MORE THOUGHTS ON INAUGURATION WEEK

Listen up America! Whatever happens 2 U, happens to me first! Pay attention.

*After the National Nightmare (and the International Nightmare), The Dream Comes True
Bush #2, Then Obama, who is #1.

*Bill Clinton-one step 4ward
Bush #2- two steps back
Obama-move2 the front of the line! U have won the race!
(why do u think they call it "race"?)

*OMG! Oprah and Obama! Talk about Black Power!
(Note 2 White People, don't get scared. PEACE

*BTW, now everyone can get off Oprah's back, b/c she first gave an interview to Michelle and Barack Obama on her show 4 his books "AND" purportedly gave "whatever it takes" to put him out there. Rappers take note. PEACE AND U-N-I-T-Y.

*Trailblazing film director and producer Spike Lee comments that history is now...
B.B-Before Barack, and A.B.-After Barack. Wow!

*Speaking of MY PRESIDENT-MILKING OBAMA-Cashing in on the Barack-star. What's next? I admit, I just bought a bottle of Barack Water @ 7-11! I bought Obama cookies two weeks ago. They had his face on the cookies. I couldn't resist. I bought my
t-shirts early, back in February 2008, so I could sleep w/him every night. I was going to buy the life-size cardboard cut-out of him, so I could "take Obama home w/me", but a Latino guy was laughing at my comment and I would have looked ridiculous carrying him around. I wonder what's next? Obama underwear, so u can feel intimate w/ him?

*WE THE PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, allowed Bush #2 & Co. 2 ru(i)n this beautiful country (USA) into the ground. And our taxes paid 4 it!

*OBAMA's economic recovery plan (stimulus). Finally an economic recovery plan 4 the American people! U see,for eight looooonnnng years, many Americans realized that we were treated as enemies. Under OBAMA, we are united. Under Bush #2, well, he's the divider!

*Politics for the Non-Political- This I know 4 sure: it matters unequivocally whom u vote 4. All Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President. They are NOT elected and they are Supreme Court Justices 4 THE REST OF THEIR LIVES! They decide what your rights are and how u will live your life. I learned this in my American Government and Legal Studies classes in 2000, B.B.

*Politics and History for the Non-Political-This I also know 4 sure: The Democratic Party was founded in 1792 by non other than President Thomas Jefferson. His reasoning was to fight the "elitists" (the Federalist Party?) The Democrats are well-known 4 fighting 4 women's rights, the civil rights battles, child welfare laws being enacted, the social safety net 4 those who may slip through the cracks,and a fair progressive income tax. Democrats are well-known for INCLUDING rather than EXCLUDING people.

*Some of the celebrities spotted in Washington, DC during inauguration week: Oprah of course, George Clooney, Hayden Panettiere, Jamie Foxx, Beyonce', Samuel L. Jackson, Usher, Mary J. Blige, the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, Jay-Z, Larry King, Diddy, and all the political pundits. It was a festive occasion indeeed. (If I left out any notables, sorry.)

INAUGURATION FEVER!!!

Okay. I have been very excited about the inauguration of MY PRESIDENT, but I am having trouble seeing how over one million people from all over, will fit comfortably in my tiny hometown, a great city by the way! Don't get me wrong, I know this is an historical event and I am so proud to have helped out in my own small way, but already I have witnessed buses from Montana, Wyoming and New York streaming into DC, the Capital City. Traffic is already more of a mess than ususal and I am just having a hard time imagining how this will play out, what with DC bars and restaurants and other venues open 24-7 or until 4 am for inaugration week. Obama-mania is in full effect (party like Barack-star, he's totally cooool), but I can't even imagine it. Washington, DC is used to tourists year round. We love our tourists (unless we are in a hurry) and we respect our tourists and will even stop walking while they take pictures of the monuments (sometimes) and continue walking once they are through, but... millions all at once? I just can't imagine. Hey Mayor Fenty, what are you gonna do for the homeless in DC for inauguration week? Are you a) gonna get them off the streets so that everyone sees the capital city in a new light (change?) or are you b) gonna let them stay out there and rack up some big time food and money like the vendors and other businesses are gonna do (hope)?
History is being made, right here, right now. All eyes are on my hometown.
