Sheree Whitfield Wants To Style Mrs. Obama

Shameless Publicity...Or Did Somebody Really Lose Their Mind

The Obamas

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" reality TV star, Sheree Whitfield, wants the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, to wear clothes from her "She by Sheree" line.

First Lady Michelle Obama

I hope it’s not the see-through blouse you were trying to hock as fashion, during the show that was featured in the papers and online. If so, for the First Lady, it would be a no go - "Nay by Sheree" (kidding).

While, President Obama would probably like that on his wife at home, it is certainly questionable, attempting to outfit the First Lady of any nation, in items from a clothing line that has such skimpy, see-through pieces included in its runway showing.

BRAVO HOST WANTS FIRST LADY IN 'SHE BY SHEREE'

October 28, 2009 - Andy Cohen, the network's Senior Vice President of Original Programming and Development and host of every Bravo reunion show, says he is pushing for Michelle Obama to wear an item from "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Sheree's clothing line...

“I had Michelle Obama’s hairdresser Johnny Wright on last week,” he tells People.com. “And I said, ‘What is it going to take to get the First Lady into a She by Sheree frock?’ And he said that he’s anxiously awaiting what the line presents to see. He said if Sheree creates something great, maybe it will happen. So tonight,” Cohen said. “I’m really pushing for the first lady to wear She by Sheree!’”...

Obama To Address U.S. Deficit

The Obamas

According to published reports, President Barack Obama, stated he is going to address the ever increasing, U.S. deficit. There are way too many zeros in the deficit.

In light of the massive spending that has transpired in the White House and Congress over the past few months, the Judiciary Report does not fathom how that is financially feasible at this particular juncture. The laws of mathematics say it is not. Cut back on the spending.

Obama Lays Plans to Tackle Deficit

OCTOBER 20, 2009 - This has been the year of coping with the economic mess. Next year will be the year of coping with the deficit mess that follows the economic mess.

The Obama White House has come to that conclusion, and is already starting to plan how to go about tackling the job. The effort is likely to start early next year and will include plenty of direct presidential engagement, with equal parts psychology and substance...

No word if the President's successful date extended into he night at the White House, to round off the celebratory event.

Side Bar: it was just an observation and don't pretend I'm the only one that noticed him smirking at her just as they were headed home from the restaurant:

Obama’s Olympic Bid Concession Speech

President Barack Obama, gave a gracious concession speech, regarding the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois, losing the 2016 Olympic Host bid, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Chicago torpedoed by anti-U.S. sentiment?

October 3, 2009 - Some Chicago officials say anti-American resentment likely played a role in Chicago's Olympic bid dying in the first round Friday.

President Obama could not undo in one year the resentment against America that President Bush and others built up for years, they said.

"There must be" resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. "The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans. That's why I thought the president's going was the deal-maker."

State Rep. Susana Mendoza (D-Chicago) said she saw firsthand the resentment against America five years ago when she was in Rio de Janeiro. "I feel in my gut that this vote today was political and mean-spirited," she said.

"I travel a lot. ... I thought we had really turned a corner with the election of President Obama. People are so much more welcoming of Americans now. But this isn't the people of those countries. This is the leaders still living with outdated impressions of Americans."

U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) said she was approached by a consul general at the plaza as they waited for word Friday. "He said ... he was hearing that there wasn't enough time for Barack Obama to dispel the old image. ... But I don't know if that's it." ...

Political scientists report drop in US standing

WASHINGTON — The United States' standing in the world declined in the past decade to below Cold War levels, according to a leading group of political scientists.

Favorable attitudes have risen sharply under President Barack Obama with his commitment to "restore American standing," but confidence in him appears to be in conflict with unfavorable attitudes about U.S. foreign policy, the American Political Science Association said in a report released Thursday.

"Many American leaders and citizens worry that this decline, despite a recent upturn, may be part of a long-term trend, one that will be hard to reverse," the report said...

American standing plunged most sharply in the Middle East and Europe, although authoritarian regimes in the Middle East are more supportive of U.S. policy than they can say publicly, the report said.

In Europe, there is a growing European identity and "a conscious political attempt to delink Europe from American policies," according to the report.

At the United Nations, support for U.S. positions has declined since the 1960s, and the decline was especially pronounced during the George W. Bush administration, the academics said. After some initial success, such as toppling the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the United States grew mired in Iraq and Osama bin Laden remained at large. The success of the troop surge in Iraq may have helped improve attitudes toward the United States, the report said...

"In policy terms, however, most (foreigners) believe that there has been little change in the U.S. disregard for the interests of their country, and that U.S. influence in the world is still mostly bad," the report said.

The American Political Science Association has more than 15,000 members.

Support Wanes For Obama Health Care Plans

First Lady Michelle Obama: Not while we're in public, Barack, later at the White House!

A Rasmussen poll reflects, support for U.S. President Barack Obama's health care initiatives has drastically eroded, waning to 41%. An overwhelming majority of Americans oppose the plans, based on items that have been disclosed in the press and online.

For example, it was revealed yesterday, by the Politico website, there is a proposed clause in the health care plans, that would fine individuals a four figure sum and jail them for one year, if they fail to purchase health insurance.

Health Care Reform - Support for Health Care Plan Hits New Low

Monday, September 28, 2009 - Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan...

Ensign receives handwritten confirmation

This doesn't happen often enough.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."...

Michael Steele: Obama Is Racist

The head of the Republican Party, Michael Steele, has labeled U.S. President Barack Obama, a “racist” for allegedly asking legally blind, New York Governor, David Paterson, not to seek reelection.

Mr. Steele, with all due respect, have you been listening to the Rush Limbaugh show (grin). I do not believe Obama to be a racist for allegedly asking Patterson not to seek a second term. I do believe it has to do with the concern he will lose and cost the Democrats the definitive voice in New York.

President Obama to First Lady Michelle: this is for making me sleep on the couch last night.

However, even if he loses, I do not agree with the White House asking him not to seek another term, as he is the first black man in the post and should be allowed to prove himself, even if his poll numbers are dismal. This goes for any minority as the first representative of their race.

Additionally, a lawful incumbent should be given a chance to prove and or redeem himself or herself.

GOP chief hints racism involved in Obama, Paterson controversy

09.21.09 - It provided for some interesting TV watching yesterday...Appearing on Face the Nation on Sunday, Steele was asked for his thoughts on the report that the president has encouraged embattled New York Governor David Paterson to step aside from next year’s primary.

“I found it to be stunning that the White House would send word to one of only two black governors in the country not to run for re-election,” Steele replied.

“I think Governor Paterson’s numbers are about the same as [New Jersey] Governor Jon Corzine’s numbers yet … I don’t know if there’s been a request made of Governor Corzine to step down in New Jersey.”

Baffled, Schiefer blurted, “You don’t think he’s asked him not to run because he’s black?”

“I don’t think that, but look, you have so few [black governors],” Steele said. “Look, if you’re saying it’s the numbers then why isn’t there a call for those other Democrat governors who have low numbers as well.”

“It’s just a curiosity for me,” Steele said.

Many find it curious that Obama got involved in this at all. Paterson’ is struggling politically as it is. More than 70 percent of New Yorkers don’t want him to run again. Even non-white voters don’t support him...
