YEAH, YEAH. :) This is been quite a week. I am exhausted trying to keep up with everything. It was interesting that Rachel did a report on Kevin McCarthy and pointed out that he has only sponsored and passed two bills, during his tenure in congress.
I just canât get over how beautiful, youthful. and joyful she looks. The First lady mold had been broken long ago by MO, but tonight it has shattered into a million little pieces. Her kindness, loving open heart, brilliance and joie de vivre shine from her eyes and light up her very being. BO is a lucky man and we are a blessed nation.
:) It makes me a little hungry, and I am not much of a food person. However, I might tell you only, I nearly claimed this dinner menu was exactly what I was planning to serve at home tonight, but no one would have believed it anyway!! ;)<3
Heâs a big-time crazy, you are right. Everything he says and does is ludicrous (and some potentially harmful), including making these statements today.
what I have learned about âbreaking newsâ during President Obamaâs term so far:
when you think that events of this week canât be topped, some unexpected/secretly-planned event happens.
how in the world are lazy people like me expected to catch up with their other regular activities?
I think I might have to reach out to POTUS to write me one of those âabsentee notesâ:
=> âto whom it may concern, please excuse Lindaâs tardiness and laziness; she was virtually following me as I went about my business of Presidenting â
So because I didnât know much about who it was that decided to plot against their President Jan - 2009, I thought I would check out what has happened to them in the age of Obama - a more unsuccessful bunch of bitter white guys would be harder to find
Gone
Rep Eric Cantor - lost his seat in primary election 2014
Rep. Pete Hoekstra - lost senate election 2012
Rep. Dan Lungren - lost seat 2012
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R) - resigned seat mid term Jan 1 2013
Sen. Jon Kyl - resigned 2012 after failed attack on PP 2011
Sen. Tom Coburn - resigned 2014
Sen. John Ensign - resigned amid ethics violation 2011
Still there
Rep. Paul Ryan - failed VP candidate - returned to obscurity (and his government paycheck) in the house
Sen. Bob Corker - did he give PBO the Iran deal
Rep. Kevin McCarthy - may be speaker
Rep. Pete Sessions - wants to be majority whip
Rep. Jeb Hensarling - wants to be speaker
Never there
Frank Lunz - failed media person
Newt Gingrich - failed speaker of the house
7 down, 5 to go. The next 12 months in the house should get rid of some more.
Your knowledge of US politics is breathtaking — BTW, Tony Abbott out in Australia didnât register as a blip for US MSM (neither did Corbyn heading the UK Labour party).
Speakers haven't had great endings in decades: Wright, Gingrich, Livingston resigned, Foley defeated, Hastert indicted, Pelosi lost majority

TOD educates :) During the 2008 election campaign I decided I just had to understand the US electoral/government system. Has taken quite a time to learn. I now have the status among friends/family that what I say - goes - no arguments as to anything good about republicans. :)
When I was in the states moons ago - the only news from outside of the US related to the USSR. Most people I met thought I came from England - many had never heard of Australia.
Major reason why so many in the US are ignorant about the world - the US media.
Hear, Hear, 99ts. I grew up in the DC area, moved to Canada in my late teens and started to see stories that got me to thinking. Years later, off to NZ, and then to Australia, and by then understood I would never hear these points of view inside the US of A. On visits back, tried to explain this to my family, only one of whom has ever left the US, except to visit in Canada. Amazing. Just amazing how limited the scope of awareness is over here. Sad too, but the Internet is changing that, and fast!
Hi MightyP - be needing some of your positive thoughts in the near future - moving in November & still too much to do.
I could never understand the US fascination with the USSR but after the past few years of learning it seems to relate to needing an enemy. Too many seem to need a “bogey man” to hate. When the USSR disintegrated they turned to the countries of the middle east. Just sad.
For sure! I have thought of you every day in September, thinking it was this month. I can just keep sending energy every day until you say Itâs All Done! <3
Here you go: The Universe is responding to the events of this week: thank you President and Mrs Obama, show âem how itâs done:

This 13 year old is concerned about “his brand.” GAH. Sometimes popular culture makes me sick when it convinces very young people to lie and manipulate for the sake of celebrity.
WOW! Is certainly the correct word for this whole week.
Thank you everyone for the beautiful, informative post and pics all week.
I cannot wait to get here and savor everything.
POTUS and FLOTUS put the cherry on the top looking like “they got this.”
Ms. Dudette, you might as well hit me off with “I Am Singing” from that album that I treat like pure gold.
I am going back to look at the pics ONE MORE TIME!
I will be up for a couple of hours reflecting and absorbing all that has happened this week.
Iâm floating……..
As to Cantor and Boehner exiting stage left, I leave you this Scripture.
Psalm 110:1 “I will make your enemies your footstool.”
Besides all the news at TOD, I heard news about Malia Obama! Her Mom told me! Well not “just” me. If you watched FLOTUS & the First Lady of China name the new Panda Bei Bei (Precious Treasure) at the National Zoo you heard it too. Malia has been interning at the National Zoo “Undercover”. I watched it on Periscope just now. đ đź đ đž
Madame Peng and I are thrilled to announce the name of our @NationalZoo's "precious treasure," Bei Bei! âmo đź pic.twitter.com/DXegThJTsN
The GOP/TPers keep blindly backing losers, and when the sh*t hits the fan and shows them that these people are nothing burgers, they pretend they never “liked” them. It took them @ six years to realize that Sarah Palin was an empty-headed too who has used them to get rich. I think they have the worst judgment of any group of persons on the planet. Substance isnât important to them, only appearances and bluster.
Thanks NW.
COS wins! COS wins! COS wins! And the crowd goes wiiiiiilllldddd! :-D
YEAH, YEAH. :) This is been quite a week. I am exhausted trying to keep up with everything. It was interesting that Rachel did a report on Kevin McCarthy and pointed out that he has only sponsored and passed two bills, during his tenure in congress.
Has she mention ALL of b. Sanders? đ
Congratulations COS! Double thanks to NW! đ
:)
Yea, COS!
Youâre welcome, COS.
Agreed. Go donna.
Michele is such a beautiful woman inside and out. Love how she looks in this picture.
Stunningly beautiful……..
:)
Great tweets, NW, captures the mood to a tee.
@FLOTUS is always stunning, but she looks 20 years younger tonight.
Iâm savoring every minute of this remarkable Obama era.
:)
Gorgeous!!!
I was gonna wait and do romantic music on their anniversary, but bump that! Iâm doing it now. <3
Is it Oct. 3? For their 23?
â¤ď¸đđđđđ

^5 ^5 CEB, and he knows it, and we know it!! I cannot leave these pages, the photos are so riveting! <3 <3
:)
Love the “Cherry Amour”! Had to read it twice; yep, that is what it says. :D (Really love the song and the singer!)
Yeh, I looked past that. :-D
Me too, after a bit of a chuckle!
recently went shopping with daughter unit & wifey unit.
at the info desk.
me: where is the wimminâs section?
guy at the info desk: what egg.sack.lee are ya looking for? We have got 7 floors for wimmin.
me: wth, 7 floo…. never mind, where is the menâs section?
gatid: Itâs in basement. And oh, you gotta take the stairs. No lifts to basement.
Moral of the story: Of course, flotus is killing the innernetz. There is a reason for it.
:) LOL :)
Donât have a celestial tweet for you tonight, but for some reason thought of you when I saw this tweet. :)
:) It makes me a little hungry, and I am not much of a food person. However, I might tell you only, I nearly claimed this dinner menu was exactly what I was planning to serve at home tonight, but no one would have believed it anyway!! ;) <3
love sushi and almost all Asian food in general.
Who RUN this mutha?… GIRLS!
and everyone of
youthem has a different outfit. I rest my case.Ha! Hang in there, amk!
I will but my wallet wonât.
My guess is you love it. :)
This dress looks nice, why donât you try it? me and my big mouth.
See? I knew it.
you know what they say, loose mouth lose money.
All worth it!
I know thing. I WILL be getting my ass to the gym tomorrow (… and buying some vegetables and shit). Cuz dayum! :-D
one thing… :roll:
Dudette, I love that song by Stevie Wonder.
Me too! :-)
Oh My!
Thank You, Thank You Very Much NW !!! ;)
Great tweet donna - so suits the picture.
GE DonnaD.
Been away from the computer most of the day, so didnât know about this.
Was this NC? How clueless are these people?
Trump was at the OK state fair today. Hereâs one spot-on protest sign:
a vote for a republican is a vote for white supremacy.
:)
and Darwin wept.
Boom!
this coming from a crazy is a high praise indeed. well done, gop.
This one knows KRAY-ZEE!
I wonder if Nancy pelosi will be the new Speaker.
Heâs a big-time crazy, you are right. Everything he says and does is ludicrous (and some potentially harmful), including making these statements today.
where is the desk? where is the desk? where is the effing desk?
Beautiful. Perfect to dance to. Iâll give it a 95. :) (I could just see the Obamas dancing to it, like at the first Inaugural Ball.)
what I have learned about âbreaking newsâ during President Obamaâs term so far:
when you think that events of this week canât be topped, some unexpected/secretly-planned event happens.

