First lady Michelle Obama reaches for a hand as she arrives for physical activity with kids at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Florida, Feb. 11
AP: Add another dance move to Michelle Obama’s repertoire. This one has to do with a certain celebrity platypus. The first lady gave “the platypus walk” a try on Saturday during a visit to Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
The dance was inspired by Disney’s “Phineas and Ferb” show, whose characters include Perry the Platypus. It required some flapping of flippers, or arms if you’re human, shuffling left and right and yanking limbs up and down, all to a pulsing rock beat.
Mrs. Obama did the dance at an event marking the second anniversary of her “Let’s Move” campaign against childhood obesity.

“You betcha!”
This deserves a caption. What do you think he’s telling her?
“Did you hear the one about Rick Santorum?”
I’m sure it is the kind of teasing, outrageous things that boys/men always whisper to girls/women to get a reaction. She told Gayle King “that is typical Barack, always saying something he shouldn’t.”
There’s my picture, I love it. I love POTUS and FLOTUS.
I think he said something nasty. lol that’s how I took it when Miche was interviewed by Gayle King.
I love it.
I THINK SO TOO…LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! THAT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICS OF OUR ‘O’ DUO!!!!!..:)
HE WAS DEFINENTLY BEING NAUGHTY…CUTE!!!!
Naughty mat for Prez!
Completely concur Collegekay. It’s definitely a naughty mat moment. ;)
He definitely said something that shouldn’t be said outside of the bedroom. Miche looks scandalized! :mrgreen: hehehehhehehhehehe!! Good for them! It’s great that after 20 years there’s still some fire in the belly and some fire in the bed. :D
I think we need Wanda Sykes to tell us what POTUS was whispering in FLOTUS ear.
So true Anniebella, so true. Lol! :-D
When POTUS and FLOTUS is together like that, you can bet they don’t give that bigot Santorum a thought.
I think he is singing…..”I….sooooooooooo in looooooove with you…..”
More like, “I, so wanna do you.” {Oh god, I am so bad, I am going to hell. Not Even gonna die, just going straight to hell} :-D

In 400+ Days The GOP Has Created 0 And Tried To Kill 7.4 Million Jobs
=============
In the over 400 days since Republicans took control of the House, the GOP hasn’t passed a single job creation bill, but has passed bills that would kill 7.4 million jobs.
House Democrats has proposed 31 different bills to create jobs since Republicans have taken over, and all of them have been defeated.
Here is a partial list of some of the job creation bills that the GOP has said no to (via: Democratic Leader Pelosi):

Thanks Ladyhawke, I’ve passed this vital information along!
Riding a wave of momentum from his trio of victories on Tuesday Rick Santorum has opened up a wide lead in PPP’s newest national poll. He’s at 38% to 23% for Mitt Romney, 17% for Newt Gingrich, and 13% for Ron Paul.
Part of the reason for Santorum’s surge is his own high level of popularity. 64% of voters see him favorably to only 22% with a negative one. But the other, and maybe more important, reason is that Republicans are significantly souring on both Romney and Gingrich. Romney’s favorability is barely above water at 44/43, representing a 23 point net decline from our December national poll when he was +24 (55/31). Gingrich has fallen even further. A 44% plurality of GOP voters now hold a negative opinion of him to only 42% with a positive one. That’s a 34 point drop from 2 months ago when he was at +32 (60/28).

Android’s OS is so bloody strong, the battery life is siccccccccccccccccccccccck!, the amount of apps it can hold without draining your phone’s capabilities are awesome, you can do multiple things at once without having to click back and forth. I could go on and on and on and on.

Speaker John Boehner said: “We’re going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs.”
REPUBLICAN JOB CREATION
(Updated to include 2012)
====================
Shortly after the GOP regained the House of Representatives in 2010 the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, made the welcome claim that the primary goal of the Republican Party was to increase employment in the U.S.
His exact words were: “We’re going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs.”
The following, therefore, is a chronological list of employment-related legislation by the GOP beginning 2-10-2011. I’m sorry to report that none, so far, have resulted in a single new job being created in America.
===================
http://www.republicanjobcreation.com/
Hey, there, mr. boner, define ” relentless” …….
He means “relentless” just like Romney means he’s “severely conservative.”

