rikyrah: Just gettin' back! :>)

OH! MY! GOODNESS! :>) :>)

Isn't She Lovely?

YES SHE IS!!

God Bless HER/HIM!! :>)

CAPTIONS:

MICHELLE OBAMA: Take that, bitches! Yeah I posed for my official WHITE HOUSE PORTRAIT for all of posterity in NO SLEEVES! How ya like me now?

THOMAS JEFFERSON (giving Michelle the eye): Oh I likes it just fine!

Is ol' TJ giving her the eye like in Ghostbusters II?

For sure, he ain't no Viggo.

lol

Town, look downthread -- I'm guessing Miranda will be sending you with me and Sepia -- straight to hell with the gasoline draws on!! LOLOL

All of you.....All of you.....CraZy! LOL!

I mean that in a loving way! :)

LOL!

Town...stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to quit! rotflmao!

Potus and Flotus are sending a message...stop smoking, start exercising, stop over eating...

No lie.

I think POTUS hasn't yet stopped smoking, though.

Awe Rite Nah!

I'm thinkin' that it had to be a conscious decision to have ol' TJ in this official portrait.

As you may recall, both POTUS and FLOTUS have a wicked, dry sense of humor. There has GOT to be some jokey jokes on this one. Don't even get me started...

LoL, you know that they did this intentionally. There's no other way to explain it. Thomas Jefferson is somewhere between Heaven and Hell wishing that he had made Sally Hemings the First AA First Lady, but alas all he can do is be jealous of President Obama now.

Ok, so who is that white man pictured in the background and why is he on the FLOTUS official protrait? Can't she have a picture with just her face in it?

Looks like Thomas Jefferson...and we all know he liked him some sistahs. How ironic? He's looking at her...oops. Don't mean to be disrespectful, the picture speaks a thousand words.

NOTE: My bad...didn't see previous comments, we're all on the same wavelength.

Let's be frank. TJ liked only one sista, and and she was pale, and she looked like his late wife. Her half-sister.

She probably got a little darker when she got older (as we all do).

I see her looking like Jennifer Beals, not Halle Berry.

Pure Grace.

POTUS inspires all kinds of websites:

Baller-in-Chief - Obama and Basketball. Period.

I'm just sayin'

Oh Yeah!!!! Thank you, iceberg. Pics are fab. PBO gets to hang and have a brewskie with the fans.

I love it! He's all up in there w/his beer enjoying the game and the crowd. I think that being among ppl really sustains him.

I love it too. Here's a video of PBO arriving at the Verizon Center and hanging out at the game. Folks just love'em and he them.

Thanks Spirit!

You always find good videos! Yay!

First Lady Michelle! Wow ... just stunning beauty!

for real.

The First Lady is beautiful and classy...so what else do you expect to hear about our First Lady???

Another nice angle: now we know HBCUs don't have a monopoly on strong, beautiful black women. Three Cheers of Ol' Nassau...

Contrast with Rihanna, who, according to People Magazine today, is back with Chris Brown at one of Diddy's homes. Was it Chris Rock who pondered the difference between black people and n**gers (apparently, when dealing with those three, regardless of income)?

That's a damn shame.

I'm not surprised at all. Women usually leave six times before they end the abusive relationship. It's only going to get worse. So sad!!

Wait until he busts her upside her head...again.

<<<Sigh>>>

I'm not surprised at all and she shouldn't be surprised when her career is kaput. Unfortunately (for her), she became the poster child for domestic violence and staying with her abuser is going to brand her as unmarketable. I cannot imagine that many companies (especially companies geared towards women and girls) want their products endorsed by Rihanna. Had she left him, she could have written her ticket but if she stays she's done. Also unfortunate, because she is now in a cycle of violence and the next time it happens (and it will) no one will care and she will not receive sympathy or pity. Instead she will be met with disdain and people will be calling her stupid for staying. She needs some smart girlfriends to ask her if she understands the ramifications of staying, personally and professionally.

Agree. Rhianna's going down a dangerous road, and that road could lead her straight to the graveyard.

oooooh, if I could just snatch her up. But you know, people have to be ready to hear what they need to hear.

And obviously, SHE AIN'T READY!

There should be domestic violence rehab. She needs a DV witness protection program. She thinks she's 'grown' and I suppose, technically, she is 'cause she's 21, but I swear, if I were her momma and daddy, I'd kidnap her and lock her ass away for at least 2 - 3 months.

Look how long it took Tina to get props in the music industry. Rihanna is doing herself a disservice and her people don't appear to be helping her either.

And what the hell does Sean Combs have to do with this? Who is he now, Pimp Diddy?

Agree with DV witness protection.

Somehow, someone has convinced this woman to stick it out with Chris Brow, .and yes, they have done her a huge disservice. If it's another woman, who talked her into it, I swear if I got close enough, I'd give them a piece of my mind!

