Arriving at the CBC Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards Dinner, 2009
****
9:15 EDT: The President delivers remarks at the CBC Foundation’s 45th Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards Dinner; The First Lady also attends, Walter E. Washington Convention Center
wow, what amazingly great fashion sense! is there anything they don’t do well!?? seriously.
changing gears…i see the jeb BUSH! rehab job of “the news” people is moving into the next phase already. couple days ago n.y. times had something about how “smart” bush3 is. even a supposed liberal writer is getting in on the act now:
Jeb Bush deserves more credit for confronting Donald Trump than he's getting: https://t.co/i2SFDBKngW https://t.co/Nc7KDh8znD
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) September 19, 2025
this whole trump insanity is pumped up so bush the 3rd can come in and appear the sane one, even though bush3 is promoting almost as crazy ideas. sad to see greg sergent doing bush rehab. maybe some twitters here can let have it…
IMO that’s a sign they are not as confident in their preferred candidate as they’d like others to think they are. That’s also how I read Wasserman-Schultz’ minimum debate decision.
Good things keep happening for Ahmed!

On a sad note……Legendary Novelist, Ms Jackie Collins has passed away from breast caner at the tender age of 77. Joan Collins’ younger sis.
Her books were made into fun movies.
RIP.
Would be really interesting to me to know. Equally interesting would be to know if the upswing (has got to be one) continues once the Obamas leave the WH.
NW, thank you.
I missed this and I can’t stop smiling, crying and laughing.
How is it possible this human being can touch everything my heart has been feeling and my ears needed to hear.
How is this humanly possible?
Please, someone tell me can he be VP if not 3rd term President?
No one on that GOP debate has yet to deliver one line of importance.
Our President just kept on delivering, making sense, profoundness in every thought.
I stopped saying,”this is the best speech ever!” a long time ago.
I just wait for end and keep tissues close by.
Good night, TOD.
Ms. Dudette, I just know you celebrated whole heartedly!
You deserve it.
O/T on another sad note. Just saw that Tim McGraw has had to cancel two performances. The not untypical issue with his vocal chords. If COMPLETE rest doesn’t help, may have to have the surgery. We in TN continually hope he will run for governor someday. He has hinted that more than once. Good strong Dem.
Knoller you know POTUS was telling the truth. These right wing racists bigots are telling everyone that the President hate police officers, that he is to blame for the cops being kill.
Honestly, you ought to be honoured that you are still granted the privilege of taking your daughter out to dinner or whatever. Stop griping - you cannot take it with you, you know!
:roll: Well, duh, of course she needed a new outfit to go out with her Da….each time! Surely you wouldn’t have wanted her to be seen in the same outfit repeatedly? Some men can be so clueless! Also, too, why else have you been working all these years if not to ensure both your children have an easier life? Sometimes I just don’t understand you.
Did too - and I remember you were quite pleased that it worked! Thanks for this link - I’ll look at it tomorrow when I’m more awake/alert. I really wish I could locate stuff as fast as some of you guys, or at least have a better memory for what I’m trying to describe. Quite annoying not to be able to!
IMO, It makes little difference if 15 debates are held in some obscure time slot when no one is paying attention or is able to watch them conveniently, and the person with the bigger PR machine & media influence gets to leverage how these debates are presented.
We need MORE than 6 debates in primetime network TV!

Hey!!!!!! Chips it’s GOAL time

Some nice pictures of POTUS and FLOTUS at the CBC foundation awards dinner.
With this beautiful display of the previous years’ entrances, I cannot wait to see the O’s entrance for 2015! :D :D
Chips Chica, what *are* you going to do with all these wonderful memories of the Obama years that TOD has recorded?
Tape them to my soul :-)
No point, your soul is too far gone! /moves quickly out of the way while calling over shoulder/ There must be a more productive role for them.
What big eyes he’s got! BTW, isn’t he vegetarian? :D :D *My* soul’s safe for now.
I almost cried when I read that, honey bunch! :)
Chips Chica needs to publish a book! ❤️
A blog book! Seriously though, CarolM, I would think a book would creating a problem with all of the property rights permission she’d need to obtain.
It was just a dream. . .
Dreams are great! Maybe we can talk the O-Foundation into having a ‘Historical Grassroot Blogger’s Corner’ in the museum.
wow, what amazingly great fashion sense! is there anything they don’t do well!?? seriously.

ugh. didn’t that lying murderer’s ugly mug was going to show up like that. this one is better:
Evening people:) FLOTUS looks stunning in all those beautiful gowns….the beauty on the inside, shines on the outside:)
I’m seeing a lot of anti-Biden tweets in my TL all of a sudden. I may have use my block feature soon…
I’d use an AK47 on them - if I had an AK47.
IMO that’s a sign they are not as confident in their preferred candidate as they’d like others to think they are. That’s also how I read Wasserman-Schultz’ minimum debate decision.
PBO is HERE!!!
Okay, I’m listening to the president now.
They are a gorgeous couple!
Many of them don’t deserve the praise he’s heaping on them - UGH!
He’s always too gracious, especially to the undeserving…
A gentleman at all times
!!!! :) :)
They finally arrived and FLOTUS looks beautiful as always.
PBO has no problem giving women recognition!
We rock :cool:
Yes, we do :cool:
our First Couple looks fabulous
he said OBAMACARE!!!
:-)
Good evening, TOD!
Good things keep happening for Ahmed!

