Michelle Obama Dress

I was browsing for the news on the internet tonight and found out that there is so much hoopla going on about Michell Obama Dress for the Inauguration.

Personally, I find her choice of dresses quite refreshing for a first lady that shows a sense of humor and a sense of style that is practical, smart, interestingly eclectic but always mindful of her position. The overall effect is stylishly beautiful and dignified and not overdressed as some women of position are wont to do.

Besides, what lady can not feel beautiful if one’s husband obviously swoons on her while asking the crowd “First of all, how good-looking is my wife?”

David Letterman Felt Like An Ugly Date

Obviously, Letterman felt peeved upon learning that Senator John McCain did not immediately go to Washington to attend the bailout plan meeting but instead he went to get interviewed by Kathie Couric of the other TV station. The presidential candidate was supposed to be the guest that same night but instead called Letterman to postpone his appearance with the alibi of going to the Washington immediately.

Just wondering how could Senator McCain did it if he has a prior agreement with Letterman. Whosoever on the same shoes of Letterman would actually get disappointed at the very least, or as Letterman said, he felt like an ugly date.

Here’s David Letterman’s riff on Senator John McCain due to the latter’s non-appearance on his show:



Further, as McCain would rather postpone his debate with Obama today, there is doubt when they will be having their first debate in the future. I sure hope the debate will push through soonest as I think it will be going to be very interesting.

Obama Might Lose Presidency

I cannot believe this. Recent research poll shows that Obama could lose his bid for Presidency due to his race especially if the election is close.

Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks – many calling them “lazy”, “violent” people in their midst.

I have been curious about Obama’s journey from a mere senator to a presidential candidate. While I have not been following the US elections closely, I still favor Obama as the probable next US President due to his promise of change.

A cousin have been telling me proudly that racial discrimination in the US is starting to get eliminated due to massive information as well as the support of legislative laws that encourage race equality. However, reading the news about the abovementioned poll, this somehow contradicts with the nation’s supposedly thrust to minimize racial discrimination and to encourage racial equality. It is as if that only the blacks have the “lazy” or “violent” people in their midst. It is as if the whites or other colors do not have those kinds of people. Sounds like too childish way of thinking, huh!

Would it be better if people judge not their president for their color but to what they can do? Aren’t people more educated, more informed, more aware, more involved to distinguish that there is more to color than meets the eye?

Now, am more curious as to the outcome of the coming US elections.

Incidentally, there are unconfirmed news of one of Obama’s staunchest ally being dead. Oprah Winfrey was supposedly found dead in her home yesterday. However, this seems to be more hoax than truth.
