The Obama's first White House Tree Lighting + PICTURES + VIDEOS

Can the Obama's adopt me already! They are too nom nom nom! The First Family looked as radiant as ever as they lit the White House Christmas Tree. The Right Wing true to fashion are already crying foul. One Rusty Weiss (yeah I dont know him either) wrote a laughable article which I wont link for obvious reasons. He laments:

Even more amusing in this tale of Christmas thrift, is the mention of the 17 planned holiday parties at the White House - another ‘decidedly understated' holiday decision. However, factoring in an additional 11 open houses, the Obama's are hosting 28 events and expecting over 50,000 guests.
In contrast, President Bush in 2005 hosted 26 holiday parties with over 9,000 guests. In 2008, a poll suggested that one way President Bush could show an understanding of America's tough economic times, was to cancel the annual Christmas parties.
Will anybody be suggesting this to the Obama's?

All this because People Magazine dared to note that:

On Wednesday, Michelle Obama debuted a White House whose decked halls were decidedly understated. Where the Bushes and Clintons previously put up a dozen Christmas trees in the mansion's Foyer and Cross Hall alone, there are just seven on the entire State floor this year. The biggest of them – the 18½ foot Douglas fir in the Blue Room – is decorated with recycled ornaments that Mrs. Obama's team dug out of the warehouse where old White House decorations are stored.

Seriously someone needs to get laid already!
Anyhoo on to the FANTASTIKNESS (it stays) that was the lighting ceremony. The wholesomeness that is Common was also there, along with Jordin Sparks, Randy Jackson and Sheryl Crow to name but a few.

Cheetah Woods formerly known as Tiger Woods

Ok folks I do not take pleasure in Tiger's 'transgressions' ...ok I lie maybe I do. I dont know why I do though but I am just going to say maybe it's his snooty attitude. Why am I offended that he 'denied' he was a negro (sorry you cant wash that off boy). The way I see it, us negros need to love our damn selves. Anyway I digress. This is a random den so I am allowed to go off the rails now and again....but back to the topic....I thought I would post some EXQUISITE twits form some tweeps

Here we go:

Tareq and Michaele Salahi are planning a trip to Florida to crash the same tree Tiger Woods did.

Billy Bob Thornton's mantrum

Well obviously I need more people! No one whispered to BeBe Zahara Benet and I that there was a new Queen in town! Billy Bob Thorton is the new Queen people!!!

He totally threw a diva fit, which only a true Queen could, while on air with CBC's Jian Gomeshi. Because I can't make these things up, this is what the incredibly amazing (video doesn't lie!) Jian wrote after the whole debacle:

Today, we were visited by country pop band, The Boxmasters (Randomness edit - yeah I aint heard of them either!). The Boxmasters biggest claim to fame is that their singer is Oscar-winning screenwriter/actor/director Billy Bob Thornton. If you were listening, you heard what could best be described as a ‘showdown at the Q corral’ when Mr. Thornton took offense to our mention of his cinematic accomplishments

Queen threw a temper tantrum proper! He decided to mutter "I dont know" to about three quarters of the entire interview questions, went on to insult Canadian people (audiences) by stating that "...they are like mashed potatoes without gravy", and finally - refused to perform with the rest of the band, as previously arranged. His reasoning..."who slugs around drums at 6am?". Now that is a Queen who knows how to throw a tantrum. He still needs a few lessons though. A true Queen does not insult HER audience and is always gracious.
You better werk girl!

It's not even drugs kids....I doubt it very much....it must be all that voodoo, sharing blood vials, etc, that is finally getting to him. Maybe Angelina is not the crazy one after all...I know, I know, that is a whole new blog post

Jian, all I can sayto you is,you are a rare creature. I would have slapped the country out of his smug face!

Statement about Race at Bob Jones University - just wow

Exhale. ok... Bob Jones University of Greenville, South Carolina had an epiphany. They like to apologized for “racially hurtful” practices because "Scripture also teaches that this beautiful, God-caused and sustained diversity is divinely intended to incline mankind to seek the Lord and depend on Him for salvation from sin (Acts 17:24–28)". These sins include prohibiting married African American students until 1971 and unmarried African American students until 1975, and banning interracial dating until 2000. So much for Christianity. Speak on it...

Bob Jones University has existed since 1927 as a private Christian institution of higher learning for the purpose of helping young men and women cultivate a biblical worldview, represent Christ and His Gospel to others, and glorify God in every dimension of life.

BJU’s history has been chiefly characterized by striving to achieve those goals; but like any human institution, we have failures as well. For almost two centuries American Christianity(ha!), including BJU in its early stages, was characterized by the segregationist ethos of American culture. Consequently, for far too long, we allowed institutional policies regarding race to be shaped more directly by that ethos than by the principles and precepts of the Scriptures. We conformed to the culture rather than provide a clear Christian counterpoint to it.

In so doing, we failed to accurately represent the Lord and to fulfill the commandment to love others as ourselves. For these failures we are profoundly sorry. Though no known antagonism toward minorities or expressions of racism on a personal level have ever been tolerated on our campus, we allowed institutional policies to remain in place that were racially hurtful.

On national television in March 2000, Bob Jones III, who was the university’s president until 2005, stated that BJU was wrong in not admitting African-American students before 1971, which sadly was a common practice of both public and private universities in the years prior to that time. On the same program, he announced the lifting of the University’s policy against interracial dating.

Our sincere desire is to exhibit a truly Christlike spirit and biblical position in these areas. Today, Bob Jones University enrolls students from all 50 states and nearly 50 countries, representing various ethnicities and cultures. The University solicits financial support for two scholarship funds for minority applicants, and the administration is committed to maintaining on the campus the racial and cultural diversity and harmony characteristic of the true Church of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
