Looking tiny-waisted as usual in a printed jacket and yellow tank top, Dolly Parton spoke at a luncheon at the National Press Club in Washington DC on Tuesday afternoon (February 10).

Ms Parton told the National Press Club, “Somebody said to me, ‘Well, you know what-you’ve got such a big mouth and you know how to talk to people, did you ever think about running for president?’. I said, ‘I think we’ve had enough boobs in the White House, but hopefully [President] Obama ain’t gonna be one of them.’”

Barack Obama: The Inauguration

At 12:05pm EST today (January 20th) Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, an event of massive historical significance.
