using 3-ply toilet paper on the public dime or is he holding himself to the same cuts he demands the American people make."

The White House had no comment for this article.

AFTERNOON THREAD IS UP

If he does nothing else, this will be monumental to me. I have been sick about what Bush and Cheney and their operatives (the good old boys club) has done to maintain control and undo the justice that had been achieved and set the country back to a time when they were the only voice that mattered.

I hope the President comes through like a bull dozer loud and strong with combat boots and tears down the establishment of supremacy and control they tried to build.

God bless you and your daughters. They are the forgotten citizens who we will remember under this administration.

I so want to serve, but I can't seem to stop “serving” my family long enough to help anyone else. It's maddening.
