That's Obama with a bad toupee!
A Headline that only really works in the the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
I call bogus, and inciting hate, just by the title of the article alone.
Let this young and attractive person screw up on her own accord, Thats my take.. Everyone should get a fresh start. AKA hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
She accepted a post, she may regret it, but till we hear how she carries heself, I’ll not pass judgement on her.
Note: she probably will do badly, but we must allow an administration the full right to make fools of themselves. Gives us ammo to attack the admin..
Oh. You said Zulu. Nevermind.
Lighten up, Francis. It's an actual title that's awarded in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Sheesh.
A great headline for all those outside of New Orleans.
A probem? No,I am a proud owner of painted Coconuts that I caught at Zulu Parades.
Attractive? You must need glasses.
A Zulu Coconut from the Krewe of Zulu.
New Orleans is a different world and most Yankees do not understand but you can axe me if ja want.
And a fine bunch of coconuts it is for the White House.
Holy Cow ! the whole she-he thang !
this has got to be a very large accident of extreme bad judgement:her+Monica+the Hil&Billy team ? please don’t tell me about Rev Al & Jesse & Jesse,Jr...maybe this is just a warm-up oh lordy lordy i’m taking the gas
I do not even like Obama or Michelle, but it has to do with their ideology. They are accidents waiting to happen.
I actually appreciate the culture of America's people of color and the beauty of some of the community's ladies. This poor lady will be caught in the middle between Michell and The One, and likely will be wrongly blamed on some issue.

BTW, that photo Solid posted was Desiree in college. Her current appearance is much more elegant.
Sizobonana!
Things are gonna be very different in the White House.
You’re lucky you caught the coconuts. Back in the day you could get rendered unconscious if you weren’t looking the right way when they threw those things.
It has been years since they threw the coconuts. Most are handed to people from the side of the float. It helps if you know someone.
Once in a while one gets tossed bet never thrown. I can’t Imagine how I would feel if were on a four day bender only to be nailed in the head with a coconut at 8:00 Mardi Gras morning.
i like what you’ve posted tho’ I’ve got a question for you..Do ya’ think Ray Nagin is gonna’ get an inside too?
