Good afternoon TOD!
Oh WOW! Can’t believe I’m first! In honor of such, I have a donation for the first one to post their BO fundraiser link…
Me, me, pick me. Only a few bucks to reach my goal.
https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/cookemom
Done!
BTW, time to raise the goal! :-)
Awww! thankyouverymuuuucchhhh!!!!
Now all I have to do is figure out how to change the goal. Thanks again Alycee!!
You’re welcome!
You’re a gem Alycee ;-)
Hellooooooooooooooo Alycee!!!
Thank you, Chips. One of my favs. Remember that summit like it was yesterday…
Love this picture.
Second ??? Home safely from my trip to see my mom. Fairly good visit today.
Glad you are back safe! BTW, is it your daughter that was having her hair shaved as a ped cancer fundraiser?
Hmm seem someone kinda called Tapper out for monopolizing the daily briefings.
“ABC News’ Jake Tapper Ices Reporter Who Interrupts His Drone Strike Question”
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/abc-news-jake-tapper-ices-reporter-who-interrupts-his-drone-strike-question/
I have been so down with the news of the Wisconsin recall vote and the fair pay act…..but then watching the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Ohio workers “fired up”…I just need to remain optimistic! PBO must be re-elected to give him 4 more years making this country a better place for all of us.
barbara - I was inspired by the “radicalized after Wisconsin” post that Chips gave us earlier in the day. All we have to give our President is the rest of the campaign, and then stand by him for his next four years in the White House, just like he’s been standing by us. We owe him as much strength as we can muster. (And then, I’m thinkin’, we can all move to Canada!)
We can do this! :)
Please, everyone, do everything you can to re-elect PBO.
Thank you for your support, too, Barb!

Congrats Alycee & ‘Hi’ to everyone else!
Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo VC ;-)
Hi Chips Chica, nice to see you! :lol: :lol:
Good to see your smilie face too VC, although I see you weren’t first. Hmm.
Just strolled in for the first time today, wasn’t even trying. :razz: Ahem! I have decided that the month of June is the perfect time to allow others to enjoy the pleasure of being first. It’s such a wonderful experience and one at which every TODobot should get a fair shot. As I mature I am realizing the value of standing back and … and …can’t think of anything else…[Am I sounding thoughtful and considerate of others yet?]
You’re majestically selfless VC! :lol:
Thanks, VC. Guess karma rewarded me for staying on task today (I only played sneak-a-PEAK (Rmoney dictionary) twice today). Giving myself a well deserved Rev.Al / catch up break.
Good for you, Aly! ;) I’m finding that ‘staying on task’ thingy really hard, but I’m persevering. I make sure I prepare my work for the next day BEFORE I sign on because, though it makes for a longer day away from here, it means I don’t have anything hanging over my head once I do make it here….except sleep. :lol: :lol: I know things will get lighter near the end of the month, yet I can’t wait for the month to be over! When I checked this afternoon, it was only Wednesday of the first week! I’m going to check again tomorrow to see if the times have sped up. ;)
See, you’re saying “it’s only Wednesday of the first week” and I’m saying “OMG, it’s Wednesday, June 6th — calendar is flying by too fast!” Same set of facts; two different perspectives… :-)
Well I admit I’m only espousing this particular perspective because my time will be my own once again in July. At that time I might revert to ‘time is flying by too fast’, or I might still try to mentally push it faster towards November. Who knows?
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Steny Hoyer’s daughter comes out as a lesbian

She seems like a very sensible woman who will be a great advocate.
PBO leaving SF:
http://www.ustream.tv/cbsnews
OK, GGail, heads up!! PBO is on his way to you!! Have fun. Can’t wait to hear you report.
My President is up in the air!
Hellooooooooooooo Hopefruit ;-)
Hiya Chips!!!! Glad to see that you’re still hanging in there after looking at lamh’s “hubby” yesterday :)
I’m fine again Hopefruit, I had a 24 hour cold shower, so my temperature is near normal again :???:
LOL!!! That poor shower must be out of order by now.
Hope lamh doesn’t plan to post any more pics of her hubby…my electric restraint button is broken from overuse yesterday.
“my electric restraint button is broken from overuse yesterday.”
:lol: :lol:
This is what happened mine:
LOL! Hold on…I’m dialing Joe the Plumber to come fix it…
That RH Chili Peppers clip was a very upbeat note to come home to @TODville. Thanks Ms Chips! I wasn’t sure what to expect though I came hoping that last night’s early reports had been overturned. Anyways, on we go! :lol:
Beautiful day in SF!!! Feel that power of AF1?? Love it
The coolest campaign ever!
http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/06/06/495904/another-federal-judge-strikes-down-doma/
Just because.
Was this posted here? Are the MSM FINALLY PAYING ATTENTION?????????????????
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/06/06/495791/cnn-solyndra-loan-bush-started-no-evidence-of-wrong-doing-romney-attacks-are-made-up/
CNN has two dynamite pieces on Solyndra, “Romney wrong on Solyndra facts” and “Seven things you should know about Solyndra.”
The first one, by Steve Hargreaves of CNN Money, ends:
It’s one thing to spin something to one’s advantage. It’s another to simply make things up to make the other guy look bad. Romney’s Solyndra speech was an example of the latter. Disgraceful.
The next part lays out 7 key facts and what Romney has said instead of facts! Reporter calls Romney on the lying bullshit!
Pigs are not flying outside my window. Curiouser and curiouser.
….there’s somethin’ happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man over there, telling me I’ve got to beware.

