Thank you sooooooooo much again to everyone who donated to Obama/Biden 2012 through The Obama Diary page on OFA – we reached our $1,000 target last night, just a couple of days after setting the page up, which was completely brilliant 
Some of you very kindly got in touch today to ask me to up the limit from $1,000 so that they could donate too, so I’ve done that – thank you again.
I’m going to spare you all these reminders about the fundraiser, I’ve just put a link to the OFA page in the sidebar on the right, so if you ever have a spare $10 or so and feel like donating that would be great.
The legend that is Meta also has a fundraising page at OFA – here – which is heading towards $5,000. You’re a star, Meta.

Thanks so much for upping your fundraising goal, dear Chips, and thanks, too, for mentioning my link. LOVE this place and the fun and caring community you’ve nurtured. We have a phenomenal man in the White House. I feel so blessed to be able to witness this time in history. Sweet dreams to all!
Goodnight Chipsticks and thanks a lot for today!!!!.. Whew President Obama sure is a busy man. He’s like the energizer bunny…. always going.. going.. going. Love him and wish him continued strength. Have a goodnight TOD family.
Thanks Chipsticks and Meta for the fundraising! Someone please enlighten me; where does PBO get the extra hours in his days? It doesn’t seem humanly possible to get so much done every day, day after day. He is a wondrous marvel. And, he does it all so well. How lucky are we.
I wish I had half the energy our President does. What a wonderful man he is. We are definitely blessed to have him.
Good night Chipsticks and TOD family. I’m looking forward to POTUS and Harry in the morning on CBS. Oh and Erica too.
It’s been a very long day. It was great to start it here now I will end it. I can’t wait to go back and read all the entries. Glad you are extending the donation page. I want to add to it when I can. Thanks for all the great pictures and infor here.
Have a good night.
Hey, what’s with this ‘good night’ ‘good night’ already? It’s only 10pm! I’m not sleepy yet! It’s not fair! …. Oh! Chipsticks had a busy day? You have to be up early for work and /or michelling? Oh. Okay. Sorry. I’ll be quiet and go read a little, after all I haven’t been reading much since my blog addiction got out of control.
*sheepishly* Sorry to be selfish. Good night, everyone, sleep tight and rest well! See you on the morrow!
3AM? Are you searching for your birth certificate in Hawaii too??????
I’m guessing Ireland……
Oh ho!
Who would like to drag my “foots” out of my mouth – both of them? My humbler than humblest apologies, Ms Chips. I can’t take it back of course, but you can blame it on ignorance and narrow-mindedness. I narrow-mindedly assumed* that you were in the U S of A, even though you have mentioned Ireland from time to time. I just assumed* that you were now living in the States. I’m even more (and I was already maxed out) impressed with your commitment to our community!
* Can’t remember who in my life used to say “Never assume. It makes an ass of ‘u’ and ‘me’ ”
Case in point
Thank you again for your dedication to this effort! {{Chipsticks}}
This has been a wonderful day for America. We are truly blessed to have so many who love this country. Sometimes when you listen to the media you wonder if any one loves this country until you come here and you can see how many are proud of what we have starting with our President and the first family. Love you all and good night.
Goodnight Dear Chipsticks,My son-in-law (Rich) tells me he wrote to you today, and was pleased you answered him.
He and our daughter (his wife) are really long standing Democratic supporters of our wonderful president..
We were celebrating his 60 % popularity standings- I hope he is going higher and holding!! Dottie
That is a young staff! The future….not the past!
The Brazil video is stupendous!! The music is perfect. Thank you so much.
Good night chips. I love the last picture and I am happy the donation link will be up all the time.
ALL THOSE PICS. ARE PRICELESS…OF COURSE WE HAVE AN EQUALLY ‘PRICELESS’ FIRST COUPLE!
