Thanks to Garden State Lady for the following info. Seems like MoveOn is taking a stand against FOX's blatantly offensive "reporting" on Obama (be sure to check out the link to that video; their bias so IN YOUR FACE).....
Dear MoveOn member,
Over 428,000 people have signed a petition telling FOX to stop their racist and hate-filled smears against Barack Obama. If we hit half-a-million signatures, we can draw media attention and put pressure on FOX's advertisers.
Plus, Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films released a video this morning documenting FOX's ongoing smears against Michelle Obama. Please check out the video, and then sign the petition calling on FOX to stop peddling racism—and then tell your friends. Just click here:

FOX is shameless: in the several weeks alone, they've "confused" Obama's name with Osama's, referred to Michelle as "Obama's Baby Mama," and called an affectionate fist bump by Barack and Michelle a "terrorist fist jab."
Our partners at ColorOfChange.org will hold a major event next week to deliver boxes and boxes of petition signatures to FOX's headquarters. If we can deliver half-a-million signatures, other media outlets will have a powerful story to report—and FOX's advertisers will get the hint that it's not a good idea to associate their products with FOX's hate-speech.
Thanks for helping to fight the right-wing smears.

P.S. Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) has a new book out, and we thought you might be interested. The Nation called Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman," and he's stood with MoveOn on numerous causes, from ending the war to stopping warrantless wiretapping in FISA. Now he's written "Fire Breathing Liberal," a fascinating account of life as an outspoken progressive in the House of Representatives. Says Comedian Stephen Colbert, "I enjoyed Congressman Wexler's book even more than I enjoy cocaine and prostitutes." You can check it out here:

Obama Family Interview: Debrief
Okay, interview was so brief that if you blinked you missed it, but here's an on the fly G-n-B debrief....
- Mailia (the older daughter, 10 years old) looks like her daddy and Sasha (7 years old) looks more like Michelle.
- I LOVED the fact that Malia had cornrows in her hair. America (Black, white and whomever) need to see that some of us are indeed happy with our natural hair - even a future First Daughter.
- Michelle's make-up was FANTASTIC!
- Revelation: Sasha lets slip that her pops don't like ice-cream (!!!!!)....Wonder what the Republicans will do with that SHOCKER....
UPDATE: My bad, interview wasn't over, they just took a commercial break (c'mon, forgive me, I'm giving you an up to the minute play-by-play after all). So more debrief....
- now that the primary is over, Michelle says Barack is home at least once a week.
- His most romantic gesture lately? He just bought her flowers and they always go out on dates.
- HER most romantic gesture lately? "I take care of your children" (LOL!!!!)
- Even though some children think it's "embarrassing," she actually likes it when mommy and daddy hold hands and hug (aww....Black love in full-effect...AMERICA, ARE YOU WATCHING!!!!!)
Obama Family Interview on NOW!!!!
Quick, turn on the TV right now! The WHOLE OBAMA FAMILY is gonna be on NBC's entertainment show "Access Hollywood." This is a big deal because they have NEVER been interviewed all together before - and for good reason. Barack apparently has told reporters that he does NOT want photos of his kids taken.
Shoot, I hear that! It's worse enough they trying to step to the man's WIFE, but the least they could do is lay off the man's chi'ren.
Talk to you later, I need to watch this

OBAMA IS GULLY! PROOF VIA TRANSLATION
Okay, I know this is a "flashback" of sorts, Obama on "Good Morning America" responding to those negative ads featuring his wife a while back, but you know I been under cover for a while....
Still, I wanna offer you the "Grits-N-Butta Translation Services" - FREE OF CHARGE! That's right. Because as poised, gracious, and diplomatic as Obama is, his response seemed to me like a thinly veiled way of him letting folk know that he's GULLY when need be. Don't believe me? Watch the video and check out the translation that follows (Oh, and two notes: The translation is only of the parts in regards to his wife, but keep watching to hear the Obamas debate about the family dog - So for real!; Also, I apologize for the image of that devil [G.W.B.] at the end. Try to cut it off before you get to it by pressing stop when Good Morning America cuts back to the studio):
OBAMA SEZ: "If they think they're gonna try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, THEY SHOULD BE CAREFUL, because that I find unacceptable."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Don't let the suit and tie fool you. F^*king with my wife is bad fo' ya health. I will bust ya azz!
OBAMA SEZ: "The notion that you start attacking MY WIFE? Or MY FAMILY?...."
GNB TRANSLATOR: And you trying to make sh*t PERSONAL??? Muth&*f#@ker WHAT!?! Iz you SERIOUS?!
OBAMA SEZ: "Michelle is the most HONEST, the BEST person I know..She is one of the most CARING people I know..."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Check it - I know ya'll bi%ch azz punks out there are NOT MAN ENOUGH to get a true QUEEN like I got, but DON'T HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S BEAUTIFUL and all your women are either fugly "Quaker-Oats-Man"-looking beasts like Barbara Bush or drunk azz hoes like the Bush Twins.
OBAMA SEZ: "Whoever's in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kinda campaign that they wanna run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Again, think about it. Do you REALLY wanna step to me? Giving ALL OF YA'LL fair warning....that's right, I said ALL OF YA'LL, don't care what team you on. What!?
MRS. OBAMA SEZ: "We're trusting that the American voters are ready to talk about the issues, and not talking about the things that have nothing to do with making people's lives better..."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Calm down, boo! Don't let them see the heat! Let me try to cool this situation down by changing the subject and bringing it back to the campaign issues...
OBAMA SEZ: "...but I also think these folks should lay off my wife. Alright. (smiles) Just in case their watching."
GNB TRANSLATOR: Uhmm...that's cool.....but, nah baby. It's okay, I got this. I'ma make it plain - BOTTOM LINE: DON'T LET MY WIFE'S NAME COME OUT CHO' MOUTH. See, my wife is too much of a LADY to bring it to you like that, but that's alright, because it's actually MY ROLE as a strong Black man to be the one to defend her, she's not out here on here alone. I know you not use to seeing a REAL Black man due to all the punks and pretenders on the music videos who treat women like garbage, but unlike them I'm READY, WILLING, AND ABLE to step up to the plate. Believe that.
G-N-B'S THOUGHTS:
I LOVE THIS MAN!!! I LOVE THIS COUPLE!!!!! BLACK LOVE PEOPLE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING IF YOU CAN GET IT!!
AND isn't Robin Roberts looking good these days, especially after battling cancer. The short hair kinda suits her. I feel like she has a connection with the Obama's that helped elicit their comfortable and candid response and a little fun banter. Let's keep an eye out for this journalist, because you know the powers that be don't like it too tough when a reporter shows too much love to constructive Black folk.
