YES WE CAN!
Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama
So it’s finally happened. The winds of change have blown in and cleared the air of discontent around the world. And while the cynics scoff I feel like we’ve all been very fortunate to witness what will perhaps be remembered as the most significant moment in the history of our generation. Barack Obama – here’s a man who represents freedom, truth, equality and change; and suddenly the political arena has a charismatic icon everyone is watching, so move over Hollywood.
Robert Downey Jr.
(By the way is it just me or is his new chief of staff Rahm Emanuel aka “Rahmbo” the spitting image of Robert Downey Jr.?) I bet someone in Hollywood’s already writing the screenplay. This should be fun.
Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas put together this amazing representation of Obama’s inspiring “Yes we can” speech. Check it out!

It is indeed an experience of a lifetime which will surely go down in history..I have a thought to add though which stems from the statement he made in relation to seances in the White house..when asked if he had spoken to past presidents of the US ofA he said that he had spoken to all those alive as “he did not want to get into the Nancy Reagan thing of seances”..He seemed to have his facts wrong when he mentioned Nancy Reagan’s name as it was not her,but reportedly, Hillary Clinton who used to have seances ..Looks like after 8 years of Bush-isms, United States has found a suitable replacement for its predecessor:)..In all seriousness, here’s hoping that he comes better prepared for press conferences during his tenure and avoids making such casual, off handed remarks, which in fact might be in bad taste.

[...] While visiting the capital she expressed a desire to have a dish in her own name at Delhi’s most famous restaurant (Bukhara at theMaurya Sheraton)which already has two platters dedicated to her husband and daughter. A beaming Mrs. Clinton, wearing a turquoise business suit, expressed her wishes saying, “I hope so that they have my own dish. I would like it very much!” The five-star’s menu has a ‘Presidential Platter’ named after former US President Bill Clinton, and a ‘Chelsea Platter’, named after their daughter Chelsea Clinton. The three had visited India and stayed at the hotel in 2000, when Bill was prez and had dined at the Bukhara. (I wonder why she didn’t get one then?) The Presidential Platter costs Rs.4,700 ($97) and includes non-vegetarian food that Clinton ordered and the Chelsea Platter, priced at Rs.4,200 ($86) features vegetarian dishes that Chelsea picked. The two dishes continue to be served till date and are a hit with guests. I think its time they bumped something desi Obama likes to the top of that menu dontchya think? Yes We Can. [...]
