Barack Obama and family are on the cover of the September issue of Essence magazine. As always, they look great.

I’m not sure if the residual impact of having an African-American president is understood at this point. In the same way that rappers and basketball players have influenced the decisions of some young people in the past, (if elected) the Obamas will do the same for..

Michelle Obama via WWD ties that thought together..

“For all of this wonderful madness that comes along with our lives — the Secret Service, the cars — there are kids on Forty-seventh and King Drive who can walk two blocks and be that close for the first time to somebody who can be the president of the United States. I love that.”
