    Last night when President Obama, that’s right I said President Obama arrived with the first lady. He was so awesome, the way he took her hand and dance with his wife was amazing.

    Yesterday was truly a day in history. The Obama are the hottest couple on the planet Pure 100% of CLASS !!!!!

    That man loves his wife and kids. I admire and love all that Barak, sorry President Obama represents. He is truly AWESOME !!!! There is no question that man will run the country to best of his ability. We went from having the worst US President to having the best US President. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME !!!!

  8. Phillyfashionista

    OMG…everybody looks GREAT!!!

  9. NicoleW

    Kanye! Please. That mess on your head is not cute. And then the gloves.. SMH.. Umm Usher, what does the 1 mean? Your album flopped. (i brought it though).. I see you Bill, where you been hiding? And Sway shouldn’t host black tie events if they make him wrap his dreads up every time. But then again they’re always wrapped up, so maybe it’s him.

    But honestly, every one looked nice.

    The Obama’s were busy that night. It’s gonna be a while before they get a decent nights sleep.

    I loved the idea of the youth ball. I’m so glad that President Obama reaches out to the old, young, rich, middle class, and poor. I also liked the idea of the neighborhood ball too. He just keeps it real.

  12. Compton's Finest

    This looked liek the Ball to be at! I loved seeing teh Obama’s share that moment. Michelle looked absolutely beautiful! Barack looked so handsome. Yesterday was a momentous day! One for the history books. Glad I could be a part of it.

    With that said: What’s going on with Kanye’s hair? LOL! He gets a pass!

    Usher looks good as usual.

  13. VARI

    Loooove that Kanye smile and his eyes in that picture with Usher. Kanye falls short when he tries too hard with his fashion. He don’t need all the gloves, chains, and crazy sunglasses.

    That said, Pete Wentz could of at least put on a damn suit lookin like a stank wet dog. Shoot, even Kid Rock had the decency to put on a button up and a vest.

    Everyone else looks good. GO Obama!!!

  14. S's

    I have nothing but hope for Kanye…. but I couldn’t help but think how much he looked like Randy Watson from Coming to America with that mullet. SEXUAL CHOCOLATE. SEXUAL! CHOCOLATE!

  15. MLOVE

    Has anyone else noticed how Rosario Dawson is always hanging on to someone’s husband!?!?

  16. It’s so much going on in DC you can’t keep up!!

    It’s great to see everyone celebrating

  17. Ms Kenya

    Kayne looks nice when he smiles! I don’t know why, but I am so attracted to Kid Rock is such a sexy white dude to me… LOL!

  18. AlexIS

    Mr. and Mrs. Obama!! Set it out and looked amazing. Their dance to At Last was so cute…..Black Love at it’s best!!
    Number 14.. Yesssssss!!!! The Coming to America-do. That’s the exact thing I was thinking…IDK what’s going on with this unkempt homeless look Kanye is flaunting, but it’s doing nothing for me except maybe laugh and shake my head.
    On another note, glad Usher cleaned up….looking reminiscent of his Confessions days.

  19. Keke

    Everybody looks wonderful!! OBAMA!!!

  20. dale23

    I HATE KANYE’S HAIR WITH A PASSION.

  21. ☆ Lola A♏ ★

    I would’ve loved to be at any of these official balls!

    Kanye, I love you, but cut that ish off! PLEASE!!!!

  22. Pink&Green

    OMG KANYE!!! What the hell is up with your hair?

    I swear sometimes he tries too hard to be unique and retro

  23. 4000 words

    Kanye looks a damn mess!

    Notice that now Rosario has a film out all of a sudden she’s hanging around with black people, before she was like im not black, im not latino- when her mum is afro-cuban-typical

  24. bassackwards

    I like Pete Wentz t-shirt.
    Usher and Rosario picture is cute.
    Why is Demi at the youth party? She should be at the seniors ball.

  25. Everybody is sharp!

    Will sway ever untie his head!

