Hey Bob, congrats on First!
Nice to see you in first place, Bobfr!
Thank you Gail and Judith :)
Congrats Bob!
:)
Uno?
That New Olive Garden is in my neighborhood. But the CEO is some kind of RW jerk, isn’t he?
Hadn’t heard about the CEO. But this reminds me of when the Sopranos TV show was popular and an acquaintance asked me, “Aren’t you offended by the portrayal of Italian Americans in the Sopranos?” (I am half Italian). I responded, “No, the Sopranos doesn’t offend me; the Olive Garden commercial that shows the guy saying the food is just like his Italian grandmother used to make - that offends me.” :-)
I think he was one of the CEO’s griping about ACA, minimum wage, etc.
Ahhh! Even more reason not to give them my money.
170 new jobs is good for the neighborhood. This has been a vacant lot (right off the expressway) as long as I can remember. So I’m a tad torn.
Yeah, I understand that. You don’t want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. A restaurant going into a long-time vacant lot is just one more sign that PBO’s relentless efforts to bring back our economy are finally paying off.
Interesting how easy it is to be ideologically pure when it doesn’t touch you personally. This is a good thing for the neighborhood, so I am weighing my actions. I’m sure Mr. 57 and I will eat there a few times.
I am torn too 57. When an Olive Garden was opened in Inglewood, CA I was glad because all the employees were AA and the community really needed a decent restaurant in the area. There was only one sit down restaurant until an Olive Garden and Chili’s was opened. These restaurants stay busy and keep dollars in the neighborhood. The middle class families would have to drive to neighboring non-minority areas for a decent sit down restaurant.
Amen to that, MadameSoph! My Italian grandmother made the best EVERYTHING because it was made with such care and love….and her wonderful Nana hands:)
I know, huh? I’m pretty sure my love and respect for food and cooking came down from my great grandmother and my grandmother who learned all of her wonderful recipes.
First Lady Michelle Obama will be going back to Wisconsin to campaign for Mary Burke. She will be going to Madison Wisconsin October 7th.

LL’s thoughts about oil prices from earlier thread:
“A thought about oil prices crashing.
Perhaps this has been coordinated between the Arab states and the WH to take money away from ISIL. Part of the reason oil prices are nosediving is because of increased production from OPEC.”

Hello TOD family. I have been lurking faithfully, doing more listening and thinking these days rather than commenting. But I rejoice with you all with the good news, pray and sorrow with you when the news is not so good and give thanks always for this place. <3 Love you guys.
Hi Paulita!
Glad you’re with us! Love you back!
Hi Dudette. I was sorry to hear about your aunt. I’ve been keeping you in prayer and I’m sure your family appreciates all you do for them as your TOD family appreciates what you do for us. Keep the Faith! :)
Me too, Dudette. I was thinking about you while you were away and sending light and love to you, your family and your aunt as she makes her journey. Hoping the veil between the worlds is parted so that you and your aunt and other loved ones can comfort each other with the knowledge that each is o.k. exactly where they are.
I’m sorry too Dudette. Agree with Paulita completely about TOD.
THE PIERCE(Charles) has spoken on the Secret Service debacle. I can’t even describe how intense it is. A must read, if you haven’t already.
Hello TOD Family. I did some phone banking for the DEM party this past weekend to remind registered Dems to vote Nov 4th. The local DEM office had us calling folks in our area who were newly registered and had last voted in 2012. The people were all ages from 90’s to mid-20’s. I called about 80 people and spoke to 10 but left voice messages for most of them. Some of the older women appear to have changed registrations to Democrat, I can’t believe these women never voted before. I called this lady who lives in a “red” area of SoCal and I think it was either her husband or boyfriend who answered. He asked why I was calling and I told him to remind her to vote and to vote for Gov. Jerry Brown. He got so mad and said he “hated Democrats” and to not call anymore. She fortunately had a mobile number so I called and left her a voice message to vote in Nov and to support Gov. Brown. This is not the first time I called a spouse or girlfriend and the male insisted I got the wrong number because “they” were Republicans. I got this a lot during the 2008 & 2012 presidential election making calls for OFA, GOTV for PBO. Many women changed their registrations in secret from their republican husbands to vote Democratic. I have a hope that women, even republican women will come out to vote against the GOP.
