2. What a Jip! I thought I was going to see some footage of Obama's

"swagga"!

4. i couldn't believe they were ACTUALLY having a conversation about

'swagger'. wtf! if mccain were president would anyone be talking about 'swagger'?

[Thrill]

5. Remember her reverse oreo joke?

I think there is something going on with Kyra and T.J :)

People in Atlanta, you ever see those two out together? lol

10. Yeah, I am sure that there was alot more than bumping going on later that night.

Although I not sure which one wore the Barack Obama custume. Maybe they took turns.

7. Here's what I noticed: Besides the fact that the premis is untrue....

I noticed that when Barbie said it she said "swagga," and when buppy said it he said "swagger." WHY do white anchors feel the need to "talk black" to black folks, even black folks who don't "talk black?" Even to the point of saying something that even the most ebonics fluent black folks don't say?

Oh, and the premise that Pres. Obama has a swagger not seen in ANY previous President is demonstrably false: Kennedy, Clinton. I am pretty sure they were both white and I have it on good authority they were also both POTUS.

8. Isn't that what Bush did...

that John Waynish wannabe stuff? Hands way out like he's going to a gun fight at the OKay Corral

9. Bush's swagger: "In Texas, it's called walking", remember? (NT)
