Cover Girl–Michelle Obama

The Obama family will grace the September issue of Essence


Michelle Obama will also grace the September issue of Ebony.

I wonder if McCain will be whining and complaining because neither of these mags want to feature his old, tired behind.

I love this quote from Michelle Obama:

Michelle Obama also discusses her family’s relationship to its neighborhood on the south side of Chicago: “For all of this wonderful madness that comes along with our lives — the Secret Service, the cars — there are kids on Forty-seventh and King Drive who can walk two blocks and be that close for the first time to somebody who can be the president of the United States. I love that,” she says.

Living in America ANYTHING is still possible if you have FAITH and BELIEVE (hmmm and a little money won’t hurt either…hehe).

APOOO Says Go Obamas! Just do the Dayum Thang!

(PS Essence better stop playing and make sure my mag is delivered this month…a sista don’t want to have to do a drive-by…hehe.)

  4. Djuanna–yeah she is!

    Cilla–LOL it better not be bent either!

  5. Wow.. They have a beautiful family. I love it!

  6. Absolutely beautiful! :)

  7. Hey Ty…I tried to leave you a comment on your blog but my message was eaten. :(

  8. No, I don’t think McCain will be whining about this. He might try to get some “black face” paint and appear on some magazine as a spoof. I wouldn’t put it past him.

    On another note, they are an absolutely fantastic looking presidential family!

  9. So it’s not just me who reads Essence in the grocery store and then it show’s up at my house.

    I love Michelle Obama. I think she is one awesome lady. She just exudes positive energy. When I grow-up I want to be just like her. ; )

  10. Khadejah you are a riot and I always love when you come through. Thanks for stopping in.

  11. Can’t wait to get my ESSENCE. The cover is awesome….a keeper for sure!

  12. This is great! I can not wait for those to come out. Where’s Jet :)

  13. LOL where’s Jet…it’s probably right around the corner. ;)

  14. I love Michelle. She is the typical successful Black woman: beauty, brains and no nonsense. She is such a positive role model. If(goodness forbids) the Obamas don’t take over the White House, someone has to give her her own talk show or something. She can’t go back to private life, we are hurting out here for more examples of positive successful Black women the world can see.
