The streets are talking, and they're saying that Beyonce is interested in performing at President-Elect Barack Obama's Inauguration. Could this be true? According to the AP, Beyonce commented saying, "I can't wait. I feel like all of us, we're ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want — if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I'm there, and I'm ready. I've never been so patriotic! I'm just beyond excited." January 20, 2009 will definitely be a day in history, so I 'll keep you up-to-date on any other celebrity rumors I hear!

Recap | National African American Conference Call with Barack Obama
The African American National Conference Call was held this morning, and its goal was to bring together key, African American figures together on the eve of what can turn out to be a historic day in our nation’s history. I called in at about 10:15am, and waited about 5 minutes before the conference actually started.
Rick Wade, senior adviser to the Obama campaign, facilitated the entire call, and started off by giving a brief history of Obama’s accomplishments during the past 21 months. It was nice, but to be honest, I was too excited to hear who would speak next, so I didn’t pay much attention to what he said.
He then introduced Jim Clyburn, and I was tickled pink! I was actually on the phone (even though he couldn’t hear me) with the House Majority Whip! He spoke briefly about what he’s seen in the past 21 months, and how this election has shaped African American voters, particularly in the south. Donna Brazile then picked up, and elaborated on the amazing voter turnout for African American in the south, and she wanted to alert everyone to doublecheck their registration.
At this point, I was talking to my girl, Aura, from AllThatsFab, and before we knew it, Diddy was on the call!!! OMG! I couldn’t believe it. Granted…he was clearly reading his speech, but nonetheless, I was on the phone with Diddy. He continued to urge young, black voters to continue making change, and he wanted to take the time to commend young voters as a way of boosting their morale. He was in Florida yesterday along side Beyonce, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and Kevin Lyles as they continue to encourage everyone to vote. They are scheduled to appear in Ohio today.
Valerie Jared spoke next, and she offered similar advice as Donna Brazile, and I was still on my Diddy moment…and before I knew it, Barack Obama was on the call! YES, THE BARACK OBAMA!!! You could tell that he wasn’t reading his speech, and I became as starstruck as I would if I were to see him in person at that very moment. He summarized by saying that he is so proud by all of the efforts everyone has made towards this change, and now it is up to everyone to make sure that we ALL get out to the poles tomorrow. He closed by saying, “Tomorrow is a test of how much determination we are willing to display. We need to march. And we need to encourage everyone single person we know to march to the poles tomorrow. In 36 hours, we can be the change!”
Before I got a chance to re cooperate from Barack (yes I can now call him by his first name since we were on the phone…) and Diddy, OPRAH was on the phone. Aura and I started screaming, and I was frantically G-chatting both she and DCFab! Girl. I couldn’t believe I was on the phone with Oprah! She’s so eloquent and articulate…it literally almost takes your breath away and no I’m not hyping it! She started off by talking about how she created this visionary board and visualized Barack Obama being President. You could hear the dedication in her voice…it was almost overwhelming. Here are some other key quotes from Oprah herself:
"Nobody should go to vote alone tomorrow”
“Watching him rise to this moment...has given the people of this country to believe we can be the best that we can be..."
“He's a unifier from the moment we heard him speak of bringing together red and blue states..."
I’m still in awe as I write this….
Rev. Joseph Lowery closed off the call on a spiritual note. He stated that he had not been this spiritually moved since he preached his first sermon in 1947. He urged everyone to keep faith in GOD, and enjoy this spiritual experience.All in all, I am sooo happy that I called in because it just gave me a brand new perspective on this movement for change. Although this call included only African American key figures, the message was still the same. They want to encourage all of us … black, white, yellow, purple, or gold, to go to the polls tomorrow to be that CHANGE we seek!!!!

1 MORE DAY TO MAKE A CHANGE...VOTE OBAMA!
It didn't really hit me till just now that tomorrow, we could actually have a BLACK president. As I sit here to write this, I get so emotional because I am so proud to be part of a generation that can help bring about such CHANGE. I hope to GOD that Barack Obama is elected as our next President, but in the event that he is not, Barack Obama can walk away with his head held high because he brought about CHANGE just be defying all odds and helping our race, the African American race, do the unthinkable...he's given us HOPE, and for that, NYFab! commends you :)
As the tears stream down my face, I only hope that all of those non-believers find their way to the polls tomorrow. Dedicating one day to this effort can change your life, and the lives of all of your loved ones, FOREVER!!!

I can already tell that this election is gonna get crazy because John McCain is pullin' out all the stunts. First, he suspends his ignorance to congratulate Obama last night, and then today, he decides to announce that his running mate is a young, Alaskan governor, who is a former beauty pageant participant. John McCain has officially announced that he has chosen Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as his VP nominee. Click here to read the entire story...

POLITICS FAB: JESSE JACKSON BLAST OBAMA ON FOX
I have to say I was so disappointed in Jesse Jackson when I first watched this footage. I was even more disappointed when I heard him say he was speaking into a "hot" mic. I work in television, and I know Jesse has been doing interviews and shows for 40 years now, so I don't believe him!
Any fool knows not to say anything period, when you're mic'd up. On top of that the camera's were still rolling. I whole heartdly believe that Jesse did that on purpose. He wasn't able to win the primaries in 1988 and now he's hating on Obama. Instead of being proud of how far African Americans have come in this country he goes on national t.v. and trashes him knowingly.
He claims that Obama is putting down the black community...huh? I don't get it. He's putting down the black community by speaking to us about what we can do to make it better? These old school leaders and their old school ways can kick rocks! Isn't this what they fought so hard for during the civil rights era? Isn't this what Malcolm and Martin died for?
They fought for our generation, so we could make a change, so we could have a better tomorrow. Jesse, move out the way. Not even you can stop us now...
Yes We Can!!!!!!

DIDDY SPEAKS ON BARACK OBAMA
Until last week, Diddy, Sean, Puffy, (whatever his name is now and days) was endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. I was actually quite surprised to hear that, I thought Diddy would be all about Barack Obama.
Well, when Obama clinched the delegates to win the democratic nomination last week, Diddy put out a video endorsing him. Watch below!
