President Barack Obama has always admired the Civil Rights Movement. The White House is adorned with artwork depicting the struggles of the 60s. He mentions it in…
The cast of “The West Wing” got back together to promote the second annual Big Block of Cheese Day, when the White House will answer questions on social media.
Following the public outrage regarding Elizabeth Lauten’s comments about Sasha and Malia Obama , there’s been much debate over what sort of behavior we should expect from the American First Family. Naturally, the utmost decorum is expected from First Ladies (believe it or not, some people were pissed when Michelle Obama rapped about turnips ), but there’s no set standard for presidential offspring. So it’ll be interesting to see how the world reacts to Jenna Bush Hager’s insinuation that she got it on in the White House while her dad was in office: Jenna appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live this week and – as it pretty much always does when Andy Cohen is involved – the conversation turned to sex: “Listen, a lady never tells,” Bush replied when asked if anyone visited her oval office during the Bush years (pun overload!). “You know there was maybe some hanky-panky.” She quickly dialed back her comment, adding, “Maybe a kiss on the roof.” Riiiight. This morning, Jenna called into Today to clarify her remark, but still didn’t explicitly deny conducting an official White House probe: Jenna Bush Hager Talks White House Sex “One, it was not as Fifty Shades of Grey as people want it to be,” Jenna said. “Second of all, I think I single-handedly brought back the word hanky-panky.” Jenna, chill. You were engaged while your dad was still in office and you’re married to Henry Hager now. No one cares if you “voted for Johnson” before marriage. Plus, you know Bill Clinton and JFK both lived there, right? No matter what went on in your bedroom, those walls have seen worse. Dubya 1. George Dubya Bush George W. Bush is more popular than ever! Or at least since 2005. His approval ratings are back in positive territory.
The President of Hampton University recently had some choice words for Presdident Obama about the financial struggles of Historically Black Colleges and Universities since he’s been in office. Hampton University President Blames President Obama For HBCU Financial Struggles via Breaking Brown The president of Hampton University was happy to be a part of the annual White House Initiative on HBCUs Conference, but he didn’t hold his tongue during the event. Dr. Harvey, who is also Chairman of the White House Advisory Board on Historically Black Colleges, called out the Feds for drastically reducing financial support for HBCUs during the event. HBCU Digest reports that Harvey blasted the Feds when he opened the annual conference. Here is an excerpt from his speech: Despite this assertion, these are difficult times for our institutions, our students and their families. Federal support for HBCUs is showing an alarming downward trend, and our friends in Washington need to know that we are watching and counting. For examples, over the last several years, all of the major Title IV programs had modifications and adjustments which make it much harder for HBCUs to get funding. We all know of the Parent PLUS debacle as these loans to our students are down. Pell grants to Black students are down. Direct loans to our students are down. Graduate subsidies were eliminated. In addition to student support, overall support to Black colleges is down. All of these changes had a significant impact in terms of availability of funding for students. Now more than ever, we need to support our own institutions and let our voices be heard. Do you agree?
