Today is Barack Obama’s 100th day in office and the one thing these last hundred days have shown me, if not the world, is that 2 Black people can love each other. The Obama’s have changed the face of America. It has shown me a glimpse into what a family can be. My home girl and I recently had a discussion of Barack Obama’s importance. She even went as far to say that sometimes she wish he didn’t get elected.

“We were a silent, hidden thought in the folds of oblivion, and we have become a voice that causes the heavens to tremble.”
There is no doubt that due to the work of Martin Luther King and other civil rights activist, that Jan 20th 2009 would not have been possible. The swearing in of the nation’s first Black President, not a descendant of slaves, but Black nonetheless. Tuesday in my extreme joy, I sent out a tweet stating that when you go to sleep and close your eyes do so, knowing that the most powerful man in the world is a Black man. So which someone replies “Wrong, MLK was that first…” I paraphrase, but basically he stated Martin Luther King was the most powerful man in the world when he was alive. With all due respect to Dr. King, but he was far from the most powerful man in the world..
What do you think, Who was more powerful? Martin Luther King or Barack Obama?
Simply Beautiful. I can’t imagine what was going through Beyonce’s mind at the moment all I know is she looked like she wanted to break down. As the first couple danced they panned the room and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was simply beautiful. I only wish she would let me love her like Barack Obama loves Michelle Obama. If you don’t have B’s version of At Last here you go.

Obama’s Remarks at the Neighboorhood ball
“This campaign was organized neighborhood by neighborhood,” said Obama, calling himself a neighborhood kind of guy – at a ball in the Washington Convention Center where tickets were dispensed for little cost to a lot of people. He cut his teeth on neighborhood work, he told the crowd.
“And if you think about it, neighborhood starts with neighbor,” Obama said. “This ball is the one which captures best, I think, the spirit of this campaign… We are going to need you… because together we are going to change America.” Source
Jay-Z stopped by Carol’s Daughter for a soft opening of their store at the Pentagon City Mall in VA, he’s also performing at the HSAN Ball. It’s a pretty big accomplishment for kid from the projects to be making so many big moves. After all Jay-Z is in the new President’s Ipod.
One New York paper is actually asking for Obama to offer Hip Hop a little bit of help of it’s own stating the since Obama will be the first President who has
Jay-Z and Kanye West on his iPod, the first one who speaks the culture’s language, the first one who embraces its mannerisms, from fist-bumping with his wife to throwing his hands in the air and waving like he just don’t care…
Could a hip hop bail out be in the works?