Wow, wow, wow! Bravo Microsoft!
Ahmed makes me smile.
I want Michelle getting paid as some point!
Boom. Friggin’ kenyan.
((((Dudette)))) — H.A.P.P.Y..B.I.R.T.H.D.A.Y.!!!!!! May you continue to be Blessed with love, peace, and joy!
Wow - I’m late to that party.
Happy Birthday, Dudette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies, We ROCK!
Good Evening TOD.
This post is Great!
The pictures are perfect! Thanks, Chips.
Congrats GGail on your Solid Au :star:
Our President is PREACHING!!!
On a sad note……Legendary Novelist, Ms Jackie Collins has passed away from breast caner at the tender age of 77. Joan Collins’ younger sis.
Her books were made into fun movies.
RIP.
Sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace.
Dudette,
I am late on wishing you a very happy birthday!
Oh I missed this!
Happy Birthday Dudette. I hope wherever you are that you are having a phenomenal birthday
Damn he gives great speeches - WOW!
Love our POTUS and FLOTUS. :)
They are taking the pictures of our First Couple.
Well, well, well….Ms Harris-Perry is FINALLY happy with a PBO speech… Where has she been all along…LMAO!
‘unprecedented’?
:roll:
;)
She never saw, listened nor watched Pres Obama since Jan 20, 2025 until today……Sept 19th, 2015? As a Professor, she should grade herself D-
Too busy grinding her 12 ton axe!
She is such an embarrassment to me
Love, love, love them both! Respect them, admire them, blessed by them. May God continue to protect and guide and strengthen them. 😍😍😍😍
Happy Birthday, Dudette! Hope it has been fabulous!
I didn’t have Internet yesterday, last night and part of today while participating in my 50th reunion. Glad to be back in “civilization.”
It’s funny watching the arms & cameras moving from left to right and then from right to left when PBO when back to wait for FLOTUS :D
Fabuloussssssss…
i wonder how many more tickets have been sold to the CBC dinner…since the President has been attending the CBC dinner
Would be really interesting to me to know. Equally interesting would be to know if the upswing (has got to be one) continues once the Obamas leave the WH.
President Obama was en fuego with the truth!
NW, thank you.

Thanks Mark & the President thanks you too for helping to spread the news 😀
Knoller you know POTUS was telling the truth. These right wing racists bigots are telling everyone that the President hate police officers, that he is to blame for the cops being kill.
on road blogging. proof enuf that I ain’t blotto?
I don’t know. Depends on *where* on the road you are. /smirk/
back to home after visiting daughter unit who thinks I am her ATM. My wallet got thinnah and thinnah every day for the past 3 days.
Honestly, you ought to be honoured that you are still granted the privilege of taking your daughter out to dinner or whatever. Stop griping - you cannot take it with you, you know!
heh ! not just dinner, it was dress-dinnah-dress-dinnah-dress-lunch-dinnah-dress-dinnah, ok?
:roll: Well, duh, of course she needed a new outfit to go out with her Da….each time! Surely you wouldn’t have wanted her to be seen in the same outfit repeatedly? Some men can be so clueless! Also, too, why else have you been working all these years if not to ensure both your children have an easier life? Sometimes I just don’t understand you.
That’s what daddy’s do:) Quit yer bitchin:) She loves her daddy!
not just my munny, my time too.
hey dad, how is this dress? yeah, it looks fine, no it doesn’t, why am I asking you. mom, what do you think?
a few minutes later,
hey dad, how is this dress? yeah, it looks fine, no it doesn’t, why am I asking you. mom, what do you think?
rinse/repeat all day long. wimminz/smh
:D Never occurred to you once to try the other answer, eh? Just to see if your opinion would be considered
“hey dad, how is this dress? nah, I don’t like the colour
been there. done that. got the same result.
of course, she finally ended up choosing my choices in 6/7. 8-)
#youpoorcomplainer #whosjusttickledpinkdaughterunitpayshimanymind
also. too.
https://obamadiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=polls&action=create-poll
Big thanks! Will definitely explore possibilities tomorrow.
BTW, since you are back home, can you post the link that you used to make that dinky poll a while back? I want to check it out.
furst of all, no road does not mean back home. #5morehours
sekind of all, what dinky poll?
One where you were asking people to vote on some dinky topic as a test, to see if the stuff would work. Kinda like a quiz, I guess.
And are you sure you didn’t say somewhere that you were back home?
https://obamadiary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=polls
No, I dint.
Did too - and I remember you were quite pleased that it worked! Thanks for this link - I’ll look at it tomorrow when I’m more awake/alert. I really wish I could locate stuff as fast as some of you guys, or at least have a better memory for what I’m trying to describe. Quite annoying not to be able to!
She loves you and wants your approval….Tell her she looks stunning and that you adore her:) Breathe.Repeat as often as necessary.
Does anyone know about this..
She’s a Hillary stan and basically nuts. I blocked her a long time ago.
i wanted to know if this was true
It’s not.
IMO, It makes little difference if 15 debates are held in some obscure time slot when no one is paying attention or is able to watch them conveniently, and the person with the bigger PR machine & media influence gets to leverage how these debates are presented.
We need MORE than 6 debates in primetime network TV!
Don’t mess with Ms. Patty!
She let the “Philly Girl” come out…
Pattie is from the old school, you don’t come on her stage and act like a darn jack a$$.
All I can say is, BOOOOOOM
I know right! :)
Hahahahaha!
Good one Chips
