grats Robin!
Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank you very much
OMG!! I feel like I won an Emmy or something! FIRST!!!
Thanks for the heads up Chips.
No problem UT! The times in today’s schedule were all over the place, a mess!
Way to go, Robin.
VC had posted a link to this video in a tweet in the previous thread ….
As is the case with many of Louie’s videos, it’s poignant and could not be more motivational. Just hope it is spread widely.
And, reminding those who need to face facts, central among those facts being that our President had, from 20 Jan 2025 on, a large portion of Congress not merely disagreeing with certain aspects of his policies but laser focused on destroying him irrespective of the consequences. Well, they failed.
#OutPerform1936
Yes We Must
My old home town. Appleton is a lovely city. Once one of the most conservative areas of the country, it has mellowed significantly. It was there that I marched in a torch light parade (now a thing of the past) campaigning for Richard Nixon in 1960. (Please, I was 13 years old). It was there that people lined the streets to watch Joe McCarthy’s funeral procession, many in tears.
Yes, things have changed. And the Lawrence campus is beautiful.
I went to Lawrence and well remember Appleton’s more conservative days. It is a beautiful city and a great campus and college, and I am so delighted that our First Lady is speaking at my alma mater!!!
as jodi kantor would say, Hmmm (h/t dem underground)
In Phoenix…why am I NOT surprised.
http://www.salon.com/2012/09/28/man_apparently_shoots_self_on_tv_after_ariz_chase/
She is totally spell-binding, she is laying it out, precisely as it was in 2009 and just how dangerous the situation was and our President didn’t play games, political or otherwise, and got to work solving the problems. And!!!
And I missed FLOTUS because the energy company chose just that time to ring my doorbell to offer me an updated water heater guaranteed to save me $10-12 monthly at an increased monthly payment of $2 over my current price! Of course, if I had known it would take so long to answer questions, do paper work, AND wait till rep phoned it in and have me go over the same info with the office, I’d have said ‘no thank you’. Grrr! And, they are coming back tomorrow evening to remove and replace the old one.
Precisely why I don’t usually answer the doorbell if I’m not expecting anyone!
Aw, poor VC!!!!!!
Fear not, the speech will be on C-Span later: http://www.c-span.org/Campaign2012/Events/First-Lady-Michelle-Obama-Rally-in-Appleton-Wisconsin/10737434484/
Just don’t answer the doorball at important times, right?
What I need to do is not be so polite on the occasions when I get caught answering! I’ll have to practise ‘No, I’m not interested’ and if they persist, add ‘Get lost!” before closing the door. [Yeah, I wouldn`t dare, but the thought makes me feel better.
Right you are, VC! My guideline is “if I am not expecting you, you should not expect me to answer the door!” and I stick to it, by golly!
Finally, I can see responses! I haven’t a clue what’s been my laptop’s problem today, but she sure hasn’t been behaving normally. Or maybe it’s WordPress? I stick to it sometimes Pamela, but other times curiosity gets the better of me.
POTUS will be going to Nevada Sunday to prepare for the debate , that’s what Martin Bashir said.
Just finish listening to FLOTUS again, I never get tired of listening to her.
Listening again, Annieb - where?
No I meant to say I heard her speak in Iowa, and in Wisconsin.
Oh, okay.
This is what MItt Romney means when he talks about “harvesting” companies.
In_deed, df!
Wow, perfect timing, click on the TOD site, then right to cspan, and here’s my POTUS!
Man oh man FLOTUS sure does give POTUS a run for his money in terms of giving speeches and remarks. She’s freaking amazing and so real.
She’s definitely his secret weapon!
ut, hopefruit2, you are so right about our FLOTUS.
Yep! I couldn’t agree more. I truly enjoyed her as much as PBO when I saw them in person. She’s incredibly warm and magnetic on the stump.
Just heard on Chris Matthews about a “devastating” speech by Jim Webb regarding Mitt referring to veterans as “takers”. He said it’s on Youtube. I’m going to see what he’s talking about.
He said this yesterday at PBO’s Virginia Beach, VA rally when he introduced PBO.
I think this is what you were referring to. Lawrence wrapped it up nicely in a Rewrite
Wow.
