This is such a Tremendous Happening….tremendous!!
Congrats on #1, PF58.
Still remember how excited everyone here was when PBO spoke to Iran President Hassan Rouhani several years ago. That was so much fun.
The excitement continues.
GOP, RWNJs and MSM won’t catch a break this year, rather will be gasping for breath.
Hope they don’t expire from lack of air.
Congratulations on your first place.
AMEN!!! congrats on 1st.
Almost beats being furst on TOD :) - wtg pf
Yes Indeed, prettyfoot58! This is a historical diplomatic achievement!
GA TODville.
John Kerry just said we’ll be hearing from PBO soon.
:)
Must. Not. Miss. This. :bear:
And thank you for all the tweets NW - great way to see the news - all on one page
You’re welcome, 99ts! :)
Thanks a traaaaaaaaazillion Nerdy!!
You’re welcome, Chiparooooooooooo! :)
Great tweets, Nerdy Wonka! Thank you for your fearless support of President Obama.
Thanks so much, Nath! :)
Posted this morning, when I was in “comment and go” mode (and thought “A day to remember” referred to #ImplementationDay and the freed Americans).
From yesterday, John Kerry’s schedule this week will leave your head spinning…
<3 Oh, happy day! <3 Keep the Light flowing, all around you, all around others, all around PBO, SOS Kerry, PM Zarif, they will feel it. They will. <3
Fabulous news. Amazing how we can lead through diplomacy, isn’t it? Always proud of our President and Sec. Kerry. Go!
I just canceled my evening plans.
Do not want to miss President Obama’s comments tonight. What a day this has been!
GA swbluega.
Paging MP, the stars must be aligned — historic first flower matches @FLOTUS’ SOTU dress!
#SpaceFlower
Man in the Moon Marigold:) Perfect OPI nail color:)
Perfect!
If the media could not use GOP talking points…they would not know what questions to ask…..what does that say about the state of journalism
I so try not to think about the fools - but my brain is waiting for them to start attacking the prisoners who have been released - I’m sure they will be searching in every direction for the negatives on these events
i hope not
I hope not too pf - but someone will probably try.
Excellent tweet, VC! All peace loving people are breathing a sigh of relief because of the steadfast diplomacy by POTUS and his team.
{{{Nathk}}} Hi N, it’s been a while! Best wishes for 2016!
Thank you VC! Best wishes to you and your family for a happy and prosperous 2016!
:) Thanks, we’re off to a great start!
GOP candidates can continue to blow hot air, but they’re gonna be trampled by American companies eager to do business in Iran. ;)
WTF! Are you shitting me! Can’t wait for the Chamber of Commerce to tell the Republicans to sit the fuck down.
You’re always right, Don.
yep yep.
Boom Boing Bam!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, BABY! :) :) Sit the hell down! This should be good!!
Obama has made us weak, well if we had listen to the Republicans we would had bomb Iran and started another war possible. So now do the American people want another war or successful diplomacy?
people are the greatest asset of a nation
Absolutely!
For any supporter of President Obama this should seal their vote in the primary:
Motherfucker please, whatever.
Dang, he’s turning into Nader 2.0 — if Bernie hands the presidency to GOP I will never forgive him.
I think it was Cruz this week who was crowing that 4-5 SCOTUS appointments will be made by President 45.
The headline is very misleading - there is NO media that doesn’t support the GOP and its anti the president theme
Well then, I am not voting for Bernie Sanders because I want a Democrat who wants to continue PRESIDENT Obama’s legacy.
My choice is also dependent on who might best continue PBO’s policies. That is why I was liking Martin best, but no chance there so probably Hilary although I still think she goes for whatever policy will get her the best poll count.
why? POTUS or VPOTUS isn’t running. Not much left in terms of an option
First it was the Cuba markets, and now its the Iranian markets. President Obama should be named “Business person of the year.”
So true.
If GOP would get off their butts and approve TPP, their corporate donors would really be pleased.
Indeed!
INDEED…..I AM SO PROUD OF JOHN KERRY AND ALLOF HIS TIRELESS EFFORTS ALONG WITH ALL TEAM MEMBERS WHO HAVE WORKED TOWARD THIS GOAL…SO PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENT AND HOPE TO SEE HIM SOON…PUTTING THE NAYSAYERS ON IGNORE AND WILL FILE THEM WITH A LUMPY BOX OF CAT LITTER…WHICH IS STILL TOO GOOD FOR THEM!
Outstanding tweet! Bravo!
