obama on women’s equality

Posted by: divasoria on: June 7, 2009

the amazing speech of barack obama in cairo. it’s a little long – 55 minutes but it’s SO WORTH IT. it’s one of those speeches that will be quoted forever. my favorite part of the speech is when he got into women’s equality –
“i am convinced our daughters can contribute [...]

obama and gossip girl

Posted by: divasoria on: March 20, 2009

]
a quote from obama’s town hall in california made me feel less of a dork for being a GG fanatic -
“Is he on, like, Gossip Girl or something?” —President Obama reacting to the boisterous applause mysteriously awarded to one questioner at a town hall in Los Angeles today.
so who do you think barry loves more? [...]

the audacity of hope

Posted by: divasoria on: January 19, 2009

SERIOUSLY?
consumerism has taken a different turn. if retail sales have been languishing at its lowest point in decades, presidential paraphernalia has never been this fever-pitched since the kennedys. from toilet paper to commemorative dildos? i think it’s gotten too far. the cultural and political significance of the obama presidency is turning into a joke.

the real life west wing

Posted by: divasoria on: November 6, 2008

i LOVE the west wing. i still watch my the west wing DVDs to this day. and i think barack and his campaign were clearly inspired by aaron sorkin’s writing as the whole campaign felt like i was watching season 7 of tww when matthew santos(jimmy smits) won as president.
even barack’s apparent choice for [...]

tutu

Posted by: divasoria on: November 4, 2008

news about barack obama’s grandmother’s death woke me up this morning and definitely set a sad note on my day. on the eve of a historic election, i’m sure everybody who knows about barack’s own life story would feel some sadness as tutu, as barack fondly calls his grandmother, was the one who brought him [...]

astrology and the US presidential elections

Posted by: divasoria on: August 23, 2008

a couple of months ago, i read somewhere that a group of astrologers predicted that the next US president would be a leo and his/her vice president would be a scorpio. i know, why am i even taking astrology so seriously even with presidential elections? well, it sorta works. and call me a weirdo, but [...]

a change we can believe in?

Posted by: divasoria on: July 9, 2008

i hate it when people tell me “i told you so” . but i’ll make an exception with this one, i will go ahead and say it myself.
“i told you so”
as much as i admire barack obama, my main issue against him is his lack of experience and lack of political beliefs. hillary clinton, [...]