He was telling the truth (sorta) ;)

Hay everybody John Boehner is a liar, the worse Speaker ever, plus he has no backbone, he is afraid of Eric Cantor and the T-Party.
The GOP relentless focus on tax cuts for the wealthy.
Love this photo! One of my favourites
LOL! In the second pic the person with the green shirt (and glasses) is beside him or herself with excitement/joy/delight/euphoria! :) And the others are excited as well.
I guess that’s Tweety’s evidence that our President and First Lady don’t “connect” with folks.
That is just one of the reasons why I love President Obama. It’s that sense of calmness he always brings, no matter what the situation, no matter how loud the faux outrage. President Obama has the exact right temperament to be POTUS. It is one of his special gifts. And I like the glass half full attitude too. I try to have that outlook also and gravitate toward others who have that same positive view of the world—- as do most people.
And shhhhh—-don’t tell the Repugs, but people are not attracted to all that hate and anger and doom and gloom—-does not win elections. People want to feel hopeful and good about the country, about the possibilities and the future—-and want to feel that someone with a calm demeanor and a clear-thinking mind is at the helm.

I guess the CPAKKK folks decided to give Romney a boost by making him the straw poll winner. I guess they felt he needed to be rescued after the humiliating defeat earlier this week.
Hahahahaha. He’s the straw poll winner of a group of racists, bigoted, homophobic, band of whack jobs. Keep f*cking that chicken Willard.
Did I hear Mitt say yesterday that he want to have anyone receiving Social Security to be drug tested?
I see Romney won with 38%…Santorium up the rear with 31%. Yes, I meant to say that :)

Hilarious, Ellen! So funny…..
FLOTUS won Ellen, get over it. You’ve like the Patriots looking over films trying to show how the Giants cheated. The Giants won and so did FLOTUS. I know Ellen is kidding, she is so funny.
That should have been ” you’re”.
I’m not going to post anything until Michelle Obama stop being so awesome. Enough is enough!
Oh dear, BWD, please have a change of heart for our sakes, it could be a v.e.r.y l.o.o..o.n.n.ng.g.g time before FLOTUS stops being so awesome, maybe even NEVER. We shall not thrive well without your posts, just sayin’! ;)
Yes, BWD, we are looking forward to your resuming your daily “mishmashes” - hopefully in the not too distant future. Between TOAITR and TOD, what more would I need?
BWD, please do not tease us like this. You are teasing, right? Keep well and relax today. Thinking good thoughts HZ
HZ, I think she is teasing us, it’s that photo of POTUS teasing FLOTUS at the top that has her feeling mischievous, and THAT is a good sign she is on the mend! I hope you, too, HZ, are feeling well today, and this is a good day for BWD to choose to tease! :)

My kids watch Phineas and Ferb sometimes. This is from that show. It’s a recurring thing. Cracks me up!
Hey LWR. I’m in college and my friends and I ADORE the show. It’s funny, it’s creative, and it celebrates science, art, and imagination. Plus it’s got wicked cool song and dance numbers.
I’m 37 and would be watching even if I didn’t have kids. My wife and I LOVE cartoons. We show our children classics (Tex Avery and Rocky and Bullwinkle) on DVD and watch newer ones on tv with them. There was a period there when I was a kid that had me a little worried about the future of cartoons, but they’ve gotten much better since. Just about everything Genndy Tartakovsky does is excellent and hilarious.

I read some comment after the article were some idiot talking about Ann Romney would make a better First Lady. Only in that idiot’s dream. Ann Romney better than FLOTUS, no way! And I do mean no way. Hell No Way!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering how long it would take the rwnj’s to get to the best 1st Lady meme. It’s a good thing that isn’t an elective office. If it was, all of those nj’s would have shiny new wives. ;-D
Dont’ know where she finds the energy, but she is so positive and such a great role model for these kids!!
A great role model for us all.

