May GOD be praised and glorified through the presidency of Obama! I believe the woman of GOD to his left is Presiding Prelate Vashti McKenzie. I heard her preach at The Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship Pastors and Ministry Workers Conference last year. I was wonderfully fed by that word!

I love this photo! My mother emailed it to me this week. Its showing what a lot of Black people are probably doing at home on their own all the time, praying that nothing bad happens to Obama and that he can make things better.

Couldn't disagree with Tahani more. If this were a PR cover-up Obama's team would have made sure it was on TV or in a news article. I saw this for the first time in a random email forward... this picture is a hidden gem. Obama haters get ready.

This is a wonderful picture. My family and I often talk about how difficult this all must be on him and how it's just the beginning. When he is president no matter how hard he tries he is going to have a significant group of people who hate him and feel he is doing terrible (poor, rich, Latino, White, immigrants, college students, mothers...who knows). He can't please everyone and if he tries he end up doing nothing, doing something horrible or just breaking. We should all pray for him and his family.

Wow, the balding gentleman (I know, which one) in the gray suit right next to Obama on his left shoulder is my uncle..Bishop Garnett Henning.

The completely bald gentleman in the bow-tie is Bishop Bryant -- very dynamic speaker, too.

FYI this was taken at the 48th Quadrennial Session of the AME Church in St. Louis, MO on July 5, 2008. Rev. Dr. Vashti Murphy McKenzie (with the redish hair on the left) is the first woman to be bishop in the AME church. She spoke at my college baccalaureate! (Spelman '03)
