TV coverage? I’m going to look
YES- on C-SPAN schedule listed as 5:00 ET
Love that!!
Congrats Vicki on your Au :star:
She is so gorgeous. Just breathtaking.
TY Nena
It’s a FULL house for sure!

Hay Trump this is the crowd from a boring lame duck President.
Yes, bella, exactly. Ha ha ha
LOVE THIS!!! What a great story.
I hope 72 hours of a mourning period is long enough after the Vikings played to bring up the game….freaking Blair Walsh used to destroy us every year when Georgia would play Auburn…I was so pissed for you and the hopes of being able to play the Packers/Washington winner (both of who got destroyed by the Panthers already this year)
It’s too soon!!!!! 😫😥😢. I’m convinced Minnesota will never win a Super Bowl in my lifetime. Congrats to your Panthers though - keep knockin’ ’em down!! Seattle will wish they had lost to the Vikes lol.
I’m so freaking nervous, Forus!!! When Carolina had two 80 yrd drives to win in Seattle this year it was early in the season and they let Greg Olsen run wild…now they have Bobby Wagner back for this game and Jeremy Lane too (they cut Carey Williams after the Panthers torched him) …My best case scenario is somehow beat Seattle and avoid AZ by GB miraculously winning :???:
It was a pretty sorry loss. I think I was in shock for a good 15 minutes. I remember when Gary Anderson sometimes blew a game and he was one awesome kicker.
Ya that one may sting for a while, but I don’t think as Viking fan you could have imagined Bridgewater taking the squad and winning the NFC North in year two…so much upside and talent on your roster. Chin Up, Roberta!
WOW…I can just imagine the atmosphere in there must be electric!!!
This President is loved. Not surprising at all that people are still packing in auditoriums to see him.
PBO knows how to savor the moment and to know how to appreciate life. This man came from very humble beginnings , nothing was given to him, he worked hard, and makes each moment count.
HERE HE IS - and the crowd ERUPTS in deafening APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They Love Him Just Like I Love Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed donna. :) The thunderous applause he received was so moving.
Enjoy your victory laps on the road, .@POTUS! You’ve earned them.
Ha!
Someone yelled “four more years!” LOL :)
And I totally agree.
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Just four? What about 8?
YES! YES! YES!
How about the ones you see at Sanders rallies?
I love this picture!!!
Huckabee Spars With Woman Over His Defense Of Duggar Family In Iowa (VIDEO)
Then he threw her out …..

Funny how Rightwingers are always yammering on about free speech and yet they don’t allow dissenters to exercise their freedom of speech in their presence.
YAAAAY…I MADE IT!
I AM SO GLAD HE SAW HIM…NOW WOLF BLITZER WILL HAVE TO WASH HIS MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP!
Wolf Blitzer can kiss my Democratic ass!
so yet another msm poutrage pregasm exposed.
People may forget that because of the way Nebraska awards Electoral Votes, President Obama almost got one extra vote from Omaha (the reason he campaigned late there in ’08) but he was smoking Romney so bad in ’12 they didn’t make a big effort late.
Lovely. I can hear the excitement.
HE HAD A SAD LOOK ON HIS FACE EARLIER WHEN HE WAS LEAVING THE ARENA…HE WOULD RUN AGAIN IF WE COULD GET MICHELLE TO CHANGE HER MIND AND TWEET THE CONSTITUTION….JUST SAYIN’!!!
YOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSER>>>> :D
Ah yes, I remember it well. One and only time a (D) got the Omaha electoral vote.
Obamaha, indeed.
That’s how I’d behave in his presence. I’d lose my everlasting mind. LOL.
lololololol
This reminds me of the first time I saw him back in 2008. Nothing but love and hope.
OMG! LOVE IT!
I am loving this big arena moment.
Like the SOTU but without the GOP. No smirking Ryan.
PBO is relentless and repeating his anti Trump/Cruz points.
OMG “It’s not serious its—starts with a B——baloney”
So, this tour will highlight how false and empty the GOP rhetoric is.
As I said, i am Loving this.
Loving this right along with you, Vicki! :) This is the kind of ‘campaigning’/teaching by Pres O that (I hope) will wake up the quiet, (majority) intelligent core of the USA.
GE VC.
The year is only beginning.
