I needed this STOU so much!
Our President was so spot on with everything.
He wiped the floor with those stupid GOP in the most skillful way humanly possible.
I cried, smiled, and laugh as if I was watching a proud family member(which is very rare)…
I am so proud of him, his family and us for knowing a great moment, grasped it.
And we held on for our dear lives as well for those we love and care about.
This great great moment has made history, reclaimed history, rewrote history.
But most of all it revealed the one big simple difference between them and us is love and hate.
I chose LOVE.
The possibilities are endless. It helped to bring about the change and hope PBO first introduced us to seven years ago.
I am truly looking forward to meeting each of you face-to-face, hug-to-hug, tears-to-tears.
We are family!
It is time for a reunion. It is time for the next chapter in our blessed lives to continue this momentum with this loving, caring “citizen” of these United States of America.
It’s time for my brisk walk in Central Park.
To be continued……
I recall many here at TOD who said, if PO found a cure to cancer, the GOP would be pissed off … and I laughed thinking yea ok. They are not that stupid and the final SOTU happened. smdh!
I LOVE MY ENERGIZER PRESIDENT AND MY SWEET AND DOWN TO EARTH JOE….LOVE WINS…ALWAYS! LET THE NAYSAYERS BEAT THEMSELVES TO A PULP WITH THEIR OWN ANIMOSITY………………AND YES…I BEGAN THIS MORNING WITH A PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE ON MY FB……………………SAFE JOURNEY TODAY MR. SMOKIN’ SHOES! I HOPE TO SEE SOME OF THAT BUT HAVE ERRANDS LATER…PLEASE DEAR LORD…WATCH OVER OUR PRESIDENT!
A 13-year-old boy’s passion for making electronic toys in Somalia has won him local fame and a free education.
Guled Adan Abdi, from the northern town of Buhodle, taught himself how to make plastic toys from bits of discarded objects, and then worked out how to motorise them by studying real cars.
“I started making toys when I was younger,” he told the BBC Somali Service.
“I used to play with them without any motor. But later I said to myself: ‘Why don’t you make them into a moving machine?’
“So I looked at the cars in the town and invented my toys with the same design.”
So far, he has constructed four electronic toys, including a truck and a plane, mainly using plastic from old cooking oil containers.
He has also invented a fan that can be used as a light at night.
It was when you made a $20K bet with Chips that you would be FURST on the next thread. And they both agreed “hmmm…that’s a tiny amount for amk!” They were expecting it to be a LOT HIGHER!!! :):):)
This is when they hosted the Queen for dinner at Winfield House in London and they were waiting for her to arrive. Maybe just joking around with the press?
WILL BBL…TO CHECK ON PBO’S TRAVELS…HIS SPEECH?….I’M SPEECHLESS…WORDS AREN’T ENOUGH!…DUTY WITH DIRTY DISHES CALLS…NO HOUSEFAIRY HERE..MUST BE ME!..LOL!..<3
“:..clearly the consequences of Obama not mentioning the incident in his SOTU are plain for all to see this morning.”
Brings to mind the 2011 WHCD.
These warmongers really expect an apology from Iran…for doing what we would have done had the situation been reversed?!?!?!?
Anything to give the perception that Obama is weak. [smh]
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if quite a few navy heads start rolling quietly in the coming days. I am of the view this was deliberately done to embarrass him.
That wouldn’t surprise me either, AMK. They’ve been conspiring since PBO first took office. What makes us think they’ll let him have a final year where they would actually do the right thing and stop trying to undermine him.
I mean you know you are patrolling a known dangerous area and you don’t check your boats beforehand? It’s either a conspiracy or incompetency. Both grounds for dismissal.
Yup!
Thanks amk for saying what I thought last night.
And just before I turned off my sound last night, a couple of commentators stated how surprised they were that PBO did not mention the captured boats, yet, nothing this morning - HA!
Did ya catch the morose faces all the military head honchos? I mean, you don’t have to cheer your own commanding officer, how about staying neutral instead of scowling. MIC is itching for wars, which is their bread & butter.

re: amk post upthread on Cruz and Trump:

Last month saw an article behind a (WSJ?) paywall that Luntz proclaimed that Trump supporters are motivated by VENGEANCE (I responded at the time, asking what they seek vengeance against [the obvious answer is that they seek vengeance against a successful Black President…)
GOP paralyzed by dysfunction, alienates all voters who don't seek "vengeance" against @BarackObama. cc: @FrankLuntz https://t.co/tneuF2kDAB
[OT, but I cracked a giggle. Huh? The picture w/ the article says it all. Relics Galore!]
Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of News Corporation, and the former model Jerry Hall got engaged over the weekend and announced their pending nuptials Tuesday in the classifieds of a newspaper he owns.

Trolls out there screaming their empty heads off. PBO let them know we know exactly who they are and what they are doing. They will fail. <3 Mornin' y'all. <3
@JebBush This silly tweet is a fine example of why YOU will never be President.

I mean…look at this nonsense from so-called Presidential candidates. Their stunning ignorance on all matters related to FP is mind-boggling, and should be a wake-up call for any US voter or global citizen who is serious about this country or the planet we live in.
The GOP spawned Trump. They speak with fork tongues; one side they talk about God and inclusion and the other side hate and division. And the only thing the MSM wanted to talk about last night is whether the president is to blame for the division in congress and the country. These people are so ill.
I LOVE MY PRESIDENT!

Thank you for bringing these stories!!! We won’t hear these stories in any of our news outlets.

Lol
LOL. I would very much like to know what brought those facial reactions.
It was when you made a $20K bet with Chips that you would be FURST on the next thread. And they both agreed “hmmm…that’s a tiny amount for amk!” They were expecting it to be a LOT HIGHER!!! :) :) :)
it’s always about money with you, isn’t it?
With ME?!?!?
Uhm… :) :)
yes, YOU. I never talk about the evil thing.
Hahahahahaha - she got you amk :D :D
This is when they hosted the Queen for dinner at Winfield House in London and they were waiting for her to arrive. Maybe just joking around with the press?
I HOPE THEY ALL GET RASHES…IN THE GROIN AREA…WHERE THEIR BRAINS ARE LOCATED!
Can you be a little more blunt, Sue? :-D :-D :-D

Yup!
Thanks amk for saying what I thought last night.

Exactly.
no wonder the entire obama team has complete contempt for the corrupt media.
I heard this morning that her dress sold out online last night before the State of the Union ended! :D :D
She always looks fabulous in his clothes.
LOL - I notice that Snowden hasn’t posted anything since Dec 30th. What’s holding him back? LOL!
