rikyrah: FIRST LADY & Dr. Jill - - -"GO 2 WORK" on DAY 100:

+ Michelle Obama And Jill Biden Spend Afternoon Volunteering At DC Food Bank :>)

First Lady Michelle Obama is making good on her promise to actively volunteer in the Washington area, bagging food for hungry children at a local food bank on her husband's 100th day in office.

Mrs. Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, joined more than 100 congressional spouses at the Capital Area Food Bank on Wednesday, passing out packages of wheat pasta and cans of pineapple as volunteers bagged 2,000 meals for low-income kids in the area.

This is the second time the first lady has volunteered for the hungry in the District of Columbia. In March, she served lunch to the homeless at a soup kitchen.

The event was sponsored by the food bank and Feeding America, a hunger relief group.

Here are two more pics that I thought were especially cute. Such a happy family!!

Enjoy!!

Snowboarding

Hugging Michelle

I LOVE that. Something about the President and his wife. Slaps you in the face. They LOVE each other. It is a beautiful thing.

I couldn't watch the tv pundits bark about the Presidential presser. i did know from following Harris-Lacewell that she'd be on Maddow. She should have her own show even if it's once a week! Other than that I was having Hump Day/Writer's Block Blues http://tinyurl.com/c7w2pp

My favorite REAL reporter Al Giordano: The Field

His live blog of the Press Conference. Al and Town could a journalistic comedy routine!!

One of many money quotes from Al -- Got it? To [reporter], apparently, only the opinions of the white folk count. I suspect there are others - right and left - who would never say it, but think it...

Here's another one from Al Giordano...

I'll take this one Mr. President: "I am surprised by how effing stupid you national reporters are... I am troubled that the best universities in the country let you graduate... I am enchanted every effing moment I get to be away from you... I am humbled that people still watch this show with such lousy supporting actors."

Priceless!

my favorite from Al Giordano:

8:48 p.m.: Gawd, it's so embarrassing to be a white person tonight! Andre from Black Entertainment Television asks about getting out of the economic recession. He specifically asks about its impact on the black community, but you know what? That's what white folk care most about, too! But we're not well represented by the reporters that look most like us. The media companies should take a cue from CSI and replace its lead actors already!

The New York Times headlined the potential failure of the current government in Pakistan from the press conference.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/30/us/politics/3...

Tavis is on Larry King. He gets asked to grade the President and somehow finds a way to plug his book and only giving a grade of B- when pressed by Larry. I'm hoping he sounds less arrogant for the rest of the interview.

can't stand Tavis . . . refuse to watch him and certainly won't buy anything that benefits him.

He must've read JJP calling his hatin' azz out, 'cuz on The Early Show he gave him a "D".

On the TJMS Mr Smiley said that President Obama was doing an outstanding job.

I have always said that, first and foremost. Tavis is for Tavis. Always has been, always will be. Hawking his book and new movie, he's a run-of-the-mill opportunist. He ain't the first, won't be the last.

On the TJMS Mr Smiley said that President Obama was doing an outstanding job.


Ain't that a bitch.

How can he go from ' D' to outstanding job?

Uh huh.

Maybe he wants people to buy his book.

What kind of logic is that? It makes NO sense.

Girl, he backstroked so hard that there shouldn't be a lick of skin left on his back. You would think he and PBO were having a love affair.

Remember - we're all in this together.

100 days

Sharon the Dapkings.

I have to thank you and JJP for introducing me to this group. I had no idea... THANKS JJP!!

Michelle Bernard's on with her new hair.

Tweety PBO's pessers are boring. No animation.
Lawrence: PBO has a lot to say. Hello, he gives comprehensive answers.

3 white guys learning about race relations

Lawrence: Whites had to put their votes where their mouths were. I live on the white side. He knows what they are capable of, where blacks couldn't. He as never surpised that he would caspture white votes. Whites had to step up and prove themselves.

Tell it like it is, LAWrence.

tweety is such a moron sometimes, obviously PBO's sole job during his press conferences is to entertain the likes of tweety. seriously, sometimes that man just needs to sit down & STFU.