I cannot find it…..
I could only find a portion of it, and it got this at (horrors) Politico. I want to make it clear that I Have rarely agreed with Jim Webb (and have real issues with Politico), but he did a great job on this clip at least what I’ve seen. Couldn’t find the whole thing and much of this is in Lawrence’s report above. Would like to see the whole thing if available somewhere:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/charlie-mahtesian/2012/09/webb-drops-the-hammer-on-romney-136858.html?hp=l5
Thank you Virginia…
To be honest, I was shocked to see Webb speaking at a rally for President Obama. He really seemed kind of anti-Obama when he was active in the Senate. I was in my kitchen and couldn’t see the tv when I heard him on “The Last Word” and had to come down to my family room to see who was giving such a great speech. Couldn’t believe it was Webb. Thanks for the link.
As a former shipmate, I am glad he did well and came to PBO defense. Personally, I never really liked him and I remember his picture in the military. I believe he was Chief Naval Officer or something on the other. He was one of the Vice President candidates that was interviewed by PBO’s team. I recall reading that he was not happy that he wasn’t picked. I actually prayed for Joe Biden. I have always liked Joe.
In the video he said he was in the Marines?
Hmmm, if he was Marines than so be it. I know I wasn’t in the Marines although it was my first choice. Their dress uniform with the sword is the tops. Unfortunately, that is not the uniform a female marine wears. LOL. Marines are our little brother that can kick our a____. We share bases with them and military academy in Annapolis. I think at one time, they were under the Navy along with the Coast Guard. I just remember he was in my upper, upper chain of command. Perhaps, Department of Navy. TOD Shipmates — is this right?? I will do some research. Now, I am curious.
Ah ha, I found it. He was appointed ‘Secretary of the Navy’ when I was in my second tour. He was a civilian but as Secretary of Navy he was in my chain of command. This was way back in nineteen hundred and eighty seven!!.
Ah. I was just wondering. Thank you both for your service to our country.
He was much more consistently on our side than rats like Lieberman and what’shisname from WVA. Although I do give a pass to the WVA guy. They sure don’t like O over there, so he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. Webb was a long time republican and actually thought he was gonna be more of a pain in the ass than he turned out to be. I worked hard for Webb even though I was skeptical of him cuz we just couldn’t have macaca Allen. Now he’s back and we’re gittin’ set to whop his ass all over again.
Webb spoke the truth. We were over there at about the same time. Although I was a bit before. Funny, I remember being spit on and called a ‘baby-killer’ but I’d do it again. No body can tell me that I don’t belong.
High Expectations for Romney in Debate
Like Randi Rhodes said, PBO’s dilema is not knowing which Romney will show up because he has had so many positions on issues.
It’s ridiculous that pundits are trying to sell the idea that a “strong performance” is all that Mitt needs to turn things around. He’s still got a mountain of lies to overcome. Still advocating the same limited, failed tax and deregulation policies that got the country into trouble, and which have been proven to not create a single job. He’s still got to explain embracing the Paul Ryan plan to kill Medicare, starve poor and hungry children, rob veterans of their earned benefits. He’s still warmongering and proposing to outsource his role as Commander in Chief of the US armed forces to Benjanim Netanyahu, and is even now contemplating a return to torture. He still called Dick Cheney an inspiration, and he’s surrounded himself with Bush’s advisers from his failed presidency. He’s still massively failed on the international stage. He still can’t name any countries - or is naming countries that haven’t existed in over a decade (USSR, Czechoslovakia). He’s still planning to explode the deficit by another $5 trillion to give him and his billionaire cronies a massive tax cut and destroy the middle class.
He could perform in a stellar fashion. It won’t change reality. A reality that is becoming more and more obvious even to the casual observer.
THIS!!!!
Plus he is already acting like he does not want the job. If Robme could not handle being Gov of MASS how the hell can he handle being President of the United States. Reagan failed as president by letting others run his WH and GWB failed by letting others run his WH…..The USA can’t afford another failure.
X 3 The bottom line, Theo, is that pundits are trying so hard because they are fighting for their own relevancy.