That’s interesting jojo, The results of the Mississippi vote against the personhood bill showed a phenomenon that I think continues to be true. I think a lot of married women who get polled or called on the phone say one thing in front of their conservative husbands, and then when they get in the voting booth, vote their true feelings about birth control, etc.
This is exactly why we don’t leave voicemail messages. We don’t want to remind the Republican/Libertarian in the house, just the Progressive.
We were told to leave voice messages though…..after that encounter if someone answered the phone and it was not the person I was calling, I just said I would call back and not say who I was or what it was for……
Hi JoJo - yes, that’s what I do if I don’t get the person on my list.
I never leave a voice mail message either. I want a chance to convince if needed and at all possible. And figure those messages just get erased anyway, a waste of time.
Thank you for making those calls!!!!
I have friends who live in this area. They have been under lockdown a few times, schools were closed. Tons of law enforcement, FBI, helicopters.
I’m an idiot: Here’s the tweet:
Another anti-government Libertarian with a bullshit axe to grind that involves killing and destroying lives and property.
How is this not “terror”, hopefruit. This has been going on for weeks. My friend’s husband is afraid to get on the roof and clean his chimney - doesn’t know if he’ll get shot by the police or the madman. Is this any way to live?

A DOMESTIC TERRORIST
Breaking News: CDC to announce diagnosis of first Ebola case in U.S.
http://www.politico.com/
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will announce this afternoon that the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States. The agency will hold a media briefing at 5:30 p.m. EDT. It will include three health officials from Texas, suggesting that the state is where this case has been identified. No other details have been released.
“Texas patient confirmed as first Ebola case diagnosed in US”
http://news.yahoo.com/texas-patient-confirmed-as-first-ebola-case-diagnosed-in-us-205031312.html
——
DALLAS – A Texas man just back from West Africa has been confirmed as having the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the U.S.
Authorities with the Centers for Disease Control revealed the finding Tuesday, a day after the unidentified patient arrived at a Dallas hospital with suspicious symptoms.
…..if it spreads in TX due to not expanding the ACA that will be something….
……and why is the GOP arm of the SCOTUS five justices doing whatever they can to make it difficult for minorities to vote on behalf of their party.
GA everyone.
Anyone seen or heard this anywhere else?

If true, the SS needs a complete overhaul
Like WaPo’s article, this one cites “unnamed sources,” which the rest of the DC Beltway will run with as if it’s the gospel truth.
HF2 posits that GOP/Secret Service are working in tandem to prove that “government doesn’t work,” and this article only serves to confirm that theory. Washington Examiner is a Breitbart-like RW rag.
what is an ” unauthorized fed ?”
Re; PBO low poll numbers….Just a question for progressives who don’t back the president…What would you have had without him? I fail to understand how people think.
PBO does not have “low poll numbers.” First of all, PBO has the highest approvals of any incumbent politician right now (and that’s not factoring the rigged and excessive polls, jacked up samples designed to bring down his numbers).
And when you take all of those into account, PBO’s true approvals probably are about 10pts higher than is cited in those polls.
What you say fits with what I see and fits with 2012. I am just baffled by the dishonesty.
WTF
Didn’t read the article, but not only did the Secret Service not know the man was armed, which is beyond horrific … but this is a freakin’ FEDERAL BUILDING and he got in the building to go to work - no matter who was visiting - with A GUN?
Think I spotted that the guy with the gun was “a security contractor”? AN ARMED FEDERAL SECURITY CONTRACTOR PAID BY FEDERAL DOLLARS IN A FEDERAL BUILDING WITH A FREAKIN’ CRIMINAL RECORD?

Lord have mercy……The President needs our constant prayers everyone.
