President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama leave for a visit to Fort Stewart in Georgia where they will meet troops and the President will sign an Executive Order to help ensure all of America’s service members, veterans, spouses, and other family members have the information they need to make informed educational decisions and are protected from aggressive and deceptive targeting by educational institutions
Exactly. And the President is not a little child like Knoller, so he and his team know all of the restrictions on a military base during an election year. Since the President hasn’t done anything improper for the last three years of his administration, I don’t think he’s going to start now.
Knoller, as I said yesterday, is more of a minor irritant than anything else. But here he is pretending to be a lawyer, which he is not. But then, he has been pretending to be a journalist for years, so this is nothing new.
He is more than a minor irritant to me, it’s not only is stupid tweets that get to me, it’s report like this: The one he wrote last year that was quoted by all RW pundits. He carry the GOP water.
CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller whitewashed former President Bush’s role in creating $1.2 trillion in deficit for the 2009 fiscal year, instead blaming President Obama for every penny of debt increase since “the day Mr. Obama took office.” But the Congressional Budget Office had already projected $1.2 trillion in deficit before Obama took office, based entirely on Bush’s actions and economic conditions.
And, ya know, BWD’s tweet was like reading “the best of times” and Knoller’s was “the worst of times” and you got him, BWD!
When the President arrives at a military base, any of the 365 days of the year, he is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF not a campaigner. PRESIDENT OBAMA’s official portrait is in the common areas on the base, front and center, not Mitt’s, not Mark’s. Because he is their COMMANDER IN CHIEF. Not a campaigner. Not a loser like Knoller. Not a loser like Romney. Nothing to do with any campaign or some so-called sorry-assed reporter who hates his sorry-assed job.
You can call it campaigning if you want Mark … the President and First Lady are reaching out to the troops and their families because that is what they have been consistently doing for three years …. he as COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, she as a First Lady who has actually organized with Dr. Jill Biden a formal platform for helping the military and their families. Besides Mark … get this through your stupid, hate-filled head: he IS the President of the United States!
This man is so filled with hate, it’s creepy. I told him he should openly declare his loyalty to GOP. Also told him the CIC can speak to troops any time he wants to. He’s sad because Romney can’t hop on a plane and talk to troops. Well, suck on it. He isn’t president and with God’s help never will be.
It seems, the Republicans are so afraid of the Presidents ability to Campaign, that everywhere he goes, they will distort, lie, stalk, Mock and raise concerns about AF-1.
Yup- it’s what they are doing!
As I said in the reply to BWD last night. The Rove method is to use your strengths against you. They used intelligence against Gore, and military service against Kerry…so they are trying to use the Prez’s likeability against him. The problem is, THIS AINT YOUR FATHER’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
.
One thing that Axelrod said a while back is that the person who wins the race determines the playing field. So, the Repubs will do everything to get the president to retreat and not talk to the people without the filter of the press. But it ain’t working, so Speaker Orange creates a fauxtreversy about reimbursing the people for the trips to the colleges this week, the RNC files a complaint regarding travel and reimbursement, the moronic press starts asking asinine questions about the Prez ONLY going to battleground states, (Because we all know that visit to Osawatomie put Kansas in play for the Prez/snark).
.
Its pure Grade A BS—and it aint gonna work.
Zombey wanted to Kill Detroit AND LEAVE BIN LADEN ALONE! Stupid quote of willard’s going around yesterday about not needing to move heaven and earth to find one man.
Mark Knoller is just another hack in a long line of Washington hacks, with his gottcha questions that don’t quite gettcha. He’s at his best critiquing the finger sandwiches that are served on Air Force One.
They really allow that fatso on the plane? Doesn’t it have a weight limit? Isn’t there anyway we can get on CBS ass to have this piece-a-shit removed from the White House Press roo? There must be a way. Twitter, boycott, e-mail, facebook, pigeon, something. Tired of his ass. He’s not a ture journalist.
