Happy. Proud. Hopeful. Thank You, President Obama

Happy. Proud. Hopeful. Thank You, President Obama

“I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.” – President Barack Obama, from his acceptance speech in the early morning of November…

A Ray of Light in Political Darkness

October 17, 2008 by afrobella 19 Comments

This campaign has been incredibly hideous, so I was thrilled to catch the annual Al Smith memorial dinner on tv last night.

April 23, 2008 by afrobella 44 Comments

I know I’m not the only political news-observer who woke up in a cloud of gloom this morning. Apparently the voters in Pennsylvania see something I don’t, in HRC. I have tried really hard to not allow the swelling, souring personal feelings inside me color my political coverage on this blog. I do have strong…

Phenomenal Woman, That’s Her

April 16, 2008 by afrobella 46 Comments

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — I find Michelle Obama to be absolutely fascinating. I realize that not everyone sees her the same way — where I see the modern Jackie Kennedy, others see Omarosa, as I’ve heard her naysayers call her. Right now I’m watching the woman I sincerely hope…
