Obama's picture with a student goes viral and very popular: Madalyn Starkey of Colorado University, uploaded the pic to her twitter, and it took off from there! Madalyn teased one of her twitter followers by saying "bet you wish you had taken me to prom now, huh?". More on this story via Yahoo!News. On a more serious but heroic note; Ted Leonsis (Washington Capitals Owner) took to his blog to defend his starting Right Winger Joel Ward against racist tweets by angry Bruins fans saying : "Shame on these folks who decided to take to their keyboards and show their ignorance and their racism and hate.
What these people have said and done is unforgivable. I hope they are now publicly identified and pay a huge price for their beliefs. There should be zero tolerance for this kind of hate mongering. Their messages should now stay glued into the algorithms to place a forever warning and a mark upon these people and their actions. They shouldn’t be able to escape their keystrokes.
We will as an organization support Joel Ward. He has been a great teammate and a great citizen. He is now the star of stars in our city for his heroics last night. He is a friend and a fantastic player – who delivered – as advertised for us and our fans in the playoffs."