Dear Morning Joe, Yuck Fou
Poll: Catholics Approve Of Obama’s New Contraception Rule
A new poll conducted Friday night by Public Policy Polling (D) shows Catholics support President Obama’s rule change to the contraception coverage requirement at religious organizations. The poll of 466 Catholic voters showed that 57% of Catholics support the new policy, which allows women who work at religiously-affiliated organizations like hospitals to get contraception cost-free as required under the Affordable Care Act through their insurer. 29% opposed the new policy for not going far enough while 5% opposed it because they think the original rule was fair. Catholic women support the compromise more than men. Respondents preferred Obama’s position over Romney’s opposition to any birth control coverage requirement 51% to 38% and Hispanic Catholics preferred Obama’s 59% to 32%.
The survey was done on behalf of the Coalition to Protect Women’s Health Care, a coalition of 28 women’s health advocacy groups who came together Friday to work to protect access to birth control in the wake of the administration’s rule change. The survey’s margin of error is +/-4.5%.
MEEP. MOTHERFLIPPING MEEP.
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/poll-catholics-approve-of-obamas-new-contraception-rule
Thanks, this is reassuring news. The only health insurance coverage for women that the Bishops will ever approve is for chastity belts.
That is good….but I am surprised the number are not higher.
what bothers me most about the whole contraception issue with the Catholic Church is why did the lay women who use or have used contraceptives did not speak out…this silence of the parishoners has always disturbed me…esp on issues that they need to speak on…
Guilt. The CC indoctrination towards suppression of human nature by guilt is deep and subconscious. For crying out loud, unless they have changed it all since 1968 (when I left them) a beautiful innocent child is a sinner before it has been born! Go figure..
Funny how the men disapprove of the compromise more than women. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Ye of the penis and NO uterus should STFU when it comes to discussions and decisions about a woman’s body. You don’t suffer from cramps, you don’t suffer from ovarian cysts, you don’t suffer from endometriosis, you don’t suffer from ovarian cancer, you don’t suffer labor pains, then for the love of sanity ——————————> STFU.
Thank you ut. We of the uterus don’t go on Cable TV yapping about whether or not erectile pumps (AKA penis enlargers), or Viagra, or such are covered by insurance!
Maybe that is what we should be doing, just to blow their feeble little minds….
Let the church say Amen. :)
Aaaaa…Mmmmmmen.
tweeted - thx chips!!!
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) gave a passionate speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday, rallying against recall election efforts that he said could do lasting damage.
“Lord help us if we fail,” Walker said. “I’m not planning on it, but if we were to fail, I think this sets aside any courageous act in American politics for at least a decade if not a generation.”
“This recall isn’t about me and it isn’t just about who will be the Governor of Wisconsin,” Walker continued. “It is about all of us and whether or not we can make bold decisions for the future.”
Walker said the “swift action” he took to help the state’s economy — which included a controversial budget proposal that stripped public workers of their collective bargaining rights and caused union uproar — was necessary to “fix” the fiscal crisis and show “Wisconsin is open for business.”
“Collective bargaining is not a right,” Walker said. “In the public sector, it is an expensive entitlement.”
Walker criticized protesters who have disrupted government events and those who “bust in” outside his home. Protesters have rallied at the state capital since February 2011 in protest of Walker and his budget legislation.
Actually, Scotty-boy, is IS about you, you dumb f-er.
Ok I started to watch Palin’s speech to see if she was endorsing today………for me it was like watching one of their debate.
Palin: Winning the Future, yea I know, WTF
Palin: And I’m the idiot?
*click*
It’s all I could take…….she’s vile!
Didn’t they drop ” Winning the Future” ? I have not seen that promoted since it started getting mocked by Paymelin. Yes you are correct….she is vile.
I read on an Alaska site that she dragged Barstool Bristol to DC to try an sell her books.. The first 100 are being given away free.
I recall hearing Newt trying to use that slogan.
So I heard they dug that Palin thing back up. It’s funny how the media doesn’t say one word about that white supremacist speaking at C-Pac, if a black panther was speaking at a Dem event, that is all they would talk about, every second, every minute, every hour.
Robney won the straw poll!
I thought it would be Ron Paul as usual….it’s usually packed with his followers……where was he anyway?
Ron Paul did not attend CPAC….
That’s strange isn’t it?….I noticed that he doesn’t go after Romney……so I guess it was to help him….
He felt going to Maine was a better choice….Maybe he is tired of the freak show ?
Actually I think Christi’s hypothesis might be correct. Ron Paul stayed away so that Romney could cash in. The establishment probably decided that Romney desperately needed a boost after what happened this past Tuesday, and his confidence was probably shaky as hell. They did him a huge favor, because despite the “Santorum surge,” Santorum still does not poll as well against PBO as does Romney. They are going to make sure that Romney wins the nomination. He’s the best they’ve got - which isn’t saying a whole lot, but that’s the way it is.
