A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
In anticipation of the first State Dinner Tonight:
Good Morning.
As you go through your day, don’t forget JJP.
Drop those links. Engage in debate. Give us trivia and gossip too.
And always, have a peaceful day.

Three events for Michelle on Tuesday: 9:15 am the Obamas welcome the Singhs to the White House–big production. 2 pm an event in the East Room on the history and protocol of state dinners. 7 pm the Obamas welcome the Singhs on the North Portico and the rest of the event follows. Wonder if she’ll wear 3 new outfits?
All three will be live streamed by the White House. C-Span will not do the afternoon event but will air the others plus the presidents press conference. C-Span’s broadcast appears to be after the evening event. Will start at 9 pm and promises Michelle’s pre-dinner remarks about the dinner (maybe the afternoon event?), guests on their arrival and the toasts.
