    The Rolling Stone interview is one of the best they’ve done. He’s absolutely correct when he talks about climate change, not pulling any punches. But mostly his intellect shines through every line. What on earth are we going to do without him at the helm?

      Hello Hopefruit2,
      I’ve said it before, but I will say it again, any Democratic presidential candidates who distances herself/himself from President Obama, or runs against President Obama major accomplishments, is basically aiding and abetting the dysfunctional Republicans. This the time, before we get into the general election? to send a message to Democratic candidates who are out there dissing, criticizing, and running against President Obama: YOU ARE TURNING-OFF President Obama’s supporters who truly make up the most loyal Democratic base! As far as I am concerned, it’s the Democrats who are attacking, and running against, one of the most successful and the most consequential Democratic presidents in history who should be held accountable if one of these deranged Republican presidential candidates is elected president in 2016!

        So true, nathkatun7. PBO laughed when he was told the Republicans were saying negative and untrue things about him. But when the Democrats do it, it is not funny. Also, it’s suicidal, for them personally/politically, and for the country. Their unwillingness to stand up to the RWNJs will pull the entire structure of our democracy down. Not that I let the RWNJs off the hook-their level of crazy and evil is intentional, and it’s mercenary. Democrats who coddle them are almost as bad.

        Very well-said Nath! I 100% agree that the Democrats who do this SHOULD be held accountable for enabling the dysfunctional Republicans. Even when GWB was at 28% approval and everyone (not just in the US) could barely stand that man, save for a few die-hard GOPers, the Republican candidates never explicitly sought to “distance” themselves from him. They focused on the Dem candidates and whatever they perceived to be their shortcomings.

        And here you have a successful Dem President who has had a damn near-perfect two-terms, and provided an excellent model for running a presidential campaign, and all these worthless candidates can do is to pretend as if he were the worst thing they ever encountered?

      That is true of most in the MSM, not just Kroft…they think foreign policy is appearing shirtless on a horse…or threatening to bomb this country or that country. That’s the extent of their conceptualization of “foreign policy.”

    Students at the University Of Texas at Austin are planning to protest a new law that permits the concealed carry of handguns on campus — with dildos.
    The “campus carry” law passed by the Texas legislature and signed by the Governor in June, requires UT Austin and the other campuses in the UT system to allow students to carry guns on campus. It gives the schools some discretion on how to implement the law.
    The protest is designed to draw attention to the fact that carrying a dildo to class could be “prohibited expression” under university rules. The rules prohibit “any writing or visual image, or engage in any public performance, that is obscene.”
    “You’re carrying a gun to class? Yeah well I’m carrying a HUGE DILDO. Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play,” the organizer, Jessica Jin, wrote.

      Thanks, Baby O’Donna! What a great day. Actually, great weekend. Thanks to you and my other fellow Obamabots for all the great birthday wishes!

      All my grandkids and great grandkids are in Florida, now, in two bunches on two different coasts. They all called in two groups, sang to me, then we chatted and laughed individually. And my son was feeling fine and made a cake for me, and tossed me a little party at his house, with the grandkids on speaker phone to sing again.

      Life is good.

    My son called to tell me that POTUS was on 60 minutes… told him I was aware but would not watch due to Steve Kroft being an asshole in his questioning. I knew President Obama would be incomparable in his responses.. but I just cannot bear the disrespect from these journalists and so miss most of these one on one interviews. I know my President has got this..

      I’m with you. I’ve literally watched some of these shows in the past, where I’d mute the “interviewer” and just listen to the President’s answers. But enough is enough.

      Think the Prez gets a kick out of zapping back at Kroft, however, or he’d never agree to do this show. And good for him!

      Polls are worthless — they’re the lowest form of click-bait.

      Polls for 2016 candidates have a proven track record of being meaningless. There’s a twitter account whose handle I can’t recall now that tweets Presidential poll results at the same point in 2007, 2011 which serve entertainment purposes only — ask President Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, etc.

      This year they’re not even trying to be anything other than click-bait (small polling sample of older #whiteprivilege only).

      @linnyitssn’s tweet upthread should be in the tweet hall of fame.

      Here’s a poll that you can be sure will never see the light of day from our unscrupulous MSM:

      I don’t think so, he is just too stupid. He has already said he doesn’t want to be speaker; he is a pipsqueak, better off hanging in the shadows. He has nowhere near the kind of energy a speaker should have (Boner not an example), and he will be overwhelmed in very short order.

      Another story that only local media cover, not our lazy, ODS MSM — expect even *more* vitriol from them now that one of their esteemed elite proved to be no match for the intelligence and wit of our two-term (would be three-term if his name appeared on the ballots) President.

      From the article linked to in the facebook posting:
      “Riley told KTLA back in August that it was his dream to meet with the president, whom he described as his hero.

      ‘I would tell him that he’s an amazing guy,’ Riley said at the time. ‘He’s made it so that I feel like I can do anything.’

      Riley’s family took to social media to help make the boy’s dream of meeting Obama a realization. Through the ‘Team Riley’ Facebook page, family and friends used the hashtag #OperationRileyMeets to gain support for his goal.”

    I belong to a women’s group that meets weekly and works on political and environmental issues, among other things. We are all Democrats, yet many complain about PBO because they just have the MSM for their information and not this wonderful TOD family. I try to forward articles and videos I learn about here to them, but sometimes it doesn’t sway their opinions of PBO.

    This weekend I told them to watch PBO on 60 Minutes, and I wanted to post what one of the more skeptical women just sent me about that show.

    “I just watched Barack Obama with a much too TV melodrama based, hard assed, I thought, Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes and was blown away. What a brilliant and terrific President we have had the privilege of knowing and how disgustingly under appreciated. His mind is so sharp and his ability to dance ‘the dance’ with interviewers is so wonderful.”

    I’m only sorry it has taken her so long to realize how incredible PBO is. I love our President. And everyone here at TOD. :-)
