Great speech from the president (ridiculing today's Republicans and vowing to let the fatcats' windfalls expire). and... Great DANCE event in the White House -- the first of its kind -- thanks to the first lady. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100908/ap_on_en_ot/us_white_house_dance |

| 2. Now only if he had some help from the Dems in the House/Senate... |

preferably those who are safe. I understand if vulnerable Dems can't go all out and be "gangsta" like the president, but there are a lot of Democrats who should be standing up and hitting the Repukes back HARD for their utter stupidity!!

| 5. OMG... Better never to look at those!! |

These are true ignoramuses who don't even know what dance as an art form is. They've probably never even heard of Judith Jamison.
I was (still am a little) a professional modern dancer, and it's MAJOR that dance was recognized as an art form in the White House. Their program sounds perfectly fitting, too -- absolutely "American" as Jamison said.
It makes me sick that so many people don't have a clue, but that's why this sort of presentation, and respect, are so important.
Kudos to the first lady!

| 6. Oh! This dance thing, this is really great and it delights me. |

It sounds like a true dance event, masters and students and joy. There are a few things that would please me more than this, but not many. So great for the young dancers. And so fitting for a treasure like Ms Jamison to be honored with dance in our First Household. She has contributed so much for so many years.
I love the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, for making this event happen, and the fact that there will be more is just wonderful.
Best news I have heard in weeks. So thanks.

| 7. I think it's great, too. |

Dance as a concert art is still in its infancy relative to music and drama. This country was key to its development and it's about time it was celebrated!
Looks like a terrific program -- I confess I really can't stand Twyla Tharp, but the rest looked great. :hi:
