Fact: At least one in four Americans has a tattoo.

Should we be surprised that a few of them are of President Obama? We heard business is booming in the George W. Bush tattoo removal business.

UPDATE! Oprah's Free Chicken Offer Sparks Sit-Ins, Long Lines ...

Oprah's been Twittering like nobody's business! She's not giving out new cars or her book club pick this time.

She's working for the Colonel.

For two days only, KFC is handing out free Oprah-backed grilled chicken coupons. It's the company's new recipe and part of its new image. ...

President Barack Obama marked his 100th day in office with a primetime televised press conference. Covering a wide gamut of issues, from swine flu to waterboarding to the auto bailout, it wasn't until close to the end of the nearly hour-long press conference that he fielded a question relating specifically to the black community.

"As the entire nation tries to climb out of this deep recession, in communities of color, the circumstances are far worse," said Andre Showell of BET. "The black unemployment rate, as you know, is in the double digits. And in New York City, for example, the black unemployment rate for men is near 50 percent. My question to you tonight is: given this unique and desperate circumstance, what specific policies can you point to that will target these communities and what's the timetable for us to see tangible results?"

In a very carefully worded answer the president explained that his administration's plans for Americans who are down on their luck -- such as extending unemployment insurance and health care coverage for those who have lost their jobs -- will help all such people. He added that blacks and Latinos tend to be "overrepresented" among the unemployed, and so these measures benefit us.

Last week the Black Voices crew hit the streets of New York with our cameras and a mission: Find the voice of the people.

Once we found 'em, we asked, "What do you think of President Obama's first 100 days?"

We met with people from all over the U.S. and the world, and here's what they had to say. Flip through our interviews and upload your own video here!

President Obama's 100-day address will be on practically every network Wednesday night except Fox. To clarify, that's the American Idol Fox channel, not the Bill O' Reilly Fox News station.

It's not that the right-wing conservative network doesn't like Obama; it hates him actually. But industry folks say the Obama telecast costs networks a bunch of cash.

I'll buy that. The 'American Idol' results come on after the presidential address. Fox will tell viewers to watch the address on the Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network during the new series 'Lie to Me.' Thanks but no thanks. I'll catch it on YouTube.

Some in the BV Community refuse to be out-Foxed by the "excuse" and call it "very, very, very disrespectful," while others say, "just watch the damn thing on another channel."

Move over Barack, Michelle Obama's comic book, 'Female Force: Michelle Obama,' will hit the stands April 29 as part of a lady heroine series.

Not a comic fan? That's okay. Me either.

The latest installment in the 'Female Force' series offers a visual biography of First Lady Michelle Obama as she secures her place in American history, according to the comic maker.

President Obama has had his five minutes of comic book fame, appearing alongside Spiderman and once again in the forthcoming 'Obama the Barbarian Battles Sarah Palin.' You read that right.

If Amazon pre-orders are any indicator, people want to get their hands on Michelle's comic. The unreleased graphic bio is in the top 300.

It seems like only old people, foreigners and rich folks from Montana win the lottery, but, finally, a truly deserving unemployed mother (from Indiana) hit the jackpot.

Watch her story below and join the discussion in BV Community. Congrats, Ms. Britman! Save and invest wisely.

A controversial handshake was not the only thing exchanged over the weekend between President Barack Obama and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

The socialist leader gave Obama a copy of "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent." The gift included the note "For Obama, with warm regards."

Now the book is becoming a hit in the U.S. and has been blasted to No. 2 on Amazon. Its previous rank was 54,295.

According to The AP, the 1971 book documents how European and American commercial interests have dominated and afflicted Latin America since the Spanish conquest, and it's a favorite among left-leaning Latin Americans from Argentina to Mexico. ...

A speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been uncovered 45 years after it was recorded at the University of Dayton in Ohio.

This month marks the 41st anniversary of the civil rights leader's assassination.

The lost November 1964 speech is broken out by segments below. Although the recording is at times distorted, you can still hear King's voice echo in the university hall. Of course, you'll hear his trademark soaring oratory, but in Segment 2 you'll even hear him crack a joke about being late.

Read the story of how the recording was lost, and then found, here.