Prayers are fine, but what this President mostly needs is:
1. A competent SS operation, from top to bottom;
2. A congress whose primary goals are to help advance this country socially, and economically, and keep its citizens safe, not obstruct the President at every turn;
3. A media whose job is is to impart information objectively, not to promote one-sided propaganda fueled by RW memes, lies and hateful/racist rhetoric.
Excellent HF, That is exactly what is needed.. And to VOTE, vote vote vote!
#Bam #Bam #BammityBam!
OUTSTANDING comment HF!!!
Somebody please turn that into an image and tweet it! Pleeez!
100% with you, Hopefruit!
Agree, hf2.
I don’t know what the problem is with the Secret Service, whether they need more agents, better training or more effective and professional leadership, but there obviously is too much sloppiness, too many lapses. It is frightening, to say the least. I hold my breath every time I see PBO out in a crowd but always assumed that the SS knew what they were doing and he was protected to the utmost. With so many nuts and so much craziness all about these days, with the threat level against PBO so high, big changes are needed and needed now. These incidents are inexcusable. And I don’t care who appointed whom. I want PBO safe at all times—-every minute—-whatever it takes.
I want POTUS and his family safe at all times, every minute, whatever it takes.
THIS!!!!!!
Heard a little of Director Pierson’s responses to Congress earlier. She said budget cuts from the GOP-forced sequestor has left them 500 people short of optimal levels. Doesn’t excuse grossly negligient individual action by agents on White House and Presidential security detail, but certainly adds important context.
The GOP and their mouthpiece the US media has much to do with ANYTHING related to possible attacks on PBO. Pierce has it right

You know, I think this guy is far more dangerous to Americans than ebola (just MHO):
Bill R posted this at the tail end of the R&S thread today.
Anyone who watches cable news seen any mention of this (don’t have a TV)?
LVs = likely voters vs. RVs = registered voters
Watch the republicans try to find some new scandal, ANY faux scandal that they could taint President Obama with. For the moment, it’s the SS and they’re going to milk it as much as they can.

OMG—-the contractor with a gun on the elevator with PBO is an ex-con with 3 prior convictions of assault and battery. Unbelievable.
Who is leaking to this reporter ?
That’s concerning me too. The Hearing called by Izza has made me suspicious, including Chavitz.
Someone who wants the scalp of the SS director.
At least, these revelations may help restore the funding for the SS, and may make the SS people much more vigilant, hence make the President and his family safer.
LIVE NOW: CDC Press Conference On First U.S. Ebola Case - http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
Ok who is leaking all this shit To Wa Post?
She is putting PBO and his entire family at risk……shame on her
And tomorrow we will find out that the man in the elevator with the president was Batman .
And then the next day he was with the Joker.
And then the next day…
Wa Post holds it’s details for days and then drop drip.
Then on the fourth day Bo bit him in the balls…
I wonder how the ebola patient had contact with bodily fluids while in Liberia. I don’t believe he was a dr. or was working in health services there—-at least I have not heard that reported. Also wondering about people on his flight using same washroom.
<3 This!
Don’t you find it a bit *curious* that these media issues involving 1) Benghazi, 2)VA deaths and 3) Secret Service all involved an element of deliberate under-funding by the House GOP?
Don’t you find it strange that in all the cases, the focus has been less on the safety/well-being of the victims (or potential victims) and more on the
Adminstrators/Obama appointees/WH, with calls for someone to be fired, but no real concern about the overall performance of the agency and the structural and funding issues that caused the problem in the first place?
Don’t you find it curious that the same media & GOP tried the same thing with the NSA/CIA (Snowden and his leaks), HHS (ACA website glitches), and DOJ (Fast & Furious) but were unsuccessful?
Wow…it’s almost as if someone read my post and converted it into a nice tweet :)
Yay!!!
Unfortunately, HF, this has been the standard operating practices for the GOP, the House, and the media since President Obama was elected President, and the 2010 midterm elections gave republicans control of the house.