Obama Enchanted, Surprised, Troubled, Humbled Question During 100 Days press Conference (VIDEO)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/29/obama-...

Tweety's back on with Roger Simon and Ed.

Watching. Ed's for REAL.

Did anybody just hear Lacewell say to Rachel that black people are just happy that the POTUS hasnt been shot at in the first 100 days?? OMG.

that was quite possibly the most hilarious thing i've heard on television in quite a while. rachel kind of shrugged it off and got all awkward, but god knows lacewell is 110% right. given all the crazy that got stirred up by palin & co. and exaggerated by the fox loonies since jan. and the way just about everyone in the white wing media has been struggling not to call the man nigger, i am in fact shocked nobody's tried anything that was crazy enough for it to become news. i don't know any black person that wouldn't be completely shocked if he made it through 4 or 8 years without some whack job trying something, especially with the country & people's lives as messed up as they are right now. i pray for that man and his family to be kept safe from the crazies every single day, and ms. lacewell could not have been more spot on with that comment; it has definitely been one of the most surprising things about the last 100 days.

Saw that, Rachel got all embarassed (like most white people do) when she said that. Nevermind that it's true what Lacewell said. I also liked that she backed it up with historical referenecws.

Melissa Harris-Lacewell cracks me up.

We're just happy he hasn't been shot.

Lawd.

True, but still.

She's a natural. Hilarious.

Did anyone else notice the Obama didn't call on Fox News!!!!!

I called it the other day, so Fox didn't wna to put on the O-man's presser and then had the nerve to put on a show titles "LIE TO ME", fine, "NO QUESTION FOR YOU!!!" (said in my best "Soup Nazi" voice)

wait . . . Faux News was there? I thought they were not going to be covering the press conference.

Poor Beck, Hannity and co...they will have fun tomorrow telling their viewers how POTUS retaliated against them because they stood with the party of NO

LOL

I'm watching the 're-run' on Huff Po. CAN YA'LL JUST IMAGINE THE SHIGGEDY that would have come out of W's mouth with the "essay question - surprised, troubled, enchanted, humbled" W woulda just looked stupid, laughed with that shit eatin' grin and taken the next question.

LOLOLOL

Shot out to Craig, you were right bout CNN. CNN is dead to me.

What's happening on CNN? What's happening is that I am officially saying F%$# you to CNN.

Anderson Cooper just let the F%$#-wit Stephen Hayes go on a practically unchallenged rant about Obama not "believing in American exceptialism, and over-apologizing about American foreign policy. He danm near questioning Obama's patriotrism and saying that Obama was indeed a leftist idealogue who doesn't stand up for America. Then Paul Begala who ususally has a lot to say said sometihng trying to be more concillatory but you could tell he was shocked that Hayes practically said Obama an leftst anti-American idealouge. Then that old man Ed Rollins of course wants to bring up Carter (WTF Carter had to do with anything I don't know!!)
This sad to say was all started by David Gergen (who I used to like, but he is offically dead to me) who said that Obama shouldn't "go apologizing" all over the place.
You could see Roland Martin chomping at the bit to cut Stephen Hayes F8&^in head off (which if you've seen them when Roland, Stephen and Gloria are on panel together, Roland always calls Stephen on his BS, and Stephen don't like it), but Anderson (I'm Gay, but I don't really care bout Gay issues (yeah right Anderson) Cooper cut off the conversation because it was getting too heating because they had just a few seconds to give another lame ass grade from viewers.

Thank God for Fareed Zacharia, the only person who said that by admitting the mistakes that America has made (remember, ain't no body perfect, but the Lawd, and America ain't the Lawd, no matter what neo-cons and Cheney says)

Urghhhhhhhh!!

I am a big fan of Sanchez...but I follow him on Twitter...so I am cool

Valerie Jarrett and Melissa Harris-Lacewell on Rachel Maddow

Jarrett's got that spin down doesnt she? Go 'head!!

No offense to the Black Snob and SCAN, but Jarrett is the REAL oracle...

She's as polished as grandma's sterling silver.

