Happy Labor Day Chips and TOD.
And the VERY same to you, COS!
Congrats Cos!
Mooooorning(last day before school…I slept in…)
Congratulations to you and COS for coming in together. Happy Labor Day and a shoutout to my old union, SEIU!
I hope this event is televised.
I love seeing VP Joe fired up. A brief speech but a very passionate one. A very warm reception from the crowd. It ended with the crowd shouting, “run Joe run.”
Sorry that I missed VP Joe.
Darn, I missed it!
GM Meta.
Left a ‘thank you’ reply on previous thread. :)
The msnbc livestream ended before the chants. :(
I heard some of it before they cut away.
I see your comment on previous thread and love your words about FLOTUS being a great support to Dr. Jill. Today’s speech reminded us why VP Joe is so beloved. He’s honest and plain spoken about what matters. He’s not afraid to be emotional about the things he cares about.
GM Meta.
Of course we know how biased our tunnel-vision MSM is, but it amazes me that they don’t see (or refuse to acknowledge) that @VP will get the support of the Obama coalition because we trust Joe to never criticize (or slyly allude to — HRC style) @POTUS.
After 7 years of unrelenting negative spins/lies on anything Obama-related, we DO NOT want more of the same for Dems running for President in 2016.
Mornin’. Please tweet out that last sentence. Like daily! :)
MEta, I missed VP Joe. Is it on the video up above?
hi every one
furst.
Good morning TODville. Got here in time to hear VP’s speech. Love hearing the Run Joe run at the end.
GM MTM.
Missed the chants, but am there in spirit.
I believe the MSM reports that Jill Biden is reluctant (after seeing the unfair, untrue VICIOUS personal attacks against @FLOTUS and @POTUS for 7 years, who could blame her), but Americans really need another person who is true to his beliefs and says what he means and means what he says to firmly implement everything @POTUS has accomplished so far.
I think @VP is at heart a pragmatist and will no doubt disappoint emoprogs who want everything, right now dammit, but voters know that whatever Joe Biden does to enact law will be in the interests of the general public, not multi-zillionaires and lobbyists.
GM araphaho415!!! I also understand her reluctance after everything they have gone thru. But I am so underwhelmed by those currently in the running. Someone brought up to me the possiblility of Kerry running. I think he would make an outstanding President. Don’t know if he would be interested.
Read somewhere that Kerry is not interested.
After hearing how torn @VP is, my heart sank. Thank God for Jill Biden — Joe Biden strikes me as the type of person who would throw himself between a loved one and danger, and would do so at a drop of a hat for Jill, his children and grandchildren. Jill would be a caring, committed and stylish FLOTUS, so I hope she will consider what a difference it would make for the US and the world for Joe to be #45.
If Joe doesn’t enter the race, I’ll vote (but with little enthusiasm) for whoever the Dem candidate is and wait for @POTUS and @VP to nurture and mentor new leaders to lead us forward — really hope that @PressSec Josh Earnest returns to Kansas and runs for statewide office there (crossing my fingers that he doesn’t remain in the DC-bubble) — Josh is so good, and so Kansas-nice with his dealings with GOP-propaganda WHPC jackals.
I didn’t think Kerry would be interested but I always have hope. I too will vote Dem and pray for the next generation. I didn’t realize Josh is from KS. That is my home state and I have such heartache over what is happening there. There is always hope!
An inspiring story:
More on why @VP Biden is in Pittsburgh today:
Good morning!
I hope you all have the day off to do whatever. 😄
POWER
AWESomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…..STILL I Rise!!
Yes it is awesome and so is she.
The more I hear that song, the more I like it.
I watched it twice! What a woman!!
That’s such a beautiful video — really touching. Serena is awesome. I hope she wins the U.S. Open (even though it means beating her older Sister). I love that she keeps her head up despite all the racism and nasty commentary. She’s an inspiration.
The thing about Joe Biden is the same thing about Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. You know at the end of the day they care about what happens to you.
watching the labor day parade in Pittsburgh…someone does not his mic is live…surprised no one had told him….disaster waiting to happen
I am constantly amazed by the brilliance of Dr. King’s words.
Indeed….Indeed!
Brought tears to my eyes then … brought tears to my eyes again.

Hello TOD.
Happy Labor’s Day.
Sunny. Humidity today is at 73%…..a huge relief form the last few days.
Congrats to triple Au Winners on this post.
France will take 24K Refugees from Syria and neighboring nations. UK is now saying that they will take up to 20K. Germany, Austria, Sweden, etc are doing the best thus far from EU. Bless them All.

WATCH LIVE: Senator Elizabeth Warren speaks at Labor Day breakfast. http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
the president has been a great advocate for working people…but you would never know when they speak on these issues…they never give to the President
She can’t give PBO credit because it will upset her “base”. Just like the tea partiers, the extreme left finds the success of PBO challenging to their worldview, so they have created this alternate reality PBO who is a puppet to Wall Street. The level of their collective mental illness is evident in the fact that it was PBO who gave Elizabeth her start.
Eric…in my alternate universe of hope…i had wished that the DEM party had been more open to the President…using the example of OFA to rebuild the organizing structure of the DNC…but they are inflicted with the same ODS that the right is inflicted with…hence when the President ran in 2012…he had to build his own structure in order to win….sigh…i often wonder what will happen when the nominee is chosen…will the DNC continue its trek away from the President
HRC seems to realize she needs the Obama coalition if she wants to win, but even she pines for the white working class vote. The DNC and Dem “leadership” want to revert back to the days before PBO. Winning elections takes a back seat to not being seen as the “Black folks party”.
