OFA’s grassroots team is on fire. In VA right now, they’re getting people to call one or more people and hook them up with a volunteering team an event through texts and other other venues.
Holy Smokes! Shaka Smart, the coach of VCU is at the rally. He’s introducing Tim Kaine and he also gave a 100% enthusiastic support of PBO.
C-SPAN online is already showing the event. I think they’ll begin showing it on TV when FLOTUS comes onstage. I don’t know if MSNBC or CNN will show the event.
We are going to keep up the fight all the way to the polls on Nov. 6, 2012. That you can take that to the bank. We are for our POTUS for sure. Keep Thinking, Speaking, Moving, and Working FOWARD-2012.HZ
I love that picture. I love seeing the crowds so much. That is what America (and the world) looks like. That’s us, right there. The diversity of President Obama’s supporters just warms my heart.
No – still fired up from the first session! I haven’t done anything else today, well except going to buy top soil as a friend is supposed to come help me spread it a little later this afternoon.
Give MSNBC alittle credit, they did show all the speech from Ohio, FLOTUS and POTUS. I turn to TeaNN and the anchor woman was telling us what was being said. After I saw that I never turn back to TeaNN.
It’s not the outside beauty. It’s whats inside that shines through.
Notice how ugly the people surrounding Mitt are. Their hate is so strong it emits from their body!
Haha. You noticed that huh? Shaka Smart and then the two guys who spoke after him. Democratic guys are so HOT! They have this free laid back air about them and they don’t walk around as though they’ve got a pole shoved up their asses. Plus, they’re wicked smart and have a delightfully warped sense of humor.
David Plouffe, via pool: If the Romney campaign wants to have a debate about crowd count, "we're happy to have that debate."— Ethan Klapper (@ethanklapper) May 05, 2012
Chuck T. only seems to care about attendance numbers. Now tweeting there are 6,000-7,000 in Va., “near capacity”. I noticed the Oh numbers went from 8,000 to 14,000 over time.
David Plouffe just soundly pimp slapped the Romney Camp.

