Yeehaw - first! I’m only first ’cause I was posting this tweet on the bottom of the last thread and the page magically refreshed!
Thanks for this post, Chips.
Jacqueliiiiiiiiiiiine!
Yep!!!!! Pretty cool, eh?
Congrats jc. Mine was goin that way too and I panicked and backed out.
Thanks! (Can’t quite see you panicking and backing out, though, but I’ll play along!)
Trust me. I don’t take chances when my pc makes an unexpected move.
Oh, yeah, I’m with ya on that part!
Excellent jacquelineoboomer! Congratulations!
Great tweet too!
Thanks, dear one!
Pretty, pretty :cool: ! Very, very nice to see you at the top of the pile, JO’B!
Ha. Yes, I’m often at the “top of the pile.” Thanks, VC!
Congrats on 1st Jacqueline and GREAT TWEET!!!
Regarding #GOP Obstruction …
We must breakthrough and be the MAJORITY Party in the Senate. Period.
Yes We Can
Thanks, Bob - glad to R/T that one!
Honestly, unless we can mount a credible primary threat to the filibuster enablers in the Senate, there doesn’t seem to be any movement. Harry Reid must not have the votes or the balls to do anything.
That’s awesome. One more reason to like him.
Sometimes it gives ya a little thrill to see who’s involved in various causes we non-celebrities (and I speak only for myself on that) support! Good for him.
Hey up there - congrats, Jacqueline!
Thank you, Judith!
GE TOD, Congrats JB :) Thanks for providing audio of the teleconference, Chips!
People losing their insurance is a bigger story, unfortunately, than people getting insurance for the first time.
1. PEOPLE WITH THESE POLICIES FREQUENTLY DON’T LIKE THEM.
2. PEOPLE WITH THESE POLICIES DON’T TYPICALLY HAVE THEM FOR VERY LONG.
3. MANY, PROBABLY MOST PEOPLE WITH THESE POLICIES WILL FIND OBAMACARE POLICIES COST THEM LESS.
4. THE PEOPLE GETTING WORSE DEALS TEND TO BE MORE AFFLUENT.
5. PAYING MORE FOR INSURANCE MIGHT MEAN PAYING LESS FOR MEDICAL CARE.
6. JUST BECAUSE YOU LIKED YOUR POLICY THIS YEAR, THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU’D LIKE IT NEXT YEAR.
….It’s impossible to specify exactly how many people are going to be better off in the new system or how many will feel better off. Those two things are not the same. But both groups are probably the majority of people with non-group insurance—and quite probably a large majority. That would suggest relatively few people are like the ones we’re hearing and reading about so much in the media.
That doesn’t mean the media or policymakers should ignore these people. Again, this is a very big country, which means even a very small percentage can number in the millions. But the media should give these stories the proper context—and put them in the proper perspective. Right now it isn’t.
He inspires me every single day.

