This young man was granted a visit to the White House and asked a simple enough question to our President; “Can he feel his hair, to see if it felt just like his?”

Barack Obama being elected President of the United States is a monumental occurrence for so many around the world.

In a Livesteez report, First Lady Michelle O speaks on maintaining normalcy while operating as “Mom-in-Chief”:

As her husband, President-elect Barack Obama prepares to become the nation’s new Commander-in-Chief, Michelle Obama has coined a new title for herself – Mom-in-Chief – one she proudly admits to inventing.

But the First Lady isn’t worried about the transition and is ready to weather the storm, as long as she can still fix her girls’ hair and put them to bed at night, according to OK!. Michelle adds, her only concern is that she wishes she could pull herself together as fast as her husband does. “Barack puts on his suit, tie and he’s out the door,” she recently told “The View.” “I’m getting my hair, makeup, the kids…” Meanwhile, the CIC is pulling double duty as well. Barack Obama may be the new president, but when it comes to being involved in his girls life, he’s present for parent-teacher meetings, ballet recitals and reading Harry Potter, just like most parents across the country. Before jetting off to the White House Monday, he kissed his daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, goodbye and dropped them off at school.

Check out Mr. President on the Cover of Us with the girls.

And as a special treat for you, can you guess who this cutie pie is? Continue »

The pretty girls of the first family, Sasha and Malia have been invited to appear on Hannah Montana:

Disney’s hit show Hannah Montana just went from a little bit country to potentially presidential! On Monday, Billy Ray Cyrus told Access Hollywood that President-Elect Barack Obama’s two young daughters have been asked to appear on the Disney Channel’s hit show. Cyrus, whose own daughter Miley Cyrus is the star, said producers have asked Malia, 10, and Sasha Obama, 7, to take part in an episode possibly around April.

“They probably will. The invitation is there,” Cyrus said, adding, “You know the Hannah Montana film comes out in April. Maybe something might happen around then.” When pressed for details, Cyrus said, “I can’t, I can’t. I have got to keep a secret.” In interviews, the President-Elect has said Malia is a big fan of Hannah Montana.

The Obamas, however, have made a priority of shielding both girls from the media, so it will be interesting to see if the deal actually happens. On Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus plays a school girl with a secret life as a pop star. As for what she thinks of the opportunity, Miley, who turns 16 later this month, said, “I think that would be really cool and if anything, have them visit the set.”

In our mention of the Cheetah Girls skank, we forgot to tack on baby ho. We surely hope the Obamas are aware of all of the hos-in-the-making they have running around at the Disney lot before letting them have contact with the girls.

::: Update::: The Obama camp is unaware of an invitation to appear on the show:

President-elect Barack Obama’s two young daughters haven’t been asked to appear on Disney’s Hannah Montana, a source within the Obama camp tells Usmagazine.com.

Billy Ray Cyrus — the father of Hannah Montana singer Miley Cyrus — told Access Hollywood on Monday that Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, “probably will” appear on an episode in April. “The invitation is there,” he said. But the Obama source tells Us, “Folks within Obama-land know of no such request.” Still, Miley wouldn’t mind having them around. “I think that would be really cool and, if anything, have them visit the set,” she said. After all, Miley noted, “They are kind of like me before I started my own career.”

Uh, no, no they’re not. Not at all.

The flyest presidential couple ever to grace the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama, went out last night in Chicago for dinner.

Before you peep the pics below, check out a few Liveteez’s 8 Steps Black People Must Follow Under President Obama:

2. As “Black People,” we can no longer say that we do not know a family like the Huxtables, now we will say “I know one better, they live in the White House.”

3. “Black People” cannot abuse these four words, ‘My President is Black’. Which means do not pull into McDonald’s drive-thru and tell the person at the window, “I can have it my way, because ‘My President is Black.’” Drive across the street to Burger King.

5. Fellas, do not shoot up your whole ‘hood’, then expect “Black People” to stand behind you. That’s just plain ol’ stupidity and we won’t have any excuses for your black behind.

6. Ladies, be responsible for your actions and don’t allow yourselves to get pregnant by a no-good dude, then name the baby Obama-ichelle, and think that it’s okay. “Black People” and the Department of Family and Children Services will still look at you the same.

President Obama has selected Rahm “Rahmbo” Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff:

Rep. Rahm Emanuel accepted Barack Obama’s offer to become his chief of staff yesterday in a move that’s sure to bring a sharp edge the White House. Over the last 15 years, the hot-tempered Chicago congressman has been one of the Democratic Party’s most formidable brawlers, a political force of nature known for tabletop tirades and unabashed fund-raising. The 48-year-old Emanuel’s brashness is so legendary it inspired the character of White House aide Josh Lyman on “The West Wing.”Democratic strategist Paul Begala once described him as a “cross between a hemorrhoid and a toothache.” Republicans immediately slammed his ascension to the top White House post, according to the NY Post. “This is an ironic choice for a president-elect who has promised to change Washington, make politics more civil, and govern from the center,” House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said. But Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton – in her first public appearance since Obama was elected – said last night that Emanuel was “an excellent choice . . . He gets things done.”

It looks like our president elect is already making good on his word to bring change. He’s begun to set up his cabinet with folks that are passionate and who adamantly strive to make a difference. Yes We Can!!!!!!!!

Bey’s no do-do and recognizes the historical victory that we’ve won and offers to do whatever it takes to further it:

If Barack Obama needs a singer for Inauguration Day in January, he can count on Beyonce Knowles. “I’m there. I can’t wait,” she told the Associated Press. “I feel like all of us, we’re ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want — if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready.” She said that she was supposed to be in Japan on election night, promoting her new album, I Am … Sasha Fierce. At the last minute, she opted to stay home. “I said, ‘What am I doing? I’m completely making a bad decision. I have to go home. I’m gonna kill myself if I’m not home in America,”‘ said the singer. “I knew I needed to be here.” After he won, she said she “fell asleep crying and smiling at the same time. I woke up with mascara running and a smile on my face!”

We wonder what kind of performance she would put on for this momentous occasion. Stans, any suggestions?

Here’s the First Family on the cover of Jet magazine. Don’t you wish Bush and his whole family could be crated and dropped off in the middle of Iraq and President Obama could just start today?

Check out another Obama cover, a beautiful oil painting of First Lady Michelle and Sasha Obama which is on display at The New Museum on the Lower East Side of NYC and one more of our first family.

Green Party representative Ralph Nader, who only polled 1% (513,347) of the votes, had the audacity to pose the question of whether Obama would be an Uncle Sam for America or an Uncle Tom for the big corporations. Watch as the reporter check his pasty @ss with the quickness and let’s him know that he’s been “reduced to irrelevancy.”
