Sapphire, the author of the novel "Push" talks about the movie based on the book. The poet talks about her skepticism during the making of "Precious."

This is hysterical. The White House held a fiesta to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. President Obama was so moved by the music during a performance by Latina star Thalia, he jumped up and danced salsa with the singer. When he returned to his wife she sat smiling, clapping, and enjoying the music. Some people say that the media is making something of nothing. I say GO Michelle! She gave President Obama the classiest South Side of Chicago attitude she could muster. I guarantee you, Mr. President is checked and will not try that again. While people debate the body language going on here, Mr. Pres knows what's up - won't be no Clinton scandals on Mrs. Obama's watch. Michelle Obama is one class act.

In a quiet, monotone manner President Obama spoke urged nations to come together and reach an agreement in Copenhagen. He said:

All major economies must put forward actions to stop climate change.
We must have a mechanism to review whether we are living up to our obligations. There is no international agreement if there is no way to monitor.
Must have financing that helps developing countries.
Mitigation, transparency, financing - that's what's important.
Right now will tell whether we prefer posturing to action.

Time for talk is over. Embrace this accord and continue to refine it. Or, fall back into same divisions with same stale arguments while the danger of climate change grows until it is irreversible.
Now is the time for people of the world to come together. Better for us to choose action over inaction.
