Tell em to kiss your warm ass, Jay.

Forget trying to be cute. As cold as it is here in the South (high today was 30) I would have had something covering my head too! I’d rather have a hat on ugly or not than have freaking pnuemonia!!!!

Like them dumb chicks at the club with their backs and asses out in subzero temperatures. They aint gonna catch nothing half-naked but a nasty upper respiratory infection.

Im so happy to witness Prez Obama being sworn as an American First black president.Sasha Malia and Michelle looked really beautiful

Well, it’s clearly some of u in here have issues for one, why does Jay’s hat have to bug you or even his lips its not his fault he was born that way i bet some of ya in here are not even better than him so people keep your ugly opinions or facts to your shallow minded selves you should at least appreciate that Jay went out to support Obama unlike some of u in here
Anyhoo
Bey looks nice as usual or should isay mr and mrs carter
Solange looks cute too
Aretha could have done better than that

lol at

Jay z should have to pay reparations to the zoo he escaped from. They have been nice enough to let him roam free all these years and he has never even given the apes he left behind a shout out. That is just ungrateful.

#24 I truer words were never spoken. Sadly, those bang wagon celebs only care about they’re ego and career advancement, which is why they were bragging/begging to be at the inauguration. Typical hoodrat. How much you wanna be these stars don’t give a damn about community service? Obama’s are the epitome of class. Thank God Malia and Sasha have classy parents who are positive role models and the best example of the type of person they will become. Remember black people, Obama said WE ALL HAVE TO pitch in, so don’t sit back and expect him to do all the work.

I am not here to talk about the attire because we are all human. I want to say you all be blessed and lets do our part in the YES WE WILL campaign. So stop the hating Stop the bull STUFF and start the work to healing our country. It is not how we look, How we dress nor Who we are with but it is about who we are when no one is looking so lets do our part black America …Holla Jo Craig

This is indeed a proud moment for our country!! I am actually awestruck from it all. Beyonce was fabulous as always!! Aretha Franklin people is a living legend. She has sang for Kings, Queens, Presidents. She sang At MLK’s Funeral as well. IThe inauguration would not have been an inauguration with The Queen, I love Patti. But there is a time and place for everything and that was not the place 4 da screamin and hollering. And ya’ll kno patti would have gone off… lol Aretha Franklin is the Queeen and long may she live and continue to sing…..
