“I was actually born there. But I saw it as a wonderful, small apartment building. That’s how I remember it. But now when I pass it, it’s — I was like, God, I never saw that apartment in the way that I’m seeing it now.”
– Michelle Obama

A Spanish magazine found it good taste to portray our country’s first African American first lady Michelle Obama as a slave on its cover.

A genealogical and historical record website has linked the 44th President of the United States to the country’s first document African slave.

In an interview with NPR, First Lady Michelle Obama called the death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old boy gunned down by a neighborhood watchman, a “tragedy.”

GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich appeared on Piers Morgan talk show Thursday night and was asked to comment on the Trayvon Martin case.

President Obama addressed an audience at a campaign fundraiser in New York City on Thursday, March 1. “We ended torture, we promoted human rights. We made it clear America’s a Pacific power,” Obama told an audience. “We are leading by the power of our moral example.”