robme’s people seem to forget that the internet is not an etch-a-sketch. all those comments he made and ads he ran are still there for anyone to see-and distribute!
the internet is not Willard’s friend
Alycee, Yes, it is my daughter who is shaving for pediatric cancer. How sweet that you remember. The event is in CA the end of July.
Please post her link.
Can’t do it now but I will. BUT……didn’t Chips say something about NO other fund raising from now until Nov.?
Hiya Tnmtngirl, that’s a wonderful cause - feel free to post a link! All I meant is that I wouldn’t be putting fundraising appeals for anyone other than PBO on the front page between now and November, but everyone is completely free to promote whatever appeals they want in the comments. Thanks Tnmtngirl.
Thanks, Chips. Last year, when she mentioned the future event, I promised a donation…
Oh, thank you both more than I can express. We are working on a new donation letter so I will post the link in a few days.
Okay. Now I have to get back to work. Will read you guys later.
The tobacco Tax is losing!
I know. Big Tobacco spent a bazillion $ lying about being “poorly written.” Easiest trick in the book.
So sad, when only 12% of Californians smoke. Our kids are their targets.
Bums me out. It was so close. Big Tobacco spent $47M defeating it.
LOVE the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Been a fan since the early 90s. Love that they support our President!!
ok - I am a little excited about tonight.
Dear Karma, my request was for PERSONAL karma please. But you know that. :D
The President has been very quiet the past two weeks. I”m expecting some blockbuster announcement soon…..this silence has always preceded a big announcement before. The MSNBC pundits will be calling for something,and what he announces will supercede anything they say…..Just a pit of the stomach hunch.
I feel the same way.
I have a feeling we might be getting a GIFT every month from now until the election.
And I’m not counting the recent AQ #2 take down.
Pic w/ SS guy had me smiling! Look @ all those young people, damn miserable bunch, wouldn’t you know! One sure looked like my kid! Gotta send a txt & find out! Was that Kamala on the tarmac? Voted 4 her lots, including 1st run 4 AG
PBO arriving soon in LA:
http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
Love it when he comes here, but I hope his motorcade is long gone by the time I hit the road. The perils of living near LAX.
You should hitch a ride on Marine One LL!
I used to work at Xerox. I feel ya babe.
I love seeing that big gentle bird (AF1) just glide in.
What is with Ohio on that map ?
By the way our FLOTUS is almost at 1M Twitter followers (987,185) :)
FLOTUS you inspire me.
Indeed!

Not working….what is it ?
Oops, sorry. It was the clip on the FLOTUS on Letterman.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2012/jun/06/michelle-obama-letterman-gardening-video
This is SO tiresome.

Yeah…by gutting Welfare and other programs.
What an ego…..
The top two Republicans in the House are urging President Obama to cancel a scheduled event in Las Vegas on Thursday and instead work with Congress to prevent an increase in student loan rates.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) released a letter to President Obama on Wednesday taking him to task for ignoring their offer on a student loan bill.

Oh, I see!
” F” Them.
Pur-lease! Stay out of the tanning bed and do yr JOB!
They’re panicking. It finally dawned on them who’s going to get the blame if rates double. And if he comes to the table they’ll regret it like always.
Jovie, Honestly this is alot of B.S. from Canter and Boehner. You don’t need the President there for them to do their job.
ok guys. I’m off to watch GAME 4 of the Stanley Cup. On a TV. In a bar. Cuz my ass is broke, and the cheap seats were going for $900.
Le sigh.
Back later. :D
See ya later crazy girl!!!
:cry:
ENJOY and good luck to your team, Tally!!
Did my President walk or run down those AF1 stairs?
Answer me this: Was there ever demand to see Dubbya land and take off in AF1? Seems like a sport now on livestream.
This always makes me laugh out loud……
This time he practically galloped. I was definitely holding my breath.
LOL! This video of PBO singing “call me maybe” already has over 5M views on Youtube and it was only published 2 days ago :) :)
This is crazy! :)
I don’t know who has time to do this kind of stuff, but it’s a talent, for sure! :)
When it comes to PBO, some people will make the time :) It drives the MSM/GOP crazy when folks show that kind of interest in our President.
New post everyone:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/06/06/portrait-3/
I just like this photo a lot. It makes me happy, especially to see a new OFA office opening—-this one in Richland Co. in Ohio—-people on a mission. Good people everywhere.
That’s a beaut Dotster, love it. Thank you.
