Good Morning Chips!
Moooooorning No Child, morning everyone!
GM Chips and TOD. Congrats on first Chips. :) :)
Thank you VERY much COS - happy Friday to ya! :-)
Congratulations, No Child!
Congrats CIC. Did you sleep well?
Morning Chips and TOD. I love Michelle Obama! She can do anything, and Jimmy Fallon gives her a great platform for promoting #Gimme5
Good morning TOD.
No child, I am so glad you posted this.
Today, The front page propaganda of the NY Times, in a piece written by former Cheney-ite, Peter Baker, digs up a so-called “expert” who declares that PBO has no foreign policy credit so if the Iran deal fails PBO has nothing.
Laughable. But important because it signals what the GOP will try to run on in 2016—foreign policy. Which in the RW view is that USA must be the Biggest Baddest Bully in the world.
Huff Po is telling the truth here. Good for them!!!!
Add to what the RW wants: war. War everywhere, regardless of costs at all levels, human and resources. The RW is the tool of the hardliners in Israel.
War. Profit-yielding War. It’s what they live for.
Very sad… very strange after such a flawless election.
Sounds suspicious. So sad that people can be cruel if this was done on purpose.
Welcome back Mr. SOS! You deserve some rest this weekend. Happy Easter.
Home is the hero!
I’d hope he could actually go home to his family to celebrate the Easter season. Kerry is a committed Catholic and I’m sure he’s like to be given the chance to observe Good Friday. I’ll bet it’s been a long time since he had a quiet moment with Theresa.
Welcome Back S.O.S Kerry. You did a great job.
:lol: brilliant
did that, didntya?
I don’t have that much confidence in my DIY skills.
I’ll send the grandbabe over - she’ll bounce on ANY bed - has no fear! Should test it out for you.

Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Friday morning. Congrats Ms. Chips on being first to open your own store for your lovely customers. :) :) :)
To all, I hope you have an absolutely outstanding Friday. TGIF <3 <3 <3
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. ✩ ✩ ✩
Morning. Yesterday was the kind of day that makes you want to put a big star on your calendar so you never forget it. Our President and SOS Kerry achieved the kind of historic turning point that would have been the stuff of legends in any other era. We are a divisive, twisted, cynical nation and only half of us will recognize this historic achievement for what it is, while the other half throws brickbats at it and tries to minimize it. We can’t shrug this one off and let the naysayers win. This time, we’ve got to be louder, smarter and more persistent in fighting back.
Peace loving people will agree with you. But don’t expect your sentiments to find an echo under the GOP leadership in Congress. These warmongers are planning all sorts of things to provoke a war. And they have a loyal ally: nut-an-YAHOO!
I know, NCLB, but the peace seekers represent the majority in this country and we need to be very loud in telling Congress that this time we won’t stand for their shenanigans.
:)
G’morning Chips, TOD, lurkers, everyone, and congrats NCLB on #1! Happy Friday everyone. :)
(Hopefruit, I wasn’t first. Ms. Chps was. Thank you anyway.)
Oops…my bad. Sorry chips!!
126 new jobs added in February.
I hope you’re missing three zeros, Hopefruit!! :-)
LOL…she meant 126,000
:-) I was thinking, ‘hmm, that jobs report is a touch disappointing’. Morning Don!!
Well now we know that President Obama does not in fact walk on water.
You lie!!!!
Does too! :) :)
Ha! That’s what happens when I post from my smartphone. LOL
I don’t even try any more Hopefruit, most of my efforts look like: “h73gldvlqtiltevjdlhve.”
What happened to your bed, Chips. Did you get it together, or, did you sleep on the couch?
Perfect toon. Thanks, NCLB
Thank you, Jackie. I love it too!
Me, three.
Good Morning, Everyone :)
PBO is doing in reality what the GOP can only dream of. Deep down they wonder how he does it. They know he is brilliant. They just can’t accept it. Their loss.
+ 1,000,000,000,000 Morning Africaaaaaaaaa!
Nope! The GOP would never want to achieve peace. They work for the war industry. They need a bad guy to promote war. Iran fit their scapegoat needs. They only know fear mongering.
Can you tweet that, Africa? Love it!
Test
All systems go!
Good West Coast Morning Chipsticks & TOD family. It’s Good Friday 😊
http://www.theguardian.com/world/julian-borger-global-security-blog/2015/apr/02/iran-nuclear-talks-negotiations-lausanne?CMP=share_btn_tw
Excellent narrative of the tough path to agreement.
Republican greed, hate and selfishness will be the downfall of us all. Good article that isn’t going to be news to many here.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/04/01/the-poor-are-treated-like-criminals-everywhere-even-at-the-grocery-store/
So what? Who is President now???
ODS!
Exactly africa. Knoller is being so stupid and arbitary. Who cares how much of the Utah vote that Obama and Romney received in the 2012 election - almost 4 years ago?!? Obama resoundingly won re-election and is almost at the end of his very successful 8-yr tenure ass US President!
