Ha!
Pamelaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I am a sick puppy (I admit it). I cannot see this picture without thinking something terribly naughty.
I’m bursting with laughter. Oh my goodness! I’m sooo bad!! I really need to go away for while. LOL!
:shock:
Yes? Chipsticks? Do you have a question for me ?
oops:
:lol: You’re outrageously baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!
I know. I shock even myself sometimes. I need a time out.
Me? i’m bad? Surely you mean Dudette! See, I am actually, really, truly, outrageously GOOD! hungry, but good! ;)
She DEFINITELY means me. I agree with her. I’m a bad, bad girl.
Whew.. Sheesh, for a minute there, I thought it was my blood sugar… When do I get to eat?
Lol!!!!! I was thinking naughty thoughts also!! PLEASE pass me a naughty mat!!
Good job Pamela - U go girl :-)
It’s me
You and me! What a team!
Screamin’ here! Do we each get a prize, or shall I just give you mine?
Pamela, I burst out laughing when I saw it was you up ahead.
I am rolling in it, here, when I saw your name right after mine! :lol:
Look at you with Second Place!! See? Told ya!! :-D
Escondido to none, right Dudette? Hee!
No, I don’t speak Spanish… That was meant to be “second” to none, the iPad is having fun with me tonight! And my laughing out loud is causing kitty to look at me as if I am a wild thing! :lol:
Too cute! I have the same problem with my iPhone. You should hear the words that escape my mouth when trying to type on that thing. So frustrating.
It’s great fun, eh? That Steve Jobs…. He has made our lives so much more interesting! See, I just took a walk with Denea on Skype through the oldest part of Sydney. She out her phone on back camera, and away we went! By, was I out of breath after 10 blocks… That girl can walk fast! Oh oh.. Here is the link for the first spot she applied for: English blogger. She said to tell you all if she can get into the top 10 in both positions, she might really have a chance. Will you all be so dear and vote again? http://www.the-french-job.com/videos.php?show=4faee4e074358
Done.
Lovely.. We kind of need to roll on this one. She only just told me on Skype 10 minutes ago, so now I have go get it out there.. Told her we will give it our best shot! Power in numbers!
Said she needs about 500 more votes, can we do that?
I just voted ……………………AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
:lol: merci bien!
Mission accomplished. I noticed that the candidate’s mom is Fr-Cdn, is that toi, Pamela? You actually hail from my corner of the world?
Oh dear, my life story before dinner: I am dual national. I lived in Province Quebec for many years in the late 60’s - mid 70’s. When I took my naturalization, it was on St. Jean Baptiste Day. My very large group of French Canadian confreres were so delighted, they promised me I would hold an honorary French Canadian Citizenship when they seceded from Canada, and I would be issued my very own French Canadian passport! I am still waiting, but if it ever does happen, I am heading up there to collect my prize! :lol:
Denea benefits from having a dual national mother, and an Aussie father, so she is the beginning of world citizenship, as she came into hers by birthright and the laws have changed to allow her to keep them. She was born in Virginia. And, no, to our disappointment, she will not be at the reunion, but we’ll try to Skype with her so she can see everyone!
Now I get where the Aussie accent comes from.
Lovely girl by the way. I liked her video. Fun and friendly. She made me want to see and hear all about her adventures. I hope she gets a spot on the team.
Okay, now I know ALL about you, but you could have had dinner first. ;)
She’s got my vote Pamela.
TYGG!
:lol: :lol: ‘Singing, Don’t worry, about a thing. Cause every little thing is gonna be alright. Singing..’
Stick with your family, we got you!! :-)
:lol: No hassles there, D. You all & CC will have to pry me out of the house with crowbars.
He loves us BACK! Looky look! :lol: :lol:
Looks like POTUS is taking a nap,This must been when he was a Senator probably listening to turtle McConnell speaking.
Na anniebella, it’s an exclusive photo of him reacting to VC missing out on first - yet again.
Oh, so I was almost right. See comment below. :lol:
I feel for you VC. :(
No, no Annieb, I’m fine! Am having the time of my life, really. :lol: :lol: In truth not coming first is beginning to have its own cachet.
CC, for a split second when I clicked the message button coming back to the comments it looked like this picture fell directly under my ‘It’s me’ comment. Of course I had another bout of laughter! Can you picture it? :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I know, my poor empty stomach hurts from roaring out loud, good thing it’s cooler tonight and the windows are closed! Kitty is use o it, she fell asleep on my lap…
Love The Windy City!
