Jamaican reggae superstar Cocoa Tea does a wicked reggae song for Obama..
Andres Useche uses Obama’s slogan, yes, we can as his hook..and it works perfectly…
There’s even a punjabi poem celebrating Obama’s rise….
Hmm..with [...]

While he might not receive a big hug at the very least he gets a fist bump for showing up and talking to NAACP leaders, ( President Bush only showed up once in the past eight years) and activists at the annual NAACP convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Now, I don’t think this appearance was all about the black vote. I [...]

At his final G8 summit in Japan, George Bush, the President and leader of the most powerful nation in the world and the nation with the biggest responsibility TO the world (since we consume 25% of the world’s resources) told world leaders as he left the summit, right after rejecting global climate change targets, with a smile [...]

And apparently these comments will be aired tonight exclusively on FOX News since Jackson made the comments while conducting an interview at FOX News.

In recent weeks Obama has been shifting his positions on issues and has been moving slowly toward the center.