Yes, she is.

I love Valerie, just love her.

Did you see Amy Klobachar? Love her too. She's Minnesota nice; good people.

" Minnesota nice " is a great way to describe her.

Shot out to Craig, you were right bout CNN. CNN is dead to me.

CNN grades Obama's swagga:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbw1UluwVhg

Somewhere, in an office far, far away in Harlem, a certain ex-president is drowning his sorrows in a cheeseburger saying, "But what about meeeeeeeee???".

You gotta check out the Daily Show about this.

I'll bet that anchorwoman's panties needed some laundry time after that show aired.

T.J. Holmes, shameful; educating these fools on how black men get their swagger on. SMH.

Let me find out Kyra Phillips be creepin' down to College Park.....

Kyra Phillips couldn't contain herself. She was wiggling and giggling and even begged T.J. for some hugging afterwards. I was waiting for them both to light a cigarette.

Town, you didn't think they'd actually be doing SERIOUS journalism, did you?

Craig is never far off about CNN.

This proves CNN has fallen off. Discussing why Barack Obama has swagga and why black guys hug it out while the other 43 presidents walked straight up and down is "Ringling Brothas" behavior [/field negro].

Thank you, Town.

Town, you sure do have a way of calling it like it is.

That clip was despicable.

Really enjoyed watching PBO in realtime with the JJP fam...now it's time for me to feed my LOST addiction as the DVR has accumulated 20+ minutes and I can now fast forward through commercials. BBL.

Enjoy and have fun!

Maybe it's because I'm from Chicago, but I still crack up at the sight of David Axelrod in a suit, and his hair being combed. Never thought it could happen.

I actually kinda liked him frumpy and wrinkled. I'm sure so many people underestimated him...

Geez, I sure hope he wears deodorant. Valerie looks immpeccable.

BBBWWWWAAAHHHAAAAAAA

I sure hope he wears deodorant.

Hope so too. Otherwise..eww!

House passed gay "hate crime" bill:
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/29...

Watching Rachel & Keith, and they are discussing Obama's answer to torture, and Rachel says that the way Obama is presenting it is not the wayshe reads it, and I like Rachel, but my first reaction was "D'uh, you ain't seeing the CLASSIFIED documents that the POTUS is seeing, so of course your "reading" may be different. That don't mean that his or her reading is better than the other."

She reminded why I stopped watching her show. I like the Rachel but she seems to look for shyt to worry about. "He said it was 'a mistake' not 'a crime'". *sigh*

Valerie Jarret set her straight but I don't think it made a difference to Rachel.

She's too liberal for me.

Howard Fineman tried to rein Keith in by saying that you've got to remember, he is no longer Candidate Obama, he is the President of all these United States, so yes, sometimes he has to take a thin line.

I'm so fugging sick of these folks trying to make names for themselves: Rachel Maddow, Tavis Smiley, and (as of tonight) Roland Martin.

SHYT! If FOX NEWS COULD BE THE "WE_LOVE_George W-BUSH 24/7" NETWORK THEN WHERE DA FUGG IS MY "OBAMA-THON MARATHON LOVE NETWORK 24/7" I want MY MTV DAMMIT!!!

Please pardon my vent.

this is how they shd have viewed it

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/29/obama-tortu...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#30487352

just watched the clip...
what both Keith and Rach are forgetting is that as the president he can't give his final opinion that is why POTUS said mistake...in legal sense mistake of law is still punishable....Keith and Rach shd let Holder do his job....Holder has the final say in the interpretation of the torture memos not the POTUS, or the press

Don't forget Turley.

LMAO! You know if any news channel did for President Obama what the $5 dollar whores at Fox did for Bush, every advertiser would be crushed with emails and letters from the minions who actually think they see "fair and balanced" in the likes of Klannity and Becky.

lol...calm down...they are just trying to keep their JOB
They don't speak for us:)

Fore!!!!!!!!!!!

I just thought this picture was cute.

I'm printing it and hanging it in my cube at work, right along side the one with Tiger and PBO. I'm digging the photographer. He's brilliant!
