When Obama Met Congress

President Barack Obama addressed Congress for the first time last night, and pledged that the United States “will rebuild, we will recover.”

I presume Obama was referring to the economy. I didn’t watch the entire speech, just toward the end.

The president also stated that his budget priorities are energy, health care and education.

Now, I know it’s early, but watch the speech if you haven’t– and have a shot every single time Obama’s audience stands up to give him a round of applause (I dare ya):

What a Girl Wants Is Your Vote

Christina Aguilera has enlisted the help of her 5-month-old son Max to urge Americans to vote in November.

The “Beautiful” singer discussed her upcoming Rock the Vote PSA, last night on CNN’s Larry King Live.

“It was really important for me to get involved and get excited about this election in particular, being such one of change and new development for our country and for the future of my son, she said.”

Aguilera’s PSA, a takeoff on a 1992 Rock the Vote commercial with Madonna, features her holding Max wrapped in the American flag – which had some in a bit of a huff – and singing “America the Beautiful.”
