Barack and Michelle Plus 3

Hey Guys!
So as you know, the Obama's finally got their new dog. No not a Dalmatian, or a Yorkie, or a Greyhound, as previously reported but a fluffy and friendly Portuguese Water dog.
The new addition to the family was given to the Obama's my senator Ted Kennedy as a gift to the girls.
The sixth month old puppy will definitely make Sasha and Malia happy campers and add to the long legacy of white house dogs alike!

Check Out the Pics of the new Obama Member "BO"..



While writing this I discovered:
Obama is now under fire because "Bo" may not be a rescue dog. Are you confused?
Good. I'll elaborate. Barack and Michelle when first announcing that they would get the girls a dog advocated a lot for rescue dogs, but animal activist are not too sure that Bo is a "real" rescue dog. Yes, Bo was abandonned by his first owners but he never was sent to a shelter or rescue group making him a "quasi-rescue dog" says critics.

But seriously..who cares? Is it THAT serious?
i mean i have two dogs and could care less if they were rescued or not or even if they were pure bred or not! A dog lover is a dog lover..no more no less..PERIOD!

Personally I think Animal Activists should Leave the Obama's alone and let the dog chill! Is Sophia[Oprah's Cocker Spaniel] a rescue..NO!

Disney's Princess Tiana has Jungle Fever?!

Hey Guys!
So briefly here is the scoop. Disney has been working on it's well anticipated debut of its newest movie, The Frog Princess which will star it's first African American Princess, voice of Dreamgirl's Anika Noni Rose this fall. That of course is great...but news of her princes' lighter skin has caused a stir in the African American Community. Sadly enough there has been much outrage over the color of the princes' skin.

Reports have noted that the prince is not actually white but of Hispanic heritage. Either way, many still are not satisfied and doesn't understand why Disney's first Black Princess has to be the only princess to have a prince outside of her race besides her predecessor Pocahontas, who lived happily ever after with John Smith who was white(based on a true story).
What do you think guys?
Are some members of the African American Community being too judgmental?
Should the prince be African American?
Should President Barack Obama have a cartoon? lol [just thought i'd ask lol]

Comment Below your thoughts are appreciated!

PRINCESS AND THE FROG TEASER[COURTESY OF YOUTUBE]

It's about 6am, as I write this but I have got to blog about the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama! The realization of the African American changed at 12:00pm on January 20th. A people of disparity, no longer wanders in sorrow, but rather with their heads lifted. A generation fueled on the excitement of new dance craves sat still and listened to the voice of reason, the voice of vision, and the voice of a leader. No longer does American have to remain in turmoil under the reign of former President Bush, but can now flourish and dream under the direction of President Barack Hussein Obama. Not often are African Americans encouraged to reach for the stars despite their fatigue. Not often are they told you can do it, without the doubt of failure. When in history, has America ever given credit to the African American for their contributions, innovations, and revelations? President Obama did more than win an election. He inspired a nation! His win not only helped signal change in America, but it changed the consciousness of the African American.
Only few leaders are able to shift the thoughts and realities of an entire nation, and Barack Obama, is one of the few. It has been stated over and over, that slaves were kept enslaved not only because of the weaponry that the white man concealed, but more importantly the mental enslavement of the people. The ability of the white man to foster ideologies of failure, stupidity, and white superiority upon the African Americans hindered them significantly more that any gun the white man was able to create. The power to completely handicap the mind and consciousness of a people to believe in their instability as well as their incapability is a great one, and so when the consciousness is shifted, and the faith , will power, and passion is restored there is no obstacle large enough to stop the forces of empowerment.
The inauguration of Barack Obama did just that. It inspired and shifted the thought patterns of a people so negatively and poorly represented. It sparked a fire in me, so bright which will burn until the success I dreamed of is tangible. I no longer doubt my success or have second thoughts of my capabilities. The righteousness and self empowerment I feel is so strong and so healthy that I undoubtedly believe that anything is possible and that I can truly do anything I ever wanted or dreamed. Inspiration like the one President Obama gives to me and others like me is rare and undeniable. It truly is a commodity to find someone or something capable of uplifting an entire race, and culture to the extent in which the election of Barack Obama did to Africans Americans, and America as a whole. Comparable to the shift of consciousness that took place some 40+ years ago when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to America from the Lincoln Memorial. There is no greater feeling than the one given when one’s whole being is convinced of their prosperity and future accomplishments!