What can we do to help people sign up for Obamacare?
Anniebella, if they have a computer and know how to use it, we can direct them to Healthcare.gov where they will probably be able to apply online. There is a link to every state from there. If they aren’t computer savvy, they can call 1-800-318-2596 and get help on the phone. The main thing is to ask your friends, relative, and neighbors if they have good health insurance and to explain why they may find a better deal on their state marketplace if they got cancelled or if they have no coverage. This does not apply to people old enough to be on Medicare. Look up barackobama.com/events and put in your zip code to see if a local OFA group is doing any leafletting or other educational events on Obamacare. Some states are.
Wooot! Thanks for the fresh post Chips! And thanks for recording the call and uploading it!
You DA Woman!!! Wooof! Wooof! Woooof!
My pleaaaaaaaaaasure Dudette, thank you!
“Here in Washington state, we take education seriously. We’re home to world-class universities like the University of Washington and Washington State University. We’re taking innovative approaches to prepare our children for jobs of the future at places like Henrietta Lacks High School right here in Clark County. And our state’s Supreme Court ruled last year that we’re constitutionally obligated to fully fund a quality K-12 education system.
But when it comes to early education and helping our children enter kindergarten ready to succeed, we have a long way to go. In Washington state, 91 percent of eligible 3-year-olds and 80 percent of eligible 4-year-olds don’t attend state- or federally funded preschool, and by the time they get to kindergarten, those children are far behind their peers on the path to success. It’s not fair to those kids, it’s not good for our state, and it’s time we did something about it. That’s why I joined a bipartisan group of my colleagues this week to introduce legislation that will give every child in Washington state and across the country access to high-quality early education.”
children are the future. thanks LP!
I just put the phone # for Healthcare sign up IN MY CELL PHONE. Have it handy for those that you have conversations with:)
Outstanding idea, df!
Yup! I think we should all do that…because you never know when the moment happens! We could save someone’s life just by having the number handy and available…make them call from your phone even:)
Brilliant! Just added Obamacare and Coveroregon to my contact list in my cell.
Cool!!
Love that idea! Thank you, df.
Thank you bunches, meta!!
Thank YOU, brainiac!!
stellar idea Meta!
It’s the brainchild of df!
oh - ha I see that now I’m going backwards great idea DF! I just put the number in my cell phone too :-)
Totally. Brilliant. Done! Thank you!
Gotta bring this over, cuz awesome!
Great tweet, Bob!
Have you gone Christmas shopping yet? The NBA has a really cool gift idea…… :cool:
I saw a tweet from OFA Md asking people to help them hand out ACA flyers. I thought that is something I could do here in IL.—-hand out flyers at the community college near me, and elsewhere. Now, does anyone know how I could get said flyers?
Check OFA or Planned Parenthood…
More wonderful!
We’ll have him for a whole hour.
If I don’t forget, I’ll be there with ya! So many distractions … so little time. (Ha - I’ve got all the time in the world here in retirementland!)
Aweeeeeeeeeeeesome dude! Our Bodies, Our Choice.
This is so wonderful:) Bravo, Mario Batali!!
Chips a thousand thankyou’s for posting that phone call from PBO. I never could connect so very grateful that I got to listen to it. thx :D
The First Lady taped a episode of 106 & Parks on BET today, it will air tomorrow at 6pm. Put it down so you don’t forget.
Thanks for the reminder.
here’s “the Talk” - if you haven’t seen it yet it’s pretty cute.
I am writing that Obamacare phone number down so I can have it near.
Put it in your cell phone, anniebella:)
Okay
:) Good job:)
That struck me so funny. And I’m old enough to remember watching Moms Mabley on the teevee.
Thanks for the reminder, J’ob! I’m looking forward to watching the documentary. I have fond memories of my family gathered around the TV to watch her when we were little.
Damn I forgot this special was this evening.
DVR’d it and it’s coming up for me at 3:45-5:00 am overnight, which - of course - I’ll be watching tomorrow!
Gotcha. Thanks.
Welcome. (Even my old grandmother liked her - think when she’d be on the Merv Griffin show or one of them!)
I use to hear her before tv. She was way back in the day. My folks had some of her records on 78 rpm’s. She was on Ed Sullivan.
Folks this why Don Lemon has been a Lemon for so many months now.
He was pimping for a Gig. Now the gig is up
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-don-lemon-getting-11-p-m-timeslot-mon-fri/
Mediaite has learned through very reliable sources that CNN anchor Don Lemon will be getting his own program in the 11 P.M. hour at CNN. It will be a one-topic show tackling important issues of the day, either reported or vastly underreported, from Lemon’s unique perspective.
We hear Lemon already informed his weekend staff of the change, and last weekend was his final weekend for CNN Newsroom. The show will be tested during the 11 P.M. hour in December, a timeslot currently occupied by reruns of AC360.
Mediaite has also learned Lemon will be filling in for Erin Burnett on Outfront while she is on maternity leave.
Sounds a little like a demotion … when they start using anchors to “fill in” and then move them to the weekend or late night … shades of Ed Schultz, et al.
Not a demotion for he would have a prime time slot…..and then cover for Erin Burnett’s time slot.
You could be right. I considered that prime time issue - still sounded a little “off” to me with the “fill-in” part.
It is a promotion but he has a December as the trial rating getter……….to determine how he is doing. So watch out for the Lemon to get more Sour and Bitter against POTUS and African Americans.
It seems those are his gig now. It has paid off for him.
Isn’t Lemon only on CNN over the weekends?
I only recall seeing him on Saturday evenings (though I hardly ever turn CNN on lately).
Per the stories likned, the Lemon has done his last show last weekend and is now going to replace Erin Burnett while she is on maternity and then he starts his 10:00pm ET show in December.
He may be filling in already, since I spotted him on daytime teevee today … I don’t follow CNN much, either, so not sure.
Nena, I won’t be watching the ugly bastard.
Oops….this is why. Sorry

Health law helpers finding more luck on HealthCare.gov
Source: Reuters
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Healthcare workers assisting people to sign up for insurance on the HealthCare.gov marketplace on Monday told Reuters they had noticed improvement in the problem-plagued website.
* * *
“Saturday was the first day that I was actually able to get someone through the entire process on the website. That was pretty exciting. And I know on Saturday that wasn’t the case for everyone on my team, but more and more consistently we’re having success with it,” said Rachel Udow, program director for MHP, a community-based organization focused on migrant issues in Weslaco, Texas.
Oh Yes, indeed…..Like Billy Idol would sing….well….more like Shout……You say, more, more, more……
More, more, more, more. Yeah!

If you want to stop abortions, it’s simple. Make sure everyone has health care, education and birth control. Not the exact opposite.

AMEN to this!
Lift him up, Lift him up. Mr. President, we will always lift you up knowing that our lifting will enable you to lift up those who are not able for whatever reason to make the lift themselves. That is what a decent, caring, loving, thoughtful, and compassionate nation does.
Thank you for continuing to inspire each of us to do our best to help you go to the Oval Office each day thinking about us, making decisions that will make life a little better for us, and doing it all in the face of forces of oppositional evils. But we will prevail because goodness of heart has the greater and more decent cause in our space. We will make it happen because it is the right thing to do. Saving a life is a great deposit to make in ones account of rightness for all. Just is the right thing to do. Just is good to be on the right side of history. Honored to be a part of your legacy, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President for caring and doing the right thing.
Good night our beautiful Chips and TOD family. I love you all so dearly. We will make this happen.HZ
