Celebs Behind the Scenes at Obama “We Are One” Concert

If you’re short for time skip ahead to the 6:30 mark where Barack and Michelle greet everyone. Mr. President looks like he’d fit in well at one of my cookouts. I wonder if he’d stop through BMWK HQ???

(If the video comes up on Al Gore instead of the concert you may have to go back one screen to the left. The video you want is Show 137!)

BMWK, am I the only one who kept thinking with a name like “We Are One” there should have been a performance by Frankie Beverly and Maze at some point during the show? Did you enjoy the concert?

    I got to watch it all on tv. And just like I set the timer on the coffee pot before going to bed, hubby set the dvd player to record what he could as we trecked out the house to get to our 9-5 J O B’s. I had tears streaming down my face. Of course tears of joy. Yes, there is alot of work to be done and I think for once in a very long time everyone is up to the challenge. Former President Clinton was to me “The Peoples President”. President Obama(that felt so great to type) is also a President for us not against us. I needed to down grade the dictionary in my brain to figure out what the heck Bush was saying 99% of his years in office. With President Obama in office I may have to dust off the dictionary in my head. LOL. There is nothing more appealing than a man with wisdom, strength, vision and so much “cool, calm and collective (ness). I so much love Our First Family. I love the “Young Energy”. Don’t get me wrong I cried when Slick Willy was President. Chels(the former first daughter) turned out so beautiful. Not just with brains but with true beauty inside and out. I am pleased that the ex Senator Hillary is our Sec Of State. Everything does happen for a reason. I was kind of upset with Hillary for her under the belt punches when she was running for President. I have always belived in my heart that in my lifetime I would see a black man as President but I thought a White woman would be first. It just goes to show that you can’t mess with what is deemed as “ones DESTINY”.

    I watched the concert. Since I’m a jazz fan, there wasn’t enough jazz for me. :) Too much guitar playing.

    Where was Frankie Beverly, His song would have been perfect. Please let us know if he was a supporter of Barrack Obama and will he be at the Essence Festival this year. I hope he was asked to be a part of the HBO concert, but may have been a little from from that A list. If so I would just like to hear that he will be at Essence Festival turning it out!