What a week!! Aloha TOD and a big thank you to all of you, for your excellent reports this week. From the SOTU to the Iran hostage release, our president has just kept the momentum revving, with hardly a breath between powerful announcements. As usual, by the time I get here, the news is made, and all I can do is applaud, smile, and praise <3
Here is a link I've posted before, regarding the flower lei worn by MLK and his close associates. Just a reminder of the world-wide scope and vision of this great leader. http://www.allhawaiinews.com/2012/01/why-did-rev-martin-luther-king-jr-wear.html
awww….. Joe haz a sad. boo hoo hoo
JUST REMEMBER…JOE IS THE SAME FOOL WHO SUPPORTED GEORGE W…..GOES TO SHOW WHERE THE INTELLIGENCE IS LOCATED! IF REPUBLICANS TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY THEY WILL BLOW IT UP BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO DARNED STUPID TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DIPLOMACY…!! THIS MEANS TRUMP WILL HAVE TO ORDER NEW HAIR!
St. Ronnie did it when he told them to release hostages and we’ll give you weapons to use against us.
Yep…but we weren’t scared then. But then again, they kinda kept that to themselves, didn’t they.
Go ahead and speak TRUTH, Michael Cohen! I am so sick of these right wing hypocrites who worship Ronald Reagan and despise President Obama. Thanks Swbluega for sharing this spot-on tweet!
The truth is Joe Scarborough and these Republicans don’t want to admit that President Obama is a success. It kills them to say something positive so they are coming up with negative things. Pitiful hateful Republicans. This President is a success and it kills you.
To them, it must be a weakness to admit that you’re wrong or that you made a mistake. Instead, they just double down and ignore the reality that is staring them in the face.
hmm, wasn’t he a previous congressman? what a juvenile thing to say.
I’m assuming this was a bit of sarcasm aimed at the #IranDeal detractors…they’re crying the sky is falling because of the sanctions being lifted but seem to have inconveniently lost their memory regarding the Iran Contra Scandal.
JOE IS JEALOUS MY DEAR…HE IS ENVIOUS OF THIS PRESIDENT….LIKE SO MANY OF THESE OTHER REPUGNANT FOOLS!
Got the grand total of 45 retweets - and the replies are epic. BWD says it all.
Good evening TODVille.
This lame duck President makes things happen even on long weekends!
HillaryCinton wants to take a lil credit for the Iran Nuclear Deal…So Be It…but it is POTUS Foreign Policy…wonder if she would be crowing if it had failed
Success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan.
like that
Very profound!!!
Would be grateful if you (or anyone) could say what she said on this.
Thanks.
i heard a statement that was read on MSNBC…she commended the President on his success…and she said that she was happy for the role she played..
Sounds reasonable to me - she is running for President & is supporting PBO unlike most other candidates
mmm - “urges new sanctions” - that doesn’t sound so reasonable - thanks for the link pf - sounds like an ew bet - does she really think that will get her any votes??
as PBO stated at the time of the deal…that other sanctions that the US has on Iran re: other issues are still in effect….you would think that the media and others would know this
What the media “know” and what they report are poles apart. The enablers of the RWNJs - ever since they supported the Bush Lies way back when.
It’s for their ballistic missiles testing program but that seems like a conflation of two different issues. I retract my complement that HRC’s statement was reasonable
None of them seem to be able to simply say - thank you PBO - like that’s too hard - even for a dem?
I’ll have to read more on this - tweet further down says ballistic missile sanctions still stand. Not sure I trust yahoo with its reporting - then again - I don’t trust any US media with its reporting.
The urges new sanction part of Hilary’s praise falls into wanting best poll numbers or wanting it both ways. PBO has a vision and keeps doing everything to forward his vision. Hillary has a platform she feels will get her enough votes to win, but will change it as needed not risking losing votes IMO.
It sounds reasonable to me too
Don’t read the comments if you are squeamish!
in case some folks don’t know what to say…listen to Nancy Pelosi
Great news. Great Obama Day! #ObamaValues
C U later.
These men try to intimidate the women…shame
if i was ever at an event like that i’d loudly proclaim those are clearly NOT “good guys with guns,” and that I feel unsafe and call police and/or physically remove them. just standing my ground against bad people after all.
I WOULD HAVE ASKED THOSE BOYS WHY THEY WERE SO AFRAID OF THE WOMEN THEY FELT THEY HAD TO ARM THEMSELVES!
Only way such men want every woman - at gunpoint. Would call them animals - but would have to apologize to the animals
Yes! Yes! Yes!
http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2016/01/president-obama-is-singing-song-in-our.html
It’s happened again…like so many times during the Obama era. Just when I get down about where things seem to be going in this country, we learn about the work President Obama and Secretary Kerry have been doing to negotiate the release of prisoners in Iran (check out that link for some fascinating details).
