Letting them know they are not alone and that they can always count on the American people to lend them a helping hand with anything that they are in need of.

“We need to ask ourselves, what can we do to help?” Then do it! by our First Lady Michelle L. Obama. Friday, This year Veteran’s Day is a very special day because  it fall on 11/11/11 which is suppose to be a lucky day for some people.  Also we the people of the United States of America should  honor and respect the American troops for their  heroism, for volunteering to serve in the U.S. military to fight for our country and to the one who died on the battlefield protecting us from the enemy.

President John F. Kennedy had sex on a regular basis with many of the top Hollywood actresses of the day including a 12 month affair with Marilyn Monroe and alleged liaisons with stars including Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Janet Leigh and Angie Dickinson.

Then there were women employed in the White House mainly for sex services, plus girlfriends “lent” to him by people seeking favours, including Mafia Chief Sam Giancana. 

Tapes of conversations Jacqueline Kennedy had with Presidential Aide Kenny O’Donnell have recently been released. They are incredibly revealing and she gives her opinions of politicians she met during her time in the White House. She was unimpressed by Lyndon Johnson, UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and French Premier Charles de Gaulle. She also didn’t like Martin Luther King who she accused of being drunk at JFK’s funeral – and obsessed about sex.

The tapes were made long after JFK was killed and it would have been possible for her to make some acknowledgement of her husband’s equal obsession with sex. Kenny O’Donnell was a long time associate of the Kennedy family and knew all about President Kennedy’s fierce sexual appetite. But on the contrary she has nothing but kind words for her husband and his family.

Not a problem

One conclusion must be that her husband’s unfaithfulness was not a huge problem for her. She must have known all about it before she married him and her much loved father was also a sexual predator.

It is almost unbelievable to imagine that a President was able live the life he did completely free from exposure by the media. The explanation is that the sixties were very different times and the 24/7 news cycle did not exist. Equally any journalist who did cause a problem would be committing professional suicide and never work again.

It is also highly possible that the First Lady herself enjoyed playing the field. Marlon Brando described how she more or less propositioned him but he did nothing about it, fearing that because he had been drinking he could not rise to such an important occasion.  

Another clue to Jacqueline Kennedy’s attitudes is her later marriage to Greek ship owner Aristotle Onassis. His sexual appetites were similar to those of her late husband and he was not a husband who would remain faithful. But what he did offer was financial security – and the freedom to follow her own tastes.

Those two factors were more important to the talented and beautiful former first lady than any conventional worries about extra marital sex.

Why do the media go crazy over Michelle Obama? And why do they worship-fully glamorize her and view Barak Obama as god? When she goes out the groupie media gawks at her as if she is a fashion icon, who really cares what Michelle Obama is wearing, and why does the media want you to care? It seems apparent to some people just how apathetic many Americans have become regarding real issues facing the country to be side railed or distracted from them and be caused to focus top priority on whatever Michelle Obama wears. People are now becoming used to seeing Michelle in the Media sporting whatever attire she happens to be spending with tax payer’s money. And the more expensive and elaborate her attire the better, it is rumored she is proud of her country now that she is the center of its attention.

Let’s face the truth, Michelle Obama is no fashion queen or super model, some people have called her “homely” looking, but the media is treating her like a fashion icon. It all feels a bit  awkward at best seeing her on the media with the reverence she is receiving, anyways everyone has to endure the media’s worshipful infatuation of Michelle Obama for a few more years until they find a new host to showcase their trade.  

In a posting on his blog, perezhilton.com, he says: “It is a completely unconfirmed rumor and now it’s just a rumor … but it sounds like Michelle Obama in Washington DC is pregnant “

Could it be true?? It is very encouraging news! Let’s hope it’s a boy! “notes the blogger still specializes in news from Hollywood.

Mrs. Obama, 45 years old, said at one point, that neither she nor her husband, not wanting another child.

President Barack Obama’s wife often appears in public with dresses that highlight her arms, drew several comments on the body of the First Lady worked well. This time, however, came to the attention of her abdomen commentators.

This rumor appeared as the first lady is pregnant.

Michelle Obama, 45, but went to the famous Oprah Winfrey show to turn things around. “Even pregnant? And that after many abdominal toning exercises do?” she complained.

Those who believe that President Obama will be back Dad, Michelle and clear it out for them: “I’m not pregnant. And I’m not going. “

Presidential couple has two daughters and Malia, aged 10 years and Sasha, seven.

Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is not going to make any obese kids lose weight.  Neither is it going to prevent any other child from being added to the obesity list.  The Act is nothing more than a scheme to dump more money into the schools.  Why is the government giving kids after school snacks anyhow?  Because breakfast and lunch are already provided, of course.  These hand-out meals are one of the reasons about half the country will vote for any candidate wearing the label democrat.

I am really disappointed in Mike Huckabee who decided it necessary to criticize Sarah Palin over this issue.  Mike Huckabee, possibly a GOP presidential candidate, is obviously a member of that RINO GOP party we are trying to get rid of.

Laura Bush is a teacher, mother, and First Lady of both Texas and the United States.  She works hard at everything she does and loves to see people reading and enjoying themselves.   She stands on her own two feet with accomplishments that she has been part of.   I wish to say Thank You to her for starting many new programs that has helped alot of different people.

In 1781, rumor hit the Plantation were Dolley was living and the rumor was that the British soldiers were burning houses in nearby villages.   She wondered what her father and the rest of her family would do if the British soldiers came to burn their house?  She wondered what she would do?

