In a 60 Minutes interview Obama was asked if he could win a third term and he said "Yes" and Fox News headquarters spontaneously combusted.

Congrats Jacqueline O.
And I believe the tweet Nena posted.
Thanks - hadn’t seen it before and once I saw the “Leave a comment” and found it in my hand … well, the rest is history.
:)
Congrats & hello J’OB :-)
Hello, GGail!
Look at you. Just winning & grinning during your birthday week celebration! Alrighty then! Congrats! :-D
It took me a few minutes to get back here after the winning & grinning, because I suddenly remembered my cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delicious. :)
Ummmmmmm cake :-)
I’m sharing it, virtually!
Thank you J. Now my mouth is watering for some cake. There’s a supermarket right across the street from my office…I will make a quick stop in just a few minutes… :-)
Enjoy it! (I did.)
Happy Birthday Furst J’OB!
Attn: Nerdy.
Fargo starts tonight and the reviews are very positive.
Hey, hey Vicki. My TV watching partner. :)
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE RETURN OF FARGO. I CAN’T WAIT FOR FARGO TO RETURN TONIGHT!!!!! Can you tell how excited I am?
I just recorded it. I watched the whole season and got hooked. That guy is scary. Won’t have a comment until tomorrow. I have it set to DVR on the repeat at 10pm cst. Will be interested on our take. :-)
I can answer that question: because his ambitious ego is getting the best of him. If he believes that the end of days are near, he should be on his knees praying and not chasing occupancy in the Oval Office.
I think that’s one of the reasons that REpublicans are so hell bent on war w/ Iran; etc - because they WANT that whole “end of days” scenario. Which is exactly why we better never let them back in office. They are nuts.
I reckon that someone like this thinks he could actually BE President is proof the end of days is near. Like Don, I suggest we just get it over with, so new life can make its beginning.
Attention SoCal TOD family and Lurkers: (I got my ticket already)
Our talented and lovely Tally is performing…Drama After Dark returning to Huntington Gardens this Halloween
“The gardens and buildings around the Huntington Library provide numerous atmospheric settings, which help transport audiences into the worlds of Edgar Allan Poe and Edward Gorey; in fact, merely walking from one play to the next becomes a mysterious adventure, thanks to the minimal light (provided by candles) in the outdoor setting.
During the course of the evening, audience members will see up to six out of the ten or more performances, which are staged simultaneously at various sites throughout the grounds. Most performances are outdoors (chairs provided), and visitors need to walk quickly from location to location without getting lost in the dark if they want good seats.”
The event takes place on October 24, starting at 6:30pm The Huntington Library, Art Collection & Botanical Gardens are located at 1151 Oxford Road in San Marino. Tickets are $45 for Huntington members, $55 for non-members.
Got my ticket. This will be my third trip and I enjoy it every time I go. Lots of TOD SoCal’ers are going to be there and some first timers, so it’s going to be a blast!
It will indeedy jojo :-)
I sure wish I could come and go with you. At least Sue is going! I know you will all have a great time and Tally will be fantabulous!!!!!
:)
Wish that headline tweet were actually true! :-)
Dragging some stuff over from the end of the previous thread, where my head was in sand. :-D
Yes. He. Did. margo :-)
Amazing story! I hope this man fulfills all his dreams!
Not to mention doing away with the disrespectful Redskins name and any Confederate names, plaques, statues, etc. No More!
:D
This is good … to match up with some of the “presidential” candidates.
Yes!
Not sure if this has been posted yet …
I appreciate seeing this - thanks J’ :-)
Good, honey bunch. :)
PERFECT…THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!
It truly is!
…it bums me out that VP Biden will not be on that debate stage tomorrow
Okay, I must’ve missed something big. Did he announce his decision yet?
no…he hasn’t…but if he has not announced…how will he be part of the debate tomorrow…
They set the rules so he could participate if he announces as late as tomorrow.
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/biden-could-participate-first-democratic-debate
and how prepared would he be for the debate
… and you know for sure he wouldn’t be prepared how? ;-)
so you think that anyone can walk in cold and just debate??…even PBO prepared for his debates
How do you know Joe isn’t preparing?
PF, I keep reading this thread between you and Dudette, looking for the punchline or “gotcha” from you because I can’t believe that you were serious with your doubt that our VP Joe would not be prepared - whenever he decides to join the race.
it started with me saying that i am bummed about the VP not being on the debate panel….
i believe that if he was planning to debate he would have announced before today…
i want him to be the BEST that he can be…have so much anxiety about this
Let’s just see what happens. It’ll be okay in the end. :-)
Plus he could blow off tomorrow’s debate and still run. There’s still hope.
That’s excellent. Thanks for sharing.
:-D
Alrighty then, I’m out for bit. Catch ya later! :-D
Hurry back! Good night for music, eh? :)
I’m out for the day - see you in the late times :)
Cops: S.C. toddler finds gun; shoots grandmother in back
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cops-south-carolina-toddler-finds-gun-shoots-grandmother-in-back/
Not to mention PBO had many more opponents in the initial stages - most of whom were more qualified than BS - and they were democrats.