And I might add that Paul might be in Maine telling folks to vote for Romney, for all you know.
I read somewhere, maybe TPM, that CPAC made some kind of adjumstments this year so that the Paulites couldn’t dominate the straw ballot voting. Sorry for the lack of specifics but I remember reading this fairly recently.
Jovie, he bussed kids in from the colleges on the east coast.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/11/us/politics/romneys-record-as-governor-resumes-central-role-in-nomination-fight.html
But here is Halperin’s take:
Whether Romney did this through organization or not, it is a great day for him. A loss to Santorum would have been more than a nick. That sound you hear is Boston exhaling. Of course, if someone had said a month ago that Santorum would finish this close to first, the reaction would have been much different.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Halperin is getting desperate. Those checks from Boston must be flowing in pretty nicely. Santorum had no organization, no nothing. And while he won the CPAC poll 38-31, it was 2 pts that separated Santorum and Romney in the CPAC national poll. I mean, he is batting Ron Paul in Maine? WTF? Mittens is a wounded animal.
That sound you hear is *Halperin* exhaling, he’s so transparently worried about a Republican defeat.
lol he sure is….it’s pathetic,
He’s gone from telling us how formidable Perry would have been to Bachmann and Cain. We ought to do a video of the Chronicles of Halperin’s hapless predictions.
Ask and ye shall receive…One of his greatest hits.
he’s such a dumbass
Halperin is a ‘dick’ and should have been retired to the Buchanan dumpster.
Clueless!
DONT FORGET HUNTSMAN.
I am surprised Hackperin didn’t say it is a good day for “McCain”
Halprin has a major crush on Romney. I think he dreams off being his press secretary in a fictional administration.
Let Mitt enjoy, he won win in November.
So palin says that this President is corrupt because of what she calls, crony-capitalism.
Oh really? The Republucans ate masters at protecting tge rich oil companies, big coal and the Banks.
She has quite the nerve!
No one listens to her anymore…….she has not had a paying gig in months…..
Sure she has. She’s a ‘hooker’ for faux news.
Will you have my baby? Just joking but you made me choke on my tequila shot. What a great one liner and you didn’t use the B or W word!
Shucks you making me blush.
$arah Palin has exceeded her expiration date after she pimped her followers for as much money as she could get then busted their bubble by not running in 2012, her followers won’t trust her again by giving her money only to left holding the bag.
Who cares about what she thinks or says??
Never forgive John McCain for Sarah Palin. Then again maybe I should say thanks to the old senile fool, because I’m sure people realize McCain couldn’t even choose a qualified VP candidate, he sure isn’t qualified to be President. So thanks Johnny boy for Sarah palin. You keep Palin, we’ll keep President Obama.
I haven’t forgiven him either and “senile old fool” is a very precise description of him.
Ho, hum, so yesterday’s old old news….
Can someone point me to the video that was here a few days ago that began with the President from back in 2002 and came all the way up to now ?
Is this what you were talking about?
Not that one ….but thank you .
This one Linda??
I love this one….thanks…..but I thought there was one that went back to 2002 …. Maybe it was in comments…….
I usually save them all….:-(
I will search the older threads…Thanks for trying.:-)
LLinda, is this the one you’re talking about? “Obama and the guy with the purple shirt”
Here is the updated version: “Obama, the Guy with the Purple Shirt, and a Promise Kept ”
Yes….thank you so much…..that is it…….
Yippee !!!!!!!!
Ah that’s special. I had not seen the Guy in the Purple Shirt video. That was awesome.
Sarah Palin is severely stupid.
It’s the reason why they go crazy for Palin, she represent them very well.
100% concur.
I refudiate that comment.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/rachel-maddow-the-gop-war-on-birth-control/2012/02/10/gIQAbZ734Q_story.html
By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 2/10/12 5:04 PM EST
Bill Burton, senior strategist with Priorities USA Action - the super PAC backing President Obama - is slamming Mitt Romney for his line at CPAC in which he declared that he fought to keep Massachusetts from becoming “the Las Vegas of gay marriage.”
“Mitt Romney’s rehearsed statement comes from a hateful politics of the past that aims to arouse to the prejudices of a few by demeaning the relationships of millions of gay Americans,” Burton said in a statement. “Unfortunately for Romney, a desperate campaign based on divisive demagoguery is beneath most American voters who instead want their President focused on a stronger economy and better future for all. Incidentally, gay marriage is legal in Massachusetts and from best I can tell, it still doesn’t seem anything like Las Vegas.”
This is where Romney’s push to sell himself as conservative is a reminder of why he has generally avoided wading into his record in his campaign - it has problematic corners, and comments like the Vegas line will be used against him in a general election, at a time when most opinion polls show the dial moving nationally on gay marriage.