I do not know if you saw it but among the Day Life photo collection, there is one photo from AP which you may consider adding to your collection (I know you cannot take all).
the specific photo you may want to your selection is one in which a gentleman is holding up the photo taken of the Situation Room during the OBL raid – you know the iconic one.
what is even more striking about the photo is the expression of the gentleman who is requesting PBO to sign it. From the “badass” look in his eyes and the general physical appearance and posture, I would not be surprised if he is maybe a veteran or an active member of some branch of the US Millitary or law enforcement or intelligence. if not from the armed forces, he seems to have a special appreciation of the events of that night.
in case snark knoller reads here, i have a scoop for him:
i’m standing here on the floor before the obama speech starts with my trusty decibel level reader. when the crowd erupts into spontaneous “four more years chants” as they’ve been doing the whole time, the decibel levels are a good 2-3db lower than when obama was in virginia in 2008 and chanting “yes we can.” i will embargo this scoop just for snark, since it’s so damaging to the obama campaign, i’m sure snark will want to be the one to break it. clear enthusiasm gap today from these two rallies @chucktodd.
Romney is playing catchup…he's following Obama around at this campaign stops like a little dog sniffing the butt of a bigger, better dog.— (@GStuedler) May 05, 2012
Yup…how pathetic. This is the closest Mittens will ever get to a large crowd. Once again PBO leads, and Mittens follows. I thought the American People were fed up with PBO…so why do they show up at his rallies? The only excitement Mittens will have is when he selects Vanilla Yogurt, I mean, Wonderbread, I mean Rob Portman for his VP. I’m betting by the summer the Right Wingers will tell him to pick the VP before the convention so he can inject some excitement in his campaign.
Fired Up Lady.. Edith video on now.. I love this whole story.. she’s adorable and he tells the story so beautifully and it really inspires. I’ll never tire of hearing it.
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just
pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more
than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible
for re-election.
Congressional Reform Act of 2012–or 2013:
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no
pay when they’re out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social
Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the
American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 1/1/13.
The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in
Congress is an honor, not a career.
what’s funny about todd chuck and henry ed and friends with the incessant need to talk about #s whenever they’re bad for PBO, is that i spent literally an hour looking for photos or info on how many students were forced into that college auditorium in ohio last week for mittbot’s blathering. never found them. hyper-spewing of PBO #s, and active cover up of mittbot #s/photos. why is that upchuck?
I’ll say it again: I am so glad to have lived to see this day. Michelle was even better this time, if that is possible. I’m starting my own drive today!
i’ve noticed several people behind the stage have been tearing up and wiping eyes from being so moved by michelle and barack. can you ever imagine that happening with the mittbot?
I notice people are agreeing with me, thinking it’s weird that no TV channel, other than cspan who joined late, is bothering to air Obama’s Va. rally, especially since it’s at a time when more people might be home and able to watch. Wonder why CNN can’t be bothered? Lemon has too many important things to say right now? What could be more important and why are they hiding this from their viewers?
They got their marching orders from Romneycorp. AKA Karl Rove & Koch Brothers.
The thing is – that won’t matter. They can black out as much as they want. We know what’s happening…and they can only black out so much because they will begin to lose ratings at some point.
@CNNNews: Why are you hiding the President's rally from viewers, yet gave excessive attention to Repub primaries? Seems partisan (BIASED)!— Vick C. (@sonamie) May 05, 2012
still nothing on daily kos either. there is a little thing buried a few pages down in the righthand sidebar with a brief mention about ohio, but nothing at all about virginia.
Virginia LOVES PBO and First Lady Michelle..We had your back in 2008..and you know we have your bck in 2012..ain’t nothing changed..nothing but love for you..in my Heavy D voice
Yes, he was very much so, hopefruit2. I saw that and with my emotional state and the help of my meds.(much pain today, but not stopping) I was able to get through it. Yes, he was choked up at the end. Many thoughts and emotions for him in VA. HZ
YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH….I GOT TO CATCH SOME OF VIRGINIA…WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL FIRST COUPLE….PRESS ON….MOVE FORWARD…DELIVERING ‘PBO’ FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS! I LOVE MY PRESIDENT!
Okayy, was it me or did something happen with PBO at the end of his speech. Did he seem extra choked up to you? I swear I think the momentousness of the occasion and what he was saying and the crowd’s response were really sinking in,
Yes..he was little choked up…my daughter came by the computer and asked why the President was so small….and proceeded to give me a full screen view of my PBO….he was very passionate and a little choked up. Saw it myself on the big screen. If it’s even possible, I love him more.
it’s subtle but something different goes on. It’s like when he did that speech at AZ after the shootings. If you pay attention you’ll see something happen like a lightbulb goes off. I was like: WAAAAAAH? you’ll see.
Lisa, it is so true. It is so wonderful that we know our POTUS so well that we can catch these moments. They are priceliess. As yardarm stated above, we are seeing a great man and will go down in history as a great POTUS indeed. So happy to be alive and a part of this great time in our history.HZ
It’s his Heart. It is so big and so loving, I think he just fills up with love, and all the vibration of the love coming toward him, covering him, lifting him up (where he belongs), on a massive level … It must be a tremendous feeling of Universal Good. We can feel it, and we are only watching on YouTube! Gcl, pj, you tell us, we feel it, we believe. We all want what PBO wants, he wants what is best for us all! God Bless and Keep Him!
Oh what an exciting day. Getting to listen to him twice in one day was breathtaking!!!! Maybe I couldn’t be there but sharing it here and on twitter is so inspiring.
Now off to get ready for our local Democratic fundraiser tonight.
I’m proud to be an American, and I don’t give a dam how the right wing takes that. I am proud to have Barack Obama as our President and Michelle Obama as our First Lady.
The seating capacity at VCU is 8000. Pres. Obama's rally had 8000 people. Filled to capacity. It was a full house. WOW! #Obama2012— (@utaustinliberal) May 05, 2012

COS, can Chuckie count that high?HZ
LOL.
Fired Up 2.0 Two rallies a day are better than one. Church of Obama will bring da house down again. Amen!
Look at that enthusiasm gap!!!

