Presidential Watch Sunday: President Obama Addresses The Muslim World...




Presidential Watch Sunday
An Unprecedented Look At The Presidency

All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart or whether we commit ourselves to an effort, a sustained effort to find common ground. To focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings. –President Obama (Cairo Egypt, June 4, 2009).

Welcome to the fourth installment of Presidential Watch Sunday. I would like to thank the White House and Chuck Kennedy (An Official White House Photographer) for giving us unprecedented access to photos of the United States Presidency and I would like to thank MSNBC for sharing the video of President Obama's unprecedented speech.

On June 4, 2009, President Obama gave an amazing speech at Cairo University in Egypt on the subject of the relationship between the Muslim world and the United States. In the photo below, we see President Obama as he enters the auditorium to deliver his speech.





U.S. President Obama spoke at Cairo University in Egypt on Thursday, June 4, 2009. In this speech, President Obama called for "A new beginning between the United States and Muslims', declaring that 'this cycle of suspicion and discord must end."

I Spy Saturday Season 1 [Episode 9 : No Exchange On Damaged Merchandise]


I Spy Saturday
Season 1 [Episode 9 : No Exchange On Damaged Merchandise]
Original Air Date: November 10, 1965

I skipped over episode 8 by mistake so I will check it out next week. In this episode we start to see a little more character development. Especially with Bill Cosby.


The bantering back and forth between Culp and Cosby is funny at times and for the first time we see Cosby really coming into his own as Cosby.


You can watch the episode of I Spy below, and you can watch it full-screen by clicking the button in the upper right hand corner.

Sea Dweller's wearing Sea Dwellers...


Sea Dweller's wearing Sea Dwellers

Jean-Michel (from France) and his diving pal, Olivier are both wearing Rolex Sea-Dweller models in the two photos below. Who says Rolex watches are not still used as tool watches!?!


Jean-Michel is an geophysics engineer and he began his diving career when he was only 8 years old. Jean-Michel started collecting watches when he was 20 years old (He is 43 today) and he is extremely passionate about not only watches, but the history behind them.

Jean-Michel has an AMAZING diving website he maintains that has incredible diving photography as well as diving history and photos and information on his huge diving watch collection. Jean-Michel's site is in French, but if you don't speak French, I highly recommend just clicking around. You can see his site by clicking here.

Jean-Michel also maintains his own French diving forum that you can see by clicking here, as well as the Superb Omega-Speedmaster Mission website which you visit by clicking here, and the excellent Breitling Navitimer site which you can visit by clicking here.