Drove through there way back in 1987, when my little girl was only a baby, stayed overnight with my brother… One of my 9 brothers. He lives in Colorado now.
No sisters? You spoiled thing! My best girlfriend in high school was the youngest after 6 brothers, boy was she pampered, transported everywhere in her teens in one car or another. (I got a little bit since we did a lot of things together) BTW, Pamela, is Denea coming for the family reunion next weekend?
I did have a sister. My baby sister, we lost her to leukemia 22 years ago, at the tender age of 28. It was one of those things in life that makes no sense at all. The 22nd anniversary of her passing is coming up on June 4. Time passes and we get used to things we cannot change, but this year the anniversary is making me feel very sad. She was/is Denea’s godmother, and that is very special!
Awwww. (((Pamela)))
{{{{{{{{{pj}}}}}}}}}
Well at least POTUS didn’t step out of the plane without FLOTUS this time, they look lovely holding hands walking off the plane.
And her dress .. I have never seen a dress like that! It is so beautiful. And she looks beautiful in it. Who is it by?
My guess would be Naeem Khan because of the metallic element, but I guess we’ll see.
Julian Bond (former NAACP Pres) is on CNN with Don Lemon now!
There is the solution to PBO running down the steps from the aircraft - have him travel more often with FLOTUS! ;) Wonder why i never thought of it before?
hahahaha
Exactly! Plus he’d be happier to have her traveling with him more too, thus keeping his stress level down. Brilliant!
He does perk up even more when she’s around. That’s love.
I am sure I am not first, but if I am this is a first for me!
Hey, puddin’ we’ll share first and second with you, vc and I are in a joyous mood!
Yeah, we are, come join us on the podium and whatever picture we get, we’ll let you hold on to one corner. Life is soooo good!
Mr. President & Mrs. First Lady, you are class acts and we love you to pieces! :lol: :lol:
Thanks Pamela and vc…I should have known I wasn’t first…being out here on the west coast, I am always late to the party. The whole TOD family is simply the best…I love, love, love it here:-) :-) :-)
Hey, puddin’, I’m in Seattle, that makes me west coaster too! :)
Okay. Who got kicked off Marine One to make room for Mr. Mayor?
It looked for a while like it was going to be the President!
with rahmbo, it was a distinct possibility.
Haha…you never know.
It was Michelle’s CoS but I couldn’t make out the other guy. That was quite sweet. They (PBO and Mayor Emanuel) have a lot to talk about, with NATO security, the arrested terrorists and the Cubs owner and their racist plot.
Good point
Looks like Dan Pfeiffer and Tina Tchen got the boot!
Where will POTUS and FLOTUS be staying at? I am so glad to see the friendship that seem to be between Rahm and POTUS and FLOTUS.
Wouldn’t they stay at their home?
I am not sure, you know some people in the area complain about all the headache.
Ohhhh I see.
I doubt they’ll sta at their home because of transporting everyone, and the inconvenience, since they’re hosting events. Probably staying close to the conference.
A friend who works at the Water Tower told me yesterday that the SS were swarming the place. Its connected to the Four Seasons so I wonder if they are staying there?
Sheraton
Okay, enough raucous laughter, I am very hungry an mystery have some supper. I’ll be back later to check out my prize, but youse guys all go on and enjoy it too! When was I last first? It seems like not long ago, or maybe it was a long time ago?
Found a great poem from Alice Walker about our first family:
Loving Our Leaders
I find I am loving
our leaders
unconditionally
as I know
I am
loved
myself.
I love him
I love her
I love the girls
the grandmother
the friends
& deceased
grandparents
& ancestors:
I especially
love
the
dog. And would hope
for him
soon
a cat.
They
are us
you know,
our leaders;
finally
leading
ourselves
as us:
Who we really
are:
More perfect
for
our imperfections:
Unconditionally
& forever
loved
human beings.
Congratulations Chipsticks on 10 million and counting. You are the best and one of the reasons why we will win. And the whole TOD community. We are fired up and ready to go.
Ah taiping1, just lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It’s from her new book of poems, Hard Times Require Furious Dancing. She has been a great supporter: wrote a wonderful letter to him in 2008.
Really gorgeous Taiping, added to my shopping list. Thanks again.
Here’s Alice reading her letter to President Obama in 2008. He has kept the joy and calm.