We can’t let the media drive these stories anymore. We should avoid attacking the current FBI Director. We have to wait, until we learn more facts, not those that are getting leaked by unnamed sources.
Over the next several weeks, I suspect the MSM will be coming out with a lot more drip drip drip reports of instances where the SS did not keep the President safe. Obviously, this is a strategy which has been planned by a few moles in SS, working in tandem with the GOP in congress and their friends in the media, so its no accident all these stories are coming out all at once - and the timing right before a major election is even more suspect.
Here’s my suggestion: Don’t take the media’s bait - this is an effort to distract people from the real issues of the day and the upcoming midterms. This is not about concern for the President’s safety - in fact, the opposite is true. The media’s true desire (like the GOP) to make people think that PBO has no control of his immediate surroundings and is an incompetent President who appoints the wrong people for important jobs.
I think we should stop retweeting these media reports, or posting them here. And stop with the “OMG!” on Twitter - you’re playing directly in the GOP/MSM’s hands with that reaction….Until I hear a VERIFIED report that the President (and/or his family members) has been injured or killed, I will ignore these media reports going forward.
I’m pretty sure that the President is well aware of all these things we’re now hearing about, and so I’m taking my cues from PBO. He’s going about his day, doing the people’s work. He and FLOTUS address the issues as they occur and I’m confident that they will take the necessary precautions to keep themselves and their girls safe. We cannot allow fear driven by the media and GOP to distract us and derail us.
I have also noticed the birth certificate is being regurgitated on Facebook. I made a comment in one post asking why we weren’t concerned that Ted Cruz was not born in the US. So very tired of all of this. Our President deserves much better.
Girl, you are on FIYAH!
THIS HF!!!!!
Notice in all of the MSM reports - there is absolutely ZERO mention of the sequestration’s devastating impact on SS funding - and how understaffed the SS has become as a direct result of the GOP’s sequester.
That tells me all I need to know about the MSM’s agenda.
We should tweet them like mad and shame them for not talking about this. Yes they have an agenda. But they are also extremely lazy. And find it more “exciting” to talk about lapses of security. Let’s not forget they’re addicted to sensationalism. They’re NEVER interested in analyzing the causes of problems. Not sexy to study budget numbers, and explain them to the public. Much more “exciting” to talk about a man with a gun getting near the president, to research his background etc. To be fair, that incident in the elevator is indeed “news”. They have to talk about it; the problem is, AS USUAL, that they don’t go deeper, especially if it would put the republicans in bad light.
Funny you should put your position this way, Hopef. I was thinking as I read the related comments on my way down the thread that those ‘breaking’ the stories could stop now as the point was made with the 2011 and 2014 stories. Those two used up my outrage so there is nothing more for these newly discovered ‘investigative’ reports to milk. I’m siding with you that ‘we should stop retweeting these media reports, or posting them here. And stop with the “OMG!” on Twitter’.
I absolutely refuse to retweet or post or even discuss this stuff at this point. It all has a feeling of propaganda at this point.
Exactly. I’m guessing the leakers, or framers, or whatevers didn’t take overkill into consideration.
Exactly, Donna - it certainly does.
“Don’t take the media’s bait – this is an effort to distract people from the real issues of the day and the upcoming midterms…” I agree hopefruit. Distract and Discourage is in full force for at least the next month.
As to the President’s safety, it has and always will be a concern. While we question the timing of the breaches that are being leaked — no matter if it was a lax in following procedures or a deliberate act of sabotage — the fact remains that it happened. The procedures in place to protect the First Family and the White House should have prevented these breaches — even if collusion was involved. The GOP may not be sincere in their concern for the President’s safety, but Democrats in the hearing also expressed outrage and concern. I believe that overall the SS agents are adept at their job and conscientious in carrying out their duty. But if there are any bad apples in the barrel, they need to be identified and removed.
As I stated earlier, the President is the one who will make a decision about his satisfaction with the job the SS and its leadership are doing. I agree, hopefruit, that we should take our cue from him. We know that neither he, nor the mom-in-chief are taking this lightly.
