That swagger....













Don't hurt me Michelle!!!

There were some rumblings about Barack being Versace's muse for her Spring/Summer 2009 collection but that is not the case. According to Fashion Week Daily, the collection was inspired by the "modern man with a laid back relaxed look/attitude. Not Obama himself".

Tim Russert

Since hearing the news on Friday of Meet the Press moderator and Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert's passing, I've been at a loss on what to say.

With having said that, I will let those who can better articulate what Tim meant to not only the world of politics but to every life he touched:

Tom Brokow announcing the news on MSNBC:



His son Luke gave such a beautiful interview to Matt Lauer:

Meet the Press' tribute to Tim was sad and funny at the same time. The commentators celebrated, rather than mourned Timmy:

Wonketter's video tribute (love the pics):

It's weird for Tim to be called home now, especially considering how historical and unprecedented this year's election is turning out. Tim wasn't just a commentator or a reporter, he was a truth seeker. Who else is going to make these politicians sweat or have members of the press cramming like finals week before an appearance on Meet the Press? Tim didn't just report on politics. He is/was politics.

Rest in Peace Timmy.

YES WE CAN!!!

It's official: Barack Obama is the presumptive democratic presidential nominee.

Hilary Clinton, per her speech 15 seconds ago, is not making a decision tonight. I think it's pretty obvious the decision has been made for her.

UPDATE: A photo finally made its way online of the dap between Barack & Michelle right before he gave his speech as the official presumptive democrative nominee. Those two look so in love. It' s a beautiful thing.