Stunning. I hadn’t seen this and I’d forgotten how much I adore her writing. Time to rediscover her. Thanks for sharing this.
I love the clips from Grant Park: the joy of all, the love of the first family. The letter is prophetic for the Obama family still manifests love and joy in living. We are the ones we have been waiting for. It is still all about hope and change.
Oh, I like the simplicity, and truth, of this poem. Thanks for sharing it Taiping.
That was wonderul!
Thank You So Much, taiping! It’s so Beautiful and tugs at my emotions!~
What a wonderful poem,…awsome
Sweet!! Must feel great to be home and reunited with such close friends.
Good evening Todville
Dagnabbit I missed greeting the President at the airport. Silly me, I thought he would land tomorrow.
It’s been a crazy day. I started out going to the store this morning to pick up a few items in hopes I ‘d finish early so that me and a friend could make preparations to possibly greet our President at the airport. Silly me, I really thought he would land tomorrow. Well I just got home from this am about 3 hours ago. I was in Uptown and couldn’t figure out why it was so crowded and everyone was going to the lake. It turns out everyone was going to the lake to see the Nato dignitaries and the Kite festival. I wish I could have gotten one of those kits for my great grandson had I known that; but I never made it to the lake. I started to walk but these old bones didn’t want to trek the several blocks to the lake where the bus left us off.
NATO Dignitaries Come Out For Kite Festival
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/05/19/nato-dignitaries-come-out-for-kite-festival/
Then someone told me the President was throwing out the first pitch for the cubs/ sox game. No he didn’t. Silly me again. I got all caught up in the game traffic too.
Someone in another thread asked about the protests at Rahm’s house. It was the nurse’s diiscontent with Rahm.
Here is my little offering which may summarize it better.
http://obrag.org/?p=60718
Woo Hoo .. we’re home! Let’s party!
And is that Rahm Emanuel’s wife? Becase she is wearing something striking also! Wow. I would hope these two couples could go out and have a great time together in Chicago! I love Chicago!
daisy..i saw the promo for Chicago…loved it….
Her dress is hawt. Pity there is always this guy is with her.
I have a feeling that she prefers it that way! 😊
You mean the dress or him ?
Both, of course!
But on a wager, who she would toss out first ?
Sorry, that would be you! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe in tough love. Got to be cruel to be kind - and all that.
Ha, look who woke up again!
Well, 3 rounds of port wine chased by 4 rounds of G&T would take you only so far.
Near as I can tell, the G-8 meeting was a broad consensus, on many fronts.
Few specifics, but if their is a will, their is a way.
These Meetings are very productive and just think; no Rightwing manufactured controversies that the Press could latch onto.
Yeah, it was a good chance for PBO and Hollande to connect and for everyone to talk without a lot of hubbub around them. I think it was a brilliant move by PBO to convene the meeting there.
I love how PBO welcomes the new ones (first Cameron and now Hollande), and he seems to find time to pay attention to each of them. Poor Sarkozy, watching from home…
I wonder what an ex-French President does in France?
Jovie, the most encouraging reports I read suggested that Merkel was told to stick her austerity where the sun don’t shine. The visuals were lovely too, PBO and Pres Hollande seemed to click. Here’s to a brighter non-austerity future, for the US, Europe and the whole friggin’ world!
Ha! Mark Knoller must be reading your comment with great annoyance right now. He lurks on TOD, I’m almost certain.
Just saying …
#PRESSON
Ha! Sad and true!
OT: Kentucky Derby winner “I’ll Have Another” is 2/3 of the way to the Triple Crown after winning the Preakness today.
http://msn.foxsports.com/horseracing/story/ill-have-another-wins-preakness-stakes-has-two-legs-of-triple-crown-051912/?gt1=39002
Anybody else notice how sad Rahm and his wife are to see the POTUS and FLOTUS?? They are truly depressed by the sight of them.
:lol: :lol: Rahm wife found the highest heeled platform shoes I have EVER seen!! She and FLOTUS both look great in their springy, swirly, girly dresses!!!
That’s a shoe ? It must weigh more than her.
wimmin are weird.
amk, you are funny. But if wimmin are weird, menz are even weirderer. LOLOL
Y’all would wear the same shirt FOREVER if we let you. Witness the blue checked shirt that I think PBO has worn, oh about 14,658 times.
well, we menz are sensible.
men (3) women (5) - case closed.
I noticed that too Isonprize :lol:
So cute! Thinking of that poem by Alice Walker above, “Loving Our Leaders”…and I do.