Madison – A pair of appeals court rulings this week make clear the state’s new voter ID law will remain suspended through the May and June recall elections.
One of the opinions, released Thursday, said there was “no realistic possibility” the case would be decided before the June 5 recall election against Gov. Scott Walker and some of his fellow Republicans.
Walker and Republicans in the Legislature last year approved a new law requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls, but Dane County Circuit Judge David Flanagan issued an order temporarily blocking the requirement in a case brought by the Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera.
Bill and Hillary Clinton’s network of political donors has a message for President Barack Obama’s longtime backers when it comes to multi-million dollar contributions — you first.
And Tweet Jay Carney what Knoller just said, he needs to call him into his WH office and reem him a new one.
( I would tweet, but I can only receive tweets from I phone).
I feel so old. My phone can only receive and send calls and I think it can take pictures but I don’t know for sure. I can’t twitter, I can’t twit. I just learned how to text.
Miss pat, yes try it. You are not ‘so old’. Remember we are in the same range, and we are the foxy fine age well ladies along with our other TOD family members.
My family here taught me how to go on Twitter. I went over, signed in and I love it. I am not the expert, so do not ask me to walk you through it. Tally and so many others wrote out instructions here , and I followed. I have to do some extra stuff because of you know what, but other than that I am the great aunt and granmother, mother who will do a RT in a minute and I do try to do my best to tweet when the joy bells ring. God for it. Love you, miss pat. HZ
I will try HZ. I signed on to Word Press to come on here all by myself. I’d ask my daughter but the look on her face turns me off. So I taught myself how to make a document and write and I must say I did well. So I will go try to twitter and learn to twit and when I get it I will let you guys know.

WASHINGTON — Facing political pressure from Republicans and farming groups, the White House has decided to scrap rules proposed last year that would have prevented minors from performing certain agricultural work deemed too dangerous for children.
The Labor Department announced the decision late Thursday, saying it was withdrawing the rules due to concern from the public over how they could affect family farms. “The Obama administration is firmly committed to promoting family farmers and respecting the rural way of life, especially the role that parents and other family members play in passing those traditions down through the generations,” the department said in a statement.
While the move is destined to please the many conservatives and agricultural groups who came out in opposition to the rules, it was quickly criticized by workplace and child safety advocates who say the White House is caving to anti-regulatory politics.
Here’s what bothers me: does the administration actually believe that they will win any votes or good will? Seriously? Instead, invite the ire of workplace safety advocates? To what end?
Yeah, much as I hate to say it, this was as close to a cave as I have seen. They had already carved out special niches for family farms. Won’t make me not vote for him or be any less enthusiastic about him, but I am disappointed.
Yup. And I didn’t even know they had already carved out some exceptions. The ‘cave’ was probably to rural Conservadems but their voters would be just as happy to vote in a Republican no matter what. Instead of adequately selling the carve-out and staying true to progressive principles, I see no win here. Whether we like it or not, a number of lefty voters are willing to stay home and never see the long term picture. We can’t afford to lose votes. Not this election.
It will all work out for the greater good. Let them have their kids work on the farm and do slave labor. We will send ours to college and get them educated. Billie Bob and Emmy Lee can stay on the farm and work. Nothing wrong with that. They will always vote Republican anyway. No votes lost.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….I LOVE THE FIRST LADY’S DRESS…THE GUY WITH HER ISN’T BAD EITHER! THERE ARE SOME BLESSED TROOPS IN WAITING TODAY! I BE WATCHING!
Here’s a great phrase (from dKos, just to give credit when it’s due): House Republicans voting to trade student loan interest rates for children’s immunizations
Judge rules no records will be sealed from media in #GeorgeZimmerman case, except for those dealing with security bit.ly/IYjlYU— Dog Lovers for Obama (@Donna_West) April 27, 2012
What were the florida fuckers trying to hide ? His criminal records ?
