The GT by Citroën (sometimes spelled GTbyCitroën) is a sports car that debuted as a concept car on October 2 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The car is a collaboration between the French automaker Citroën and the Japanese racing simulation developer Polyphony Digital. An extremely limited edition, only 6 cars are to be built.
Polyphony Digital’s Citroën GT is set to become one of the most expensive “production cars” (if you can really call it that…) sold today, coming in at £1.1 million pounds or approximately $1.8 million U.S. dollars. AutoCar got the scoop from “senior inside sources”, who revealed that only six of thecars will be made — all of which will be powered by either a “Ford or GM V8?. That’s considerably less than the 20 production models that were hinted at before, but according to AutoCar, “most of the concept’s features should make the final production version, including the carbon-fibre construction and eccentric interior details such as the copper trim.” Sweet! The final production version of the car is expected to be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.
is there any thing wrong with wanting the most expensive car in the world? is there anything wrong with wanting to drive this car in front of every girl that turned you down? is there anything wrong with simply wanting the best for your self ! if this really and truelly is the most expensive car in the world then I think any one who wants the best of the best for them self should have one! at lease thats my opinion so why would they only make six of them??? someone tell me why???

African-American history is the portion of American history that specifically discusses the African American or Black American ethnic group in the United States.
The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by black Americans and other peoples of African descent. Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham LincolnFrederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures. and In the decades the followed, mayors of cities across the country began issuing yearly proclamations recognizing Negro History Week. By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the Civil Rights Movement and a growing awareness of black identity, Negro History Week had evolved into Black History Month on many college campuses. President Gerald R. Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." Since then, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. In 2010, the theme focused on the history of black economic empowerment and recognized the achievements of the painter Jacob Lawrence, the entrepreneur Annie Malone and the National Urban League, a civil rights organizationThis is a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr for fighting for us and having to courage to do so !!!!!!

Editor's Note: This post is a part of the Celebrating Black History Month series, which highlight the work of African Americans who are contributing to the President's goals for winning the future.
As every American knows, who we are is deeply influenced by how we grew up – and the influences that shaped us. I grew up in Spokane, Washington, which is in the eastern part of the state, and had the opportunity to attend what is now known as Central Washington University. My parents were engaged in the community, and in the weight of things, I am James and Lydia Sims’ son through and through. My values, my expressions, and what I care for are all reflective of that. I was one of those lucky children who experienced lots of love, and the benefit of good parenting – and it’s why I feel so strongly about giving future generations of kids the good homes and quality opportunities they need.
And at HUD, I’m in a position to help do that. As Deputy Secretary, I see myself as clearing obstacles out of the way to let our talented staff do their jobs and affect change, particularly in traditionally underserved communities. Through the Federal Housing Administration, for example, we help responsible first-time homebuyers get access to a mortgage. For families who can’t afford a loan, HUD’s multifamily, tenant-based programs help them rent affordable housing. Our homelessness programs provide shelter and supportive services to those who don’t otherwise have a roof over their heads. A big part of our mission is helping what the Baptist tradition calls “the least, the last, and the lost.”
Our employees embody that determination to make a difference. And under the leadership President Obama and Secretary Donovan, our mission has expanded still further. We’re no longer just a housing agency – we’re engaged in comprehensive community development to help rebuild so many areas harmed by the economic crisis.

Will President Obama Bring About UFO Disclosure in 2011?
For the last two years there has been a strong feeling by many in the UFO fraternity that one of the big guns in the American Administration will drop the UFO bombshell - UFO disclosure!
That job it seems has fallen into the hands of U.S. President Barack Obama, according to many UFO
enthusiasts.
Recent UFO sightings such as the Temple Dome event in Jerusalem, Israel have given more impetus on UFO disclosure, with many people questioning why will the President not tell the world what it wants to know - Are we being visited by Aliens from another planet?
The simple fact of the matter is that the responsibility of UFO disclosure does not fall directly into the hands of any one President. If a President was too straight out with "there are Aliens and they are visiting us," without consultation from top military chiefs, there could be a lot of trouble internally.
It would of course fall on someone like the U.S. President to calmly reassure the public that we are being visited by a friendly Race from another planet. But what if those Aliens did not have a friendly intention?
Would it then be in the best interests of the public to disclose UFO's or E.T. (Extra Terrestrials) if the Aliens were bad guys?
Many believe that there is a lot of chatter going on between multiple governments with regard to the UFO phenomenon, and that disclosure will come soon regardless of the Alien Agenda. To be honest it would probably be in the interest for the public to know either way that way people could prepare for whatever eventuality.
The general belief although President Barack Obama would call time on UFO's visiting the Earth and disclose information, is purely speculation if not just a Myth. It would be up to a collective of very powerful individuals in the military, scientists and world leader in a G20 type summit.
