“Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around… when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen’…”
— Rev. Joseph Lowery giving the Benediction.
“I do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully …”
— Chief Justice John Roberts during the oath
Funny thoughts. I kind of did not like what our First Lady was wearing. Maybe the Green shoes through me off, and the suit was more so too old for her.
I LOVED her outfit and shoes! She looked FAB as usual. Can’t wait 2 see her 2nite.
@ Anna I didn’t like it either. Reminded me of an elf or troll… damn it she reminded me of Lucky.
@ Post… what’s the point of this post again. You would’ve done better reporting on Kennedy.

I know she is going to glam up for the ball. It is his “swearing in” you have to look more lady like(old). LOL.
Michelle looked fab, you can’t really pay attention to the fashion advice of a lot of these women on here. I see the inappropiate and not age appropiate fashion choices of some of my sistas everyday. Some of y’all think Tiny be looking fly
Michelle looked very classy in her outfit. Give it to them Queen. However, they should have let Frankie do the closing prayer. Holla! Man down! Code 10!
I didnt care for the green shoes or whatever color the color was, but I just like the fact that this was the day we all became one meaning the dream came alive….
**shoes were*
@Mizz I liked the shoe color matched her gloves and brought it all together.
@ppl who thought she looked old or the outfit was old Shelly is no spring chicken and is 1st lady. She has to keep it classy. She will be fly at the ball tonight im sure.
I love Rev Lowery I thought he was great and we have all heard those sayings before..lol

Funny. The only pic I thought Tiny looked pretty in is the one on the left.
@daisy
you know what I want to see her in some nice stileetos but I keep forgetting that obama is short compared to michelle height..
…That’s not the correct quote…
It should say:
I do solemly swear that I will FAITHFULLY execute the office of president of the United States…
That’s why Obama paused when he was giving the speech…
I didn’t like the shoes. The color of her clothes were ok but I thought it was too much. And I missed this part but now that Im reading it, it’s funny. This will do since the k’s and the regulars didn’t post something “pee in your pants funny” not like they had anything to work with but..
@anna
Funny. The only pic I thought Tiny looked pretty in is the one on the left.
and thats the only time when she really tried really really really really hard….
@Mizz I just told my best friend I was glad she had a slight heal today..lol Thats rare for her.
heel not heal typo
This parade will be going on in the dark if they dont hurry up!

A “Black” Man, A Moor, John Hanson Was the First President of the United States! 1781-1782 A.D.??? George Washington was really the 8th President of the United States! George Washington was not the first President of the United States. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson. Don’t go checking the encyclopedia for this guy’s name – he is one of those great men that are lost to history. If you’re extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name. The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land). Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress. As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents. He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch. All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington. In fact, Hanson sent 800 pounds of sterling siliver by his brother Samuel Hanson to George Washington to provide the troops with shoes. Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus. Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents. President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department. Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today.

Some ppl are who they are and you just learn to accept it. We have all been taught to respect our elders. My rule of thumb is, as long as my elder is a “person of the cloth” other than that don’t think that you are my elder when you may only be 10 yrs. older than me and don’t show respect towards anyone and demand respect. Respect is really earned and you do have to give it to get it. Now we all know ppl who are not even in our generation but because they are much older than us will almost always be given a pass for what they say.
@ TM@ri3.
Somebody went well and beyond doing their History home work. Where did you find this information so I can get a copy? We are taught in our introduction of schooling that George Washington was our first President.
TM@ri3
I actually thought that most people knew the myth that we already had a Black President of sorts…I read that awhile ago though this has not been proven.
Also if you’re going to copy and paste include the website that you’re using. I was able to find it and there is also a rebuttal that states who the black man actually is on the two dollar bill and its not Hanson. Anywho Anna here is the website that TM copy and pasted from http://www.johnhanson.net/hansonmoor/.
Also leave the Rev alone he did the da@m thing today! And he can say whatever he wants because he’s put in his dues.
the man is from the civil rights era. so, i didn’t expect nothing more or less from him. that’s what old timers do!! h*ll my grandma still has the rotary phone..w/no caller id!!..so there you go!!
omg….. all this happen ?
and top the topic, it was pure vintage Rev. Joseph Lowery. its a same for those who dont know this civil right legend. do some research on America’s past.