By the time the November election rolls around, we’ll all be savoring PBO on his last campaign trail, and his supporters will be out in force! The MSM won’t know what him them, they’ll still be “reporting” on GOP last gasps.
May even see some 2008-sized crowds (remember Portland OR and St Louis MO) — by deed PBO will show just how irrelevant highly-paid MSM pundits are (who basically only talk among themselves).
So sorry I missed this event, but it’s downright thrilling to catch up. Get chills when I hear “Hail to the Chief” greeting PBO’s beaming face and seeing him interact with the crowd and locals (especially the children).
There’s no substitute to seeing PBO on the road, in local neighbors, stopping at local cafes and shops.
Just the start of 2016, can’t wait for the rest of the year!
Hi, Arapaho! I do believe you ( + Zizi….and others here) are correct that PBO is going to show, or remind, many voters what citizenship entails. I too cannot wait!
Guess PBO on the road has me too excited. Sorry about the typos, but you get the gist.
So grateful to be able to share with you and TODville this historic year (typos and all :oops: ).
Typos can’t stand in the way of PBO progress! :D
THEY WANT HIM 4 MORE YEARS…..I THINK THESE AMERICANS ARE READY TO TOSS OUT ALL THE OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES!
I LOVE TO SEE HIM TREATED THE WAY HE DESERVES TO BE TREATED. THEY HAVE SEEN THE REPUGNANT OPTIONS OUT THERE……………………….
“That doesn’t make us strong.”
“That doesn’t help us fight terrorism.”
Destroying Trump, his hatred and insults. Go, President Obama, Go!!!!!!
THE ENERGIZER BEAR IS DEFINITELY ON THE LOOSE!
“WHOEVER REPLACES ME”…HE SAYS……………………….SORRY PBO…YOU…CANNOT BE REPLACED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
W
POTUS: ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CITIZENSHIP. VOTE, SPEAK OUT.
Look like someone wish they could be running for President again.
I DO BELIEVE SO!
That was my thought too ;) It must be great to be carried on a wave of love and joy like that, given what he deals with daily.
THIS BRINGS IT ALL BACK…MEET ME IN THIS LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS!!!!…GO PBO…! I LOVE MY ENERGIZER PRESIDENT WITH THE SMOKIN’ SHOES!
oh he is just so amazing! I swear if he can have this awesome full on excellent attitude then so can we all. And “raw men” lol!
Rally over.
You may have gray hair, Mr. President, but you have not lost a single step.
Still just as magical as ever. February, 2007 until now, that icy day when you announced your candidacy. incomparable.
OMG, POTUS has not lost a single beat. He commanded that room like is was his to own!!!! LOVED this energy and response to him. BRAVO!!!!
“Yes, there were more important things to think about than a dress. But Michelle Obama put her wardrobe where Barack Obama’s message was.”
At State of The Union Michelle Obama wears her optimism for all to see.
Citrus orange is my favorite color — looks like liquid gold with splashes of honey and amber on gorgeous @FLOTUS.
Loved this tweet (RT’ing tweet to you as well).
Idiots all. They have no business anywhere near the White House and are completely unqualified to be our President.
OMG, too cool!!

He is surrounded by people just like he’s on a campaign trail. It’s so nice that he receives this love and adoration <3
I became emotional when he took longer to leave the stage after he finished speaking. This time, he waved slower and longer from one end of the stage to the other and turning around waving and clapping. I know what he's doing - he's searing this image in his memory bank.
Our POTUS is a very sentimental man. It’s so moving to see him recognize these moments in his own way but it does choke me up, too.
I noticed that, too, Gail.
Long goodbye.
LOL.
Isn’t fricken nebraska fricken supposed to be a fricken ‘red state’? fricken kenyan. fricken obots. fricken four more years.
THEY WERE SWOONING.
GM amk.
PBO has urban areas (like Omaha) and college towns sewn up, even in the deep South — seem to recall the electoral maps from 2008 had blue dots around the major cities in just about every state, even when they were surrounded by red.
I’ve never been to Omaha, but (liberal) Warren Buffet was nurtured there, and Omaha’s electoral vote did go to PBO in 2008.
Inspired by their warm, effusive welcome for PBO.
Traditionally, Omaha strongly leans Democrat. It’s the rest of Nebraska that make the state red.
