Photos - Buhari Meets President Obama In The White House Oval Office

Posted in: , ,

President Buhari and his delegation are currently in the United States and they met with President Obama, VP Joe Biden in the White House Oval Office today. yesterday, they were visited by former US Secretary of State, Madeline Albright at the Blair House where the Nigerian president and his entourage are staying. I am kind of disappointed that there seems to be no women in the group traveling with the president, but I'll wait before jumping to negative conclusions.

Anyways, ahead of the meeting, Buhari wrote asking for patience as he takes his time to battle Boko Haram and corruption in the country. See an excerpt from his article and photos from the visit below...

Kenyan Lawyer Has Eyes On Malia Obama Since 2008, Offers 50 Cows To Marry Her

Posted in: , ,

A Kenyan paper has reported how a local lawyer, Felix Kiprono, has been eyeing the eldest First Daughter, Malia Obama, since her father Barack Obama was sworn in as president of the United States in 2008. Now that she is almost 17, the man is ready to ask her dad for her hand in marriage! Can someone say pedophile?

In case we have forgotten, Malia may be over 6ft tall now, but in 2008, she was not yet 10 and looked exactly her age as can be seen in the pic above with her mom and younger sister. How old is this lawyer Kiprono again? Someone better tell him that like all dads, Obama doesn't joke with his baby girls, and as the POTUS, the entire Secret Service may soon be on his case, lol.

President Barack Obama, the leader of the free world as some call him, is actually just as ordinary as you and me! Yes, he does that quirky, funny things we all do when we think no one is looking. Like making funny faces in the mirror, using a selfie stick, dunking a cookie bigger than his milk glass, playing joke basketball, and doodling - a  picture of his wife, Michelle Obama, no less. How cute, right?

The 53-year-old President appears much younger as he shows off how cool he looks in sunglasses, practices his speeches, and when he’scaught by one of his staff members he asks, ‘Can I Live?’ Hahaha...

All the fun is in video produced by BuzzFeed to promote HealthCare.gov, the website where people can sign up for affordable insurance under Obamacare. Watch below...

Michelle Obama Channels ‘The Good Wife’ Alicia Florrick In #SOTU Outfit

Posted in: , , ,

Yesterday, just before the State of the Union adress by president Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama shared a short Instagram where she was wearing the outfit above. A Twitter user quickly noted that Mrs. Obama was wearing the same dress and Michael Kors jacket worn by Julianna Margulies' character last season on 'The Good Wife.'

Hashtags and memes ensued as commentators compared the designer attire worn by FLOTUS to its on-screen version. Some naysayers also brought up the point that the dress had been worn by Alicia Florrick, the wife of a disgraced politician in the hit TV series.

But those are just haters. See more photos of the stunning Michelle below...I think the outfit looks amazing on her, and check out her figure for a woman of 50!

#FreeCommunityCollege‬ - Obama Proposes Making Two Years Of Community College Free

Posted in: , ,

Who else is just loving President Obama right now? I'm so digging how visionary and in touch with the pulse of his country our US president is at all times. President Barack Obama doesn't just sit in the capital and talk, he has an idea of what and where things are pinching and has options on how to fix it.

The President has proposed ‪#‎FreeCommunityCollege‬ for hard-working students across the nation, inspired by ‪#‎TennesseePromise‬, and I'm all for it. Many are too, who prefer their tax money to be used for this than prison funding. I might even go back to school!

Hear the president speak below...