Let’s be honest. If the media comes out and says that Romneybot 2.0 won the first debate by a landslide, how can this be contested? Seems like the media wants a horse race and that’s what they’ll create, even if that defies reality. I expect that by Thursday morning, Morning Joe will be hyping up a Romneybot debate win.
I absolutely agree with you - all those advertising dollars can’t just be left on the table!
Recently when he was in Ohio, Mitt decided to raise the expectation stakes by doing some trash talkin’.
“Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joked today that Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio., plays President Obama so well in their debate prep session that afterwards he wants to “kick him out of the room.”
“He plays Barack Obama, he plays him well, too,” Romney told the crowd gathered for a rally at the Dayton International Airport where Portman appeared with him today. “After the, you know, hour and a half or so is over, I’m like, I want to kick him out of the room he’s so good.”
Romney insisted that Portman claims that it is actually him who wins their practice debates.
“When he gets finished he said, ‘You beat me again. You beat me again,’” Romney added of Portman, “Well, he likes my arguments, you see. He’s the better debater, but he likes my arguments better. He knows they’re right.”
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/romney-jokes-portman-plays-obama-too-well-in-debate-prep/
No one in their right mind, in either party, does something like this. Everyone knows you under promise and over deliver or strive for a draw.
Everyone knows this. Except for the GOP nominee for President.
Yadda yadda yadda, more bulls**t…
Shocking that CNN kept the feed on as the throngs of supporters were filing out of the rally. Truth is in the telling, or in this case, the showing.
I have never seen CNN do that. Maybe they wanted to show how many people were there. Interesting to me also.
…or maybe they just want to be on the winning side … surely even they by now should know the true state of the situation. All I ask of my american friends is please vote dems straight. You are a beautiful nation, which I will be visiting soon - Bar Harbor - woo-hoo! Keep the democrats in power, please.
. I missed the last election, though I did call in sick on inauguration day so that I can watch it live on tv … 
If any Torontonians know where like minded ppl are gathering on Nov 6th … please share

Thanks VC …
… though I was thinking more along the lines of a bar or a place of gathering downtown Toronto … but just as well, hanging out here means I don’t have to worry about driving home after drinking 
. I have been a long time lurker with the odd non consequential comment or two … I come here just about daily. Have to say everyone here is just pure awesome and I love reading everyone’s comments here. Btw is Snark on holidays?:)
Thank you Chips for this wonderful space.
Where is this? I just got home and missed everything.
If there is anyone out there who watch the GOP debates, can you tell me what you thought of Mitt Romney. All this talk about him being a good debater, I want it from someone I can trust to give a honest opinion. I didn’t watch any of the GOP debates.
my advice is not to worry about how good of a debater Willard is- he isn’t but compared to those hooligans, he looked like a prince among trolls- I’m more concerned about all the lies he’s going to be telling about PBO and his ‘fact-checking.’ I’m more worried about the role of the moderators. are they going to call Willard on his BS ‘fact-checking’? that’s what i want to know.
ps- both sides are trying to lower expectations, it’s a safety net for both of them just in case either one comes out of the first debate branded by the press as ‘Not the Winner.” my guess is that this serves PBO two fold: 1) it’s a safety net just in case, cause… never say never. 2) it’s a trojan horse. Lull Team WIllard into a false sense of security and then bring down the sledgehammer.
You never know what Willard will say since he just says what he thinks will help him win. He may totally decide to be the same as PBO and have nothing different. It looks like he will try to say PBO is lying about everything. The problem with the debates is they seem more like a live commercial with the questions used to spew talking points and OH YEAH always get the zinger in. The charts with a neutral party listing the candidates positions from what they have previously said seems a better measure to judge by. I remember Sarah Palin saying I may not answer the questions as you expect me to and all she did was spew talking points and push her own agenda. Now I fear that may be what happens. Plus the media decides who wins. The positive on that is the audience did not agree with them when they said McCain won.
Personally and with nothing but gut feeling, I suspect that Romney will do fine, but not well enough to matter. I keep going back to what I’ve said in the past. I think people still underestimate Obama’s debating skills. The always bring up the Philly debate with Hilary which from then on influenced all his other debates with Hilary…Obama sexist towards Hilary and of course the PUMA phenomenon. Then the “that one” with McCain, but in those cases all the punditry scored those debates for McCain with the exception of the “that one” debate. And low and behold when non-Village idiots were asked to score the debate, Obama won them all.
