Pneumonia: Chuck Brown's Condition, Explained
NYPD Making Changes To Stop And Frisk Policy
Move over Beyoncé there's a new Sasha Fierce taking over your alter-ego moniker: 7 year-old First Daughter Sasha Obama. In the footsteps of her fashion-forward mother Michelle, the youngest of the Obama clan is so influential style-wise that the dress Baby O wore election night while onstage with her father, President-elect Barack Obama, has been named the "Sasha" dress by maker Gerson & Gerson Inc. due to its huge response after the unexpected product placement.

The little black dress ($72) was produced under the Iris & Ivy label and will be available next spring in other fabrics, colors and more stores other than Nordstrom and Dillards, where it's currently available. Gerson & Gerson President Barbara Zeins made this comment on The Wall Street Journal's website: "If you don't deserve a beautiful dress when your Dad was just elected President of the United States , when DO you? We are proud that Sasha is wearing our dress, but even prouder that this beautiful and authentic family represents the greatest Democracy in the world. Yes WE CAN."
And if you're wondering about big sis' Malia's red dress it's by Biscotti, Inc. (www.biscottiinc.com). That number sold out in 24 hours after election night and the company (as is every other designer in the world) is hoping to dress the First Daughters for the inauguration in January.

The Obama family's impact on the fashion industry is as unprecedented as Barack's historic win. And this is before they even moved into the White House! If Barack can turn things around the way his family has (and will continue) for fashion companies, then in the words of Stevie Wonder, "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing".

I found it strange that so many white people are scared of the fact a BLACK MAN is President of the USA. Why are you so scared? WHite people has done so much to this country and world. But yet white people never gave credit to the BLACK people whose labor build this country. But when a intellgent BLACK MAN is elected President they run off to buy guns left and right. But the guns they buy are military type. Why do they need assult weapons for.
I say that since white people fucked this world so bad that things could only get better!!
If white people whose so stupid can over come their ignorence they can start to see that a BLACK man might be what this country needed.

Who really cares about people's racist remarks and insensitivity. They are an intelligent, respectable and well groomed family. It is so great to see someone of color in office for a change. It makes a person feel as though anything is now possible for minorities and all people of color. We have been oppressed enough in this Nation. More power to them all. God Bless them!

Some of the comments above just shows there are so many idiots in the world.I see someone wrote hate blacks that's funny because everyone turns black before leaving this earth ever stop to wonder why white with blue eyes get buried so quick because you also turn black you idiot. And like it or not he is your next president this is one of those situations where it is what it is. May god have mercy on your soul to be so evil. Just curious do you have any kids to make comments about children they are all very precious no matter what color i watch over all children i work with Child Protective Services imagine if your kids were removed by someone who judged you on your skin tone please you should really ask for forgiveness

Whether or not the first family is black or white, I do fel that The Obama Family is showing the traditional family and its values. They are young, fresh, clean looking and seem to all love each other very much. The Obamas have beautiful children and seem like well rounded young ladies. Maybe the younger girls and teenage girls could look up to these 2 girls as role models also. Look I know some people dont like the point that the Obamas have dark skin, but atleast have the common decency to respect the first family. Have hope in your hearts.

Jan, Since when does voicing an opinion make one classless, hateful and ignorant? I have the right to express my opinion. Look in the mirror and see who is really classless by expressing surprise that I can spell? Who are you to check my spelling? Are you the spelling police? You are truly the ignorant one! I stand by my opinion of Michele Obama and if you disagree, that's fine, you have the right to your opinion, just don't insult me for voicing mine!!!!!!!!

It is absolutely embarrassing the comments that people make about people and things that they don't know. President-Elect Obama can't do anything worse than anybody else. He hasn't even been given the opportunity, yet so many people are bad mouthing him as well as his family. You must be VERY CAREFUL the things that you say about other people because things have a way of coming back around. It could be your children or family members one day that other people ridicule. We all have issues, opinions as well as feelings. But to go as far as to put down the man's children is childish. And as far as what they wear, you may wear something that someone else may not like. To each it's own. Don't be bitter because the fact of the matter is there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that you can do about it, but complain. And even that gets old!!!!!!
