Michelle Obama Hits Up Lettermen then heads to Fundraiser In Tribeca /

Like always, Michelle Obama is standing by her man. Yesterday, the first lady stopped by David Letterman to record an episode of the Late Night Show, to be aired later in the week. While I don't expect any hardcore political smackdowns from the first lady, it was interesting to watch her take a swing at Congress on behalf of her husband. Take a look!



 NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 19:  First Lady Michelle Obama leaves 'Late Show with David Letterman' at Ed Sullivan Theater on March 19, 2012 in New York City.
Immediately following her stint with Lettermen, Mrs. Obama was photographed heading to Tribeca, New York where she met up with A-list celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Robert DeNiero, Beyonce Knowles and Ben Stiller for an Obama re-election fundraiser. The first lady showed up to the event around 9 p.m. in a stunning black and silver, sleeveless gown.

Other guests included Lauren Santo Domingo and the infamous Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. Beyonce showed up with her mother and mother-in-law.

Ann Romney: "I Don't Consider Myself Wealthy" (she could be your next first lady) /


Ann Romney says that being worth $200 million isn't considered wealthy-- okay, okay, okay, that's not really what she said, however it is the way it's being reported. I have to say that liberals have taken Ms. Romney's comments completely out of context. I believe it was a failed attempt to sound normal and un-rich--again, failed attempt. Do I feel sorry for the Romney campaign, for the beating that they're taking as a result of Ann's comment? Nope. Republicans did the same thing to Michelle Obama in 2008. Remember this comment?

President Obama Meets With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu For First Time In a Year /

For the first time in a year, President Obama met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Iran's nuclear program. They assured the rest of the world that the bond between America and Israel is "unbreakable" --both countries concluding that a nuclear Iran would be unacceptable.

Obama's Approval Rating Shoots Up, While Republicans Duke It Out For His Job /


If you enjoy seeing Obama's oversized, pearly white smile, there has never been a better time to catch it than now! While Republicans continue going after one another in an attempt to win their party's nomination for president, President Obama sits comfortably at a 50 percent approval rating--up from 43 percent. Obama's upswing has a lot to do with the improving economy. Last month, applications for unemployment fell to a four-year low, the economy expanded by 2.8 percent, and the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent--a two-year low. The graph below shows that Obama crushes the competition when put in a head-to-head match up with any of the GOP contenders, including Mitt Romney.

President Obama Launches 'African Americans for Obama' /

Perhaps I'm wrong for this, but I question any black person in this country--Democrat or Republican--who doesn't support this black man for president. I mean, I could see if it were Jesse Jackson or Rev. Al (I love them both, but they're completely out of step with mainstream America), but this man is smart and intelligent, and furthermore, his policies benefit "99 percent" of our country's population. Am I ingnorant for thinking that every black person in America (the descendents of slaves) should support Obama for president? Sound off.

P.S. Here's some footage of Kerry Washington volunteering at the Obama campaign headquaters in Miami. Got to love her!

P.S. Here's some footage of what's happening on the streets of Oakland, Ca.--the heart of where the most police brutality is occurring.
