Today marks the day of the Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States. No more President-elect Barack Obama... or VP-elect Joe Biden for that matter.
It's official Mr. President Barack Obama... let's do this.
It is rumored that President-elect Barack Obama's White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, was in cahoots with Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich, to try to "steer" Obama's Senate seat to a longtime friend of Obama's, Valerie Jarret. According to George Stephanopoulos on his ABC morning show today, he said Rahm is not down with Blago. Click here for more.
Prez-Elect Obama and the Mrs wanted to move into a home across the street from the White House called, the Blair House, which is a guest house for visitors and galas but was told ahhh... nope. All Obama was trying to do was move on the grounds a tad bit early, so his girls could be moved in before school starts. So what up with that no child left behind thing? Partying has always been a top priority for George W. So are we really surprised here? I mean seriously!
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested this morning by FBI agents on corruption charges, by what you ask... trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat. I am curious what one offers to sit in what looks to be an uncomfortable non-reclining seat? I am also curious to know what other drama is going to surround Obama prior to his inauguration?
Considering the track record of Governors in Illinois, is the prerequisite to hold that title to act like a mobster?
For the record, Prez-elect Obama had no recollection of these goings on.
Today on Meet The Press, President-Elect Barack Obama said the White House is the people's house. Really? So I can get my mail delivered there, sleep there, and party like a rock star... there?
Fox News reports, Lindsay Lohan was recently interviewed by Maria Menounos on "Access Hollywood," and was asked questions from her stint on "Ugly Betty" to President-Elect Barack Obama. Lindsay's response to Obama and we quote, "It's an amazing feeling. It's our first, you know, colored president."
