    And here’s to all the immigrant in the US.

    Posting this again, my first #pwned tweet:

    P.S. - MSM curiously uninterested in POTUS and FLOTUS lunch — when was the last time a sitting President and his wife sat down for lunch at a local DC restaurant? Either the MSM is jaded or they understood they were #pwned and chose not to report it.

    What a lovely night! Our PBO lifts us up and AMK dips a toe back into the TOD pool! Yay!!

    Flipped on MSNBC briefly for the repeat of the UP slot because the PBO speech was going to air again. Heard Chris and Rachel intro the speech by crediting the folks who heckled PBO about immigration (smhacattv)* I couldn’t change the channel fast enough. Came back to catch the end of PBO speaking. After the speech, Chris introduced a woman he credited with, “Coining the term ‘Deporter in Chief'” Clicked off immediately and never went back. *by the way, “smhacattv” = “shaking my head and cussing at the TV” :-)

    Kasai, if you are lurking tonight, I can’t help but think of that woman whose door you knocked on when you were doing GOTV who called PBO “Deporter in Chief” and said she wasn’t voting due to that BS. I hope she is smart enough to feel foolish tonight.

    The thing is, PBO is lifting up the people in this country and bringing them kicking and screaming into the 21st century whether they realize it or not. I am so grateful he is here and that I am here to witness it.

    Have a lovely night TOD

    Scripture says, “I will make your enemies your footstool.”
    It is truly evident tonight and days to come when your heart is righteous good things will follow.

    Mr. President, thank you for standing up for humanity tonight.
    There are so many people who lives will never be the same because of your heart-felt dedication and desire to make a difference by doing what is right. I have listened to this speech twice and read it once every line tugs at my heart and makes me so proud to know that you are the President of these United States.

    It is an honor and privilege to go to bed and wake up knowing that you are the Commander In Chief.
    I am grateful. I celebrate with my neighbors, friends and fellow human beings who can come out of the dark and no longer fear to just be respected. I will never forget this speech among other speeches and those yet to come from this remarkable, caring humble man who simply cares about others and holding this country to the truths it purports to stand for…….justice for all.
    Am I my brother’s/ sister’s keeper?
    Hell yes, I am!

      Good night, Mr. Bobfr,
      I just retweeted this.
      It brought to mind the line of the President’s speech about (paraphrasing) Are we a country that tears the children out of the arms of their mothers?
      For a moment I said, “Yes.” I thought about the mothers and fathers who were torn away from their children during slavery. I thought about the children who are separated from their parents who go off to fight wars for this country and GOP block funds to help heal them physically and mentally.
      Peace overshadowed all of that knowing President Obama knows and cares.
      Rest, Mr. Bobfr. We need you and everyone here.

    Mr. Bobfr,
    Thank you.
    All that you do here it is the least that I can do.
    Too grateful to even go to sleep.

    I just cannot believe this is happening in my lifetime.
    At times I feel I do not deserve this and then I feel I waited all my life for this.
    How can you explain a sense of purpose and peace at the same time.
    This is how I feel having President Obama in the WH.
    Is this what it feels like to being human?
    Grateful all the time. It is such a humbling experience.
    Thank you for being here.

      Mike Nichols (born Mikhail Igor Peschkowsky; November 6, 2025 – November 19, 2025) was a German-born American film and theatre director, producer, actor and comedian. He began his career in the 1950s with the improv troupe, the Compass Players, predecessor of the Second City in Chicago and as one half of the comedy duo Nichols and May, along with Elaine May. May was also in the Compass. In 1968 he won the Academy Award for Best Director for the film The Graduate. His other films include Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Catch-22, Carnal Knowledge, Silkwood, Working Girl, The Birdcage, Closer, Charlie Wilson’s War (his final picture), and the TV mini-series Angels in America. He also staged the original theatrical productions of Barefoot in the Park, Luv, The Odd Couple and Spamalot.

