Bye Chips 😘
WordPress looking and acting weird!
FURST.
Eat your heart out, don.
I’m bringing my question over, amk.
I saw PM Modi at the G20, what is India’s position on taking in refugees?
last thread.
ok
The effects of having a heart to heart with PBO
Don’t understand how there is so much criticism against PBO. What happened to supporting your country? The president is the representative of the people. Thanks to Chips for this site and relief from the constant negativity. Every expert on TV is spouting nonsense. They could all do better. Makes me sick.
For lesser beings, failed thinkers, RWNJs, haters, and racists: Success breeds contempt.
For the rest of us, who respect, admire, and appreciate the President, we cherish the fact that, every day President Obama is the helm: Success breeds success.
Hell, even though that’s not our ship in the photo, I want to slap a “Mission Accomplished” banner on it!
Ha!
Hahahahaha! J’OB
Failed humanitarians
Exactly! You said it in two words.
And they make me sick too. PBO is damned if he do…..and damned if he don’t. But i’m here to tell you, that PBO is the best President. He’s a man with passion and compassion, for People whoever and wherever they are. So what’s wrong with having passion and compassion for others??? That’s the spirit that i look for in people, caring, fair and just :-)
Those are the qualities which separate the great (PBO) from the average ( ) or below average ( ) fill in the blanks.
THE ENERGIZER IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY…HE IS FIGHTING EVIL…HE NEEDS TO STAY WITH HIS HEART…WE KNEW THAT WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE IN 2008!
Someone’s world view just turned upside down and inside out:)
PUTIN WANTS ALLIES BECAUSE HE IS AFRAIID ISIS IS COMING AFTER HIM…PANTS ON FIRE!
OR…HE’S FAKING IT AND PLANS TO DROP ONE ON US…IT COULD GO EITHER WAY BECAUSE HE IS A SNAKE!..IT’S CALLED DISTRACTION…MY BET IS HE PLANS A DROP ON THE UNITED STATES..HOW ABOUT YOU?
I WOULD BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS..THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY GAMES HERE!
THERE IS TOO MUCH ERRATIC BEHAVIOR HERE…INDICATIVE OF SOMEONE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING…CYA WH!
Not first, but a respectable 6th or 7th.
This is what happens when you have a President that engages the world in a common goal. Humanity.
i feel happy about what you said…df…the President…following his North Star
This should be sent to every single RWNJ coward Gov that said they would refuse these refugees.

I STAND WITH RAND!!!!
Is that even statically possible?
When you have 13 or 14 candidates running all for the same office it sure can happen. Paul, Christie, Graham, Pataki and Kasick all probably need to drop out because their zero to 4 percent is siphoning off support for Bush, Cruz and Rubio. That would be logical and they will probably come January start to get pressured to drop out but I hope they fight it and stay in until the bitter end. Keep it a mess on their side and spread that support out so that it looks like only Trump and Carson are the major players in that primary.
Yes.
At times these polling samples are of 285-600 people for GOPers.
For Dems, they use 250-400.
Fabulous tweet.
Jeb Bush loses TV ad edge to Marco Rubio
Rubio’s campaign is getting twice the ads for half the price of Bush’s super PAC, undercutting his rival’s cash advantage.

Sheer incompetence seems to run in the family.
You can’t fight with genes.
No question who is #1. :bear:
Awesome!
Good Morning TOD
I was listening to a progressive radio show yesterday and someone called in with a question that has gave me pause. The question was how do you vet people who are fleeing from a country that does not have a viable government? Syria is apparently a mess and the government structure is under seize and almost half of the country is trying to flee from the tyranny there so who are the American government contacting in Syria in order to vet the refugees? It was actually quite a civil discussion and with me not knowing much about how refugees are vetted I thought this was a good question. It seems to me if we can insure to the public that there is a viable vetting process then most of their fears would or could be abated.
There is Donna.
It takes 18-24 months before any refugee is admitted to the USA. That is why since the war in Syria started…..roughly 2000 were admitted.
They use the UN and Our own Methodology. When they are not able to verify, they don’t allow any refugees in. The US News Media has refused to educate…..Instead, they have ginned up fear, spew 26 Govs saying No to the Syrian refugees…….even though, Constitutionally speaking, the Govs have ZERO power to deny any legally OKed Immigrant or Refugee to freely move about the 50 States.
Thanks Nena!

Stunning photo to start my morning.
Thank you, Chips!
In the drum beat of war-mongering and Obama-bashing by the usual lunatics and profiteers
Here is something to keep in mind:
ISIS’s territory has been reduced by 25% thanks to American led bombing.
Again—ISIS has 25%—1/4 less land than that which they were occupying 4 months ago.
Large areas have been freed from ISIS control.
That is what President Obama meant by “contained.” Our strategy is effective and all the negativity is empty noise.
Just finished listening to the soundtrack for Hamilton.
I loved it!
Man, I wish I could see it on Broadway.
Oh lordy JER! How do you expect me to get any work done now? I’m too busy studying this picture - every detail of his face, tie, suit,
;)
Check out the article. There are more pictures.
and smile…..a smile that could melt a million hearts. (GOP excepted)
Sounds like the essay writer is contemptuous of our PBO…
Love this!
Looks like they’re giving a tongue-bath to Trump-loving Tom Brady. Not shocking.
Good Morning TOD Family.
This is another day that we are blessed to have President Obama leading our country.
We got a dump of snow yesterday. Woke up this morning to sunshine and the snow melting, but another dump is expected later today. Going to my volunteer job today, should be able to make it home before the next snowfall. In the meantime, the hubster has promised to vacuum and clean the bathrooms. Life is good.
I wish you could have heard the black Congressman defending POTUS from all the criticizing he is getting from the Republicans and the stupid ass media concerning
The venom against Syrian Refugees is digusting. It is hard not to hate these republicans scumbags
Note in Aug 2015 when that nearly 3yrs old was washed off the coast of Greece……The US Media, GOPers running for office, etc were chiding Pres Obama to take in more Refugees. Less than 3 months later, the Politics cheered by the US Media is a 180 to attack Pres Obama.
So! Who cares?
All I know is I didn’t watch 60 Minutes.
Or Paul Ryan.
<3
Great interview. Don’t skip the video at the end! It’s funny AND moving.
Ah, it’s a gem Meta, just added it to the post, thank you!!!
Oh, super cool!!
Seriously, Hillary campaign, no one stopped you from sending an email from Bill Clinton whose subject line reads, “I think we should meet, Faith.” Seriously?!?!
:lol: I hope there are no Monicas on their mailing list.
This sickens me.
