    My heart leaped with pride when I saw how automatically hands went in the air to wave back at PBO when he waved at the crowd in the first clip of WWW. And how can you NOT like a President who takes the time to tease the reporters and photographers.

      Thank you, LP, for the Iranian tweet updates.

      Shout out to you, too, Bobfr. Thanks!

      Pres. Rouhani had a very interesting talk with the Iranian people.

      logical people know that the #IranDeal is a BDF, but it is possible we may have under-estimated the magnitude of its ramifications.

      thanks a lot for sharing these tweets here. this made it very easy for me to share them with those in my network

    I made a promise to myself to ignore the vile scumbags running for the gop nomination until such a time when numbers are reduced to a manageable level;

    however, I feel very tempted to respond to that empty head from WI and point out to him that : he may pretend to “not know” where PBO prays but at least he can NEVER claim PBO as fellow disciple who worships corrupt money in the church of democracy-destroying Kochroaches”

      President Obama has stated more than once that if he ran again he would win. President Obama isn’t prone to bouts of arrogance or being conceited, so I wonder at times why he makes those statements. I think if Joe Biden runs and President Obama backs him Joe would win. President Obama saying he would win if he ran again doesn’t help anyone but Joe Biden. I think that Joe would assuredly carry on the work of President Obama if he’s elected because all of the other Democratic candidates seem to run away from President Obama’s record, Joe wouldn’t.

        I agree with Don and Bob, here.
        I also believe that if Joe Is not running he would be backing HRC. NOT allowing this speculation to fester.

        Still, i get these are just my opinions without very solid backing.

    President Obama is going to reinstate Pell Grants for inmates.

    Guess who stopped that program ? Once again PBO cleans up after Bill Clinton and his disgusting Crime Bill.

    I still cannot figure out why Bill Clinton is popular. He was a horrible President . I cannot think of one thing he did to help the American people.

    “The al-Anfal Campaign (Arabic: حملة الأنفال‎), also known as the Kurdish Genocide,[4] Operation Anfal or simply Anfal, was a genocidal[5] campaign against the Kurdish people (and other non-Arab populations) in northern Iraq, led by the Ba’athist Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and headed by Ali Hassan al-Majid in the final stages of Iran–Iraq War. The campaign takes its name from Surat al-Anfal in the Qur’an, which was used as a code name by the former Iraqi Baathist government for a series of systematic attacks against the Kurdish population of northern Iraq, conducted between 1986 and 1989 and culminating in 1988. The campaign also targeted other minority communities in Iraq including Assyrians, Shabaks, Iraqi Turkmens, Yazidis, Mandeans, and many villages belonging to these ethnic groups were also destroyed.”

    A Memphis cop was shot and killed during a traffic stop and the Black (Uncle Tom) police chief said some nonsense about all lives matter. I don’t know the race of the shooter (the manhunt is ongoing), but don’t understand the cops and the devils they serve being so offended by the Black Lives Matter slogan. Prosecutors do not fail to bring charges against cop killers nor do juries let cop killers get away with murder. The U.S. Constitution does not endorse or condone group punishment, but the police seem to be endorsing the view that since some criminals are Black, all Black people have to suffer the consequences. How come all white people don’t have to suffer for the offenses of white criminals? Is a Black person justified in murdering an “innocent” white person for the crimes of the white racial group? Do the sons and daughters of white people have to pay the price for the crime perpetrated by unrelated members of their race? If group punishment is what they are advocating, are they willing to have their wives, daughters, sons and mothers pay the price for crimes or offenses committed by white folks? My questions are intended to highlight how absurd it is to be Black in America. In theory there is one law in this country. In practice, the U.S. Constitution does not apply to Black folks, and somehow this is supposed to be acceptable.

      The Black Lives Matter debate reminds me of the You Didn’t Build That controversy the GOP blew up at their convention.

    Lots of wonderful stuff in this West Wing Week video (not surprisingly), but top highlights for me are the beaming 1000 megawatt smile from the little munchkin in the green top getting a hug from the President at 1:12 of the video (at the Kenyan Embassy families greeting him) and right at the very end when the President manages to get even the Secret Service agent just close by to laugh when he’s making fun of the “hair-net” Press crew.

    It’s very rare you see the Secret Service guys smile, much less laugh when the president is joking.
