Will Michelle Obama ever run for office?

In a recent interview President Obama on on LIVE! with Kelly and Michael said that he was pretty sure his wife would not run for office. One thing I can promise you, Michelle will not run for office,” he said.

I think that would be very sad if true because I had hoped see Michelle Obama running for a House seat or a US Senate seat one day. I think she would be a great congresswoman or senator. She has the tenacity and will to win a campaign and the intelligence and know how to do a great job once elected.

so do you think that President Obama is right and that his wife wont run or could we one day we will see Mrs. Obama running for office?

Rachel Jeantel graduates high school, keeps promise to Trayvon Martin.

[SOURCE] The teenage girl who was talking to Trayvon Martin on the phone when he was shot to death in 2012 graduated high school Friday, keeping a promise she made to the slain teen about finishing school.

Rachel Jeantel graduated from high school at a Miami auditorium despite her difficulties with English being showcased in the very public trial of George Zimmerman, the man who says he shot Martin in self defense, Yahoo News reported.

Though she was a senior in high school, Jeantel had an elementary-level understanding of reading and math, so Miami defense and civil rights attorney Rod Vereen arranged for tutors for the young woman.

"I did it," Jeantel said of her accomplishment. "The witness who didn't know how to speak English knows how to speak English through the 12th grade now. I never quit."

Even Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, was at the graduation ceremony, cheering on her son's friend.

"Her coming is like having Trayvon there saying, 'You did it. You proved people wrong,' " Jeantel said.

Arsenio Hall show cancelled after one season.

[SOURCE] The Arsenio Hall Show will not continue on for its second season.

Despite renewing the late-night syndicated show for a sophomore run in February, CBS Television Distribution has instead opted to cancel the series.

“Unfortunately, The Arsenio Hall Show will not return for a second season; while there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue," CBSTVD said in a statement Friday. "Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show.”

Added Hall: "When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, we all knew it would be a challenge -- I’m gratified for the year we’ve had and proud of the show we created. I’d like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night."

Black Men Ask Obama to Include Women in Brothers Keeper Program

More than 200 African American men, ranging from a taxi driver to university professors, sent a letter to President Obama on Tuesday urging him to expand his Black male initiative to include Black girls and women, saying they were “surprised and disappointed” that the president had sought to include only half of the race to tackle community-wide issues.

After praising the president for saying that addressing the needs of those left behind is as important as anything else he is undertaking, authors of the letter wrote, “So we were surprised and disappointed that your commitments express empathy to only half of our community – men and boys of color. Simply put, as Black men we cannot afford to turn away from the very sense of a shared fate that has been vital to our quest for racial equality across the course of American history.”

The letter continued, “As African Americans, and as a nation, we have to be as concerned about the experiences of single Black women who raise their kids on sub-poverty wages as we are about the disproportionate number of Black men who are incarcerated. We must care as much about Black women who are the victims of gender violence as we do about Black boys caught up in the drug trade.”
