Yes, there was a baby tossed in a washing machine. Late last week, a clip starting floating around which featured a man putting a toddler into a front-load washing machine at a laundromat in Camden, New Jersey. In a poor attempt to play with the child, the unidentified male shut the door, not realizing that the machine would automatically start (VIEW VIDEO).. The baby tumbled in the machine for about five minutes and was luckily rescued by a laundromat employee who successfully turned off the machine.
Sakia David, the mother of the 1-year-old toddler, Saimeir Bush spoke out about the situation on MSNBC’s Today show explaining that she wasn’t aware of the event happening, how she didn’t know the man in the clip and had in fact left her son to be babysat by her female friend, Sandra who was also in the clip. The 24-year-old single mother made it clear that she will be pressing charges against her friend:
I just want to tell Sandra, ‘This is not over because everybody said on the news that I wasn’t pressing charges and I am.’ [...] I left my child in her custody. She sat there and watched him put my baby in a washer. So it was both of their fault. I don’t care how much they say it’s not her fault. That’s her fault, too.

On Sat., May 5, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off the Obama re-election campaign with rallies at Ohio State University in Columbus and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
Speaking at the rallies before introducing her husband, Mrs. Obama said: “This journey is going to be long and hard. But that’s how all change happens in this country.”
Barack cannot do this alone. And fortunately, he never has. We have always moved this country forward together. And today, more than ever before, Barack needs your help…He needs every single one of you — every single one of you to give just a little part of your life each week to this campaign…We have come so far, but we have so much more to do. And if we want to keep on moving forward then we need to work our hearts out for the man that I have the pleasure of introducing here today.

Michelle Obama is arguably the most stylish First Lady the White House has seen since Jackie Kennedy, and as such she’s made many a best dressed list. She’s no stranger to putting together a fabulous, but I have to say this is hands down my favorite Michelle Obama look we’ve seen so far.
At the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Mrs. O had everything perfectly styled. Her hair, makeup, and gorgeous Naeem Khan Fall 2011 gown come together to create quite the fetching look.
Kerry Washington is a celeb who’s considered one of Hollywood’s fashion elite. She’s known for her impeccable sense of style and for bringing an air of sophistication to any outfit she dons, sophistication that definitely wasn’t lacking in her Correspondents’ Dinner look.
Kerry opted to go minimal, yet timeless in a coral Calvin Klein long-sleeved dress, soft makeup, and a simple ponytail to complete her look. She accessorized with Dean Harris earrings, and a Roger Vivier snakeskin clutch.

President Barack Obama poked fun at himself, Republican opponents, the Secret Service and more during the 98th annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner held on Sat., April 28, at the Washington Hilton.
He noted that he and presumed Republican nominee Mitt Romney both have degrees from Harvard, but Mr. Romney has two. The President joked, “What a snob.” He also revealed the “secret agenda” expected from his second term in office: “In my first term, I sang Al Green. In my second term, I’m going with Young Jeezy,” adding “Michelle said, ‘Yeeeeah.’ I sing that to her sometimes.” View full speeches and photos of celebrities in attendance below.
