Capital in this must have pomp and circumstance. President obamas first state of the union since his reelection will be ambitious in his vision and no doubt punctuated. Maybe some of us watching at home will be applauding. If you are near a television, the state of the union will be unavoidable. The networks and cable news will, as always, broadcast walltowall coverage of the speech.

He didnt see it coming, and so didnt his closest aides. As we know, when benedict was named as pope, he was one of the oldest popes to take over that job. George, let me talk to you about the fact that we are hearing all the different reactions coming in now just from H
And choreography during the nearly three hour Funeral Service for Hadiya Pendleton. Her casket at front of the Greater Harvest Baptist Church on the south side as mourners paid their respects. Before the service, first Lady Michele Obama spent about 30 minutes with pendletons closest friends and relatives. Mrs. Obama then greeted the other dignitaries and leaders who attended the funeral. The most moving part of the service was the five minutes Hadiya Pendletons mother spoke to the congregation . You dont know everything, you dont know how hard this really is. And those of you that do no hard this is, im sorry. Im sorry. Cleopatra pendleton smiled and laughed as she remembered her daughter. She also offered advice to other parents it starts with the small things. When your children try to talk to you, listen.