We’re talking High Espadrilles for Amy Rule!
Not a fan of those wedgies; it looks like they are wearing here instead of the other way around
wearing HER
Yes, they look filled with dread. I feel bad for them.
Unlikely old Joe Ricketts is particularly thrilled to see how much these four people really, really, really love each other!
He can take his corporate welfare request and …. (you folks know I don’t use that kind of language in public :) )
#PRESSON
Yeah, sure you don’t Bob, sure you don’t.
NEVAH :D :D :D (at least not on TOD and Twitter ;) ) ….
And, always like to end the day by reminding #BullyMitt that he is UNFIT ….
#AmericaThisIsNotATest
#PRESSON
AMK….
i tried to change my gravatar but wordpress just won’t let me……pity…
Just e-mail it to me. Can’t trust the guyz around here.
I loved how Rahm stood up for President Obama when the New York Times released that racists piece of crap which was to be funded by that GOP billionaire owner of the Chicago Cubs.
Me too annie. :)
I missed that, what did he say?
In nutshell, Rahm basically said that Ritzer (or whatever that hateful man’s name is — no disrespect meant to anyone actually named Ritzer) was dead to him. Dead.
I think the guy’s name is Ricketts. Rahm wouldn’t take his phone calls after all the crap about the race-baiting Rev. Wright campaign strategy came out. Ricketts wants to good people of Illinois to subsidize a new stadium for the Chicago Cubs — to the tune of $150 million. Dude is a billionaire by the way. But he wants a goverment handout. Pfft.
I love Rahm!!!
yes they did….they looked almost jubilant
Hey Prettyfoot. I missed your birthday. Happy Happy Joy Joy!!! I did Camp Obama today. I had to leave early but it was some good stuff. We’ve got to increase our team. You know anyone you can talk to about volunteering? Pennsylvania is SO important!! And you know, to win PA, we MUST win Philadelphia!!!
when you get a chance…tell me more about Camp Obama….
My first post to this site. I have been following it for the last 3 years, and I have to say; I am very impressed. Thank you Chips first and foremost, and the rest of the TOD family
Hey, welcome T.Bird!!
Join the conversation as much as you’d like.
#PRESSON
alright, T.Bird. Welcome!! If you are “IN” it’s time for you to come out of lurker mode and get with the TOD family!!! It’s ALL HANDS ON DECK, as yardarm would say. And Bobfr? He always says #America,this is NOT a test!!
Again, welcome. We are a crazy, energetic family. If you’ve lurking for 3 years, then you also know that we fight like family too!! LOLOL
So right isonprize, but one thing we will not fight about is our love and respect for President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
WELCOME T.Bird. You are a President Obama supporter, right? Just want to be sure. Again Welcome.
Hi T.Bird! Glad to have you with us. Hope to see you around a lot.
Welcome T. Bird!
Welcomeeeeeee …Welcome
*~*~*~*~*Happy Belated Birthday, prettyfoot58*~*~*~*~*
Thank you so much..PJ…..(((huggs))))
might be time to give us the quote if day again…..
No turning back now, T.Bird, the Light is wonderful out here!
Welcome T.Bird.
Welcome T-bird!
Welcome T. Bird. Take my place for eleven days. I’ll miss this so much, but I’ll catch up with the archives when I get home. I’m going to Angela Merkel’s home. Fifteen friends are taking a trip to Munich, Salzburg and Vienna…I know many exciting things will happen while I’m gone, but I trust TODVILLE to take care of all events. Have a great time, and I’ll be back. I don’t know how many times a day I check in, but more than several, I know.
POTUS and FLOTUS look so great and happy together!!!! I hope the NATO summit is as successful as the G8, and that no one gets hurt in the senseless demonstrations.
Bon Voyage, carolyn! You’ll be so Missed & have a Wonderfully Awesome Experience!
Oh that sounds like a fun trip Carolyn. Have a blast, be safe and we look forward to your return!
Have a terrific time Carolyn. Some of my fondest memories are from when my Dad was stationed in Ansbach, Germany and later visiting my Sister at Ramstein. Take lots of pictures. If you run into any expat Obama fans, tell them about TOD. :-)
Hope you have a wonderful time carolyn. You will be missed.
Have a blast and travel safely! We’ll be here when you get back.😃
Have a great time away and may you all travel safely, Carolyn!
