Inaugural Do Over
Since the presidential oath was so badly blundered by both the Chief Justice and President Obama (Anderson Cooper blamed it entirely on the Chief Justice), in order to make everything legal they decided to redo it. However, he did not swear on a bible. Why not? And almost none of the press was invited. The only reason the story broke was because a White House Reporter overheard Axelrod's conversation. Why didn't he tell the press? No hagas cosas buenas que parecen cosas malas.
Michelle Obama's Inaugural Dresses
Michelle Obama's outfit for the inaugural ceremony was timeless. It was done by Isabel Toledo a Chicago based designer who also created the much talked about purple dress. Her outfit was a lemongrass wool lace sheath and coat for a day with matching J. Crew gloves. 
The inaugural ball dress was another story. It was made by Jason Wu and well it was just plain ugly. What was she thinking? With her figure and height she could have pulled off alomost anything. I guess she was trying to resemble Jackie Kennedy who also wore white at her husband's inauguration. Michelle Obama could have definitely found a better dress. I was very disappointed in her choice. I found her dress to be ugly and unbecoming and her husband kept stepping on it. Jill Biden looked stunning in both outfits. The cut, style and beautiful color of the Reem Acra dress made her look fabulous.disappointed in her choice of dress.

Presidential Inauguration 2009
This was too funny!
The inauguration went down seemlessly. Everything went perfect except when Obama was being sworn in. The peaceful transfer from one President to the next was a great example of American democracy.
I think that it was in bad taste to spend around $150 million dollars during the presidential inauguration. Especially when the country is in such a bad economic situation and many, many people are losing their jobs and homes. I think that they could have toned it done. Who's paying fo all this anyway?

Her name is Ingrid Mattson she is a Muslim convert from Canada who now is the President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). She was invited to an "Interfaith Gathering" of Leftist religious luminaries the day before the convention opened. The organization that she represents is a well known front for the Muslim Brotherhood, a Islamist revolutionary movement dedicated, in their words, to "a grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands." Her group is also believed to have ties with Hamas. Why did he invite her?

What will Michelle Obama wear?
What will Michelle Obama be wearing during the inauguration? 
So far she has presented an immaculate image and the best part is that she wears clothes from stores like J. Crew, White House and Black Market and The Gap! I'm really curious to see what she will be wearing. She is very tall and slender so almost anything will look good on her.

Presidents
Everyone knows that one of the most stressful jobs is being the President of the United States. One artist thinks that he can predict how Obama will look in 2013. 
Historical meeting between four past presidents and one president to be.
Check out the great suits and ties.
Nice rug.

Israel - Gaza
Following the 9/11 attacks, I was sickened to see TV news footage of Palestinians celebrating in the streets the deaths of almost 3000 innocent people. Therefore, I find it impossible to share the sense of outrage that many people are displaying at Israel's actions.
Let’s get real here. How long could you last if your neighbor was throwing hand grenades and firing rocks at you incessantly? No other country in the world would have allowed its citizens to have been fired on indiscriminately for the past eight years. Israel does not deliberately target civilians unlike Hamas, a terrorist group. The sooner Hamas stops launching rockets into Israel the sooner things will improve.
Israel is a tiny country surrounded by enemies that is fighting for its very existence. This war is being fought in order to eradicate terrorists who are trying to destroy her. Israel has been attacked in two other unprovoked wars – The Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War.
If Israel can remove Hamas it will create the first opportunity for peace since the British lead “Partition” in 1947. Let’s not forget that in 1948 the Arabs refused the two state solution and attacked Israel. If they had accepted the two state solution the “Palestine” they would have gotten would have been much bigger then the one they received in 1967, which in turn is much bigger than what they may have to settle for now or in another 10 years.
The so called “Palestinians” should recognize the war with Israel is over and that they have lost. They should surrender and negotiate a secure future for their children. They should realize that even though other Arabs claim to stand by them the other Arabs have moved on. Three generations have been wasted in fighting for “Palestine”.