Why don’t they ever give the president a chance to speak? :(
Weird photo. Street is immaculate but for a lone Starbucks cup trashing the road…
It’s a comment on our consumerist culture. FEEL THE BERN!!!
Anyone here from Houston? My sister may have to move there and so I would appreciate any info you have:) I’ll pass it along. She’s not big on moving and change…but she loves her BF and hates the cold and snow up North….
She will need to get in the burbs. In the outer limits of downtown Houston. At least, that is what I went through when I was down there, not south but North and West.
All i know about Houston is it’s hot/humid in summer and cold in winter. It was the only city in TX i did not like however it was in the late 80’s and the ecomony was in the toilet at the time. Since then it has become more diverse industries and less reliant on oil. Why Houston?
Another reason why Sen. Schumer should not represent Democrats in the Senate
Keep an eye out for this:
Cardin is trying to become Menendez lite….
Things are Finally getting real.
These people have forgotten that PEACE is what most Dems…..probably 90% of Dems want and these people taking individual Oath to protect and honor US’s Constitution……..they not only betray their Oath, they are siding with a foreign leader over POTUS. That is beyond heresy. It is treasonous in my personal opinion.
Israel is fast becoming a partisan issue. The AIPAC Congressmen that are currently Dems may have to switch parties since Israel is their most important issue. They should not be allowed to hold Dem leadership positions in the meantime before the switch.
Very disappointed in Cardin.
Profile in courage:
In honor of VC’s quizzes :)
Electing a reelecting Bibi displays the moral rot going on in Israel. During WWII many country’s wrongly turned away Jewish refugees attempting to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. Now Israel is doing the same thing. Why is everyone supposed to have learned lessons from the Holocaust except Israel? It better keep the AIPAC money flowing, because Israel is not making any friends through its actions.
Even if I couldn’t do better, it doesn’t matter because unlike Trump, I am not running to hold the most powerful political office in the world.
He’s running for President and should at least be intelligent on who some of the players are in ME to speak intelligently. To say you are “good at military” and don’t know anything about ME is ok for running for mayor or or dog catcher. American want more from a presidential candidate.
Got 1st 4 right. Do I get a certificate of merit?
You can be President according to NYTs :) :) :)
:D No thanks, Jojo. Couldn’t handle all the extended taxpayer paid vacations, plus I haven’t a clue where to lay my hands on my long form bc!
Happy American May Day!
;-)
Good Morning TOD and Enjoy your Labor Day! Hubby can’t stop working in the garden.
While on YouTube to share Chips great browning recipe I saw this video.
Do you know I couldn’t watch Selma in theaters? Closest theater showing it was a 4 hour drive. Thought it would be on Netflix. No not yet that I know. So I bought it. I’m looking forward to a good cry later. Now to listen to the President! 😊
#BlackLivesMatter
Science, everyone!
Thank goodness, I refreshed this time, LL. I was about to post this. ;)
�?@cbsboston
Those chiding BLM as ‘Hate/Murder’ group will undoubtedly ignore this story…….
If by resigning and the tax payers are stuck with your pension and benefits, then the Citizens are still being fleeced.
They feel the same as this former police chief, but they don’t want to sully their self image by coming out racist. The fact that some white people are so offended by BLM tells us more about them than it does BLM.
I love this president…smilin…i guess i have said this before… :)
Oh how I love they way President Obama clowned Tom Brady.
Yes, Mr. President, we are stronger together! Did anyone else note that after the speech. Sen. Warren got a handshake but not a hug?
She’s lucky she got that.
She got a kiss when he came in. :/
I love it when PBO signs Executive Orders. Gives me a tingle-all over �?
You and Chris Matthews both.
thank you for your tweets…NW…thank you
The Wonder Woman of the The Tweet Summations.
Fantastic MW.
Thank you.
Greetings, TODobots!
May beauty like this touch your soul today as you ‘rest’ from your labours!
Cuomo mayor of New York’s aid got shot in the head at a West Indian parade.
And apparently there were other acts of violence leading up to the parade. Sad to hear that what usually is a peaceful event being tarred by foolish people. Hope they catch the perpetrators.
looks like it was before the parade… Hope he’s okay… Intensive care so he might make it although head shots are often fatal. :(
I thought Post Offices’ were already named? Like the United States Post Office.
hahahaha…sit down..Don….smh@ you
In the movie “12 Years a Slave” nothing upset a white racist more than being bested by a Black man. I think Bernie suffers from this mentality. He spent 26 years in Congress and has nothing to show for it, but now claims he could accomplish so much more than PBO if he were president. Nothing PBO does is ever good enough according to a guy who accomplished nothing.
Oh but don’t tell his supporters that, they thinks their guy pisses lemonade and shits donuts.
Meta thanks for posting this. After all this time in congress, he is selling his followers a lot of pie in the sky crap. If the researched his record and saw what he did not do while serving in congress, where he had a better chance to do all of what he promises, he certainly won’t do it as President.
I’d run for President for the free food alone.
Sir Don, I think he has to pay for all his food or claim it. LOL
PBO and other DEM president I have seen are shown paying for his food….now whether the stores put it in the register (souvenirs) is another thing.
I believe the Union Oyster House is the oldest, continuously operating restaurant in the U.S. Excellent, and atmospheric. Right in the heart of Boston.
Thank you Chips & Nerdy for the great post. Watched all of his speech. Have to go to the store out of Pecans. I am making Cranberry-wild rice bread to take to my Sister’s tomorrow. Will be gone from home for 3 weeks. I should come back with my head cloudy. She is a trip and a bigot.
BBL.
Beautiful 3<