For me….it is the stutter……and he never looks ……well ….how do I say it……other than just saying it.
He does not look clean to me…..
The trick is to listen only and to not look at the screen.

Mitt Romney beats Ron Paul by 3%, which is only about 200 votes.

Not only that, but he got far less than he did in 2008 (52%). The media can spin this until they are spun dry, but their golden boy Willard is not generating any kind of enthusiasm among the GOP base.
This. What a fall from grace. I can’t wait!
I really want PBO to kick Myth’s ass.
Maine
Romney 39.2 - 2,190 votes
Paul 35.7 - 1,996
Ricky 17.7 - 989
Newt 6.2 - 349
anybody know how many people participated in the Maine caucus in 2008?
I think I saw about 5,535. Mitt won by fewer than last time and Paul more than last time.
so the number of participants are just about the same then with about 11 less people ( 2008: 5535 - 5524: 2012 = 11) this time around. These numbers are bad for Willard especially if he only got 39% of the votes this time. There’s really no statistical difference in the number of participants but the percentage that voted for him are more than disappointing. What the numbers mean is that people are just as “enthusiastic” in Maine, but they are less enchanted with Willard. They like him less this time around and they don’t think he can deliver. This is shocking for a state like Maine where he should have been able to get better numbers i.e.: Maine 2008. If I were his people, evaluating these numbers, I would be worried.
Now with only about 200 votes separating them, Paul is saying it could be a tie.
good. Willard deserves another comeuppance.
How many people were still running by the time of the Primary in 2008? I just wondered if there are more people splitting the vote this time around?
Here’s a link to all the details that year.

Thanks for the link it is explained there.

NBC news just showed a CPAC attendee who still haz a big sad about Palin’s decision to not run for POTUS. (I can hardly type that) He said she would have been “a great leader”. OMG, the idiocy of some people. And there she was slamming and mocking President Obama in the most hateful, sarcastic manner. She is the most detestable human being.
Sarah Palin is a racists, but then again so are most of her followers.
“A great leader” into the abyss for severely impaired suckers.
Just plain good news.