I recall that the pundits claimed Obama didn’t do well during the 2008 debates, but the audience always scored him higher. That may happen again this year. What could Romney possibly say to change people’s misgivings about him? Nothing.
To be honest, I’m a woman, and I’ve never figured out what was so wrong about then Candidate Obama’s “you’re likable enough” comment. And now that I know a little bit more about the man, President Obama, and how he holds individual dignity as sacred, I honestly can’t think that anyone would have taken offense at that comment. From the first time I heard it (and I was a staunch Hillary fan back then), I took it as him not liking the rude question that she was asked, and trying to support her by saying that the original comment about her likability was in poor taste. I never thought he was being sexist - and I still don’t.
All I can say is…..May the good Lord have Mercy on the lying bishop is the pres Obama he encounters is the pres who showed up at a GOP retreat in Jan 2010 answering questions in a realistic, honest and intelligent manner. Romney would ask for a Rosary…..that is what I can offer the lying bishop…for he would need it then.
THIS! I still have that on my DVR. President Obama ate their lunch - all 140 of their lunches. It was a thing of beauty to watch.
I agree with your assessment theo67 and did at that time too. When you knew PBO you knew he was not about digs but about respect and arguing on policy.
Oh look here. He starts getting intelligence briefings and the tune is already changing.
“Mitt: Military action on Iran may not be needed”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81802.html?hp=f1
That, plus the fact that Bibi is now feeling the heat after his embarrassing display over the past few weeks.
Romney read the polls that Americans……We The People….Not the YOU PEOPLE and the Military Brass are severely against another war….least of all with Iran.
Romney Knows that he is severely behind. That is why he is doing all these gymnastic tumbling or he would be severely defeated. He will lose in Nov…..the question now, is How badly?
The people who vote for him despite his obvious incompetence should be arrested. They should be charged in the Hague for crimes against humanity (ok, maybe that’s a touch hyperbolic..). It’s the height of irresponsibility for any thinking person to cast a vote in favor of Mitt Romney.
We are in agreement 1001%.
And he knows the President would hit him with this in the debates, he still has not taken a nuclear strike off the table..
Have you seen this one? Samuel L. Jackson……”Wake the F… Up!
I saw it and I loooooooved it. I’m young and it appealed to me because sometimes young voters need to be told to “Wake The Fuck Up” take an interest in politics and policy and vote.
I love it except for the F bombs. That tells my age I guess. It probably will play better with the younger used to the language group.
Romney: Military action against Iran may not be needed
By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 9/28/12 5:02 PM
Via POLITICO’s Darren Samuelsohn, Mitt Romney suggested to reporters that nuclear action against Iran may not ultimately have to happen.
I did not know that Nuclear weapons were on the table.
This is SCARY!
Romney talks so fatuously for a man with 3 different degrees. He is NOT Palin…..but boy, he talks like a wicked buffoonery.
Thank heavens this man will never decide the fate of the world. He can’t even figure out his own position from one moment to the next!
But, he was Even considering a Nyclear strike against Tehren?
Really?
So, if Bibi orders Willard to authorize a 20 megaton thermonuclear device? Coming right up, but it may not be necessary, we shall see.
Ugh!
I know - I wasn’t sure if they meant a nuclear strike, or a strike against Iran because of the nuclear issue. Either way - I’m glad Romney will never be “the Decider” on this matter, or any other critical matter relating to people’s lives.
What a gorgeous picture!

Thank you Dotster!!!!
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in Iowa: Vote Early
just saw the Arthur Davis ad where he’s dissing ObamaCare. quickly switched to comedy central.
there are so many nasty names i could call that freak, but i’ll resist temptation.
I saw the ad too. He’s pond scum. The ad came off as bitter and desperate.
JAY Z endorses Obama, but calls for less Government, less taxes.
Okay?
link?
“I don’t even like the word politics,” Jay-Z told MTV News. ”It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.”
