Barack and Michelle Obama Visit the White House

Yesterday, Barack Obama got a close up look at his new stomping grounds for the next four years as he was given a tour of the Oval Office by President Bush in their first official meeting. The incoming president described his new office as “pretty nice.” First Lady Laura Bush took Michelle Obama to her new domain – the East Wing. Then, Laura and Michelle rejoined Bush and Obama to check out the private residence where the Obamas, along with their daughters Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7, will live. The Obamas also met with Coast Guard Admiral Stephen Rochon (director … Continue reading →

Huckabee Joins Fox and Cusack Joins Team Obama

If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em. That could be Mike Huckabee’s new mantra. The former Republican presidential hopeful plans to join the profession that he infamously slammed while serving as governor of Arkansas. Huckabee announced that he has accepted a new job at Fox News Channel as a political commentator. The ordained Baptist preacher turned politico will reportedly aid Fox as it navigates through the muddy waters of the 2008 presidential elections. The former governor dropped out of the presidential race in March, after John McCain won enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination. “I hope to bring the … Continue reading →

Meghan McCain Follows in Jenna Bush’s Footsteps

Her father has yet to secure the job presently held by George W. Bush (though he’s gunning for it), but that’s not stopping Meghan McCain from trying to emulate current first daughter Jenna Bush.

Meghan McCain’s … Continue reading →

What is Up with Barbra Streisand?

I will be the first to admit that Barbra Streisand is very, very talented. In this day and age of “stars” like Lindsay Lohan, Barbra is a throwback to a time when the truly talented could both act and sing. But one thing I have never liked is her liberal political point of view. I appreciate her zeal, but I wish celebrities would realize that when they mix their personal convictions with their professional life, they might suffer consequences. She has had two run-ins with fans in the last month due to her political views. In early October, she appeared … Continue reading →

A Crazy Week in Politics

I really do not pay a whole lot of attention to what goes on in politics. I mean, I do pay attention to key elections (such as president), but for the most part, I just do not get into politics. But this week was so crazy – it is hard to not notice what is going on. First, there was Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez calling President Bush “the devil.” What is up with this guy? And it is not like he said it at home, in his house. No, he said it in front of the United Nations! He went … Continue reading →