The British soldiers never came to her house.  They surrendered to General George Washington in October, 1781.

In 1783, Dolley and her family moved to Philadelphia, the largest city in the United States.  It was ,so different to what Dolley was used to.   She started doing things with friends that she had never done before, such as sailing, picnics, and worshipping at the Pine Street Meeting House.

While Dolley was having fun, her father and his business was doing terrible.  When his father couldn’t pay his bills, the Quakers asked him to leave the group.   Later,  Dolley’s mother opened a boardinghouse to support the family.

Happier days were on the way for Dolley.  She met and married John Todd on January of 1790.   Their first son, Payne was born in 1792 and their second son, William was born in 1793.

As soon as the happy time started, the bad time came biting on the heel of happiness.  Yellow fever struck the city of Philadelphia,  hundreds of people were dying because of it.  Among those people to die were Dolly’s husband on October 24, 1793.  Baby Williams died also.  The only two to survive was Dolley and her son, Payne.

Congressman James Madison started to pay attention to Dolley and they got married on September 15, 1794.  Her life changed.   As the wife of a Congressman, her plain dresses were packed away and her dresses  went to colorful dresses when she attended parties and balls.

James decided to leave Congress in the year of 1797 and the family moved to Montpelier.   James managed the five thousand acre plantation while Dolley cared for her family.

They had to move again in the year of 1801 cause President Thomas Jefferson chose James to help him as Secretary of State.    On May 27, 1801  Dolley and her sister,  Anna received a note from President Jefferson asking they to dine with him and his guests.   He needed someone to entertain the women of his guests.

March 4, 1809,  James Madison became the fourth President of the United States.   June 18, 1812, President Madison declared war on Britain.  In August of 1814, four thousand British soldiers marched north to Bladensburg.   American soldiers prepared to stop them and the people of Washington grew restless.   On August 23, 1814, Dolley received a note from James and he had wrote “Be prepared to leave the city at a moment’s warning.”   She started to pack government papers  in trunks and loaded them on carriages.

On August 24, 1809, a man from her husband’s troop charged through the door of the White House telling Dolley to clear out.

On February 17, 1815, James signed a peace treaty and the war with Britain was finally over.

In March 1817,  James’s presidency was over and the family moved back to Montpelier.

Disaster stuck once more at Dolley’s heart.  In 1831, her sister,  Anna became very sick and it broke Dolley’s heart in two, when she couldn’t go see her.  James was weak with rheumatism and needed her help around the house.  On June 28, 1836, James Madison passed away.

In the fall of 1837,  Dolley moved back to Washington D.C. and she was welcome back in a grand style.  People invited her to parties, she raised money for orphanage and attended sessions of Congress.

July 12, 1849,  Dolley Madison passed away and at her funeral, President Zachary Taylor had this to say about Dolley.  “She will never be forgotten because she was truly our First Lady for half a century.”

    When I was an 8 year old girl, my granddad asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up to be a woman.  I did not even have to think twice when I responded; “A Queen”.  Now my grandad was born in jolly ole England, so he laughed and then proceeded to inform me of the pitfalls of that regal position.  He said the Queen of England never gets to be alone for any activities. Since I needed a potty break, just then, I asked if she went to the bathroom alone?  I recall my grandad saying “No”.  From that day, I changed my mind from what I had thought I wanted to be when I grew up to be a woman.

     Each time the first lady gets photographed, she does not have the opportunity to get ready before the picture is taken and then sent electronically around the world.  There are some pics that are less attractive than if she had that chance to prepare for them.  Her style is her own, her fashion and decorating of her outfits is personal.  She is the first lady on display.  Whether she is bent over showing pantie lines or deplaning from a lengthy airplane ride, she is captured as she is, right then and there.  Her selection of colors is her choice, not to be ridiculed by the photographer or the person forwarding the emails to me with the snide captions accompanying those shots.

    Yes, she did have a choice of being the first lady or not long before these pictures were taken, but now, she has little to say as they are of the first lady and she is on display.  That does not give anyone the OK to down play her fashion savvy.  She is living in the fish bowl of the Whitehouse for all to view and nothing else.  If you don’t like her color co-ordination, don’t send the emails to me to pick her apart. I am not interested in degrading anything Michelle wears, since I am not a model of artistic fashion design.

In the year 1801, Thomas Jefferson moved to the White House and expanded the building outward creating two colonnades together with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe. The mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington which destroys it partially in the year 1814.

It was reconstructed immediately, President James Monroe moved to the White House and reconstructed it partially in October 1817.

In 1824, the South Portico was being added and in 1829 the North Portico was also constructed. In 1901, the newly constructed West Wing became the venue of nearly all the office work of President Theodore Roosevelt as he relocated unto it because of the overcrowding of the executive mansion.

The west wing was expanded by President William Howard Taft and he also created the first Oval Office. This was eventually moved as the section was expanded. In 1927, the third-floor attic was converted to living quarters through augmenting the existing roof with long shed dormers.

An East Wing was constructed and was used as reception area for social events. The East and West Wings were connected by Jefferson’s colonnades.

Currently the White House Complex is composed of the Executive Residence where the first family resides, the West Wing where the Oval office, the Cabinet Room and the Roosevelt Room are located, the East Wing where the office of the First Lady and the White House Social Secretary are located, and the Old Executive Office Building where the offices of both the President and the Vice President of the United States where located.