But the latest budget document can be seen as more a platform for the president’s re-election campaign than a legislative proposal for budget debates that will begin next week. The budget will call for a 10-year, $61 billion “financial crisis responsibility fee” to hit the largest financial companies and a tax overhaul referred to as “everyone pays their fair share.”
Congressional leaders of both parties have vowed to pursue an overhaul of the tax code to make it simpler and fairer. But Mr. Obama’s version includes proposals that have been partisan flashpoints. His version pushes for the elimination of “unfair tax breaks for millionaires.” The current alternative minimum tax — which hits some middle-class families — would be scrapped in favor of the president’s “Buffett rule,” named after the billionaire investor Warren E. Buffett and devised to ensure that households earning more than $1 million a year pay no less than 30 percent of their income in taxes.
The budget document calls for a simpler tax code with lower rates, but the president also wants a tax overhaul to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion through 2022 and allow President George W. Bush’s tax cuts to expire for families earning more than $250,000 a year.
Thank you, Mr. President! Let’s Get This Done!!!
yay!
The MSM new talking point next week-
Class warfare and the President is dividing the Nation.
Bets?
I don’t give a rat’s arse what they say…they haven’t been on the right side of anything for a very long time :) They say that NOW!
True!
After their over the top freak out about BC, let them bring it on. The public is on to GOP and know they are the doom and gloomers.
Class warfare and the President is dividing the nation, so I guess the GOP out and out racism has nothing to do with the country being divided. I guess the GOP only being concern for the rich has nothing to do with the division, the GOP only being concern about that 1%. I guess the GOP disrespect for the black family in the White House has nothing to do with the country being divided. Who was it had a white supremacists speak at C-Pac ? Who is it who has candidates running for President talking racists things?
teehee….lmbo
PPP really showing it’s blue drawers. No mistaking it for non-partisan. Not like I have any problems with it. But I find it hilarious……. snippy much? :lol: hehehehehhehehhehehhehehhehhehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehe!!!
“snippy much?” lol
mittmentum- week long poll. 5k turn out in your ‘home state’ . ‘victory’ over that aged, nutcase of an opponent. the sweater pulls in 18% without even campaigning. you get 39% . yay.
TOD family & Chipsticks - I received in the mail today from OFA, my 2012 Road Map to Victory! The letter from Jim Messina says “Let me begin by saying that there are many pathways to victory in November. By our count, there are at least 40 ways to get to the 270 electoral votes necessary to re-elect President Obama”.
I also got that today. So many of the roads go through Colorado. We need to get even busier. Call, call, call!!
FLOTUS should be back home now with POTUS and the girls. I’m sure they are HAPPY. Bo too.
Rasmussen really wants to get fired from FOX
50% Approve of Obama in Ohio, 44% Say Same of Kasich

Kasich’s number should be hella lower. This is ridiculous.
Agreed.It IS Rasmussen though….
I guess they put Obama on the same poll with Kasich, almost making it like a choice!
It’s Rasmussen taking a small sampling. Take it with a grain of salt.
A big, BIG vote in Greece Parliament on Sunday.
This is the one that makes or breaks Greece.
MSM will not inform you, they are to busy kissing the GOP ass!

Flip flop is not liked by his severely “conservative” brothers and sisters. You can’t make this stuff up, yawl.

That’s about normal. If it ain’t Ron Paul many of the CPAC crowd ain’t going to like it.

They took phrases from letters — their husbands were all serving in Afghanistan — and wrote the song. The director is the choir master for the London Symphony. I shared on FB and asked that it be passed along. Hope all of you enjoy.
Thanks for sharing. I posted it.
Video of FLOTUS at Northland Church this morning:
She looks amazing. I love that dress/suit/skirt set/ outfit — whatever it is!!! The color is perfect and I’ve always liked her hair up and with with some curl to it. Love our FLOTUS!!!

OMFG Whitney!!! I’m crying. I loved her. I cannot believe this. I am soooo sad :(
Really sad and shocking news! It was so hard for me to believe what i heard! My Children loved Whitney Houston! They are the ones who introduced me to her music. As a father who lost a young daughter, It always hits me hard to hear the passing of a young person. Whitney Houston was such a warm and talented person who, in her brief life on this earth, contributed so much to humanity. May her Soul Rest in Peace!
