After a brilliant victory and an exceptional campaign, President-elect Barack Obama must now begin to work incessantly to bring to fruition all the promises of change and unity he ran for. While some Republicans are still bitterly lambasting Obama for running what they call a “superficial campaign,” there is no denying that the majority of Americans disagree. Last night, 52% of the popular vote afforded Obama’s 349 electoral votes compared to John McCain’s 162, winning him the election. Not quite a land but not a close call either.
But what’s next for Mr. President? Well, there is no more time to celebrate. With inquiring eyes are all on Mr. Obama, questions emerge. Will he be capable of transforming his campaign-rhetoric into a governing-realism? In the coming months before inauguration, Obama is expected to work unrelentingly towards making a swift and smooth transition into the White House. Obama is expected to announce his transition team as early as the end of the week, according to the NYTimes.

It’s that time of year again… BEYONCE season! That may either really excite you or make you nauscious. Either way, she is one of the most powerful celebrities in the World.
I’m not making this up. Based on both earnings and fame, Forbes.com ranked Beyonce as the fourth most powerful celebrity — after Oprah, Tiger Woods & Angelina Jolie. So make fun of “Sasha,” her alter ego, all you want… but when the numbers are in, Beyonce is clearly coming out on top!
With two platinum albums, a clothing line, L’Oreal, American Express, a couple movies and $50 million in concert sales, Beyonce out-earns and out-fames her hubby, Jay Z, who was ranked #7. That must make for great pillow talk.
Her third solo album, a double disc set, is set to be released November 18th. She even released two singles simultaneously to cross-promote . Let’s see the number’s she is working with after that.

Is anybody listening? Did you watch last night’s coverage of the debates? I really want to know how my generation of thinkers are feeling after the final debate.
*If you missed it, enjoy it in 3 parts from CNN.com (part 1) | (part 2) | (part 3)
In response to Mr. Obama’s statement that Mr. McCain had repeatedly supported Mr. Bush’s economic policies, Mr. McCain fairly leaped out of his chair to say: “Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago.”
Acknowledging Mr. McCain had his differences with Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama replied, “The fact of the matter is that if I occasionally mistake your policies for George Bush’s policies, it’s because on the core economic issues that matter to the American people — on tax policy, on energy policy, on spending priorities — you have been a vigorous supporter of President Bush.”
Ouch! Obama clapped back without missing a beat. While McCain failed every attempt to come across stoic and unfazed. But don’t leave this one up to me … What do you think?

He’s no Bill Gates (#1 on Forbes 400 -net worth $57 billion) or even a Mark Zuckerberg (#321 on Forbes 400 - net worth $1.5 billion), but according to Forbes.com Curtis “50 cent” Jackson is the top earning hip-hop cash king this year - earning $150 million. That’s nearly twice Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s 2008 earnings and at least four times Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West and Timbaland.
Even without producing a hit in years, Andre “Dr. Dre” Young, banked $15 million from decades of royalties. Tupac Shakur has been dead for over 10 years, but according to Forbes.com, also banked a cool $15 million this year.