Perfect. I think many of us might need one of those notes!
ICYMI:
BTW, musical tribute starts about 1:45:00. Gen Dempsey sings last song.

If only the 3rd rate 4th estate did its job.
Wham.

oh, I so wish your words would come to pass
good update. luntz is done for life as their spinner.
BAM! Corker!!! Aha! Thatâs why he was a guest at the dinner tonight! I wondered what the hell it was!
I gather it was his legislation that had the congress having to vote against the Iran agreement rather than needing to vote for the agreement.
GM 99ts.

Bless you - our unit is still being built - they keep putting back the date - sigh
Yes! Thank goodness for the Internet!
Nice try, Peter Baker - uh. Madame Speaker for Life, Nancy Pelosi, we are talking Obamacare here - or has that slipped your mind?
So lame.
yup, itâs the bothsidesdoitism from a typical clueless moron.
yes peter, pelosi losing the majority is the same as the other ratfuckers going out in disgrace. what an asshole
Also this:
Dudette, I kind of expected one of your first selections to be “Isnât She Lovely” in honor of FLOTUS who loves Mr. Stevie
Thought about it and decided not to ‘cuz:
1) too predictable and
2) itâs about a baby splashing around in a bathtub,
but okay since you asked about it, here ya go! :-)
Oops, wrong link.
LOL.
LOL! ^5
Conan OâBrien, if only. If only.
Donald Trump tried merely to look out of his window at the Pope and wave, and got booed by the crowd waiting for the Pope.
And I laughed.
And if the Swiss Guard and U.S. law enforcement doesnât keep Trump from the Pope, I shall. :)

ok, I had to laugh.
If only she was as blase all the time.
Ha! I like that one! :-)
Thatâs what I was thinking all day yesterday. Boehner, Weeper of the House, is second in line.
If a man opens the car door for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: one of them is new.
and I am outta here.
The little piece of work from Georgia has had his comeuppance.
As a young black man supporting Sen Cruz I would think his potential was severely limited.
The truth.
saw the earlier claims about being blocked & didnât believe it because it didnât make sense that anyone had any reason to do this - having read some of the other comments people repeatedly leave for PBOâs accounts
fake, fake, fake - sums about everything about gop
wtf! Little mini cruz wannabe.. lies just like him. Both sociopaths. what a shame.
This 13 year old is concerned about “his brand.” GAH. Sometimes popular culture makes me sick when it convinces very young people to lie and manipulate for the sake of celebrity.
Some gorgeousness to observe all around the WH tonight, I see!!
Misty doing a bit of slaying herself!
Is that Jackie O in that portrait? Ha! Thatâs where Iâd want my picture taken if I were wearing that dress too! Go Girl! :-D
It sure is! (My generation.)
What a beautiful lady and photo.
At her 100th birthday gathering, Hermione Jackson entertains guests with “Over the Rainbow”.
Jazziz2, thank you for this post.
She is absolutely amazing!
Her hands are so delicate and beautiful.
“Her hands are so delicate and beautiful”
My first thought - the most beautiful pianist hands
Way to go Miss Jackson! Just lovely! :-D
WOW! Is certainly the correct word for this whole week.

Iâm playing catch-up, but did yâall hear Aretha Franklin will be performing in Philly for the Pope tomorrow? Cool.
Awesome! Dag, this week just keeps getting better and better.
It does! And the President sure looks happy!