Shaka is HOTTTTTTTT! HUBBA HUBBA!
Somebody please tell me that MSNBC will cut off the Tattoo Guys, Hoarders, Prison Doods, etc., and cut to VA speech! What time is VA event?
C-SPAN online is already showing the event. I think they’ll begin showing it on TV when FLOTUS comes onstage. I don’t know if MSNBC or CNN will show the event.
http://www.c-span.org/Events/President-Obama-Launches-Official-Campaign-in-OH-VA/10737430425-1/
they are showing old vids of PBO’s speeches and the crowd goes wild! hahaha
Isn’t that awesome? Running on his record. Eff, you pundits. Eff you, mittens.
passing out Obama/Biden2012 signs!!!
they played the clip of PBO singing “So in love with you” the crowd loved it!!
PBO is closing in on 15 million twitter followers.
So….Romney is closing in on 500….Thousand.
Damn that’s about 3% of PBO.
We are going to keep up the fight all the way to the polls on Nov. 6, 2012. That you can take that to the bank. We are for our POTUS for sure. Keep Thinking, Speaking, Moving, and Working FOWARD-2012.HZ
GREAT to see you, HZ.
Yes, you can count on all of that.
In the past 24 hours, the president added 37,400 followers! Total 14,800,000 Followers
Mitt added … 1,700 and has 482,000 followers
tweeted!
there is a really cute and smart guy talking on the cbs feed. I see a future politician.

I haven’t done anything else today, well except going to buy top soil as a friend is supposed to come help me spread it a little later this afternoon.
Oh, my. These crowds are so disappointed in President Obama. {snark} #2012!!!
Give MSNBC alittle credit, they did show all the speech from Ohio, FLOTUS and POTUS. I turn to TeaNN and the anchor woman was telling us what was being said. After I saw that I never turn back to TeaNN.
They are doing the WAVE with their signs…..Cool.
People are getting their WAVE ON around the arena!
My niece is going to VCU next year. We are fired up and ready to go!
They’re doing The Wave! LOL!

Why are all the attractive people on Team Obama…Life is not fair for Team Romney.
It’s not the outside beauty. It’s whats inside that shines through.

Haha. You noticed that huh? Shaka Smart and then the two guys who spoke after him. Democratic guys are so HOT! They have this free laid back air about them and they don’t walk around as though they’ve got a pole shoved up their asses. Plus, they’re wicked smart and have a delightfully warped sense of humor.
When you walk around so uptight with all that hate,resentment,cynicism,bigotry, it comes out to the Outer Self!
It’s not all about looks LOL, a ugly vote count just as much as a attractive one does. We need them all.
yup, a vote is a vote once the curtain’s closed and the lights go down.
Lisa…how do you vote..Light goes down?!?! LOL
Don’t you worry ’bout that none, L. For the right candidate, I make things happen
Lisa, you just crack me up. Have you ever done comedy standup? I love it!
Birds of a feather, you know. It’s like there’s a loadstone drawing all the hot people to one place!!

Somehow I think that the Obama campaign will never have a shortage of great music for their rallies.
Chuck T. only seems to care about attendance numbers. Now tweeting there are 6,000-7,000 in Va., “near capacity”. I noticed the Oh numbers went from 8,000 to 14,000 over time.
He wear Brown Suits……That is a dead give-a-way to me that he is a Republican…..
Reagan wore Brown Suits….so does Newt.
doesn’t anyone take what that overripe banana says seriously?
so many things to say about this. but i’ve got my good mood on.
this song sounds like fly 70′s music and I feel like I need to “work it out, work it out, work it out.”— in Beyonce’s Foxy Cleopatra voice.