This kind of thing has happened so often that when I get discouraged, I actually hear a little voice inside my head saying, “hold on…something good is going to happen soon to reignite your hope.” That is President Obama’s legacy at work in my brain.
So that piece of crap Donald Trump said that he is glad the prisoners are free, but they should not have been held captive for so so long. Trump need to shut his racists big mouth.
Goes to show Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP have the wrong temperment to be President. They do not have the patience or understanding necessary to use diplomacy over hot headed reactive physical warlike responses. Remember when BHO was campaigning against HRC saying he was right for the job as he had the necessary temperment for the presidency? Proven!
X2 OG - well said
Is our President due to make a statement this evening? I thought I had heard something aobut it earlier.
the media keeps saying it…but no time has been announced
I am going totally off topic now.
Some time ago we learned that PBO’s favorite TV show this year was The Knick. I said I’d taped it and when I’ve seen it i would comment.
So, here goes.
My guess is that the President loved this show because it celebrates Science. Science as an expression of human curiosity and creativity.
It is set in NYC back around 1920 in a hospital, the Knickerbocker, which gives the show its name. Medicine was pretty primitive then.
But people are always the same.
So you have the very rich manipulating everything,, entirely corrupt, and still coming out on top. (boooo)
Racism is confronted head-on when a highly talented black surgeon arrives. ( Happy ending on this thread. yay)
The hero Clive Owen is a drug addict and wildly talented and creative surgeon. pretty much invents the spinal block still used for easing childbirth. I won’t give away the ending.
For me— definitely not my favorite show. not even close. Way too rough and real and grim and gross.
But, i think i get why POTUS admires it. maybe.
president obama and john kerry are easily in the top tier of people to hold their jobs. wow!!
Hahahaha
Just before I went to bed Knoller was tweeting that the President had nothing planned for the weekend - guarantees a big announcement
And the dimwits blame the President for the deadlock in congress - so obvious who refuses to negotiate and it sure isn’t the President.
Also, John Kerry deserves accolades for the work he does - I remember thinking since forever Sec of State is next to the hardest job on the planet. Every CEO who accepts their millions should study Sec Kerry to see what it is like to earn your pay.
So the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Have I seen the slogan on these signs before? Let me think…….
Check out Sanders profile page :shock:
https://twitter.com/BernieSanders
Not very innovative in their thinking…sort of telling as to whether he can maintain the forward momentum of the progress that PBO has made.
Yes, Bob. Kerry and his team have worked their asses off for this day.
JUST CHECKING IN….HOPING TO SEE PBO PEEKING AROUND THE CORNER! I HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT GLUED TO THE FLATSCREEN..WAITING…TAPPING FEET…FIDGETING…WATCHING….ANY NEWS? IS HE COMING OUT????….JUST NOSEY HERE!
yup, don’t give a shite about the thugs & msm minions, what the prisoners (yes, not ‘hostages’) did or did not say etc.
IT’S A BLESSED MOMENT IN HISTORY………………….TOO MANY IN THIS COUNTRY NO LONGER FEEL COMPASSION AND IT CERTAINLY SHOWS.
LOL. Best smackdown of ted crud and god botherers.
Good one!!!
I suppose God works in mysterious ways! He has chosen to work through President Obama because he knows that he is a good a man, unlike all those evil and envious people who unfairly despise him all the time.
My Brother’s Keeper….
“WHERE WE ALL NEED TO BE”…SINCERELY, GOD
great show of kindness to another - the world as it should be ;
thanks for sharing this
I DOUBT PBO WILL COME OUT UNTIL ALL IS ‘CLEAR’…SO I AM GOING TO GO AND GET COMFORTABLE AND WAIT AND WATCH AND FIDGET!…<3
has nut n yahoo gone around the bend yet?
Expect bibi nuts to start some shit somewhere, which I’m tweet out right now
When I look at what PBO has done on the International scene, I think every American should be crying at how the GOP and the media has fought anything he has tried to do internally.. This man is an unbelievable negotiator - the GOP is the idiot who blocks the ears and says nononnono. It really was all about making PBO a one term President and all it did was harm the people they are elected to serve.
New post.
http://theobamadiary.com/2016/01/16/lol-of-the-week-lethal-mayonnaise/
Just read that the President has agreed to help the Gov of Michigan in Flint - wonder if the fool will deign to say thank you.
I saw a tweet from his account acknowledging the help from PBO
Guess he recognizes he needs all the help he can get - Funny how the GOP governors love PBO in an emergency situation.
don’t forget that PBO also led to the opening of Burma to the world - diplomacy working and creating new friends and economic opportunities for people in the host countries
