- I don't have a question, just a very humble thank you. I just saw your post explaining Obama's recent executive order prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the workplace, and immediately teared up. Hi, I'm Janessa. I'm 17, and I'm lesbian. Sometimes the way our society orients around the topic of homosexuality is a bit frightening. It feels like something a high schooler shouldn't have to deal with. But this order gives me strength. So thank you, for this huge leap.

Thanks for heads up
Hi Almab!
Congrats! Happy Wednesday to you! Chips held on to the hem of my skirt as I was about to move forward, so I was sure she would be the one I see when I enter.
Yes, she does do that at times.
I see you.
You rotten spy, you!
Darn, the invisibility cloak didn’t work. I want a refund.
I invested in a system that sets off an alarm any time you respond to the Canadian Goose Woman. It’s working beautifully.
Hmm, we’ll have to figure out a way to get by the green eyed monster.
Hellooooo, Japa! Happy to see you, and read your earlier comments. Don’t I know our fearless leader is fearlessly capable of sabotaging my victory!
Hey VC! Hope you are having a great day.
I am now! I have been backing up and clearing and changing passwords at my different entry points to social media. I THINK I’m all done now, Alma-b.
Doncha hate having to do that every so often?
Although this is my first time, Alma-b, I do hate it! I am a professional procrastinator by trade; however my laptop fell unconscious so I had no choice but to take it for a diagnosis. In other words, I had no choice but to clean it up, among other things.
Hey y’all
Hellooooooooooooo Mellesia!
furst.
turty furst moar lik
Huh, DannyO! Nice to see you too young fella - it’s been a while!!
smh
Hello, Amk! Nice to see you; not so nice to realize that my hopes your sister would straighten out your English vocab hasn’t materialized.
Did I miss the naming ceremony for the puppies? Are they all going to reside with you?
No names yet. Too much of partisanship was displayed. Sis unit leaving home day after. Then I will show my bt colors and name them tom, dick and harry … or Andy, Mikey and Kerry,
Naming by committee - always perilous.
Yes, they will reside with us …. till they start acting up.

Okay I think that’s a first … chanting “we love you” ~ well done KC crowd :)
You’re hearing things. PBO is wildly unpopular distant aloof, presidency is over etc. Fox News and Chuck Todd told me. That’s why he’s trying to get himself impeached.
well it’s true I have to have a hearing test on Friday… so perhaps I “mis”heard the crowd ;)
You probably misunderestimated what you misheard. I looked it up on the Googles. Couldn’t tell you which one.
lol,eggzackly :)
Yes. I’m with you. Ha. That’s why we’re all “covering” for the President, screaming (and meaning) “We love you” any time he talks. (Well, mostly to confuse Chuckie and his gang of mongrels.)
I needed my tissuebox at that point, sherijr
Yep it was a pretty awesome response from those folks- and POTUS deserves that love.
Another media blackout?
I have come to conclusion, that the media is so in favor of the GOP bc?
They really really want those impeachment hearings for ratings.
And the only way they get them is if GOP wins senate .
Except, even if GOP wins the Senate, they still won’t be able to get rid of him. No way they can get 67 votes to convict. And it will doom them even more in 2016.
Of course, I don’t think there is any way they can win the Senate. At best they will pick up 3 seats, and probably not that many.
And they want to keep wasting money that would otherwise have to go to helping people!
Yesterday I saw a map showing where the most people are in the greatest debt and delinquent on their payments. Not surprisingly, the red states seem to have the most. Of course these are the same people, along with their representatives, who scream the loudest about the government’s debt being out of control, even thoguh the US is not delinquent on any of its debt payments.
^5. This.
Time for WestWingReport to issue another tweet letting us know that people spontaneously yell “We love you!!!” to Presidents even when they hate them…
:lol: You’re too much Hopefruit!!!!!
yes. We LOVE you.
Love that comment! Love our President so much!
Translation: vote out the bums in November, I’ll get shit done, and the next president (a democrat) will continue what I’ve started without having to deal with these twits! Evah! You hear me? Don’t boo, vote!
