Dig President-elect Barack Obama’s presidential portrait – the first ever to be taken with a digital camera. As we expected, Obama’s ready to hit the ground running:

As a candidate, Barack Obama promised to govern according to “a new kind of politics, a politics that focused not just on how to win but why we should.” At a time when the challenges we face in this country are so vast, we cannot afford to abandon the movement we’ve built. We have to strengthen it,” Obama said. “We must build a movement for change that can endure beyond a single election.”

We have no doubt that he can mobilize the folks of this country to pull ourselves out from under the shadows of the Bush Administration & right-wing rule. Only 5 days left
to a new era.

    OMG! In less than a week the momemtum is going to shift “our” way! We waited 8 years for this change.

    And to ALL OF MY PEOPLE attending the inauguration-
    YOU ARE ATTENDING AN INAUGURATION NOT AN ALL-STAR GAME!!! Please don’t go to DC just to “make-it rain on strippers” and pop champaigne. These are balls not clubs.

  • Sydney

    I’m so excited!

    Bush is giving his last address tonight. We will no longer be subjected to his mispronunciations and other English language transgressions, impish looks, lies, etc. Yes!!

    LOL @ Raquel

  • Adrienne

    We love you Obama and I can’t wait to see this picture go up in all the federal buildings so in the morning when I get to work I can look over and see Obama and Bidens pic instead of Bush and Cheneys….UGH!!!!

    On a side note, Eric Holder is also scheduled to go before the Senate judiciary commitee today for his confirmation hearing — If confirmed, he will be the nation’s first black attorney general.

    I printed this off as a 8×10 and I’m gonna hang it next to my desk in my office. Congratulations to you Mr. President

    Also, Essence.com has a piece today about recent police shootings of black men, FYI. The writer interviewed the parents of Adolph Grimes of N.O.:

    http://www.essence.com/news_entertainment/news/articles/police_black_men_killings?xid=011509-ENews-Thursday-GrimesHeader

    Grimes is just one of several young Black men who have been shot by law enforcement in the last few days. Mass protests have swept the city of Oakland after the New Year’s Eve shooting death of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, after he was shot by a BART transit police officer while he lay face down on the train platform. His family is now suing the BART Transit system for $25 million dollars. Then there is 23-year-old Robbie Tolan, who is recovering from gunshot wounds in his liver and lung after being shot on New Year’s Eve by a Houston police officer in his own driveway. Police say they were investigating what they believed was a stolen vehicle. The police department and a spokesperson for the Houston District Attorney’s office in the Tolan case have issued statements about initiating an investigation. However, the Grimes family says they’ve heard nothing about an investigation into their son’s death.

    Hi Lauren!

  • lala#1

    Something to think about… ( sorry could not attach the pictures)

    … the little black girl who had to be escorted to school by federal marshals. “On November 14, 1960, nearly 42 years ago, Bridges faced hostile crowds as the first black child to attend a previously all-white New Orleans school. She was 6 years old and had only been told by her mother that she was going to be attending a new school that day and ‘had better behave.’ Little did she know that she would be bombarded with jeers and even death threats, and that she would end up being the sole child in her first grade class after other children were kept home by their parents.” All because Ruby was Black.

    Forty-eight years later — January 5, 2009 — here is a picture of Sasha Obama, a little 7 year old Black girl, being escorted to school by her mother, First Lady-elect Michelle Obama, and the Secret Service because Sasha’s daddy is now President-elect of the United States, Barack Obama.

  • Sexy N Sassy

    I’m sorry I’m not feeling this picture. I’m sure they could have took a better one. I’ve seen plenty of better pictures of him.

    What should have been said underneath the pic, Whats wrong with this picture?

  • http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/Site%20Index.htm We "Blacks" Are The Real Hebrew Israelites

    Yaaaay Obama. I am realistic though. I mean dude doesn’t have nail holes in his wrist and feet or anything…but I remain optimistic.

    He needs to watch out for hungry ass White interns who like to keep semen stained dresses for months. I could see some Albino bitch trying to get her claws into him. Watch your back Obama! :D

  • Mon

    He is fake as they come.

  • Flawdagurl

    My prayers are with Barrack as you take centerstage. All eyes are on you… I’m so happy.
