Mash-Up

Barack Obama is revelling in presidential power and influence unseen in Washington for decades and is in a row of skirts swinging from side to side as if dancing. Barely 100 days in office there has been no breaking news of a new baby and his Democratic Party have firm control over the White House and Congress. But in Malawi, since Miuccia Prada became the creative director of Prada, there have been a few developments on Marilyn Monroe's famous white dress and the federal government's pumping of billions of dollars every season. With the U.S. economy reeling and millions of Americans without jobs, the government has started donating clothes which are out of season to those who are most in need. President Obama wanted some of these free clothes but the genral public protested "We won’t allow him anywhere near them. He should forget about it."
