A must listen to interview. Marc was great. He asked very relevant questions and covered an interesting breadth of topics. President Obama was fantastic. He doesnât have to run his answers through pollsters, a communication team, a PR firm, etc., He is always refreshingly honest because he speaks from the heart. A hallmark of a true leader

Obama is correct. Racism is more than "nigger." It is the boldness w/ which the confederate flag still flies & casual police violence, too.
—
deray mckesson (@deray) June 22, 2025Some folks want "nigger" to be the measure of racism, as Obama noted. Because this would allow them to "not be racist" by not saying it.

Howâs my girl!? Congrats, GGail!!
Hey girl, listen DF, this weekend I discovered just how damn HOT it gets in the San Gabriel Valley. I began sweating in places…đđ
btw - has your husband returned home yet?
Great post, Nerdy! GA TOD
Me?
woosh, I am so glad I wasnât furst again.

Some white folks better put their big boy/girl pants on. Truth is going to rain down! Canât rain down soon enough!

POTUS just turned that word right back at those racists, hit their nuts super hard! Bravo, Mr. President!
Two big thumbs up, Nerdy Wonka, for your excellent tweets.
^5..^5………………………GREAT JOB NERDY….YOU GO PBO!…FLAG DOWN!………….:)..THE DAY IS GETTING TO BE MORE ENCOURAGING!
Outstanding tweets, thank you sooooooooooooo much Nerdy!
Hey Chips! Be a sweetie please and check your Inbox for a email request from me. Thanks!
Will do!!!!!
Mission complete!!!
Will you marry me? (now donât tell anyone)
Sherriff FruitFly is so real with his tweets! HA!
You thought Bibi and the Isreali government was sincere during the recent elections? Think again!
Congrats Gail
Well done, NW!!
Thanks Bob!
I really like this tweet. Thank you for all that you do Bob!
Thank you, bobfr. We wouldnât think this has to be said.
Thank you Gail and MP.
They better get that damn rag off that pole and out of sight, immediately.
Why canât ‘Obamaâ just be an angry black man? Why does he have to go on being positively brilliant and centered, with his heart and his mind connected? This is the deep question whitey is asking, really. They are sure they could handle an ‘angry black manâ, but this? Really now, he is showing them all a dimension of reality they had no idea existed. God Bless and Hold in His Heart, all those who have given their lives to bring our sad country to this place of possible hope and change. We are not there, but maybe, maybe, maybe, the ship is turning.
Well said, Pamela. I hope and pray that this sad, enormous, leaking ship is finally turning. Itâs about time.
Rafael Cruz, Sen. Ted Cruzâs (R-TX) father, on Saturday said that northeastern Jews and Catholics put their allegiance to the Democratic Party ahead of their religion.
âUnfortunately, in the northeast, the Jews are Democrats first and Jews second,â he said at an event on Saturday held by the Palm Beach County Tea Party. âThis is what has happened to a great many in the Catholic church. They are Democrats first and Catholics second.â
Rafael Cruz said that Americans âneed to put principle above tradition.â
âThere are people voting Democrat because, âMy grandfather or my father voted Democrat.â Let me tell you something. The Democratic party today is not the Democratic party of John Kennedy. John Kennedy would be a Republican today,â he said.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/rafael-cruz-jews-catholics-democrats
Cruz and his son are Dominionists
Dominionism : is a political and religious philosophy that seeks to make the United States government a Christian theocracy.
talking out his ass, as usual. #youcruzyoulose
The father Cruz is as nutty as his son. With half this country voting reflexively R, no matter how disastrous the consequences to themselves, he has to nerve to talk about Democrats. The Democratic Party for all of itâs egregious flaws is closer to the party of John Kennedy than the Republicans are to Dwight Eisenhower. JFK would recognize his party. Ike would bow his head in shame. Even Ronald Reagan would be considered “too liberal” to win a primary in todayâs GOP.
I just had a mental image of Nikki Haleyâs giving her press conference, ending it, and olâ Lindsay Graham rushing up the state house steps to an empty platform saying “Wait for me! Damn that Obama! Iâm a leader!”
Comedy Central needs you as a writer, JOâB!!
I second this emotion!!
Or maybe Marvel? Ha.
LOL…
Next up on CNN : Cornel West….
hahahaaaa
Ahem. Boom.
VP Biden will also be there.
Wow, this is a BFD
Oh how emotional that will be.
WOW! Thanks LL.
ohhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy goooooodnesssss……
Both POTUS and VPOTUS will be in Charleston, SC this Friday.
Iâm really glad for this. It is an other teachable moment.
I wrote him this morning and asked that he do this very thing. The right thing. Iâm pretty sure that he got A LOT of emails just like mine!!