No, he was a grown man. Called on Daddy so save him. Daddy couldn’t save him on the big one. But he might get away, don’t trust the Justice system. Now they are going back to his great grandfather in Peru who iwas sujpposedly Black. Now he wants to be Black after he called the young man ‘coon.’ He said it and they are suppressing it.
“For House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the emphasis was the GOP’s cuts in the preventive health program, whose initiatives she said include breast cancer screening and children’s immunizations. She contrasted that with a Democratic bill extending the low student rates
by cutting subsidies to oil and natural gas companies, which is opposed by the GOP.
Pelosi characterized the Republican view as, “‘We prefer tax subsidies for big oil rather than the health of America’s women.’”
You want to just scream, don’t you? This fund is what Boner called a “slush fund”. And yet what was supposed to be a start up subsidy in 1917 to the oil companies, is protected by Repubs in a time of record-making profits for the oil companies.
How is this President not at 90% approval? How do these Republicans get half of the country and half of the swing voters to follow them?
There is something so endemically wrong with this country. I literally lose sleep over it. It’s horrific.
Sometimes we get so focused on the War on Womend that we forget that, in actuality, the Republicans are, quite simply, at war with all of America except the living 1%. I add the word living, because they really don’t even care about the next gereations of the 1% who will also have to deal with a world where the environment is in ruins, the water is undrinkable, etc.
Good morning Chips and TOD family!! Can’t wait to hear the POTUS and FLOTUS this morning. I have missed all the speeches live this week and hae only caught up with afew. Hard to keep up with this President. Can’t wait for the first campaign event. We are off and running.
Again thanks to everyone for all the information brought here. I try to twit all the links. Hate that Mark Knoller! Thanks BWD and Chips for those great tweets to him. Hope he feels the kick in the ass!
The group put out a “Key Vote Alert” this morning “urg[ing] all House members to vote “NO” on the Interest Rate Reduction Act (HR 4628),” and warning members that their vote may be used against them on the Club’s Congressional Scorecard, which they use to rate members when making considerations about endorsements and independent expenditures.
The Club explains that it thinks the government should not be subsidizing student loans and that the the Affordable Care Act should only be repealed as a whole:
Why does 60 minutes even put a Guy like Jose Rodriguez on their Show?

OMG! Neo- Con bullshit right there!
I listened to Stephanie Miller this morning also and heard the same. I concur with you 57andfemale about the RWNJs, but I am pleased that this POB will not allow their spewing untruths about what did work and what they claimed did, without doing his own research.

New York-based press operative Danny Kanner is joining the Obama campaign in Chicago as the deputy director of rapid response, working under former DGA spokeswoman Lis Smith in the communications shop, officials said.
Kanner will leave his post as press secretary for New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, and will begin in Chicago a week from Monday.
Kanner is well known to reporters who covered some of the competitive Senate races in 2010 – he worked on Florida Gov. Charlie Crist’s campaign for Senate when he decided to make a go of it as an independent in that race. He also worked as a spokseman for the New York City Dept. of Education under Joel Klein, was the communucations director for Missouri AG Chris Koster.
The move comes as all sides are beefing up their communications staff for the long haul.
MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain called out Fox News host Greta Van Sustern on Thursday for inviting Lindsay Lohan to the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
Van Susteren made headlines earlier this year when she announced that she would boycott the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner because comedian Louis C.K. was headlining the event. She also encouraged her colleagues to do the same. She called C.K. “a pig” who uses “filthy language” to “denigrate women.” C.K. later pulled out as host of the event.
McCain seemed to find Van Susteren’s decision to invite Lohan confusing. “So let me get this straight,” McCain tweeted. “Greta Van Sustern is bringing Lindsay Lohan to the WHC Dinner but has a moral offense to Louie C.K?”
Van Susteren and her husband are somewhat known for inviting big names to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Over the years, their guests have ranged from Ozzy Ozbourne to Kim Kardashian.