Speaking of vacation and travel, did UTALib say she was going to be away and i missed it? I can’t imagine her not even once sticking her head in to gloat with the Chelsea win and I haven’t seen her on Twitter. either Well, whatever UTALib’s doing I hope she’s having a good time, just as I hope HZ is resting up and following along tho she hasn’t been able to comment.
munich ? aren’t you a bit early for oktoberfest ? :)
Have fun. Achtung (or whatever it is in german for bon voyage)
Here, I’ll be back: http://www.the-french-job.com/videos.php?show=4faee4e074358
21 hours left to vote… Tweet like crazy, and FB, whatever…. I leave it to your capable selves!
Anyone know what Campbell Brown said that people on our side are pushing back on? She used to host a program on CNN which got cancelled not long after it started and she is married to some RW guy.
Thankfully, I haven’t seen hide nor hair of Campbell Brown for years. She’s inconsequential.
She wrote a big slamming op-ed in NYT telling PBO to “stop condescending to women”, saying he’s pandering to women and it’s insulting, and apparently no one she knows has a job and women don’t want to be patted on the head, they just want President Obama to do something about the economy and jobs. Etc. etc. etc. etc. I guess she felt free to expose her true political views since she was canned from CNN, not that it was any big secret, expecially since she is married to one of W’s biggest Iraq War architects, deceivers and bumblers, Lying Dan Senor.
Thanks for the info Dotster3.
She needs some real schooling.
They’re trying to get President Obama to stop relating to women by saying things they relate to, including those things pertaining to the economy and jobs. We’re not stupid. We can’t be deceived by charlatans lie Campbell Brown, who cOuldn’t keep her
Oops… Couldn’t keep her show going. I’d rather listen to someone who’s been working FOR women (i.e. President Obama), not someone (Campbell Brown) working to deceive women.
And CNN seems utterly Hurt, that the Womens vote heavily favors this President
I just sent her several tweets. The article was absolutely fucking garbage. Total garbage.
Has anyone talked to UTAustinliberal? She hasn’t posted on Twitter or here on TOD for a couple of days. Just wondering.
Yeah me too. I miss her calm & understated way of celebrating a blues win. :)
Betsy, she’s probably at the bottom of this pile. :cry:
lmao. I’m sure she started it.
Did she go to the game?
This is so weird, Betsy, I just asked virtually the same thing upthread a bit as UTALib was on my mind.
It is weird as I missed your comment upthread. I’ve been away, and got back yesterday and noticed on twitter that there were no tweets from her at all in the past 2 days, and no comment to say she’s out of town. Hence my question.
Oh you didn’t miss my comment as the times indicate you were first. I was just working my way down when she came to mind again, as she did yesterday. I suspect she’ll soon surface to tell us she was traveling home, or studying for finals or finishing up labs, etc.
She just tweeted to me that she was busy partying and happy, happy, happy that Chelsea won!! LOL.
Continuing my ‘war on women’.
Guy finds a bottle on the beach and being the curious nut he is, opens it. Pop comes the genie and asks for his wish.
This guy thinks it through and then sez, ‘I travel everyday 60 milles to my work in los angeles. The traffic is killing me both ways. I am sick & tired of the bumper-to-bumper traffic. So I want my own private highway from my home to my office.’
Genie is aghast at such an outrageous wish and sez to him’ look mate, 60 miles of highway just for you ? That too in the already congested LA? Forget it. No. Can’t do. Ask for something else practical”
Guy thinks it through again and sez, “Ok, me & wifey are always fighting with each other. How about you give me the gift of understanding women?”.
Genie sighs and asks him “Ok, how many lanes you want ?”
You’re a brave one, amk… 😉
You betcha. Also. Too.
Hee hee!
That’s fabulous! Only in LA.
Snark is On Fire! Has me laughing my head off, almost literally, about hotels and cabs and cab fares. It’s Must See Twitter!
Thank you for welcoming me to this site, and yes I am a Obama supporter. Voted for him in 08 and will vote for him again in November. What I do not understand is why would anybody in their right mind vote for any Republican especially Romney.
That is the $64,000 question!
Well, T.Bird, they simply are NOT in their right mind, so the question doesn’t really apply. See? You generously give too much credit for sensibility; anyone voting GOP these days, esp for Myth, are full fledged certifiable lunatics. So, not in their right mind at all, at all, at all.
T.Bird…..90% of them will vote for Romney because of their hatred for President Obama. They know he’s lying flip flopper without a core, who isn’t qualified to be dog catcher, but these haters will vote for Charles Mansion if they thought he could defeat Barack Obama. Again welcome T.Bird.
