Finally an agreement on the stimulus package!

The House and Senate finally came to an agreement on President Obama's stimulus package, barring some last minute mishap. This whooper of a bill is going to cost the US $789 billion (man that is a lot of cheese!). The compromise was basically summed up as creating more jobs than the original Senate bill and spending less than the original House bill. Obama and his staff a huge mountain to climb to get this country back on its feet, but I guess this is a start.

Less Than 24 Hours

In Less Than 24 hours...The Dream Changes... YES WE CAN...YES WE WILL

He'll Be Coming Round The Mountain When He Comes

President Elect Obama is on an Amtrak train that departed from Philadelphia on its way to Washington D.C. He will make stops in Delaware to pick up Biden and in Baltimore. This is reminiscent of the same ride that Lincoln took on his way to D.C. to be inaugarated. HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!!

Check out this wax figure of Obama being displayed in Berlin, Germany. They did a damn good job.

President Elect Barack Obama has been introduce to the DMV. He was at Ben's Chilli Bowl last week with Mayor Fenty and Ben's Chilli Bowl had the Go-Go blasting, place was packed, and just much love almost to the point where the man could walk through the city without Secret Service. President-Elect Obama even showed the DC natives that he can talk a little slang. Man I love my new President..

Barack The Magic Negro?

The national GOP loses again with a new controversy over the "Barack the Magic Negro" song. Here are the song and lyrics for those who want to make up their own minds. Chip Saltsman recently sent Republican National Committee members a CD that included the song by comedian Paul Shanklin. Saltsman is seeking the chairmanship of the RNC. He said the song was part of the "light-hearted political parodies" he sent to the members.

Just in case any of you want to know if DLR is offended by this song. No, because BARACK IS THE MAGIC NEGRO! HE'S THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT...GET OVER IT!

THE REPUBLICANS STAY LOSING! JANUARY 20TH NUKKAS!

Will Work For Obama

Over 330, 000 people have filed applications to work for the Obama administration. Thats compared to 44,000 applications filed for the Bush administration and the 137,000 that filed for the Clinton administration. Looks like Obama will have the cream of the crop to pick from. The three leading factors for such a large pool of participants include the following.

• The ease with which applicants can apply online at www.change.gov.
• The desire to help the country during an economic crisis.
• The pent-up energy of Democrats waiting on the sidelines through eight years of a Republican White House.

Change is a coming!

AWWW.. I'M GONNA TELL MICHELLE

There's a big rumor floating around the DMV that Ms. Oprah Winfrey is looking to purchase a $50 million dollar home in Georgetown. $50 mil WTF!!! Supposedly to be closer to the New President Elect. There was talk awhile back that Ms. Oprah had a serious crush on the New Pres. I wonder how Mrs. Obama feels about that, can you say burn baby burn. LOL.. Because I am sure that if Mrs. Winfrey gets to close too Barack, Michelle will beat that azz. Oprah may be rich and played a good role in the Color Purple by kicking Lil Harpo azz but my money is on Michelle Obama right now. Now if Oprah is just coming to DC to find a good man. She can start looking within DLR.. LOL

Obama is coming to town!!!

For those of you coming out to DC to welcome the First Black President here is some additional information about the inauguration:

1.There will be NO holding "spots" overnight. Security will be setup and they are projecting the start time for letting people in, at around 4AM. Not before

2.You will "probably" only get to see one event or the other due to security and crowds. In other words....those who attend the swearing in ceremony have gone through security and those who are lining up through the parade route have gone through security. By the time the swearing in ceremony is completed (should be no longer than an hour to an hour and a half) you still would have to make your way to somewhere on the parade route but that will have been already filled up.

3.The U.S. Secret Service has deemed the Inauguration as a special national security event and due to security measures, the Archives-Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter Metrorail station on Metro's Green and Yellow Lines, will be closed all day on Inauguration Day, Tuesday, January 20. In addition one of two entrances to the Smithsonian Metrorail station on the Blue and Orange Lines will also be closed. The Smithsonian station entrance on the National Mall will be closed. The Independence Ave SW entrance will remain open.

4.The 4 million persons number comes from the DC Mayors office which is a projection based on the number of people with 3 square feet of room can stand all the way back to the Washington monument. Although this is "figure" number, even conservatively we should expect around 1 to 1 ½ million people.

5.With that many people coming to this event, a good strategy to do is to plan to do other activities while the first sets of people take Metro. Metro (subway) can only carry 120,000 per hour so it will take some time to clear out. I recommend visiting a museum or seeing a movie or visiting capital hill

6.Metrorail will operate rush hour service for 15 consecutive hours (4 a.m. to 7 p.m.), will stay open for two extra hours (until 2 a.m.), offer free parking at its facilities and will be one important transportation alternative for people who are planning to attend the Inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

BaMack Obama

Check out these photos of President Elect Obama back in his college days. He wearing that hat aint he. Play on playa!

"TIME" MAGAZINE MAN OF THE YEAR

DLR is not suprised at all by the selection of Barack Obama being named Time’s Person of the Year. WE TAKIN' OVER!!!!

Get Paid Off Obama!

The governor of Illinois was just charged with trying to sell the senate seat vacated by President Elect Obama. WTF? Dis bama had it all worked out...check out the details below. SMDH

Rod Blagojevich has been intercepted conspiring to trade the senate seat for particular positions that the President-elect has the power to appoint (e.g. the Secretary of Health and Human Services). Rod Blagojevich has also been intercepted conspiring to sell the Senate seat in exchange for his wife’s placement on paid corporate boards or Rod Blagojevich’s placement at a private foundation in a significant position with a substantial salary. Rod Blagojevich has also been intercepted conspiring to sell the Senate seat in exchange for millions of dollars in funding for a non-profit organization that he would start and that would employ him at a substantial salary after he left the governorship.

Tough Times Ahead

President Elect Obama (love saying that) was on Meet The Press yesterday and told Tom Brokaw that tough times were still ahead. Time to tighten those purse strings even tighter when a realist like Obama has words like that. In a related story, Brokaw questioned Obama about his smoking habits like he don't have the right to smoke. That man is the First Black President. Do you know how much stress is involved in that? He might quit the cigarettes but I guarantee in the next four years Obama will need some of the stickiest of the ickiest to deal with some of the bullshyt he will encounter. I aint mad at him...actually...he should holla at your boy.
