Is Michelle Obama pregnant?

I’m ashamed of myself for this, but I can’t be the only one who’s starting to wonder about what appears to be a little weight gain in our First Lady. Hey, it’s a stressful job. I get it. But is she gaining weight, or is she pregnant? You decide.

The President and First Lady arrive for a graduation at the New Economic School in Moscow on Tuesday.

Okay, it’s hard to tell in that pic, but what about this one?

Looks to me like a five- or six-month bump, which could mean… [counts back to the inauguration]… wow. I really hope I’m right!

When is progress not ENOUGH progress?

The White House – Celebrating LGBT Pride Month

The President and First Lady hosted the first-of-its-kind LGBT Pride Month reception at the White House yesterday [June 29th]. On the heels of the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the reception brought together LGBT families, volunteers, community leaders, lawmakers and heads of LGBT organizations to celebrate the LGBT community.

In his remarks, the President stressed that although we’ve made progress towards equality and fairness for all, there are still more challenges to face.

Yeah, okay. I’m really hoping Obama doesn’t sell out on this issue the way Clinton did but so far, it’s not looking good.