Good question as to why P-diddy got to be all up in there.

but if it turns out ok, as we hope it does no matter what, you know the media move on this: the youngest barbara walters interview of all time - chris and rhi sitting for a bill and hillary.

Or the media will use her as the poster girl for doing the wrong thing. I don't think anyone in the MSM will celebrate Rihanna for this move.

I can't see this as being "okay" even if there is no violence in the next year or so. It can and most likely will happen again. I hope she realizes that before it is too late.

absolutely agree with the skepticism - just looking at how this will be treated in the media while hoping that, indeed, all works out. they will print and interview we will consume. that's the nature of celebrity: i don't think the environment will ever be good for helping while it does indeed influence.

Right, stand by your man.

You're right and that's the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. If Chris Brown was just some guy and Rihanna was Rihanna, not one celeb would go on television or radio and talk about what a good guy Chris is. No one seems capable of saying that domestic violence often leads to death--instead let's pretend that this is a one time thing and it all blows over. I hope for her sake, someone is thinking about more than Chris Brown's career and reputation and are thinking about her life and safety. But I guess if they were, she wouldn't be holed up in one of Diddy's houses with her abuser.

The First AA POTUS is walking around in the basketball stadium. OMG!! Lord please protect him; he thinks he's invincible and doesn't understand that people will take his life just because he's trying to do the right thing. Please protect him.

FLOTUS makes you take a second look in the mirror at your arms, that's for sure.

Myth, PBO is going to a secured suite for the second half of the game. Security is turning it out for him.

I think it's time to post the "Chill The F--- Out! I Got This!" pic again.

Sepia, I know that's right. isonprize got it goin on. LOL!

The Wizards game is the safest place in the world to be tonight.

ROTFLMBAO!!!! Yep.

Wow!! Between this and seeing that all black female flight crew on CNN today...no words ..just WOW!!

I am so glad that the story of the all female and all black flight crew is getting some wider recognition.

Those women are BAD!!! We need more contemporary stories of techy women like that. Of course, much props to Mae Jemison. And all the women doctors, and chemists and engineers!!

But we need even more, everyday people so that young girls will know that it takes studying and setting goals and more studying, but they can have different careers.

These ladies aren't some weird, genius, all-work-and-no-play type people. They are everyday people who set goals, worked toward them and achieved them.

And on that note, I do wish that FLOTUS will continue to talk with high school students, especially girls, and let them know how she got through high school and Princeton and Harvard.

Yes, she married a guy with a funny name, but SHE IS BAD ALL BY HERSELF!!!!

Beautiful. A lot of folks 'bout to get in shape. Go First Lady!

You know it! I've been working with a trainer for about a month now.

Heyyyyyyyy!

Go Texasgirl!

She sure gets you motivated that's for sure. JJP should have a "Michelle Obama" fitness challenge....

good one. I am in.

ON a much more serious note, I am re-posting the following:

Genital Mutilation: African Women Risk Lives To Fight For Others

If this isn't a human rights issue, then I don't know what is...

Thank you for posting this. I have to admit that I didn't realize the practice was on the rise.

Yeah, this is some vile, evil ish right there, eh? Even with all the foolishness women have to put up with in these United States, I can't even imagine the horror of this barbaric practice. And that it happens at the hands of other black 'women'? oooooohhhh, truly shuddering to think of it... eeeeewwwwww

Thomas Jeffereson is totally checking the first lady out. I kid I kid :P

Beautiful picture !

See? I ain't the only one that noticed that. I said ol' TJ is checkin' out FLOTUS. Some said I would burn in hell for the comment. LOLOLOL

Makes me think of the JJPer who said something to the effect about a sista walking into the White House through the frontdoor and not having to sneak in the backdoor.

Both y'all going straight there with gasoline draws on!! LMAO!!

HELLO??

as a native american and "[person of color" I will continue to increase my jogging miles.

I'll be right there with you Angelar, except, maybe far behind you- bent over gasping for air.

lol

thanks....I just got to jogging for 4 miles. and will walk for another 5 miles.

My inspiration is a lady who started running at 61 yrs and is still running at 81.

I will never give up.

Damn, I gotta get to the gym! DAMN. I ain't hating, in fact, I know I'm not the only one up in here with a 'girl crush' on FLOTUS. Between her and Desiree Rogers, whewww.

I won't speak for anyone else, but I know I need to step my game up. I gotta get to the gym. damn.

get your family in shape and stop thinking about you

uh, Have we met?

I am a Native American....you and I have not met

no

Condi is going to put her boots on a whip ya

LOL!!! Those boots were hot.

isonprize, I hear you. Get going;y ou can d do it! I'll support you.

t's cold as a witches tit in a brass bra, but I came home and jogged for 30 minutes and then 30 minutes of pilates.

Pilates is great for getting those muscles lithe and lean.

She looks good. :)

There is no up in that White House who's finer than FLOTUS!