Great pictures of interview at
Marcmeetsobama.com !!!
I have grinned so much listening to this interview that I have sprained my face.
This Obama fella is touched with magic.
Simply amazing with his calm, cool, laid-back selfđ
eve, I found myself smiling while listening too. I especially enjoyed hearing PBO chuckle or laugh. I appreciate the fact that Marc was a great interviewer, he lobbed the question out and let PBO answer how he wanted to. In the beginning before PBO arrived, hearing Marc talk was making me excited and nervous for him, but he did really well - they both did.
btw eve, howâs Chris doing? Send him our love and prayers are still going up so blessing will rain down {{{hugs}}}
He is doing better every day! Thanks for asking
Wonderful
Glad to hear that! You continue in my prayers.
And Now, an apology? Why? I thought he was doing a Provocative MTP to make folks uncomfortable? Liar! NBC needs to either cancel MTP or get Brian Williams to moderate the show, period.
Oops, that is the wrong link. So sorry.
Hereâs the the correct link.
If I have to MAKE you say it, I donât believe YOU
Todd should just resign
Sorry but apologizes on Twitter is not an apology.
What an loser this guy is.
This is good, it means there was a whole lot of push back on the Toad.
I would love it if one of you tweeters started a #YouAreHome hashtag for Deray to counter the #GoHomeDeray hashtag which was started by racists. I donât tweet so just a suggestion to counteract some ugliness directed at this great activist.
Sen Tim Scott is finally following Nikki and Lindsey to call for the Confederate flag to come down……what at idiot. He had previously said just in the last few hours that the Murdered 9 needed burial before his views would be known…….
May God bless Stephen Colbert with continue success in his new endeavor.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I AM SO THRILLED THAT HE IS GOING TO DELIVER THE EULOGY…NONE BETTER….IâLL BE WATCHING FOR THE BROADCAST SCHEDULE!
Excellent!
VP Joseph Robinette Biden II, is one incredible Soul. Walking the earth with us, arm-in-arm with President Barack Hussein Obama, at a time the entire world needs them both. How blessed are we? This man, this strong, caring, genuinely kind man, who buried his eldest son only two weeks ago, has the fortitude to attend a funeral of this massive proportion. In my deepest, strongest prayer, I will ask that he be continually blessed in the Light of God. May his strength be an example to those who see only the superficial elements of life, may they seek to emulate his character for the good of all.
MP, I agree with every word about our beloved VP. Two of the worldâs most extraordinary and caring men will be going to the funeral services on Friday.
Beautiful MP and I join you in asking for strength for both of these awesome men.
This is how far this is going…….it is upon to make Racists Uncomfortable…….Chuck Todd are you effing listen?
gee.
BYE Dir Comey
I just donât know what to say.
yep.
Watching Nikkiâs presser. Sheâs smiling like a Cheshire Cat, dreaming of using this as a springboard to POTUS/VPOTUS…
…and her little two sides, false equivalence is pure unadlterated bulls#*t
unadulterated
CNN is already talking about it.
” She just jumped to the top of everyoneâs VP List. ”
How pathetic. There is something seriously wrong with these pundits brains.. they need to seek help…asap
Why would she jump to anyoneâs VP list? Sheâs doing what should have been done a long time ago. That racist flag shouldnât be on any stateâs public property. She doesnât get a cookie for doing the right thing here — especially when it appears sheâs only doing it after protests and the murder of 9 churchgoers.
PKayden,
I agree with you about Nikki Haley doing one right thing and everyone fawns praise all over them, just like they did with Romney. Chris Matthews is an example of that.
