FIRST LOOK/ ON TV/ SOUNDSCAN/ BARACK OBAMA IS OUR 44TH PRESIDENT

November 5, 2008

BARACK OBAMA IS OUR 44TH PRESIDENT!!
As an African American Woman, I was so PROUD that Barack Obama won last night (by a landslide 338 Electoral Votes to John McCain’s 162 and still counting) .  I think I called almost every family member to make sure they were watching TV to witness this historical moment.   Most of my relatives never thought they would see they day when a Black Man would become President.  The news even reported Barack’s gramdmother did vote before she died.  So many people in my neighborhood were cheering and honking their car horns.  One area near me even had fireworks going off like it was July 4th.  From Times Square to Harlem, I have never seen so many people gather together to watch a Presidential Election.

People in America are tired of this economic crisis.  They are losing their homes, jobs and 401K’s in which they worked so hard to get.  Last night the people said ENOUGH!! Not only do we have a Democratic President but the Democrats also took over the House and Senate.  It was so great to see all kinds of people watching Barack Obama speak last night. 

YES we can!! YES we did (Vote)!! and YES we will (look forward to a better future)!! 

This is the CHANGE we can believe in!!

ELECTION DAY – VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!
I have to say I got to my poll place at 5:30am this morning and I was the 10th person in line.  By the time the doors opened at 6:00am there were at least 50 people waiting in line to vote.  I was never so proud to see that many people so early in the morning.  My mother has always told me and my brother that many people fought and died so that I could have the right to vote.  Women earned the right to vote in 1920.  African Americans earned the right in 1865 with the 15th Amendment but during the Civil Rights Movement it was highlighted even more.  Please go vote because we all should have a say in our future!!

JANET JACKSON CONCERT ON SAT. NOVEMBER 1ST
I had such an amazing time at her concert at MSG on Saturday night.  LL Cool J dropped out of the tour so she had DJ Kast One (from Hot 97) DJ hype up the crowd.  Janet came out at 8:45pm and the concert didn’t end until 11pm.  She did so many songs from “Say You Do” and “Young Love” (from her 1st album “Janet Jackson”), “You Don’t Stand Another Chance” (from her 2nd album “Dream Street”) to every song since the “Control” album where the rest of the world started to realize what an amazing performer she is and not just Michael’s little sister.  I even saw Sherri Shephard from “The View” in the first row dancing and singing away.

So the best and most hilarious part was when Janet picked a guy out of the audience to “torture” him to her song “Discipline”.  For all you die hard fans you know she has done this before at previous concerts to men with a sexy song, but it was just in a chair.  Well she has updated that and so she put this guy in a swing contraption.  Needless to say the guy was “happy” beyond belief.  The NYC audience was going wild, so a dear friend of mine got in on tape and put it on You Tube.  You may hear me and my friend laughing hysterically. (Thanks Anonymous!!).  Watch for yourself!!!