Oh I am loving the music they’re playing.. woohoo!
Mavis Staples! I’ll Take You There!
YES.. Love that song
Chips,
I do not know if you saw it but among the Day Life photo collection, there is one photo from AP which you may consider adding to your collection (I know you cannot take all).
the specific photo you may want to your selection is one in which a gentleman is holding up the photo taken of the Situation Room during the OBL raid – you know the iconic one.
what is even more striking about the photo is the expression of the gentleman who is requesting PBO to sign it. From the “badass” look in his eyes and the general physical appearance and posture, I would not be surprised if he is maybe a veteran or an active member of some branch of the US Millitary or law enforcement or intelligence. if not from the armed forces, he seems to have a special appreciation of the events of that night.
I do not know if PBO got to sign it
Global, I posted that pic back in the Ohio thread. I saw Marvin grab it, so I’m hoping PBO signed it. He looks like a marine.
Which Ohio thread? I went back to look but couldn’t find a photo of a man holding that iconic picture.
Here ya go

Thank you, LOL. Yes he does have a ‘military’ look. This means something to him.
yes, from his eyes, it seems that the photo means something special to him.
he does have that millitary look
I did not see you previous posting of it but I am glad it caught your eye too.
We really got the same perception.
My thought was that he is probably “One of the Few, The Proud, The Marines”
Will c-span wrap up that big exciting libertarian convention? There are some real characters there. Yikes.

bob, i see that number there too, but guessing it’s for total views all-time of the cbs ustream channel. i could be wrong, but letting you know.
POTUS and FLOTUS are in the building I believe. I always know cause that’s when the SS start lining up around the stage.
POTUS & FLOTUS were running a little late at OSU earlier. i do not know if this will affect the timing in VA

Hey, I referred to romney following PObama around like a lost little dog..and speaking of dogs. DOGS Against Romney! WOOF WOOF!
At the Richmond event. Packed,enthusiastic crowd. He should be out shortly.
I’m still FireUp and I even took a nap
I predict this second rally will be even better than the first.
We should show this to Chuck Todd and Ed Henry! Mitt Romney’s rally in NY!

The auditorium can hold ~ 8K from what I read.

8K full house. Saw a tweet on this.

I agree that Michelle was even better the second time around. Our President and First Lady are terrific! They really do get it!

To tell you truth ‘stunts’ is probably the only thing poor etch- a -sketch is good at, …on second thoughst, not even that!!
i’ve noticed several people behind the stage have been tearing up and wiping eyes from being so moved by michelle and barack. can you ever imagine that happening with the mittbot?
CSpan TV was finally able to break away from all the excitement at the libertarian convention and have joined PBO belatedly.

Lisa, it is so true. It is so wonderful that we know our POTUS so well that we can catch these moments. They are priceliess. As yardarm stated above, we are seeing a great man and will go down in history as a great POTUS indeed. So happy to be alive and a part of this great time in our history.HZ
It’s his Heart. It is so big and so loving, I think he just fills up with love, and all the vibration of the love coming toward him, covering him, lifting him up (where he belongs), on a massive level … It must be a tremendous feeling of Universal Good. We can feel it, and we are only watching on YouTube! Gcl, pj, you tell us, we feel it, we believe. We all want what PBO wants, he wants what is best for us all! God Bless and Keep Him!
No matter what else I do this weekend, no matter what else happens…my weekend is complete. 2 rallies/ 1 day. Life is good. I’m Fired Up!
My sentiments exactly DF. These two rallies made my day!
Oh what an exciting day. Getting to listen to him twice in one day was breathtaking!!!! Maybe I couldn’t be there but sharing it here and on twitter is so inspiring.
Now off to get ready for our local Democratic fundraiser tonight.
I feel sorry for Mitt [NOT]!!!
Look at how Pres. and First Lady are interacting with the crowd!
FLOTUS look like she was ready to dance alittle.
CSPAN will rehear the rally tonight at 8:00 pm!
Did you see him with the baby? Amid all that pandamonium, she was as calm as can be with him. Amazing day, just amazing!
I love seeing PBO with babies. The parents will treasure those pictures forever.
I’m proud to be an American, and I don’t give a dam how the right wing takes that. I am proud to have Barack Obama as our President and Michelle Obama as our First Lady.
We have to fight hard, do whatever we can to re-elect President Obama and VP Biden for 4 more years.
No wonder Phuck Todd was busy trying to low ball the estimate with his “near capacity at ~5000 or 6000.”
Tell upChuckie to quit lying and lying down for his corporate masters.
Chuck Todd should have been in Kentucky with his boss, at the K Derby.
BTW, what happened to that TPM wet blanket on both rallies? I kept searching for it but never found it.
