A gift for you: Portrait: The First Family

IRMA, THE WORLD OF "VIRTUAL REALITY" smiles. I will send you the link,you open it, the pix whick is 11x12 will appear, print on KODAK paper or regular paper, or go to Staples, or Kinko's have them print it on glossy paper of your choice. Actually you can e-mail forward to your family the e-mail I will send you. in any even save the pictures to "my pictures" like Earl said, and you can put it on a DVD,recordable CD or also make it you wallpaper on your computer, so every day we can smile.

It hit me..because I have a wallpaper of Havana.and even though I love the palm trees and the turquoise building behind the statute of Jose Marti..I could use a change,and this is the only one worth changing for!! change, change, change..there is a season, change, change change..(like turn, turn turn, who sang that Earl) :-) Oh The Byrds..dating myself..

YES!!!!you are getting it..YOU GOT IT..YOU GOT IT.. This is what it feels like to be empowered, this is what an African feels, a Haitian, A Jamaican..their leaders look like us and we look like them!! yeah buddy!!! that's why we have to comport ourselves differently, don't worry with my buddies we will have a moving on up party..but not in their faces..you don't do that..because 2012 is coming around soon!

oh- Fooey, Earl!!!! LOL

Awwwww...this healing goes both ways. A few people only know what Barack Obama represents in my personal life. He was part of the answer that I was searching for in my quest to have all cutures respect and understand each other WHILE LOVING YOUR OWN.

That was my mission statement when I decided that anthropology would be my life's goal. Not a career, nor profession but the application of it as it relates to modern times. A forever study.

Here is someone who understands the struggle. He is a human, he is Black, He is White, he is man, he is an American. He can lead us to out of this hyphenated madness.

We are one people srtuggling against principalities and powers. Against a domination by a people who have by the color of their skin decided to crowned themselves Kings

Cry and let the pain out that we carry in our genes from watching and being victimized by man's inhumanity to man, then get ready put your boots on and steel yourself to walk thru some deep you know what.

Understand what he is saying,he NEEDS us to help him. He cannot do it alone. He is not God.

The time has come. I hope every Black man in America and in the colonized countries wakes up on November 5th and says "it was all a lie" I can, yes I can. We as Black women have held up our brothers for too long.

Their lack of self acknowledgement and confusion has led them to mistreat the soldiers that have stood by their side.

Lots of healing going on. Ebonics can become a second language. As I have always maintained. Young men will listen to his speech and eloquence and imitate that. They will look at how he treats his family and imitate that. They will see how he stands up to the so called "mighty" and imitate that. They will see he struggled to get his schooling and imitate that. That he has traveled. That he has a BLACK woman by his side and imitate that. You don't need a white woman to become CEO. As by bff says "Come on , now!"

BEAUTIFUL!:)
Yes, send me it as well and bless you. It will be sooo nice to see color against that white house backdrop!!! Did anyone see Tara Banks in Harper's Magazine in a photo op as Michelle with Obama and girls playing under the desk like the famous JFK shot with his son under the desk. It was July/August edition I believe. I would love to have that one too. Blessings...

oh? earl did i read somewhere that your wife is "white" did this touch a nerve?..LMAO!!!

Marta can I get more than one so my family will not have a problem with me?(smile)I will hide this about the picture until my yard party is over today. Our celebrating the future president Obama has been moved inside as it has been raining for the past three days.

thanks Marta and here is another idea. At the end of my(and all of your partys)hand out the email link to your guest as a memory of the party.HUH?

Although like my best freind, I will live to be 120 years old, I can now die happy because I will have lived to see November 4-5, 08 and January 21,09!!! Obama has opened another door for us, let us step through with P-R-I-D-E.

Mozell, I await your poem to the next first family...thanks again my sister Marta...

sister Marta. remember me saying before how the words to define Obama have not been invented yet? Well I have the picture of the first family, the Obama's from you...Marta, the feelings I have from this picture being in my home, I am experiencing emotions that have no words to define them all. As soon as I could stop crying, I am sending you this thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And, please tell me that I am not dreaming. That this is really during my life time...bless you...
