This is real cool to me. This shows how personable the Michelle and the First Family is. I enjoy seeing pictures like these.

Guess Who's the 2009-2010 Miss Hampton University

Subject:Hampton University
To:President Barack Obama

October 11, 2009


Aloha Mr. Obama!

My name is Nikole Churchill, a senior nursing major at Hampton University. This past Friday October 9, 2009, I was honored to be crowned Miss Hampton University 2009-2010. It truly was the best night of my life! With that being said, I am sad to say…… that my crowning was not widely accepted and many negative comments regarding my win have been shared throughout my campus.

It would be much easier to say that possibly some were not accepting of the news because I wasn’t the most qualified contestant; however, the true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African-American. Despite the unfortunate beliefs that some are saying I should not have won, I am desperately trying to focus on those who believe in me and support me and my goal to represent this beautiful, multicultural campus the very best way that I can. I would love your help!

I am hoping that perhaps you would be able to make an appearance to my campus, Hampton University, so that my fellow Hamptonians can stop focusing so much on the color of my skin and doubting my abilities to represent, but rather be proud of the changes our nation is making towards accepting diversity. People are even nicknaming me, “lil Obama” because of various reasons. This is truly an honor as well!

I am also from Hawaii (Wahiawa) and I am hoping that you can assist me in opening some closed minds and help share some aloha spirit throughout my campus. I feel as though you could relate to my situation, which is why I immediately wanted to contact you. I was interviewed last night at the HU vs. HU football game by news channel 13 and I mentioned how individuals such as you and myself are making changes in hopes people can stop placing so much focus on our skin color by letting that define what we can, cannot, should, and/or should not do. Dr. Harvey welcomed me last night to the family with open arms and I was beyond honored when he told me that he is behind me 100%. I am proud to represent Hampton University and I am so proud having you to represent our home, our country. Your support with my crowning as Miss Hampton University 2009-2010 would be graciously appreciated. Please reply, I will be looking forward to it!

I received an email from my President, Barack Obama!

Christoph --





This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.

That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.

This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.

Thank you,President Barack Obama

Michelle Obama’s Roots Trace Back to her Slave Ancestry

The New York Times decided to trace the First Lady’s family roots and found out that her great, great, great-grandmother was a slave from South Carolina.

Michelle Obama’s family history is like most other African-Americans. Her great, great, great-grandmother Melvinia Shields was a slave woman who was raped by a white man. According to the report, Michelle’s ancestry traces back to South Carolina, to Georgia, to Birmingham, Ala., then to Chicago and now to the White House.

Michelle’s family roots were discovered by genealogist Megan Smolenyak, who has now helped the First Lady to unsolve a mystery that many African-Americans seek out to find everyday. Michelle has yet to comment on the study and report that has been released by the New York Times.

Obama touches the life of a bobby in Great Britain!

You won't see this photo on CNN. Everyone is too busy showing the Queen being touched. This was a moment of "touching" that won't be forgotten by this bobby.

"This is the most powerful photo in the series. Remember they are not supposed to shake hands, but the two brothers couldn't resist the historic moment. The black royal cop never imagined in his wildest dream that he would usher a black American president into the British corridors of power. Nice."

The Eve of the Inauguration

The day before the Inauguration, I took the subway down to the Capital, where the actual Inauguration took place. It was incredible. We were allowed to get close enough to take pictures in front of the Capital. Take a look.

The Obama's Personal Transition

Watch CBS Videos Online

What if I was still teaching English in Korea during the election.

As soon as I heard the announcement that Barack Obama won the election I immediately began to think about what it would be like if I was still in Korea during this time in history. Then I thought to myself, "my friend, Natarsha, is still there. I need to call her to find out how things have changed. Check this video out!

Her students love Obama! However, there was one of her students who left the school after saying, "I hate black people." He obviously learned this from his parents. But that's life!
