Michelle Obama may be pregnant

    The celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has reported a 'rumour' that Michelle Obama is pregnant. Though Hilton admits the story is ‘completely unconfirmed’, it quickly spread across the internet.

    Hilton said: ‘This is completely unconfirmed and at this point just a ‘rumour’ but … we’re hearing the talk in DC is that Michelle Obama is pregnant. Could this be true????? It’d be happy news! Hopefully it’s a boy!’ The White House has made no comment on the rumours.

    Several photos of Michelle sipping on a glass of bubbles have been uncovered, but this failed to stop the gossip mill: she could have been drinking something that had no alcohol...

    So, what do you think? Is she or is she not? Obama was saying 'yes we can', so maybe they did it.Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/US

Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia

    Some more Obama news. A toy company has launched dolls named 'Sweet Sasha' and 'Marvelous Malia'. The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.

    Michelle Obama has termed the launch of these dolls as inappropriate: "We feel it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes." The doll manufacturing company, however, said these dolls are not based on Obama's girls and are not a replica of the First Daughters - rather the names were chosen because they're beautiful... Other dolls in the collection include Lindsay, Paris and Hillary. 

    What do you think? Completely inappropriate or just some random dolls?

Malia Obama capturing history

    Malia Obama was capturing history earlier today, with the First Daughter filming her father as he made his first speech as President of the World.
    Malia - who was dressed in a striking blue and black coat - is regularly spotted with a camera in hand at her father's events. She has been busy documenting her father's historic days with a small digital camera. Reports indicate that Malia Obama's "camera of choice" is actually the Kodak EasyShare M893.

    Malia may be the most promising White House historian: she seems to have been recording every moment with her camera, from her father's inauguration speech to Beyonce's performance on Sunday. Malia is surely getting a better than average angle on many of these occasions. President Barack H Obama has another photographer to watch out for now...

Obama: What a sweet letter to Malia and Sasha!

    I have now gone through all of Obama's great and inspiring speeches, but I have just discovered something even better than all of his speeches combined: his recent letter to his lovely daughters Malia and Sasha. Heartwarming words, and I must admit that I had to shed some tears while reading this. So here it comes:
    Dear Malia and Sasha,

    I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
    When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

    I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

    I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

    Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country-but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free-that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

    That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

    She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

    I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much-although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

    These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

    I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.


    Love, Dad

She had a dream

Ayub Ogada re-discovered

    Obama's win and an unexpected day off encouraged me to browse through my old music collection and look for some Luo music. And I am very glad I did, since I have now re-discovered Ayub Ogada's album En Mana Kuoyo (meaning "just sand"). Ogada's music is based on repetitious patterns plucked on the nyatiti, a stringed instrument reminiscent of the lyre, combined with his soft voice.

    Ayub Ogada is a Luo and a traveller in body and mind. At the tender age of six, Ayub accompanied his father and mother when they took their musical act on tour, performing a duet playing Luo songs on the US college circuit. Ayub later went back to Kenya where he went into a Catholic school run by nuns and then an English boarding school. His education and his outstanding ability with percussion landed him a position with the French Cultural Centre in Nairobi, composing modern and traditional music for various productions. Such events proved formative. The wide-eyed youth with his images of America would nurture a respect for his own tradition but a hunger to develop it and nourish his own creativity. Like many of Kenya's youth, Ayub picked up on the flotsam of the global music tide: soul, jazz, Latin. Kenya's attractiveness to citizens of neighboring countries like Congo and Tanzania added spice to local flavours such as benga, a Luo-derived, guitar-based rhythm popular in the 70s and the 80s (in Luo, 'benga' means soft and beautiful). In 1979, Ayub co-founded the African Heritage Band, potently combining tradtional rhythms with vintage and modern instrumentation. Six years, two albums and a tour of Europe later, bolstered by a series of lucrative movie roles (he played a tacit but impressive Mau Mau heavy in the film 'Kitchen Toto'), Ayub decided to check whether the world really was his oyster. Ayub arrived in the UK in 1986 and was quickly snapped up by London's African music scene. For a time Ayub played in the promising but occasionally volatile rumba band Taxi Pata Pata, along with guitarist Zak Sikobe, who he grazed knees with back in Kenya. In 1993, Ayub recorded the album En Mana Kuoyo on Peter Gabriel's Real World label. His music has also been heard on the soundtrack of the 2000 release of 'I Dreamed of Africa' and the 2005 film 'The Constant Gardener'. He has also collaborated with Susheela Raman on several tracks on her 'Salt Rain' album, such as 'O Rama'. His piece, 'Kothbiro' appears in the soundtrack of the Méxican Film 'The Blue Room' based on the novel of George Simenon. Ayub Ogada's music was used in the soundtrack for Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman's BBC series Long Way Round. In addition, Ayub Ogada has collaborated with the Afro Celt Sound System on their first and fourth releases. In 2005, Ayub performed at the Live 8 concert, Eden Project as the opening act performing on a large replica of an historic Egyptian lyre. Ayub Ogada moved back to Kenya in 2007.

    On the CD I just re-discovered, En Mana Kuoyo, Ayub sings gentle, almost hypnotic, and yet ultimately relaxed melodies concerning home, cattle herding, his instrument, the weather, and injustice. The music is spacious and at the same time stimulating. A brilliant CD, and I am looking forward to hearing more from him.

    So as Kenyans wait for a tourism boost after Obama's election victory , we may as well expect some increased interest in Kenya's interesting culture and music, and I hope Ayub Ogada will now be (re-) discovered by many more people.

Barack Obama: First President of the World

    The 44th Presidential Elections in the US have been followed with great interest and passion not only in Kenya but in all corners around the globe. Never before in the history of mankind has an election attracted such widespread attention. Barack Obama will not only be the first US president of color, but also the first Internet-president and maybe the closest we ever got to a "World President". Polls in more than 40 countries have shown an overwhelming support for Obama across the world. The world had already adopted Obama as ‘her candidate’ during the campaigning period. And despite the deeply rooted financial crisis and the crazy war policies, the United States of America is still seen as a country of hope and opportunity: the American dream is still alive, maybe even more than ever before.

    I really liked Obama's Acceptance Speech, and I have the feeling that many people did. My favorite quote from his speech as a Kenyan and as world citizen is “This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change.” Kenyans, are we listening?Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/US
