Cosby Show Reunion on Oprah on Tuesday!

Calling all Cosby Show fans!!!!

On Tuesday, February 12, 2008 the Oprah Winfrey Show will feature a Cosby Show reunion. You all know the time and channel for the Oprah Winfrey show in your respective cities. If not, go on to Oprah's webpage to find out. What a great show the Cosby show was. I'm looking forward to seeing the reunion show and hearing from the cast about what it meant to them at the time to be a part of such a visionary show. I'd also like to know what cast members are doing now and how they view current television programming featuring African-Americans. I'm pretty sure of what Bill Cosby's stance is on the issue because he's been pretty vocal these past few years about his opinion on the State of Black America. Mr. Cosby has expressed extreme disappointment in the State of Black America. His most recent book, "Come on People" features his opinion on Black affairs. I haven't read it, so maybe I'll go and pick it up from library or read it at Borders or Barnes and Noble bookstores.

Obama Rally With Oprah and Friends at UCLA -- Awesome!

On Sunday, Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy, Michelle Obama and suprise guest Maria Shriver appeared at UCLA to promote Sen. Obama's candidacy for President of the United States to Californians. The event was held two days before "Super Tuesday" a day in which Californians and voters from many other states around the country will cast their vote for their parties nomination for president. I watched this rally on C-SPAN and it was absolutely awesome! I loved Oprah's line in responding to disdain from women who claim that she is a traitor to her gender because she supports Obama. Oprah said,

After Iowa, some woman had the nerve to say to me, How could you, Oprah? How could you? You're a traitor to your gender. . . I was both surprised by that comment and insulted because I've been a woman my whole life and every part of me believes in the empowerment of women but the truth is I'm a free woman. Being free means you get to think for yourself. So I say, I am not a traitor . . I'm just following my own truth and that truth has led me to Barack Obama. . . . Don't play me small. I'm not that small. . . I would never vote for anybody because of gender or race. I'm not voting for Barack Obama because he's black. I'm voting for Barack Obama because he's brilliant."(SOURCE).

It is wonderful to see women with their own minds, exercising free-will to endorse the candidate who they believe is best for them and the country. Michelle, in my opinion, gave the best speech of the day when she talked about all that her husband has triumphantly overcome. It was a motivating and inspiring rally. Oh yeah, I can't forget Stevie. Stevie Wonder sang a beautiful melody to Obama's name. I haven't been able to get the melody out of my head. Awesome!
