Opening Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial
We are almost all awake (well 3 out of 7 that are staying in my studio apartment) and ready to attend the Inaugural Celebration! I am personally excited about Beyonce, Queen Latifah and James Taylor!!!!


It will be a goody! A cold one and I might add that the local Target has literally run out of the following:
Air Mattresses
Thermals
Tights
Hand Warmers
Foot Warmers and low on anything that is warm- it is doggy dog in DC right now with the frigid temperatures!

REMEMBER DRESS WARM. . . .

Brilliant Marketing!

Pepsi really out did themselves with their Marketing in a Metrorail Station!
1. Placement of advertising: L’enfant Plaza- heavy traffic, more heavily traversed station among the black community

2. Key wording: Soul, All for One, the only one that was off was “Howdy” but I think they threw that one in for me!

3. The Pepsi sign was manipulated just a little and turned slightly to look like Obama’s campaign signage

4. Timing of course: around the Inauguration (it must have cost them a small fortune!) Good work Pepsi!

(I still prefer Coke, however you did do a great spice something or other during the holidays one year- you should bring that back!)

What are you most excited about?
The actual Inauguration. . .
or. . .

Please make a few comments, tell me WHAT you think!

I have to say that I am excited to have been “picked” (along with thousands of others to volunteer) and you KNOW when they called me and said “Do you own any formal wear?” of course my answer was “YES!” Do you think I owned any these days with the current economic state? The answer was NO. However, my mother the moderate republican (I know I used to be one too) took me straight to the Macy’s sale rack and I found a stunning black dress! I am sure that because I bought the dress I will be put on the clean up crew after on the National Mall or something, but I WILL BE WEARING THE DRESS!!!!

Separately of course I am just so thrilled to be in our Nation’s Capitol to Witness the great event!
I have to admit I am also excited for the following:
I am am proud owner of the Barack Obama Commemorative Smartrip Card (I had a google alert on it and was all stressed out that I wouldn’t get one!)

I hope to see Gordon Sumner aka Sting and invite him over. . . and I tell you. . . I just think Rihanna has got to be the most gorgeous woman alive!!! Do you think she would like to hang out?

Also, if anyone hears about the following I would like to know: Snoop, Bono, Bea Arthur or frankly any of the Golden Girls and Fran Drescher. That is my random Hollywood list and out of sorts for my blog but I had to mix it up a little!

YES WE DID: and the Streets of DC felt like a community. . .

Since the year I moved to DC I have not felt such passion, such excitement, and invigoration among the community!!!! DC was as the youth of today would say “OFF THE CHAIN” last night!

The District voted 93% for Senator, now President Elect Obama so it wasn’t a surprise when there was shouting, screaming, horns honking, people hanging out of cars, random people hugging, all of these actions that I enjoy but are so rare in Washington.

I spoke to a couple of first time voters- two were students at GW, and one gentlemen was from the District, 30 years old and a first time voter! Two videos below have footage of these great individuals! The night was full of firsts and unforgettable. Every blog will have a different story and I know I will have more stories to share.

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth — that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes We Can.


~PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

I think Wyclef Jean said it the best . . .

President

Election times coming.
Who you gonna vote for?

If I was President,
I’d get elected on Friday,
Assasinated on Saturday,
Burried on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday.
If I was President, If I was President, If I was President

Instead of spendin’ Billions on the war,
I could use that money so I can feed the poor.
Cause I know some so poor, when it rains that’s when they shower
Screamin’ “Fight the power!” That’s when the vulture devours.

If I was President,
I’d get elected on Friday,
Assasinated on Saturday,
Burried on Sunday. Then go back to work on Monday
If I was President, If I was President, If I was President.

I know some soldiers that sleep but they can’t dream,
Wake up with screams, sounds of them succeed.
So take this medal of honor for your bravery,
I wish you the best care for you and your family.

If I was President,
I’d get elected on Friday,
Assasinated on Saturday,
Burried on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday.
If I was President, If I was President, If I was President.

But the radio won’t play this. They call it rebel music.
How can you refuse it? Children of Moses.

Tell the children the truth, the truth.
It’s not all that bling that’s dimonds.
Tell them the truth, the truth.
Most of yall wear cubics of zycomians.
Tell them the truth, the truth.
Your soldiers worth more than diamonds.

Yeah, If I was President
All blacks have reperation no segregation
Feed the nation until there’s no famine Muslims, Jews, Christians
would all hold hands, every week on the beach party by the sand
Word up, take trips on Air Force One,
No need to bring no homless with no sneaks to Air Force One.
Better schools in the hood, better teachers for the classes,
making money, paying no taxes.
Find the best scientist tell’em come up with an answer, I want the
cure for aids and cancer. But I gotta watch my back sniper gonna
heal with the steel waitin for JFK.

If I was President, If I was President.
I’d get elected on Friday,
Assasinated on Saturday,
Burried on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday.
If I was President, If I was President.
I feel the rain comming let me play the guitar for them right now.
(let’s go)

Rescue g’s
