Bill Cosby appeared on Meet the Press Sunday morning where he discussed his decision to vote for President-elect Barack Obama. During his appearance, he reveals how historical the mere act of VOTING for a Black man was, as well as Obama’s historic victory. He also reflected on the importance of serving others and how this presidency is paramount to affecting change in all Americans:

“One of the things I’ve heard, is that when a person gives, when a person does a service, that’s there’s something happens to them emotionally. I’ve heard people working with prisoners, talk about prisoners breaking down and crying because they taught another prisoner, they mentored another prisoner, to learn how to read. And the mentoring person started to cry. You can’t, as a policeman said to me, make a man cry by punching him in the face. They don’t cry. But here this man is and it’s something emotional about us giving to each other, teaching each other, and that’s what this family’s talking about.”

Beyonce hit up the New York premier of “Notorious” yesterday glowing from head to toe.  Mrs. Carter, fresh off the heels of a romantic getaway with her boo, Jay-Z, looked fresh and relaxed.  I was tryna see if she’s still rocking her “Obama for yo Mama” nails but I couldn’t tell…

In related news, Bey was just nominated for five NAACP awards, including best female recording artist, best video for both “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies” and best supporting actress for Cadillac Records.  Do you really expect anything less from this superstar?

President-elect Barack Obama met with the four living members of the U.S. presidents’ club yesterday (George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter). The image above will forever be hailed in history books as every living U.S. president came together at the White House for a “power lunch” to hash over the world’s challenges with the president-elect. This is the first meeting of its kind since the days of President Ronald Regan.  Check out the AP news coverage below:

“This is an extraordinary gathering,” Obama said, looking plenty at ease in the humbling office that will soon be his.

“All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities of this office,” Obama said. “And for me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary. And I’m very grateful to all of them.” (Source)

106 & Park’s Terrance & Rocsi interviewed Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama via satellite last week and aired the footage during yesterday’s show.  Obama spoke of the current economic situation and stressed the need for CHANGE.  With record registration rates, the challenge will now be making sure that everyone actually VOTES.   

You can vote early in most areas.  Check with your local secretary of state to find out how and where to cast your vote.  Do it NOW…

How cute is this?!?  Jailbreak toys is offering a Barack Obama action figure and is calling it “The only action figure with the power to transform a nation!”  The creator, Jason Feinberg, 31, is an Obama supporter who states:

“Those of us from Generation X remember all of our fictional heroes like Batman and Superman,” says Feinberg. “It’s so fulfilling having a hero based on a real man with real accomplishments.”

The figure also comes in an exclusive summer suit edition.  I think it’s cute and I want one for my desk…if I had a desk!

Oh…I almost forgot about Sarah Palin’s new campaign poster.  Designed to create a buzz and generate funds for their failing campaign: (more…)

Take a good look.  These are the three idiots (Tharin Gartrell, Nathan Johnson, and Shawn Adolf) who conspired to assassinate Barack Obama the other day. [Jezzy are you watchin???].  ]The U.S. Attorney’s office in Colorado has revealed the plot but has only filed felony weapon and drug charges today against the three.   (more…)

In case you missed it, check out Michelle Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech in it’s entirety.   Our future president definitely married the right woman!  …and we all know that anyone named “Michelle” has got to be great!  Ha!