OK, IT’S HAMMER TIME.
Oh! Here I am, way back there on R&S, glad I found meself!
POTUS continues to stimulate the economy this way - because now folks will purposely patronize this establishment simply to say they went to the same locale that the President supported.
Isn’t “hate” wonderful! They’ll make sure to eat where the guy they “hate” ate! Uh-huh, looking at you Chucky!
welp I just love him.
It does my heart good to hear the “love” that he receives from all over the US
INDEED…………………IT MAKES MY HEART HAPPY!
Mine too Sue! :-)
I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT……HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY,,,MR, PRESIDENT!
President Obama looking vibrant, full of energy and speaking truth. Not holding back. “It ain’t right.”
He really did Vicki, in a fantastic, upbeat mood today, spring in that step!
He was definitely in a great mood! Loved the speech. He’s really dishing it out.
I must be tired, or something. Actually cried when PBO waved good-bye and everyone waved bye back. Love all the love.
PBO puts the Heart back in the Heartland! He reminds people how to feel good again.
HOT DAMN….President Obama was on fire!
Faaaaaaantastic tweeting Nerdy!! LOVED how he handled the heckler!!
Classic move. He handles them so brilliantly all the time.
Sorry, NW, couldn’t hear what the heckler said. Same old BS?
Yelling about Israel and calling the President unchristian.
NW. I will never understand those who call themselves Christians but have no problems with the oppression of a people. It is sick. Glad POTUS responded the way he did with incredulity. Yea okay, thanks for the prayer…next.
Great Tweets!!!
Thanks and thanks also for the retweets, PF.
:-D
Damn, all those disappointed folks making all that noise and hollering at the Tyrant. :-) My eyes have just lied to me if hatas were to be believed. Makes me ready for another Barack Obama campaign.
Sounds like you’re fired up and ready to go, eh? Ha! Aren’t we all. Doesn’t that have a nice sound to it, too: “another Barack Obama campaign.” I personally consider 2014 and then 2016 as campaigning for Barack Obama, so we can help him get his goals accomplished and not overturned this decade. Can’t wait to give him more victories! Can’t wait to see Democrats nab the White House and Congress for the next 30 years. Fired up!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GM/Afternoon Jacquelineoboomer and Tnmtngirl. Both of you are so right on. I told my friends during the 2008 and 2012 campaigns that we keep the WH and Congress for the next 30 years.
Fired Up, I am!!! Let us move Together.HZ
tweet that Jackie..
Thank you, NW! Love your tweets.
“By the way, you know who’s paying for the suit they’re going to file?” POTUS smiles and points to the audience: “You.”
yep. GOP = fiscal irresponsibility
yep. Bibi’s annihilation of the people in Gaza ain’t right. US Taxpayers should not fund Bibi’s wars.
Congress should use the money to help raise the minimum wage
IMO, they should all be on minimum wage, millionaires club that they are now.
All of those Rand Paulites need to take a look at his actual voting record while he is out there campaigning on the NSA.
Thank you so much for these tweets, NW, since I missed it all (and it’s still all about me)!
:-) Jacqueline, if you forward to about six minutes in the top video in the post, you’ll hear it all.
Thanks, Chips - I shall! Love that man.
LOL. As you wish, Ms. J’OB.
<3
New?! Where has he been?!
Talk about out of touch!!!!
I’m just hoping he’s been sarcastic, Bob, otherwise it simply proves he never actually listens to the President’s speeches - yet gets paid a handsome sum to analyze them.
I suspect he has listened to very few of President Obama’s speeches, Chips.
Exactly!!!
I just further mocked him on Twitter.
I’m gobsmacked, 57!!
I’m going to mock him some more, and with a little more seriousness: it is obvious that he pontificates about PBO and never listens or watches him in action.
Outrageous.
Busted.
Thanks for setting him straight. I like EJ but for crying out loud pay attention.