  26. yep yep

    angel, kanye just shouted u out on his blog! haha

    http://www.kanyeuniversec...0&em3161=&em3281=

    “Angel always picks the best pics..”

  27. @14…

    I’m a DIE HARD Coming to America fan… Randy Watson had a curl w/ bangs, not a mullet! lol

    Sorry couldn’t help myself

  28. JUDAH

    Lmao, this negro Kanye is too much. He’s wants to be different and eccentric so bad that he ends up trying to bring back things and styles that were already done. The man got a shag like Bruce Leroy.

  29. she she

    WAS KANYE TRYING TO MAKE A HAIR DUE STATEMENT.. HIM AND JAYZ. HOWEVER KANYE’S LOOKED A MESS. DUEDS IN MY AREA AING GOING FOR THAT HAIR CUT.

  30. I see Usher left ole girl @ the house………What a smart man. LOL

    Everybody looks nice, except for yo man Kanye!!! Could somebody please get his hair CUT!!!

  31. Kanye always got BEEF with MTV but his ass ALWAYS THERE WHAT A HYPOCRIT!!!!!!!

  32. politicallyincorrect

    Kanye, now thats a rapper I wouldn’t mind singing for our new president.

  33. MRS. SK8BOARD P (AK AND BK STAN)

    Kanye needs to really cut that…i love him, but that hairstyle is not cute

  34. S's

    @27~

    This is his pre Soul-Glo look. A lil activator and he would have been singing, “I believe the chiiiildren are our fu-u-ture” (in auto tune, of course) and dropping that red mic.

    Other than that, brotha is looking extravagant.

  35. Gossip Gurl

    Everyone looks very nice (Kanye would look better with a shorter haircut, though). Seems like it was a great event … I would have loved to have been there!!

  36. HOTMOMMA001

    USHER looks hella sexy! (Not so much lately but here, WOW!)
    Kanye- Get to the barbershop and QUICK!
    Am I the only one who thinks that the Obamas are like the HOTTEST couple of 2009!
    Move ova Will and Jada as well as Jay Z and Bey!

    Everybody else, uh huh!

  37. sistah4real

    EVERYONE LOOKS GREAT, TODAY WAS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. I LOVE THE FIRST FAMILY AND I LOVE ALL SISTERS AND BROTHERS OF COLOR IN AMERICA.

  38. Lady B

    Why does Sway wear that towel on his head ALL the time?

  39. Doland

    We need our president to issue an EXECUTIVE ORDER immediately to address affirmative action GONE WRONG!

    As unlikely as it may sound, millions of immigrants and foreign visitors are eligible for — and many are actually using — affirmative-action benefits to get a head-start on U.S.-born minorities, not to mention white Americans. In effect, they are getting off the plane and moving right to the head of the line.

    How is this possible? In the late 1960s, it simply never occurred to government planners that there would be so many aliens in the U.S. or that so many would be considered minorities.

    The results can be startling. Take, for example, a company that has a goal to hire ten blacks. Nothing says these have to be African Americans, and they well may not be. All ten may be people who until now spent their entire lives in another country.

    Whatever the long-term fate of affirmative action, Congress and the Administration should act now to put a stop to this bizarre extension of the program. A mere paragraph or two of legislation and a short executive order could end affirmative action for immigrants — the entitlement nobody planned and hardly anyone wants.

  40. Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

    While this is one of Kanye’s better looks (in SOME of the pictures), I still feel like he’s slipping down the tubes. Something is going on with that guy.

  41. TAMEKA NOT USHER WIFE LOL

  42. 38

    Probably cause his locks are too long and too much to handle.

    Remember Erykah Badu rocked that head wrap for the longest before she decided to just cut them off

  43. Jazz

  44. Nicolet

  46. NO ID

    Tameka not Usher’s wife…Tameka WAS there. I saw her come in with Usher while I was waiting backstage. She looked fab.

    The Youth Ball was fun, though many people including me got locked out of the main room. Oh, well, I still saw the Obamas and had fun.