Cute interview with the Splash Brothers (Steph & Klay) and their Fathers.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2502557-stephen-curry-klay-thompson-and-fathers-discuss-warriors-winning-championship
Iâm not sure I can take the hurt.
Thatâs unusual that both will be at the same event, I pray for lots and lots of SS protection.
Something else I have been meditating on lately: We must be in a tremendously blessed time of human experience. On this planet, at this time, we have Barack Obama and Joe Biden as a team of brothers on a Soul level; we have HH Dalai Lama, who travels tirelessly, teaching and illuminating wherever he is welcome (which is just about everywhere!), and now we have Pope Francis, who is dynamically tilting centuries of stifled indoctrination and skewed belief, standing up against millennia of repression by those who have taken the teaching of Christ into a dark and unnatural territory, far far far from where Christ Himself stood. All this, as we face the Holocene Extinction, or as my lady client said yesterday, “some call it the End Days”. And so many of us, joining on a mental level, giving from heart and soul awareness, bonded together to focus the Light of intelligent reason, standing beside and behind these men we are gifted to walk the earth with today. As I said, Just pondering.
Was it SC or SD the last state POTUS visited?
SC was the 49th State and the SD was the 50th POTUS visited.
Note folks……SD has a State Flag. The Confederate flag is Nothing but a Racist Flag, period.
Chipsticks: endless flowing glowing gratitude for this place and community. NerdyWonka, you keep
Reaching higher and taking us along as you exceed all expectation. Your own tweets today on the parade of preposterous posturing pompous preening performance art by WHPC &Co. is so smart witty sharp solid and fun. And you are creating crystalline commentary WHILE simultaneously curating tweets etc from so many places for us? You do so much so brilliantly. It matters and you rock.
wow, Nancie, perfectly said.. and I agree so much. Thank you Nerdy & Ms. Chips for all the awesomeness you provide.
Where is the lie?
Sheâs right.
So what did Raven Symone have to say? She disagreed.
I have just seen an offensive diatribe from Cornell West. It is now on Video and out. He was on CNN spouting total ugly racist bat poop about pres Obama.
I hope for the sake of Humanity…….It is Never Posted here.
This is to Alert TODers ahead of time.
Nena, I doubt very seriously if any of the REGULAR TOD folks would even think about posting trash here. Seriously
Somebody please get this guy an invite to somewhere anywhere.
Nooooo - this is the one who was in my world recently - giving his advice to anyone who would listen - I appreciate that TOD taught me to turn off the sound.
Calm down brother West, Iâm on the phone with Hillaryâs people and weâre trying to get you tickets to her inauguration if sheâs elected.
I never watch CNN so Iâll never see it unless someone replays it on MSNBC. Cornell West isnât someone who has anything interesting to say. Heâs an idiot.
Cornell is still here?
God help me, I just retweeted Michael Moore!
BOOM, there it is:
Boom! Yet so many refuse to call Roof a terrorist.
good morning chips and todville
just got on the internet, scroll through todâs posts for today, and i see that blissed-out baby in pboâs arms— love love love!!! thatâs how i feel, just knowing heâs our president, and we can count on him every minute to be right, and to be right there.
Donât know if this has been previously posted — Iâve been hit or miss since Wednesday…
A picture is worth a gazillion words…
Where else would you expect to have pictures of guns media? He was a Gun Store, he promotes no regulation on guns, whatâs the big deal here?
Very sorry to hear this about my governor. Praying for a miracle and that he fully recovers.
Chuckles the clown now wants to apologize.
He needs to be fired - preferably yesterday