BEEN THERE WAITING..INDIANA STATE FAIRGROUNDS………….:)..HE’S WORTH ALL THE WAIT!
JUST KEEP HIM SAFE…THAT’S ALL I CARE ABOUT!….I’LL BE HOME ALL DAY TOMORROW SO I CAN KEEP UP ON HIS EVENTS!
Louisiana. What kind of police dog is this?
this is not the kind of police dog I was expecting … but may be appearances are deceptive
HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT EVERYONE…I’M GOING TO SEE WHO I CAN RUBBER DART ON MY FLATSCREEN..RIGHT NOW THE DONALD LOOKS LIKE A TOILET PLUNGER!…..HUGS!!!!!
LOL. The metaphorical images you cook up are hilarious.
Have a good night, Sue!
ROTFLMAO! :)
For the past ~24h I’ve been reflecting on all that we heard from President Obama yesterday during #SOTU16 and what one tweet I could composed to express my gratitude for all he and his family have done for America and the world.
#FORWARD Together
Yes WE Can
Beautiful sentiment, as usual, Bob! (Sob.)
Bobfr, you speak for me. Beautifully said.
Look at how adorable the girls are (of course they’re stunning young ladies now, but just so cute in this photo).
Great choice of pics, Bobfr, great tweet. :)
Thank you very much Jacqueline, nospin & arapaho!
Good night TOD …
#TrustBarack
The reason the Republicans have adopted a strategy of spreading fear, anger, cynicism and distrust is because that form of engaged democracy is the biggest threat to their interests. And so yes, as some commentators noticed last night, the President returned once again to his theme of hope and change. The reason he has been able to maintain that position after these long seven years of frustration with their tactics is that he doesn’t look to politicians as the source of that hope. His focus is elsewhere.
Our wonderful First Lady birthday is Sunday January 17th.
Wow! Looks like she’s gone all in! Somebody talked to her.
What with the ‘hard working’ murkans are now either trumpistas or bernistas, O coalition is the only hope for her.
GE Dudette.
Always one step ahead of everyone else, PBO set the agenda for the year with his NYTimes Op-Ed that made it clear that he will bring the excitement and commitment of Dem voters to only those candidates to stand behind him.
DWS is no longer calling the shots in 2016, so we won’t have that 2014 midterm nonsense of shying away from PBO and his accomplishments. Most Dem candidates realize that PBO is the only person with coattails to motivate the Obama coalition to re-take the Senate and Congress and maintain the Presidency.
Working on a post, it’ll be done soon-ish
When? How? Why? What?
Watched cable news off and on, a bit, during the day. But not until coming to TOD just now was I reminded of the President’s tour! Thank you so much, Chips!

Isn’t 757 supposed to be bigger than 747?
You would think, but with Boeing, who knows their rationale…their numbering system is a bit odd.
Anyway, the most important point is that if I win the Powerball tonight, I’m buying Mark Knoller enough bags of freshly-baked Dunkin donuts to fit in his own private 747! :)
heh!!! whatev happened to me furst???
I’ll buy you your very own 797!
so, in short, not.gonna.happen?
I bought tickets!
Yay. Guess we won’t be seeing anytime soon?
.
thought so.
Why is Mark on the list ahead of me (and my pal, Amk)? Are you hoping to wipe him out with a sugar high?
Vc I thought of you and amk first and foremost. Then I thought of the vast space in the 747, and what it would take to fill it up. And then I thought of Knoller since he posted the original tweet. And basically, I just didn’t think it would be right to give you or amk so many bags of donuts - enough to fill a mega-jet!
I say ‘too much thinking’. Forget Mark for now - he needs to be around for the next year to count the President’s blinks. Give me (and my bud) our portion …. in fact, literally give me both portions, and I’ll be sure he gets his.
my bud???
Did I say ‘bud’? Petal, petal….I meant my…I mean Chips’…. petal. /shrug/ I was never good at biology.
that’s better.
In the words of a friend …#pickypickypicky
lurnt from the best. :D
here you go again.
Yes. I *am* going now!
say gunnite amk.
Why are you leaving at the same time?
Why? Are you leaving at the same time?
Why are *you* leaving at the same time?
(forgot the damn code)
#*good night*
I’m outta here!
YOU LIE
