My boyfriend and I spend our weeknights making romantic dinners, dancing to Frank Sinatra in the living room, working out, reading or playing games.

When President Obama said that he wanted to come into this administration and get straight to work, he wasn’t kidding. In addition to the Economic Stimulus Package, taking residence in a new home, putting the kids in a new school and basically running the free world, it’s now possible that he might have to get up for a 3:00 a.m. diaper change.

Every biweekly, fortnightly that is, I like to forget about coming up with something semi-unoriginal and go full monty on something wholly unoriginal (on my part).

Throughout his political career, she has been an asset. A Princeton grad, she's a Chicago native from the city's South Side. That … Read More

Before they make love tonight (and we're assuming they will), Barack and Michelle Obama will have some choice words for each other, and we can only imagine what they are. Actually, someone (who wishes to remain anonymous) already has. Here are five things the newly-elects might say before they get down and dirty.

Barack: Do you realize you're about to do it with the future leader of the free world? 

Michelle: I can think of one thing that doesn't need to change.

Barack: This mouth isn't tired from that acceptance speech you know. 

Michelle: I think Barack Jr. must … Read More

Rubbing salt in open wounds, Huffington Post has rounded up a slideshow of Barack and Michelle Obama nuzzling, kissing and cuddling. The couple has already earned praise for being a model of a healthy, happy relationship. I mean, really, how in-love are these two? It's enough to melt a Republican's heart!
