What does superstar Shakira have in common with Barack and Joe? The singing sensation visited the White House early this morning to speak with POTUS and his vice president about the need for increased education efforts in the developing world. Shakira is no stranger to this White House; the Colombian singer endorsed Obama during the election and performed at his Inauguration. She also met with World Bank President Robert Zoellick today to launch the "Early Childhood Initiative: An Investment for Life,” which will put $300 million towards helping to create Early Childhood Development programs in Latin America and the Caribbean.
