This week was definitely one that will go down in history. I think it’s safe to say that President Obama will remember this one forever!
Sure he might have botched the oath a smidge, but with a speech like that, who cares? With all the inaugural balls he had to juggle, his Tuesday night definitely topped mine. I must say, both the President and the First Lady looked stunning! This may be the hottest Commander-in-Chief since JFK! There’s a lot riding on Mr. President this term.
There are plenty of things we’d like to see change and it looks like this administration might make it happen.
Other than that, the week was pretty standard. Gossip Girl and The City made their weekly appearances in our living rooms, and I had a quick chat with Brody Jenner. You know, the usual. Maybe I can lure him to be Valentine this year. Ah, wishful thinking. Chances are I’ll spend V-day alone rocking out to jams that I will never admit to listening to. Such is life…

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. As Inauguration Week draws to a close, all we can think about is the newest effable White House employee, Rahm Emanuel.]
I’ve had the pleasure to write a handful of College Candy’s Guys We Wanna Eff, and as a red-blooded twentysomething female it’s certainly not a difficult task to write about the hottest male stars. But I have to preface the ode to this week’s man of honor by saying I would trade in a year’s worth of paychecks and possibly Spring Break for one night with Rahm Emanuel. He takes the number-one spot on my Eff List. That’s right, I said it!
While Joe Biden (who, may I say, looks A-OK for a man of 66) is technically second-in-command behind President Obama, Rahm Emanuel occupies what many call “the second most powerful job in Washington” as the White House Chief of Staff. The position labels him as the highest-ranking officer of the Executive Branch (after the President), as well as Obama’s senior advisor. Before joining the new administration, Emanuel was a Congressman representing Chicago in the House of Representatives. Now, what woman doesn’t want to eff a man in power? Read More »

As pictures of Barack Obama flood the front pages, we can’t help but admire the hotness that is our new president. We wouldn’t mind having foreign relations with him, if you know what we’re sayin’…
There’s just something about a man in power that we can’t get enough of. Give a guy a nice suit, some secret service and an oversized desk and we are weak in the knees.
And President Obama isn’t the only hottie in a leadership role.
In honor of the forty-fourth president, we have scoured the globe to bring you the hottest world leaders. Whether at the podium or at the beach, these men bring out our inner Marilyn Monroe. Click on the pictures to learn more about these powerful studs. Read More »

President Obama re-took his Presidential Oath of Office in the White House yesterday, after questions arose concerning the validity of his presidency when the U.S. Chief Justice accidentally mixed up the words when administering the oath during Tuesday’s ceremony. This got me thinking about some things I’ve screwed up and wish I could do over again, too.
1. My fashion & beauty choices of the 90′s - Shoulder pads? Leggings tucked into scrunched-up socks? Platform sneakers? I don’t know about you guys, but whenever I look at pictures from my childhood I can’t help but cringe at what I’m wearing and wonder how my parents let me walk out of the house looking that ridiculous. If could only go back now and tell my 11-year-old self to just put down the printed bike shorts…
2. Trying to wax my own legs – My girlfriends and I were so excited to try out the at-home waxing kit we bought at the drugstore, but it didn’t work out how we’d planned. Oh how we wish we could take back that trip to CVS and the large welts on our legs from the too-hot wax. Read More »

Shortly after taking the oath of office at his inauguration today, Barack Obama delivered his highly anticipated inauguration address. In the speech, Obama pointed out the problems with our country that he now must face as President, focusing mostly on the “badly weakened” economy. President Obama told the people of America:
“Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America – they will be met.”
As usual, Obama was inspiring and eloquent. I thought the speech really set the mood for the next 4 years to come, and the mood of “change” was definitely in the air. I’m excited to watch Obama fulfill his goals and bring about the change everyone is hoping for.
What about you? What did you think of Obama’s speech?

There are only two things I didn’t do enough in 2008: read about Barack Obama, and drink. And, like any two problems, it turns out you can fix those with a simple drinking game. But I don’t this to be some namby-pamby Johnny-come-lately one-night drinking game. For better or worse, I want this drinking game to last as long as Barack Obama is the president. For the next four years, I want Obama streamed directly into my life. And I want to be really, really drunk.And unless our national situation shapes up soon, you probably will, too. So:

Today, over two million people are crowded into the national mall in Washington, D.C. to witness the inauguration of our 44th president, and still millions more are watching from home. All of America will be listening as he addresses the nation, hoping to hear what sort of ideas he has for our future.
While most people are hoping to hear how he will fix our economy, healthcare system, or education, I’m hoping that he’ll address some other issues that haven’t been covered by the media.
1. Making early Monday morning classes and Friday afternoon classes optional - Because the last thing anyone wants to do after a long and exciting (yet exhausting) weekend is drag themselves out of bed and into class, only to fall asleep again. And not having to go to those late afternoon classes on Friday would allow us to get the weekend started a few hours earlier. ThanksSoMuch!
2. Banning women over the age of 50 from wearing velour sweatsuits- Seriously, though. Wrinkles and hot-pink Juicy Couture just don’t mix. Especially when paired with Ugg boots or Crocs.
3. Vowing to do all press conferences and State of the Union addresses shirtless – That’d definitely help keep our attention during the boring bits.
4. Making it illegal for guys to sing Beyonce or Pussycat Dolls in bars - Because that overly enthusiastic, drunken rendition of “Single Ladies” is wrong and should be punishable by steep fines and extended stays in the clink.
5. Re-allocating funds in the budget to address the real issues in this country: the lack of low fat fried snacks – A fat free fried Oreo? A fat free waffle fry? That would get us back on top of the world.