LDS! :)
Exactly, NCLB. Who care? Romney is a Mormon and a majority Mormon state voted for him-big yawn.
If you recall, Mormons were praying, fasting during the elections because in their mind, their prophet RMoney was to ascent to the throne of the world, the WH.
This photo is the best answer to The Count, meta. Happy days for TOD.
Remind Mark Knoller that POTUS is the President of the United States. Last time I check Utah is a state, right?
Mitt’s home base…I am soooo surprised. PBO kicked his everywhere else….
As President Obama would say he is the President of all whether they voted for him or not. His actions of going to UT fit his words. I would call it brave!
not good jobs numbers… :(
HOWEVER I know that Obama will use this as a means to push forward jobs plans to help improve the economy. I swear though one flimsy report and the right is trying to seize anything to prove that Obama is a ‘failed’ president.GOP are truly the pathetic party.
Jeff, I had the same thought. But POTUS will call on Congress to re-focus on job growth and wage increase. If only Congress had ears…
One jobs report means nothing. Over the past several months the jobs numbers have beat expectations. You can’t expect every report to be the same, but the fact is that the economy is creating more jobs than before.
I know that. However it’s pretty funny to watch the republicans and thus they really have gotten more pathetic and desperate than ever. Their idea of a jobs bill is to push for more discrimination and anti-abortion laws.
there is reality, and there is wishful thinking. In no economy, job grows eternally.
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 4/2/15
Law for new mothers saved after shaming of Alabama legislator
Rachel Maddow tells the story of Alabama State Sen. Larry Stutts, a former doctor, who tried to repeal a law to help new mothers, Rose’s Law, that is named after one of his patients who died in his care. Stutts changed his mind amid widespread public outrage.
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/law-for-new-mothers-saved-legislator-shamed-422433347542
It was a good revelation. This is why I watch TRMS. She does investigative reporting.
Here’s Utah Congressman…
LOL. good one.
Happy Friday TODers!!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeya Chips!!
President Barack Hussein Obama!! Wow. Leaves me speechless every single time.
FLOTUS is the business!!
Good Morning BFF and TOD.
Gorgeous photo! Mooooooorning BFF!
President Monson remembers fondly his visit to the White House to present President Obama with his personal family history in 2009.
GM JER. That’s a good tweet. Thanks!
The White House Press Corps have all filed a formal complaint because they weren’t allowed access to this meeting. JACKALS.
hahahaha - who are they complaining to - the President sure doesn’t have any more ….. to give in relation to the WHPC
Best caption of the day! Thank you Chips.
should have added fu twitter.
Unfortunately….
Meanwhile…
I say, they and the nut-an-YAHOO! camp should blow themselves up together somewhere far from the rest of the world.
the nutters on both sides are unhappy. win/win.
Mornin’ Chips!! I loved the FLOTUS show with Jimmy Fallon! :) And that dress she wore, wow! That’s perfection. I wasn’t crazy about her clothes and hairstyle when she on her trip to Japan but she looked gorgeous last night. And damn, she can outperform Jimmy Fallon with her interpretive dance!
Good morning Forus50 and TOD. Watched FLOTUS last night with Jimmy Fallon and enjoyed it so much I watched it again this morning. I SL love her and our President.
forus50, As we love to say, we meaning this country is bless to have POTUS and FLOTUS. To just think of 2017 brings sadness to my heart. But I won’t think of it. It’s find not to agree with everything FLOTUS wear, what I always tell people I might not like that outfit she is wearing but I have such respect for the woman who is wearing it. I stayed up to watch FLOTUS last night and she was great as usual. I should make myself a Mom Dance video.
This is what would happen in reality…
The pictures are so clear. Thank you.
Oh, I know. The only thing that is not a great danger to the world according to nut-an-YAHOO! is WWIII.
A great article from Spandan on the Iran deal. Clear, concise, easy to read and send to doubters.
http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2015/4/2/breakthrough-bfd-president-obamas-diplomatic-triumph-with-iran
And I want Iran to recognize that the sky is blue.
I don’t think very many people care a bit what Netanyahu wants. He has made himself irrelevant by his crazed narcissistic behavior.
The danger he rails against is not real.
Bibi IS the danger.
Gooooood goooood gooood mooooorrninnnnnggg, Chips and TODville.
There’s a better chance for peace today because of PBO and his incredible team. Still feeling exhilarated by the deal!!
john McInsane wasted no time criticizing the deal and echoing Nutnyahoo’s comments.
I guess it’s 5 o’clock somewhere! Cheers to our Dan!

So Why are “Jobsreport” and “126,000 in March” trending on Twitter (when jobs report never trended in past months), and the Iran deal is NO LONGER trending?
We all know why hopefruit2, the jobs numbers were as good as before, and they want to tame down the talk of the Iran deal. So we will talk about the job numbers which weren’t so good.
weren’t as good as the last few months.
