The legendary Stevie Wonder was honored at a special ceremony last night at the White House in D.C. Mr. Wonder was awarded the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize by POTUS Barack Obama. Afterwards he performed a special medley of his hits. It’s a well-known fact that Stevie Wonder is First Lady Michelle Obama’s favorite musician. And since their marriage is in trouble, according to People magazine, her man Baracked some strings to get a medal for Mr. Wonder so he would appear at the White House. Now that’s love right there.
I love how Michelle totally igged the naysayers in the mainstream press who feel she should stick with tradition and wear sleeves in the White House. They keep forgetting Michelle is not Laura Bush. She’s a sistah who wears what she wants to wear.
I don’t know how I would feel if everywhere I went women were drooling over my man. But Michelle is strong and she has already indicated that while there are problems within her marriage, she is willing to work to keep her man. Bless her heart.
White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers expertly handled all the planning of the special ceremony. I hear she’s still smarting from the stinging criticism she received for her revealing outfit at NY’s Fashion Week. But I think she looked great. Ignore the haters Desiree.