…and if PBO could run again - Bernie would be a dot in the sand - or the flea in the room.
LOL - these idiots know very little about trajectories. PBO got better and stronger as the race went on because he started from a position of relative obscurity and built his way up from scratch. Sanders on the other hand is a decades-long Senator, starting from a position of name recognition, $$$ from gun lobby, Libertarian groups, etc, and thus he has already reached his peak. He has spent the last 6 years going on cable TV and yapping about every this and the other - even proposing to primary PBO in 2012. The trajectory for Sanders is that he will get weaker, and then FIZZLE OUT at the most critical moment.
But the #Feelthebern Stans don’t understand trends…or they do, and they’re so obsessed with PBO that they feel they must compare everything that Sanders does to what PBO accomplished back in 2008.
The constant PBO bashing is one of the primary reasons why a majority of Black people will never vote for Bernie. But, the BernieBots don’t seem to get that. A dem nominee cannot win without Black folks. Especially Black women. And everyone knows Black women feel very protective about PBO. I stated this fact on another so called liberal site and was surprised when they blocked me from ever commenting on the site again. The Bernie people have entered that scary territory where the teabaggers live. Liberal racists are fascinating.
Then why is his campaign saying he won’t win IA? Candidate Obama WON Iowa as i recall.
Good point, JoJo
Polls mean very little this early! Have the Bernie loyalists forgotten that Herman Cain was way up in
the polls? Actually, in some polls he was#1. But Cain never became the Republican nominnie. As far as I am concerned, Bernie Sanders is not a member of the Democratic Party. His enthusiastic supporters are primarily “Nedarites” and the so called progressive libertarians. I don’t think that the most loyal-and most dependable-base of the Democratic Party (and especially African Americans) is as enthused about Bernie Sanders as they eventually were about then Sen. Barack Obsma.
GE TOD.
Congrats JO’B on your Golden :star:
Thanks, Nena!
Ah, the twists and turns in the lives of the RWNJs:
There is no questioning Biden’s experience to govern, his qualifications to be president, his bona fides on good government or his ability to advance the interest of everyday Americans from the White House. It may well be why Biden is the only candidate who crosses the 50% mark among all voters on all four areas polled: leadership, trust, experience and empathy. Not a single other candidate from either party earns a majority of voters’ confidence on all four.
oh I so hope he chooses to run. I got a robo call from a Pac for Hillary to night to attend a watch party tomorrow night in DC… but of course I can’t go.. nor honestly do I really want to. If Joe runs I will work for him like I did for POTUS.
I’m gonna be so pissed if any of the dem candidates trash or distance themselves from President Obama in the debates tomorrow.
same here…
it should be interesting to see how the candidates handle the PBO bashing bait that CNN will surely put out there masquerading as a question
Amen.
Thanks PF for sharing this TPV piece. My question is why is Bernie Sanders identified as a Democrat? Did he officially join the Democratic Party when he decided to run for president? If that is the case, how come he still identifies himself as an independent in the Senate?
i am not at certain about this is working….for instance here in PA…it is a closed primary…even i wanted to vote for Bernie… as a DEM i could not
The tension around will he or won’t he is growing, that I’m sure about.
For the life of me I can’t understand how VP Biden’s right to do as he sees fit is somehow a transgression against the self-annointed rightful candidate.
He is the sitting and successful Vice President of the USA.
The press are now engaged in full assault as well. All because they can’t write their stupid horserace stories yet.
LOL. Sargent is a clintonite, I can understand his paranoia.
He’s been shilling that story for days. Poor guy.
I could care less about what self-anointed media pundits say. The 2016 presidential election is still more than a year away. If I remember correctly, in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy did not enter the presidential race until March. And VP Humphray announced his candidacy even much later. Neither RFK or HH competed in Iowa or, much more importantly, New Hampshire. Yet VP Hubert Humphrey, who was supported by the base of the Democratic Party, ended up being
the nominee.
That’s one of my earliest memories as a child, going with my mom to the polls during the Presidential election that year and watching her exit the polling place with a resigned and hopeless look on her face saying, “Well, I voted for Humphrey.”
My first political memory is of my aunt running through our front door screaming, “They killed him!” moments after RFK was assasinated. I was so young at the time, I don’t remember much else, but that moment Is burned into my memory.
“If we all spend enough time on our knees praying for each other,” Flores wrote, “we can heal our divisions and truly work together to restore America to the ‘Shining City on a Hill’ that Reagan frequently challenged us to become.”

god: rrriiight. pray away your collective incompetence and corruption, guyz. that’s the ticket.
Checked out the link and read all the tweets in the article but preferred not to retweet because it appears the Brown U frenzy has that Princess Diana level creepiness to it.
who took that picture? Some stalker it looks like…
Marriage to remember - from the link “Meeting the President even took the edge of the rest of the wedding”
But the MSM tells us he is unpopular - hahahahaha
so how is that deep bench working for ya, waterboy?
Since when did the US need a “message of liberty” - not sure if Rand knows where he is living.