“As to the President’s safety, it has and always will be a concern”
Indeed swbluega. But my point is that none of these media reports we’re now hearing are out of concern for PBO’s safety. And retweeting them and posting them and reacting to them is not in any way shape or form going to enhance or improve the SS’s operations or increase PBO’s safety.
”
Oh yeah. We know that the media’s agenda has nothing to do with the President’s safety. All about someone(s) getting their moment of fame. And now that the awareness has been raised, I trust that those who *can* do something about it *are* doing something about it. And we can refocus on the things *we* can do something about….GOTV.
Another thing I wanted to add is that any media report/discussion of the SS situation that does NOT mention the effects of the GOP’s sequestration, de-funding and subsequent severe under-staffing of the SS, is not a serious/honest discussion.
Another example of the good things Atty. General Eric Holder has made significant differences:
http://www.denverpost.com/…/granted-clemency-billy-wheelo
She is toxic and a fraid
The soldiers just got there 2 days ago.
.
Plus…that person came here on Sept 20.th PBO announce the sending of troops on Sept 15-16th.
fraud !
America has come to the rescue. But even if the soldiers do a great job, it’s no realistic to think that they can have absolute control. Unless you completely close the borders of the countries affected. Or you perform blood tests on every single passenger who boards a plane in one of those countries.
I think there will be a few cases all around the world. The good news is that the majority of countries are well equipped to face that.
My big concern: ISIS must have had plenty of time to move those weapons in civilian areas, in schools, mosques, etc. They know that westerners have more ethics than them and wouldn’t dare bomb a school without warning.
Very good advice ….
True ….
And, a touch of humor …
While I feel good that people are standing up for their rights, my biggest concern, Bobfr, is how do you stop this ‘without losing face’ on either side?
The natural course of events of any revolution is that one side ‘loses face’ and frequently much more, VC, as you know.
The one act that might, just barely, allow both sides to save face is if GS & Pres Xi Jinping approved that the people of Hong Kong are allowed to vote for the list of candidates for CEO.
I doubt if he’ll do it. So, we now will have the opportunity to witness just how determined the people of Hong Kong are to change the course of history. They certainly have more leverage than the folk in Tiananmen Square had.
I missed the fact there was a viable list of candidates (separate from the one China approved)? I can’t see the government making a concession and saving face that way either, yet I can’t see an end apart from the TSquare-type. This is one of those times when I wouldn’t mind wishing away the hours between now and a workable resolution.
Tweety is blaming PBO for the ebola cuz he said It would likely never get to the US.
but…but….he said so…..
Oh course that Obama would be blame, I mean why did Obama make that guy go to western Africa? Poor pitiful Tweety.
Reminder…
Tim Gunn hosting panel on First Ladies’ fashion on you tube now…
So far I have heard that the Director of the SS was ” slammed ” ” ripped” and ” pummeled ” at the hearing today.
Sounds violent….someone needs to be arrested for battery.
Heard someone (?) on Tweety introduce the possibility that the ebola patient knew he was exposed in Liberia and came here purposely for the superior health care in dealing with this disease. Don’t know if this is irresponsible reporting or a real possibility.
It was some reporter from NBC…….he made that up.
It’s the end of the work day and in some parts of the world, the end of the day. I turned on teevee and due to the crazy news media is staying away from MSNBC and other news except here at TOD. I am watching Crimson Tide with my favs Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. I have watched this movie several times and just realized that the late James Gandolfini is in the movie. I did not have cable when Sopranos was on the air but I did see it in reruns. I really liked James Gandolfini as an actor and have watched several movies he was in before his passing.
OT: Yardarm gave us a list of historic facts and one was today was Deborah Kerr’s birthday and TMC has been playing many of her movies. A movie I never saw before was with Clark Gable and Deborah Kerr called “The Hucksters”. I love old movies and I am so excited when I see one I have never seen before and watched intently. I did not know my birthday was the day before Deborah Kerr’s.