Despite his support for the President, Jay-Z’s “less government” viewpoint is more in line with Obama’s opponents on the right, such as Republican candidate Mitt Romney, who also calls for smaller government. But his stance on smaller government aside, Jay-Z is all in for the president’s re-election.
“I support Barack because I gotta respect that sort of vision. I gotta respect a man who is the first black President ever,” he said. “To have that sort of vision and dream, I have to support that.”
Jay-Z made a point to distance himself with the ways of most politicians.
“To be honest with you I think a lot of people are serving their own agendas, so they just argue back and forth and they think about their next term,” Jay-Z said. ”And it’s more about themselves than about the people. They’re servicing the people, but we rarely get anything done because they’re going back and forth with whatever they’re doing, so I’m not really into politics.”
Where does Jay Z say less taxes? I’ve heard him say before he wouldn’t mind pay more taxes.
Today’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Front Page featured that beautiful picture of the two bright eyed pixies from the Virginia Beach event yesterday. Their eyes are just above the fold.
Awesome, memorable image.

Obama/Biden 2012
Those two contrasting pictures, PBO vs. Romney, say it all. Pictures are worth thousands of words. And they speak to the old brain, the unconscious mind.
Andrea mitchel reports on the Today show, John Kerrys strongly worded letter, demanding more answers on Libya.
This lady is a PAID operative, from the Robney Camp.
I mean NBC nightly News. She thinks her biased reporting is going to win her a Pulitzer.
She thinks she is Lois Lane, or something.
What garbage.
LOL!
wait. i thought you left here for good. interesting…
Hey, let’s not go over old ground
sorry, chips. after some traveling, i was surprised to see this, and i won’t say another word on the topic right now (and won’t engage, and didn’t mean for others too either). it’s just that i’ve found myself not coming here as much to read the comments because of what i feel is a few people spreading so much “sky is falling” stuff and msm stenography (don’t we all know what joe scar and andrea greenspan will say every day “republicans good, democrats bad” no matter how much evidence to the contrary?). this place and most of the people here have been so important to me for a while now, and it saddens me to find myself drifting away more and more because of that. i will not type another word about it today, and thanks for running this place! forward to 14 million hits!
She interviewed John Kerry and she asked Kerry about the letter and Kerry explained that it was a bi-partisan letter to get more information. It was not political. But Kerry should have known better that the right is looking for an opening. I do understand why he did it, as Chairman. However, had that been a GOPer, they would not have done it. So the right is trying to use the letter to gin up that Kerry is against what pres Obama on the Libya attack. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I think this might have been a big mistake by Miss Ann—yikes!
and she’s his last, biggest booster.
Alas. And there you have it, my dear friends, is the very last word…. Straight from Rafalca herself! BuhBye, Rmoney’s.
Yeah, well, get in line.
I rest my case.
Holy Elephant. Ann Romney said that Mitt was nothing or that without her, Mitt is lost…..something like that weeks ago. Now she is worried about his mental well being?
Folks, George Romney after visiting some troops or what have you during ‘Nam, he came back and said that they had brain washed him. His candidacy was officially over in 1968. Does Ann Romney know what she speaks? Can this video pr audio be made into a tweet format? Wow…..this is huge. Ann Romney is now telling Us that Willard is so fragile that his brain can be compromised? This is huge.
I love the team behind Obama 2012 ads. They’re just so darned good.
True… awesome talent!
Ann Romney is really supposed to be Mitt’s secret weapon?
His “mental well-being”?!?!
Oh Ann, oh Ann, oh Ann…….
No one knows a husband like his wife. So add something else to the pot, why Mitt Romney should not be President, his mental well being. Now we know why he lies so easily. Didn’t Ann say that Mitt’s father was crazy?
We need a video/audio and we need to get this information to those in Chicago. We also need to make this go viral. George Romney was off the 1968 elections for saying that he was brain washed. This is close to it, right. Ann Knows Mitt the Twit more than any one, right?
I couldn’t even pull the audio up from the tweet. It seems to not be there now.
I read the article and I see they are explaining her absence from itnerviewing on a cyst being removed from her hand, and not her “stop it..” meltdown.
But I dont’ recall if she had any covering on her hand on Leno…but okay.