Obviously first…but an “atta girl” at BWD. ROFLMAO
I couldn’t stop laughing when I read that…
Me too. It was the first thing I saw when I opened the new post and I just about lost my mind laughing.
Yay to you again lol!
President Obama is not even campaigning. Mark is an a**.
As long as the President is pushing policy and does not come out and say, I need your vote, then Knoller is dead wrong!
Knoller has a job to do, if he doesn’t do it then he will be taken off the right wing pay roll.
Exactly. And the President is not a little child like Knoller, so he and his team know all of the restrictions on a military base during an election year. Since the President hasn’t done anything improper for the last three years of his administration, I don’t think he’s going to start now.
BWD tells it like it is! That’s what I REALLY wanted to say when I tweeted him….
You need to tweet that to Ben Labolt so he knows what knoller just said!
I hope they go after this pig tomorrow night at the White House Pressitutes Dinners….call him out by name.
Hee. I left the high road a loooong time ago. These people are evil.
I couldnt believe that was you when I first read it. And you used to be so prim and proper.
I still am. Most of the time
But not with these assholes. The president may have to keep the high road. Not me.
BWD, your response to that Fat-Fort Mark was appropriate. I am still laughing.
Seriously on point. I’ll stand with you on that.
Exactly on point! Poor little pissy pants doesn’t know the CIC gets to talk to his TROOPS! What a BuffOON.
Most excellent reply bwd.. I’m about as sick of Knoller’s bs as I can be. What a low down tool.
I am laughing so hard. You are my inspiration!!
OUCH!
Knoller, as I said yesterday, is more of a minor irritant than anything else. But here he is pretending to be a lawyer, which he is not. But then, he has been pretending to be a journalist for years, so this is nothing new.

Heard of Stephanie Miller this morning that an exhaustive study has been done, and ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ achieved nothing.
Now that’s not going to matter a damn to RWNJ’s, but I’m glad such a study exists.
I listened to Stephanie Miller this morning also and heard the same. I concur with you 57andfemale about the RWNJs, but I am pleased that this POB will not allow their spewing untruths about what did work and what they claimed did, without doing his own research. They will not tarnish his Presidency. I like it when he makes sure he has the facts. HZ
And those facts blows the RWNJs completely out of the waters. His facts shuts their freaking mouths up and their heads explode. Love my POTUS.HZ

New York-based press operative Danny Kanner is joining the Obama campaign in Chicago as the deputy director of rapid response, working under former DGA spokeswoman Lis Smith in the communications shop, officials said.
Kanner will leave his post as press secretary for New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, and will begin in Chicago a week from Monday.
Kanner is well known to reporters who covered some of the competitive Senate races in 2010 – he worked on Florida Gov. Charlie Crist’s campaign for Senate when he decided to make a go of it as an independent in that race. He also worked as a spokseman for the New York City Dept. of Education under Joel Klein, was the communucations director for Missouri AG Chris Koster.
The move comes as all sides are beefing up their communications staff for the long haul.
Sounds like a REAL GO GETTER! Wonder if Florida wishes they would have elected Charlie Crist instead of rubio? Alex Sink instread of rick scott?

MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain called out Fox News host Greta Van Sustern on Thursday for inviting Lindsay Lohan to the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
Van Susteren made headlines earlier this year when she announced that she would boycott the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner because comedian Louis C.K. was headlining the event. She also encouraged her colleagues to do the same. She called C.K. “a pig” who uses “filthy language” to “denigrate women.” C.K. later pulled out as host of the event.
McCain seemed to find Van Susteren’s decision to invite Lohan confusing. “So let me get this straight,” McCain tweeted. “Greta Van Sustern is bringing Lindsay Lohan to the WHC Dinner but has a moral offense to Louie C.K?”
Van Susteren and her husband are somewhat known for inviting big names to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Over the years, their guests have ranged from Ozzy Ozbourne to Kim Kardashian.
our FIRST COUPLE looks so wonderful.
thanks, Chips
