Obama to Muslims: Unclench Your Fist
Obama recognizes that although most Muslims reject violence, many Muslims do not favor our kind of political system or the full plethora of human rights as we list them.

It's been a momentous time for America and our new president, who has restored the faith of many in our nation and our government.
We're 100 days into our Obamanation. Yes, some of the initial high may have worn, but there's still a glow (for a majority of us, at least). Despite...
Obama is enjoying levels of Irish support and enthusiasm unseen since Kennedy became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Emerald Isle in 1963.
Jason Wu talks about America's new first lady, his favorite Old Hollywood stars, and the item of clothing that no woman should go without.
Time and again it becomes ever more apparent, that one underestimates the Obamas at one's peril. Think of the great care and cunning that even goes in...
For amateur photographers, the panoramic shot is something of a Holy Grail. Traditionally, a good panoramic image required professional equipment and ...
Farrakhan was much more of the generation and attitude of Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright. Barack had passed them by. He didn't see things their way. Perhaps his daughter didn't either.
These truths are self-evident, but are they fully realized? No. They are not. Complacency is what we have to fear, it's what this generation must fight.
I would like to take a moment to reflect on what Shepard Fairey has done to our world in the last year.
Japanese journalist Keiko Tsuyama is a woman with many firsts. This is largely due to timing and tenacity. Her latest project was to cover Barack Ob...
The Inauguration of our new Chief this January has miraculously, it would seem, inaugurated a shift in movie genre. Barack and Michelle looked like Fred and Ginger.
Both Obama and Marley had the ability to rally people of African descent under the banner of black pride and people of all other races under the banner of unity.
The Etta James story has less to do with her insulting jibe at Obama than that a noted African-American, a legend if you will, would have the temerity to take a shot at Obama.
I almost had to remind myself to breathe inside the Newseum. There was Patty Hearst's gun and jacket. Donald Brasco's watch and Amex Card. A press pass to Timothy McVeigh's execution.
It took a lot after Bush to get our hopes up and get hitched in the first place. I am not sure this newlywed bliss is ready for the partisan beating, delays and the frustrations.
My good friend Amy Tavio surprised me with this honest and uplifting account of her family's impromptu trip to President Barack Obama's inauguration. ...
In Gaza as in Afghanistan, the lines between insurgents and civilians are intentionally blurred. In deciding to continue the Bush policies, Obama implicitly recognized this: amoral guerrilla fighting puts civilians at risk.
Here is a completely arbitrary and idiosyncratic personal list of people I really wish had lived to see Barack Obama elected and sworn in.
As a master orator, Obama faced expectations for his inaugural speech that were infused with the stratospheric hopes of his audience. Reporters were ...

I just love how we Americans get to watch the first family kids grow up. Its been that way since I am sure the beginning of it all. I was born in 1970 so the only kids I remember were the Reagan kids. Chelsea grew up to be so beautiful and the Bush girls are very pretty too, although you can tell they are and always were spoiled brats. I am so excited to see Sasha and Malia grow up. They are so beautiful.
Little girls that look like little girls - not sexy little pop tarts -- little girls that look at their parents with love and gratitude - not with smart remarks and eyes rolling - what a concept. With all the serious problems facing America and Americans, families pulling together and shared sacrifice may be one of the best ways to handle those stressors.
You have a lot of nerve. President Obama didn't put us in this crisis that the country in now facing..Bush did. You don't seem to have a problem with all the b.s. that the Bush administration put us in...I for one as a taxpayer don't mind paying to send the Obama children to a private school...its worth it to me. I didn't mind paying for any other President's child to attend private school either. So shut your mouth and stop being a hater.
The photos are wonderful. What I took away from them was a close, loving relationship the girls have with their parents. They clearly adore their father and to me that speaks volumes about the integrity and priority of the family. :)
The Obama girls are cute and so are millions of other American children. I'd like to see journalism on how the millions of children are doing in our country, especially those children whose parents have experienced jobb loss and live in fear of job loss. Frankly, I do not understand how the Obama's justify the tax dollars of Americans paying $60,000.00 for their children to go to private schools while there are American children living homeless and not going to school. Surely with everything else we pay for the President and his family, the Obama's could pay for their own children's education and donate that money to a family in need. Leading by example is so much more powerful than speeches or letters! I, for one, am getting tired of the rhetoric!
The taxpayers do not pay for their schooling. The Obamas do from their personal funds.
you took the words out of my mouth... they have more than enough money from their own personal funds to pay for their childrens schooling.
What??! I'm certain the Obama's pay for their children's school out of their own funds... What a daft comment!
Shame on you. Think about what your saying. Like Deborah_Muhammad said, we've paid for other presidents kids to go to school what makes the Obamas any different. Trust me they will give back in other ways but they've worked hard to be where they are today and their are benefits to acheiving the success that the Obamas have acheived and one is, expensive and excellent education for their children. This is either hatred, jealous or just racism on your part. Change requires us to change our thinking, worry about the difference you can make in a homeless childs life. See what you can do to make sure they go to school. Do your part!!
Uhh. The Obamas pay for their daughters' tuition. Ditto for the cost of their groceries (unless it's for a state/official function) and their clothes (unlike Sarah Palin). You should check your facts before posting such nonsense -- that is, unless you're being deliberately misleading.