      Nichols was one of a small group of people who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award. His other honors included the Lincoln Center Gala Tribute in 1999, the National Medal of Arts in 2001,[1] the Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 and the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2010.

      Mike Nichols was born Mikhail Pavlovich Peschkowsky[2] in Berlin, Germany, the son of Brigitte (née Landauer) and Pavel Peschkowsky, a physician.[2][3] His father was born in Vienna, Austria, to a Russian Jewish immigrant family. Nichols’ father’s family had been wealthy and lived in Siberia, leaving after the Russian Revolution, and settling in Germany around 1920.[2] Nichols’ mother’s family were German Jews.[2] His maternal grandparents were anarchist Gustav Landauer and author Hedwig Lachmann. Nichols is a third cousin twice removed of scientist Albert Einstein, through Nichols’ mother.[2]

      In April 1939, when the Nazis were arresting Jews in Berlin, seven-year-old Mikhail and his three-year-old brother Robert were sent alone to the United States to meet up with their father, who had fled months earlier. His mother eventually joined the family, escaping through Italy in 1940.[4] The family moved to New York City on April 28, 1939.[2][5] His father, whose original Russian name was Pavel Nikolaevich Peschkowsky, changed his name to Paul Nichols, Nichols derived from his Russian patronymic, and set up a successful medical practice in Manhattan, enabling the family to live near Central Park.[6][7]

      Nichols became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1944 and attended public elementary school in Manhattan (PS 87).[8] After graduating from the Walden School, a private progressive school on Central Park West, Nichols briefly attended New York University before dropping out. In 1950, he enrolled in the pre-med program at the University of Chicago.[7]

      While attending the University of Chicago in the 1950s, Nichols began skipping class to attend theatrical activities. Nichols first met Elaine May at this time when she criticized his acting in a performance of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie. At the University, Nichols made his theatrical debut as a director with a performance of William Butler Yeats’ Purgatory.[7] Also there he met Susan Sontag (then known as Susan Rosenblatt), who considered Nichols her “best friend.” [9] In 1954, Nichols dropped out of the University of Chicago and moved back to New York City, where he was accepted into the Actors Studio and studied under Lee Strasberg….

    They needed an airport to make HIM and THEM feel worthwhile.
    “Well”…….. he never won an Emmy award for trying to act.
    Although, he certainly deserved one for trying to act as president.
    If I heard him say “Well” one more time…….

    i haven’t seen a lot of these stories yet, but there should be many in the coming days.

    ‘ HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - “You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. That’s what this deal is.”

    President Obama used those words in announcing his executive orders on immigration Thursday. Those orders would affect millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., including an estimated 30,000 in Hawaii.

    “For a lot of really, really good people with U.S. citizen spouses and U.S. citizen children, there’s nothing for them,” said Honolulu immigration attorney Clare Hanusz.

    But that has changed for some of them with President Obama’s announcement. Hanusz said it may not lead to citizenship, but it stops deportations, which are often traumatic for families. ‘

      Brought a tear to my eye.

      Canadians are amazing, generous people.

      And Mexicans are as just as generous, if they weren’t treated by Americans as the scum of the earth.

      It’s been a long time since I was there, but 30 years ago, but Mexican vendors in border cities like China hawk enticed Chinese tourists in Chinese.

      The stranglehold and unspeakable violence by the Mexican drug wars is appalling and happening on our border. The US should be helping Mexico as much as possible to reward Mexico and its people in their effort to purge these heartless criminals from the ranks of Mexican officials and law enforcement.

      Thanks for posting.

    Yet More big and good news.
    NY Times reporting this morning that in addition to the 6 recent releases—-1 last week and 5 yesterday—11 more Guantanamo detainees will be leaving the island prison very shortly.
    Chuck Hagel has given Congress the appropriate notice so in a week or two 11 fewer+6 already departed…
    President Obama is working his way through his list towards a better USA.
    I love Our President and am I cheering him every step of the way.