They must be averaging a gaffe a day. Not that I’m complaining.
Well, I guess she is telling us in advance what to expect. We will spare her the worry by not voting for him.
She did the same thing during one of their joint interviews early on. The host was talking about Mitt’s dad and Ann piped up and said, ‘Mitt’s dad was crazy!’ Well, Mitt and the host looked extremely surprised at that. Note, it was his being labeled as crazy that caused his dad to drop out of his presidential race. He claimed to have been brainwashed while visiting Viet Nam. Well, good old Annie confirmed what everyone was saying about him. I’ve always said that she is worse than him when it comes to unscripted conversation. Even when it’s scripted, the handlers are on pins and needles.
You have to believe this comment is giving the Romney-Ryan campaign AGITA. The problem is that I think a lot of people feel like Mitt Romney is a sociopath. He has turned “PROJECTION” into an art form. A few days ago, Jim Acosta of CNN, actually confronted Mitt Romney about his ads not being truthful and specifically about the welfare ad. Mitt said that everything was above board. If there is a problem with an ad his campaign corrects. it. We all know he was doing what he does best in that response - he was lying his arse off.
Oh my God. She said George Romney was crazy? Was she making a joke or was she being Queen Ann? What did Willard say and how the interviewer react to her outburst?
She was dead serious. Mitt and the host was shocked. Mitt finally said something like, ‘you’re calling my dad crazy?’ I believe her reply was something like ‘yeah’. It was embarrassing. I’ll try to find it on the tubz and get a link.
Oh my goodness. Wow. That woman is whacked.
I did not watch Ann on Leno the other night, but saw some clips of it and there was something odd about one of her responses about her earlier misspeak. Anyone have a video of the Leno appearance? I would like to watch the whole interview.
Please send that to Thinkprogress also.
Not Worried About the Debates
by BooMan
OFA pre debate video, ridcules Robney-
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2012/09/obamas_pre-debate_video_ridicu.html
Lol!
That’s a good one.
We need to fix this…http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/09/28/924821/obamas-judges-are-confirmed-more-than-three-times-slower-than-reagans-judges/
So Halperin is as much as shill for Romney as the next person, so what’s his bag on this statement about “giving” POTUS the edge. Maybe Halperin’s just hedging his bets, or he’s heard something, or he’s helping to play up the expectations game for his friends at the Romney camp. Espcecially, since I’ve seen in almost every darn interview and segment he’s done on MSNBC that he always tries to go out of hi way to say gotta win this, maybe the Romney camp said, hey, “stop it! you’re putting the expectation too high”.
Now all of a suddent he says this:
Well, if anyone should know about “hard swallow moments” it’s probably Halperin….
Yep.
I got that desertflower……You are just bad to the bones….oops….LOL.
Mat please!
I don’t think I’m even going to touch that!
Can you imagine if Michelle said her biggest concern was that Barack could “maintain his mental well-being”? It would be 6 inch headlines everywhere.
When did Queen Ann say this? That woman is really messed up. And it looks like both she and Willard are just operating in a world of their own. Had the media been doing their jobs, this nightmare would have been OVER by know.
Yesterday during a TV interview in Reno.
Thanks. Wow.
just another crazy-assed quote from queen ann, i guess.
the media have a double standard, for sure-they expect the rethugs to talk crazy, so that’s not news. when they say something halfway reasonable, it’s so unusual it makes big headlines. when pbo or flotus say reasonable things, it’s normal and not news. if they say anything a little iffy, then pow, big headlines.
so if you were trying to decide who these people are, you’d say, wow-rethugs say reasonable stuff and pbo says iffy stuff. but really, it’s just what’s ‘newsworthy’. a grim reminder that the media are not concerned with educating and informing; they’re all about shock and ad$.
my hope (yes, i do hope) is that the re-election of pbo, and the settling in of a democratic senate and a democratic majority house, will re-energize the forces of reason, and citizenship, and civility in this country in a way that effects the way media operate. because i am sick of this shit.
It’s Obama Time…..they are finally going to stop their gaming and start being Americans…..Wall Street was given free money and they have been taking care of Just their inner circles.
