#BlackLivesMatter is having an impact on the national consciousness:
Roughly half of all Americans — 49% — say racism is a “big problem” in society today, according to a nationwide poll conducted by CNN and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The figure marks a significant shift from just four years ago, when slightly more than a quarter of Americans described racism that way. It’s also higher than in 1995, when 41% said racism was a “big problem.”
Morning TOD. Listening to NPR for the broadcast to come (here at work). They really are overly concerned with PBO’s “stridency” in his present approach to fighting IS. People are disappointed, want him to change course. IOW, war-mongers.
Not if Turkey Invokes the NATO governing rules.
Russia for months on end has been violating many Nation’s Air Space……including those of NATO Nations, specifically since their Crimea take over, right after the 2012 Winter Olympic Games.

Why would Turkey shoot down that Russian plane? I don’t know, maybe the question should be why was the plane in Turkey territory? Maybe they weren’t, who knows.
President Obama is not moved by polls, fearmongering or anything else the idiots throw at him. They need to be reminded of what BP Biden said: He has a spine of steel. He is not going to let them talk him into going to war like GWB did, and they can’t STAND it. They have no influence with him. He’s looking way down the road and doing what’s best for us and the world. They think they can change his mind; after seven years they should have learned something…….LOL
You are absolutely right, Carolyn. President Obama is so comfortable in his skin and he doesn’t have to prove his manhood by sending other people’s children to stupid wars.
5 Black Lives Matter protesters were shot Monday in Minneapolis. Police are looking for 3 white male suspects. https://t.co/LenIGtUzi8

The National News Media ignores this story.
They all rightfully reported on the 4th year Tulane Med Student who was shot. They reported on the pregnant lady killed in IN.
These 3 shooters cased the BLM protesters for days……MN has a Conceal and Carry Law since 2005, courtesy of Pawlenty.
Thank you for your tweet. I hope that Politico, Retug named Maggie Whatever gets hammered by many.
They are always covering for the GOPers. The Rightie Media Echo Chamber is at work 24/7.
2008, if that had happen at a Obama rally the media and the right wing racists haters would have never stop talking about that. That Maggie person is a bold face liar like Donald Trump.
I don’t see Matthew Dowd objecting when the GOP uses this kind of rhetoric against our President….but he was busy intervening on Trump’s behalf when Trump was appropriately likened to a facist.
Popping in late to say I LOVE the can-shaped cranberry sauce :-) It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without those can lines on that jellied cylinder jiggling on a plate. Ha ha, was so excited when Whole Foods began selling an organic version several years ago :-)
Remember this guys from 2012? And his reasoning was that he got a 5 on AP stats, so that made him a reliable prognosticator of the outcome of that election. What a royal fool…
@NolteNC my official prediction is Rom win: Wins NC+CO+FL+VA+IA+WI

Hey Neena-Weena! Thanks! :-)
THIS………………….IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL RIGHT HERE AND HE THINKS HE CAN FOOL EVERYONE!….

Hi edp!
I’m disappointed by those people who want my President to change who he is. Too bad none of them know squat. They can take a seat and STFU!
How you doing this morning? :-D
I’m with you on them STFU! Talk is damn cheap when you don’t hold the reins. I am just dandy, thanks !! :-)
:-)
I’m waiting for my President. :)

THE MEDIA HAS FLUNKED WITH A DEFINITE ‘F’…FILL IN THE BLANKS!

I totally agree with you !!
“President Obama is not moved by polls, fearmongering or anything else the idiots throw at him.”
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Jesus this is a fact.

Some folks don’t have a clue that sh*t is about to get REAL!
Honey, if I had a dime for every time I heard that one! :-D
CHILL SMITH IS JUST FINE AND LEAVINGK!
Two minute warning! :-)
Here is our President!!! :)
US News Media Failed, yet again.
They will reap what they have sown.
U.S. media, continually hound President Obama everywhere he goes, but they are afraid to confront the GOP fascists.
Here’s Luxemburg Garden that PBO just mentioned (there’s picture of him and FLOTUS kissing there beside their bed in the WH residence)
I sure hope so…..however, there are grizzly pictures of an executed Russian Pilot.
So Maggie NYT tried to compare Trump supporters with the Obama 2008 coalition. This woman is desperate and ridiculous….

the will say anything to keep from having to criticize #TheDonald….they will do anything to give his racist..nazi rhetoric cover…
President Hollande says President Obama was the first leader to call and express solidarity with France in the wake of the Paris attacks.
I’VE BEEN WATCHING HIM ON MSN…IF I HAD KNOWN HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO FACE ALL THIS GARBAGE…I WOULDN’T HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT…:(
Bite your tongue! John McCain as President? Hell naw! The earth would be a scorched nuclear wasteland by now!
I just had some ice cream. And I feel good.
Moral of the story: Eat more ice cream - feel BETTER! :) :) :)
I 2nd that!
I like your style, hf! I’ll lick to that! :-)
All Right……Go COSTCO!
Yay Costco!
LOL - Hey GOP/MSM, you can now take your fear-mongering “polls” and shove them where the sun don’t shine!
I don’t see Matthew Dowd objecting when the GOP uses this kind of rhetoric against our President….but he was busy intervening on Trump’s behalf when Trump was appropriately likened to a facist.
I LOVE MY PRESIDENT AND I PRAY HE AND HIS FIRST FAMILY HAVE A BLESSED AND SAFE THANKSGIVING……………………:)
Remember these ladies?
http://margaretandhelen.com/2015/11/23/2015-thanksgiving-letter-to-the-family/
Yes! Love ’em!
Is it just me or is Richard Engel an asshole? He should have his critical ass in the Congress.
He is an arse.. His having a job depends on constant international US conflict, so he loves to push that where it might not exist.
Well said hf.
No Chicken salad. I still <3 <3 <3 COSTCO!
me too….
Yikes! Glad I don’t eat “outside” chicken salad. Still love Costco too though.
Popping in late to say I LOVE the can-shaped cranberry sauce :-) It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without those can lines on that jellied cylinder jiggling on a plate. Ha ha, was so excited when Whole Foods began selling an organic version several years ago :-)
^5 MadameSoph! Give me my can rings or give me nothing! :-D
Well said, Dudette! That phrase should be on a monument somewhere :-)
:-D :-D :-D
So proud of our President.
THIS!

A fool and his ego…
