-- I'm a black woman who never thought I'd see a powerful, beautiful female with a body like mine in the White House. Then I saw Michelle Obama -- and her booty!
But what really thrills me, what really feels liberating in a very personal way,
is the official new prominence of Michelle Obama. Barack's better half not only
has stature but is statuesque. She has corruscating intelligence, beauty, style
and -- drumroll, please -- a butt. (Yes, you read that right: I'm going to talk
about the first lady's butt.)

Watch out, new world order...In the wake of the Obama win, Accounts Receivable gives Accounts Payable a little heads up about exactly what kind of "change" Obama was really talking about all those months on the trail. Payable is NOT going to like this. Not one bit. But he needs to know. And Accounts Receivable is the man to tell him. Accounts Receivable is a really good friend, you know?

Richard Pryor gives and press conference as the first black President. With topics ranging from black people in space to black NFL coaches . This is not only hysterical, it's also amazingly accurate in parts.
Deciding the fate of the shuttle is particularly time-sensitive. If the government decides to fly more shuttle missions, it could impact how quickly NASA can move forward with a shuttle replacement, set to be ready to fly by March 2015.
(CNN) -- The nation's sagging economy is expected to be in the spotlight Friday as President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden hold their first news conference since the election.
One of George Bush's many disasters was neglecting the world's poor, which created more desperation and potential recruits for Al Qaeda.
President-elect Barack Obama understands the importance of fighting global poverty, from both a humanitarian and a national security perspective.
Let's encourage Obama to keep his promise to fight global poverty.

Now that we have a new president, it's time to tell him: stick to your promises to help the world's poor. In these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever for our new president to hear from us that fighting global poverty is still a priority. Tell President-elect Obama that you're counting on him to keep his campaign promises:
Tell him that one of the keys to helping the world's poor is prioritizing maternal and child health. In the developing world, one woman every minute dies needlessly in childbirth. These women aren't dying because the health community doesn't know how to prevent their deaths; they are dying because the world is failing to help. As you may know, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty through the empowerment of women. Women and girls, when equipped with the proper resources, have the power to help their families and entire communities escape poverty. Tell the president-elect to make fighting poverty a central part of his foreign policy. Ask him to stand with you in solidarity with the 1.4 billion people who live on a little more then a dollar a day ... the 72 million children who are not in school today ... the one woman who dies every minute from pregnancy-related causes. Thank you for your support, |
