On Wednesday (Sept. 7,)  Essence Magazine revealed their October cover issue of Barack and Michelle. The lovely couple shared what they learned during Obama’s eight-year tenure and what they hope to achieve with the lasting presence of their respective initiatives like My Brother’s Keeper, Let’s Move, Let Girls Learn and more.

The First Lady shared with Essence her hopes for the young, gifted and black children of the nation. “I think when it comes to Black kids, it means something for them to have spent most of their life seeing the family in the White House look like them,” Mrs. Obama said. “It matters. All the future work that Barack talked about, I think over these last few years, we’ve kind of knocked the ceiling of limitation off the roofs of many young kids; imaginations of what’s possible for them. And as a mother, I wouldn’t underestimate how important that is, having that vision that you can really do anything—not because somebody told you, but because you’ve seen and experienced it. I think that will be a lasting impact on our kids.”

For their 50th anniversary issue, Cosmpolitan Magazine tapped the six Jenner/Kardashian women as their cover stars.

So many Americans have called them out saying it is tasteless and disrespectful to name them America’s first family when they are actually not. See some of the tweets below…

The rumors that Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage is on the rocks are back, and this time they carry an added piece of gossip.

According to the National Enquirer, Michelle is unhappy with her husband because he has been getting his flirt on… with Caroline Kennedy. “He immediately started flirting up a storm, while Michelle could barely keep her temper in check. Even though both their families were there, it was really intense. At one point later, Barack ‘jokingly’ suggested to Caroline that the two go skinny-dipping! While they didn’t end up swimming nude, Barack and Caroline did sneak off to talk politics over lunch and swam in the ocean with the rest of the group. Before the day was over, Michelle was seething and furious. After they returned to their rented compound, she lit into Barack and read him the riot act,” said a source.

Kenyan Lawyer Offers Obama 50 Cows, 70 Sheep, 30 Goats to Marry Daughter Malia

A Kenyan lawyer named Kiprono Matagei has made public his special request to US President Barack Obama.

One of Kiprono’s dream is to marry Barack’s first daughter Malia so he has announced that he is ready to pay 50 cows, 70 sheep, and 30 goats as bride price. And he is ready to meet Obama to discuss the matter when Obama visits in July.

Kenya Digest reports that Kiprono said:

“I got interested in her in 2008. As a matter of fact, I haven’t dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my family and they are willing to
help me raise the bride price”

The young lawyer claims his love for Malia is real, not infatuation.

People might say I am after the family’s money but that is not the case. My love is real. I am currently drafting a letter to Obama asking him to please have Malia accompany him for this trip. I hope the embassy will hand the letter to him. I will hand it over to the US Ambassador with whom we have interacted several times.

What is disturbing here is that as at 2008 when Kiprono says he fell in love with Malia, she was just 10 years old.

Kiprono also added that should Obama accept his request, his engagement to the ‘love of his life’ will be a unique one.

“If my request is granted, I will not resort to the cliché of popping champagne. Instead, I will surprise her with mursik , the traditional Kalenjin sour milk, as an indication that she is my queen. I will propose to her on a popular hill in Bureti near my father’s land where leaders and warriors are usually crowned. Ours will be a simple life. I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali and prepare mursik like any other Kalenjin woman”

Malia Obama is 16, set to turn 17 on July 4.
