Oprah Winfrey will usher in the holidays at the White House, visiting President Barack Obama and the first lady as they prepare for their family's first Christmas there, on Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special, airing Sunday, December 13, at 10/9c on the ABC Television Network.
The intimate, informative and entertaining hourlong special will include a one-on-one conversation with the president, marking the first time Oprah has interviewed him since he took office, as well as an exclusive sit-down interview with the first couple. The special will showcase behind-the-scenes preparations as the White House gets ready for the holiday season.
THE White House couple provided more than a hint of their competitive home life when Oprah Winfrey asked Barack Obama about the pressure as US President to give good presents.
Michelle Obama jumped in. "What are you going to get me? You should feel pressure . . ."
Mr Obama shot back: "I have given some good gifts - you get some nice stuff. Here's the general rule: I give nicer stuff than I get."
"No way," declared the first lady. "I gave you good gifts last year."
"Absolutely! Aw, come on, please," Mr Obama said, citing the disparity in the Obama household between Mother's Day and Father's Day. He pointed to a pearl necklace he had given his wife as a wedding anniversary present. Smiling, he said: "Who gave you this?"
"We're talking about Christmas," Mrs Obama said. "Don't become distracted."
The words mean what they mean,
Yes, they do. Looking at the actions, words & voting record of our current President, he most certainly fits the definition, by any source.
If you'd open your eyes and stop listening to your propaganda...
If you'd open your eyes and stop listening to your propaganda you'd recognize that he is, in fact, simply more of the same. Nothing has changed. We are not about to become socialist. We were already fascist, too bad so few recognize the fact.
2009 is the year of voter anger.
2010 will be the year of pitchforks, tar, and feathers.