:)
PBO and FLOTUS look radiant stepping off that plane onto home turf. Maybe they’ll be able to squeeze a date night in this weekend ;-).
I also love the pics from Camp David — what a lovely setting to host the G8. I hope the First Family uses it more often for rest and relaxation (or perhaps they have been and we just don’t know it).
So, the Rightwings new talking points(Rubio tonight) are, that Obama is the most divisive Politician in History.
Funny thing is-They are the ones dividing the Nation.
If that don’t beat All.
And if they are talking about this President wanting the so called Job Creators, to pitch in a little more, then tough shit!
This line of attack, is a Switcheroo…
jovie141, it is clear that the truth doesn’t matter to Republicans. Who are the ones who have been plotting against this President to fail before he walk into the Oval Office? Who are the ones who have been sitting on their butts doing nothing hoping the economy would fail? President Obama have tried reaching out working with those radical extreme Tea Party Republicans, but they refuse to compromise, it has been their way or no way. So Rubio is just another liar, like all the radical Republicans. Ronald Reagen would be ashame of his party.
So the dominoes keep falling

Excellent.
yes!!!!!!!
“The resolution, enacted at a meeting in Miami, was almost unanimous—with only 2 of 64 board members voting against it. “Given the timing, it is likely to be viewed as both a statement of principle as well as support for the president’s position in the middle of a closely contested presidential campaign, writes The New York Times’ Michael Barbaro.”
Full story here: http://www.queerty.com/breaking-naacp-board-votes-in-support-of-marriage-equality-20120519/#ixzz1vNY8RqQn
….I will not talking about running an organization with 64, SIXTY-FOUR board members…..
….I will not talking about running an organization with 64, SIXTY-FOUR board members…..
….I will not talking about running an organization with 64, SIXTY-FOUR board members…..
I don’t think it’s the number that counts, it’s the actual symbolism. and isn’t 64 board members alot? they are the people who decide everything about the organization, don’t they? don’t know alot about things like this but I thought board members were hugely important and 64 is a lot in my estimation. am i missing something? :confused: :(
Oh, Lisa, I’m glad they voted the way they did.
But, yes, 64 people on a Board of Directors is about 50 people too many!! :lol: :lol:
hahahhahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahaha!!!! :lol” ;) — I gotcha!
Hey, did ya’ll see this?
The Rev. Otis Moss III, the senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, read a letter to his congregation on Sunday defending Obama and the quest for marriage equality enemy.
“Gay and lesbian citizens did not cause the economic crash, foreclosures, and attack upon health care,” Moss said. “Poor underfunded schools were not created because people desire equal protection under the law. We have much work to do as a community, and to claim the President of the United States must hold your theological position is absurd. He is President of the United States of America not the President of the Baptist convention or Bishop of the Sanctified or Holiness Church. He is called to protect the rights of Jew and Gentile, male and female, young and old, Gay and straight, black and white, Atheist and Agnostic.”

A video of Moss talking about Obama’s statement is available on YouTube: http://youtu.be/k7Ktjqf9Vi4.
===================================================
Good on the hip hop preacher. 8-)
Right On Rev. Moss III. As I stated we can disagree with President Obama and still support him. When I think of the evils the Republicans want to do to the poor and middle class, they don’t give a dam if people have health insurance, but still want to get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, and yes Social Security. These Republicans talk of less government unless it’s something they want the government to force you do. The Republicans are behind these laws like stand your ground, the voter ID law, and who knows what else kind of law they want to pass, or overturn. So we better be careful about letting that one issue keep you from voting for the President.
too many people on the ‘copter!! :lol: :lol: that airman(woman) was so brave to be the one to walk up to PBO and tell him he had too many people. I’d be so nervous! and those two completely sweet people who gave up their seats! they all probably drew straws and figured that the most significant people-in case of an emergency like Tom D.- needed to stay with PBO and the equally important but less necessary people like WH Communications director and Miche’s #2 could arrive separately and at a later time.

Night everyone, see ya tomorrow ;-)
So, today’s weekly address, in light of Jamie Dimons kerfluffel, the President called for tighter banking reforms.
Robney being Robey said, that the Banking reforms are hurting the Housing Market in Florida.
Ummm, they have not been written yet, hello!
What a Pandering Dumb ass.
I was wondering how a person gets a gravitar on this site.