Last time he wasn’t paying attention he tweeted something like older Americans aren’t in the Obama column. I reminded him there are lots of us baby boomers “for” the President, and that I was calling out those generic statements. He of course said he was also a boomer and yada yada yada statistics and other crap. I like him, too, when he’s paying attention. Otherwise, not so much.
Perrrrrrrrrrrrfect!!!
Thanks for pointing him out to all of us, Chips!
Mrs. O’Boomer thanks for letting EJ know that this slogan started way back during the campaign. It is so not new. :)
Poor guy isn’t paying attention, as we are! :)
This response sums it up for me….
Just because HE never heard does not mean it’s NEW. I bet he can recall ALL Mitt Romney’s slogans
Great tweets, ut.
‘appy, ‘appy, the man is dishing out the truth.
GM, TOD family and our beautiful Chips. I love our President. Trust me, he will continue to fight back for all of the people of America, but he will not tolerate the disrespect. That stuff is getting old. He has work to do, and he will continue to stay focus and get it done. PBO knows that there are still people out here who has his back, and he will keep being the decent, firm, and disciplined man that he is in doing his job.
Have a wonderful Wednesday TOD family. Now a little tea and toast with some coconut jam on it for me before my wonderful brother checks in on me. Delicious.. Beautiful goodness going forth for our POTUS and his administration. HZ
coconut jam HZ? I didn’t know that existed. Do you have a recipe for that or did you purchase at a store?
Can you tell I am a cononutaholic?
I want some too. I love anything with coconut in it. Since I am gluten free I use coconut flour. I think I will google and see if I can find a recipe.
((((HZ))). Have a wonderful visit with your brother and keep cool it’s gonna be a scorcher in SoCal.
P.S. where can I get coconut jam?
Delicious tweets, NW. Thank you.
Don’t be fooled. If an election were held today Mitt Romney would win. Granted we don’t have Presidential elections in July or two years after we just had one but no matter. Romney would win.
No, he won’t.
I believe it was snark. :)
;)
What?!?!
LOL!! And I agree.
There were endless rude possibilities here Derbingle, eg incorporating ‘dick’ and ‘Chuck Todd’, but I opted to behave. :cool:
:D :D :D :D
Mercy…: :-O
:lol:
Yes, where is that fig leaf when you need it? :)
So, so funny. Tell me that isn’t a Pete Souza shot? Please. Ha ha ha.
Oh Myyy as Takei would say ;)
Well, you really can’t put a fig leaf over a copy of Michelangelo’s state of David. Just isn’t done.
Late to this, but hoping you’ll see — think I’ll respond via twitter too. ;)
No “fig leaf” (a smiley face with the surprised eyes) in this tweet like the one you tweeted when the President was in the Philippines and a girl in a red dress was being hoisted toward PBO — @ericwolfson photoshopped PBO’s gesture onto the Sistine chapel painting where God is bequeathing life to Adam.
Oh crikey, I’d forgotten Eric’s photoshop, arapaho415!!!! :-)
The rage is unbelievable. I’ve never seen an angrier crowd. Look at the way the ignore him by trying to shake his hand and take pictures.
Look at those faces Derbingle, they just scream ‘INPEECH!1!1!’
On the House Floor now, the Dems are putting on the record all of the H.R. Bills that can and should be voted on instead of this “indecent attack of this lawsuit against PBO.” HZ
Excellent news, HZ!! Thank you!!
I choose to believe in our humanity and that all people (Israel/not Bibi and team) will continue to speak out against this travesty.
I also am holding on to hope that our Congress will take a step back and decide not to fund Bibi’s wars using tax payer dollars.
Ukraine says the rebels are placing land mines around the crash site.
I wish those bums would stand up and show some respect.
He’s looking down at them, Chips! :)
Ha, and he’s right too Gazelle!
knowing POTUS he probably told them to stay seated. He is just like that.
I agree. I think I prefer people to stay put if PBO happens upon them. Its like when an emergency vehicle…if you can’t pull over just stay put until they pass.
