Song legend Stevie Wonder took a hard spill last night while walking up steps to the stage at a star-studded rally for presidential candidate Barack Obama. Luckily, Barack’s wife Michelle Obama was there to break his fall. This might not bode well for Obama who doesn’t need any bad luck at this stage of the game.
Other celebs in attendance at the Obama rally included his biggest supporter Oprah Winfrey. Wonder, 57, has been blind since infancy after he was given too much oxygen at birth which led him to develop a disorder which eventually caused his retinas to detach. (Source)

This must be first for him, live. Hope he’s okay. I thought he usually has someone assist him to the podium or up stairs? I have never seen him fall. I like Obama’s wife. Such a classy lady and very pretty.
I feel so bad for Stevie I hope he didn’t hurt himself & as for you Sandra as you can see in the first pic he is giving you the finger for even posting this damn picture!!!!!
LoL…thanks for pointing that out Ms. Peaches. I didn’t even catch that.
LOL @ Ms. Peaches - I totally missed the finger
Sandra is either being superstitious or just silly with this one. A blind man’s fall is in no way a bad omen.
If a Democrat is elected as next President.. Oh Happy Day Black America!
Well he IS blind afterall…
How is this newsworthy?? The man is BLIND!
wow
Shame on you, Sandra.
Okay, I’m moving on.
Okay, I’m back.
Why is Mrs. Obama the only one helping him up? Where was Oprah?
I do Stevie is Ok. Sandra what was the point in this posting. How is newsworthy to post a blind man falling and then attribute to an omen on the presidential election. I guess if you fall down or trip what does that mean for the blog????:
Stevie is being honored at the NAACP Image awards next week, God Bless him. Aretha too….have some respect Sandra!!
lol at the finger comment
Why would a blind man falling bring bad luck to Obama’s campaign? Did Obama trip the man and we missed the pictures? If it matter which I don’t believe it would, Michelle rushing to his aid has to be a good thing.
GET OUT AND VOTE FOLKS!!!!
obama’s wife held his hand as if she she was holding the hand of a seeing person.
poor thing.
republican whites are crossing the party line here in georgia to vote for hilary.
Damn, slow news day huh? Gotta report on an old, blind man tripping. Where’s Rihanna today, Standra?
ROTFL with the finger comment… i didnt even catch that!!!
Wow
My goodness just looked at Oprah…she always looks so different out of her studio lighting….
@ LAChick
Oprah’s has an award-winning lighting staff–no joke, they do amazing work!

I couldn’t agree with you more Butter babyeeee! If she didn’t help the man THEN it would suck. But honest who would just let him fall and sit there? Only some non human, heartless, evil droid!
