If the guest was an Ethiopian leader like the video below when President Kennedy hosted a State Dinner for Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, then it would make sense.

I am really proud of you that you prepared the state Dinner for the White House.

You should have added some kind of our best traditional food like (Doro…. & Shiro).

Keep it up

I am very proud of this magazine for promoting young men and women. The main issue is
not the talents it is the exposure. I know there are great people from Africa who deserve media exposure, but they had never got chances to get onto public media. Keep doing it and you have been doning a teremondous job.

I am unquesionably admire the gentlman who is going to cook for the first family.

Love what Obama is accomplishing for the world.

We love you and respect you. I hope your presence may prompt President Obama to talk about the ongoing repression in Ethiopia. Hope you might be Ethiopia’s Nehemiah or Aster.

May God Bless you and your family.

It is true when they say, “Good news is uplifting and bad news is depressing.” Congratulations Marcus. I am very proud of you. You are a citizen of the world and an ambassador for Ethiopia (where you were born), Sweden (where you grew up), and America (your new home and love). You are an Ambassador for all three peoples. So be sure to do a good job at the dinner!

I have one questions out of curiosity, if any of you know the answer? How does the U.S. decide who gets a State Dinner? I remember George Bush gave his first State Dinners to the President of Mexico. And now Obama is giving it to the Prime Minister of India. One of the most memorable State dinners given by President Kennedy was for Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia? Just wondering how it is decided?

Congratulations again Marcus!!!

I love the way how Michelle & Barack Obama are so cool. They are promoting, highlighting and educating the rest of the world about the diversity, talent and beauty of the American people from all corners of the world! What a difference a year makes, what a change, and what a time! Congrats again! This is big.
