Nov. 4th 2008 – Barack Obama elected as POTUS, the first African-American. Prop 8, which bans same-sex marriage, passes in CA.
May 26th 2009 – Obama nominates Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and the 3rd woman, to replace Justice Souter on the US Supreme Court. CA Supreme Courts upholds Prop 8 denying the Gay/Lesbian community equal rights.
As if we couldn’t love him enough, POTUS Barack Obama slayed at the annual White House Correspondence Association dinner this past Saturday. It’s been a while since there has been a President that I could watch without wanting to: a) throw up b) throw the TV against the wall c) throw a shoe at. So it is a refreshing change to have one that I look forward to seeing. As hoped, Pres. Obama delivered a great comic routine at the WHCD aka Nerd Prom.
It was interesting to see all the coverage from this dinner which had an increased number of celebrities attending. The inter-webs were all a twitter about it also. To the point that the C-Span twitter feed included the #nerdprom hashtag alongside the more official #whcd hashtag and MSNBC made jokes about it.
