Deep down inside I truly hope that Michelle has an inner Angela Davis
who wants to take down the system.
And I hope Barack has enough sympathy for Muslims that he realizes civilian casualties in Muslim countries are equally as tragic as American casualties. We're all human beings.

I'd be happy if the real Obamas were like the couple on the cover. I bet I'm not the only one...

7. Ya know, I'll admit...I forgot the picture above the fireplace.
Still, I don't think that's what was intended.

5. I hope Barack hasn't truly renounced Jeremiah Wright.
Because Jeremiah Wright, for the most part, rawwks!!*





*My only exception is what he said about Natalee Holloway. That was just uncalled for.

Angela Yvonne Davis (born, January 26, 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama) is an American Socialist organizer, feminist, revolutionary, LGBT activist, and university professor who was associated with the Black Panther Party for Self Defense and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Davis was also a prominent member and political candidate of the Communist Party USA. She first achieved nationwide notoriety when a weapon registered in her name was linked to the murder of Judge Harold Haley during an attempted Black Panther prison break; she fled underground, and was the subject of an intense manhunt.

She was eventually captured, arrested, tried, and then acquitted in one of the most famous trials in recent U.S. history. She is currently Professor of History of Consciousness at the University of California and Presidential Chair at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She works for racial and gender equality and for prison abolition, and is a popular public speaker, nationally and internationally. Davis is a founder of the anti-prison grassroots organization Critical Resistance.
