So nostalgic for him. I love him so much.
I wonder who is in it now. It is so nice and clean.
{{Jackie}}
Hello Jackie. Great first landing!
Congrats, Jackie 4 Obama! Couldn’t agree more! :)
Kind of a mess
Wow!
it is a pity….now who would float such a rumor…
keyword here is “formally”
Smart girl ;)
LOLz! Brilliant!
Munchies!!
Bright idea 😎
No wonder there is violence in this country. Everyone is mad as hell. Il Douche’s followers, Bernie’s fans, Oregon militia, NRA and its members, etc.
Correct tweet. Apologies.
The President has presented a strong, fiscally-responsible plan to create good-paying jobs, expand opportunity and increase the paychecks of hard-working American families. While Republicans cling to a narrow, special-interests-first program for our future, Democrats will stand with the President’s vision for a new American era of prosperity, opportunity and ambition.”
This is a suit that the Justice Department HAS to win…
I Just received three phone calls from the Sander’s Camp. They may mot be convincing, but they sure are persistent.
are you in one of those states that are voting very soon?
The FACE of MSNBC
They probably joined a sex orgy there .
Shudder!
X2 + BARF!!!
Did Keith Oberman get slapped on the wrist for donating money to a Dem campaign yet Joeshmoo and sidekick can be keynote speakers and verbally support RW candidates.
This is some really bad press. Somebody needs to get a grip here!
This is the actual quote:
“Many of these are first-time voters and Senator Sanders’ message resonates with the younger generation because of the promises that he is making,” said Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), chairman of the CBC. “But Mrs. Clinton and others are going to challenge the message by suggesting that it is unrealistic to believe that we can accomplish all of the things that Senator Sanders proposes.”
“They need to understand that when a candidate presents a message, you’ve got to pierce the message to determine whether or not it’s realistic, given the political climate that we live in,” Butterfield said. “It’s not a negative, it’s not an aspersion on the new voter. It’s the fact that many of them are inexperienced and have not gone through a presidential election cycle before.”
Some of these writers like to stir the senses but again I say that her advocates have to recognize that this is how the media is going to present things to the public. He took a line out of that article and presents it as a smite on young voters. Her people need to catch up!!!!
thank you for this Donna…
i am taking a deep breath….
will wait to see what happens in Nevada and South Carolina…
Relax, she will win handily.
Just found out one of my sister-in-laws must be a Bernie supporter since she liked a Bernie ad on Facebook. :( Her husband, my brother, is a gun loving GOP advocate and it would not surprise me if he were supporting Trump. My other brother has been a long time Ron Paul fan and a strict Constitutionalist. I was surprised he is for Bernie, but that beats a GOP candidate. He would NEVER support Hillary as he believes every single conspiracy theory ever said about the Clintons. Now you know why I need all of you!
Here for you, Obama Grandmama. Hopefully, we’ll get the job done in November and elect a President who will continue President Obama’s stunningly great legacy. We can do it!! Or as President Obama used to say, “Yes we can!”
All of you are my island of sanity where I can go to seek out like minds.
The man speaks the truth! And we cannot turn this country over to Republicans to destroy every accomplishment President Obama has secured.
too funny…PBO must have been hungry…smiling…
I wonder if Rev Al is supporting Sanders? He was a regular on his show.
I don’t think so. i think his producers determine “with” him who will be on his show. I think he’s just being fair. I’m sure he supports HRC.
Thx idon.
Yesterday, while in transit, I listened to part of his show; he was doing a lot of pushback on the Bernistans that called in…
Stephanie Miller gets lots of calls from Bernie supporters, and she has to constantly explain that she is for HRC but she will vote for Bernie if he is the nominee. Tom Hartman and all of the PL are supporting BS, knowing that he will not be able to get any of his promises done. They are intelligent folks and know the process, but they still support BS.
I was thinking something similar, COS.
There are a number of “intellectuals” who support BS. I am surprised that they aren’t asking the questions about how he plans to accomplish his proposals and what it will entail. Either that or that they are satisfied with the answers. Then again, maybe they don’t care about that. Maybe the attraction is that Bernie is a conduit for getting out a message; for generating discussion on a pet issue. Beyond that, his usefulness will expire.
swbluega, Maybe we should contact them and ask them about that.
Thom Hartman has been advocating for things falling apart for years. Às if we’re assured URLs will follow. I’m sick of it. Hartman should know better
Now this is an interesting comment….
the context is about folks who voted for things in the 90s that they may not have voted for today…
One of my daughter-in-laws lets out audible horror sounds when she hears about no car seats for kids, kids waiting in the car when a parent went in a store, putting babies to bed on their stomachs, etcetera, etcetera. She cannot seem to grasp that things were different then when my kids were young and you were not a bad parent by not knowing these future improved behaviors. Is it a coincidence that she decided to support Bernie really early on by being totally inspired by him? No real deep thinking, mostly an emotional response. Maybe she represents a typical far left Bernie supporter.
Folks sure do have a great sense of humor
this picture is …well…appropriate
It was freezing that day, but I was filled with hope and ready for this adventure- mo Where were you? Where was I? Sitting right in front of my tv watching Sen. Obama make his announcement to run for President..
FLOTUS let me thank you for agreeing to make this journey with POTUS. I wish I could tell FLOTUS these few words, I’m sure it was not easy for you, Malia, and Sasha, but thank you for agreeing to let your husband run for President. POTUS said he would not have run if you had said no, Thank You.
What would BernieBros do if Warren endorsed Hillary
Interesting…
However, if you want to know what the BernieBros would do, you need only read the comments on this tweet. What amazes me about the Bernie fans is how they seem to each project their own mythical desires for the perfect savior onto him. So many attribute positions to him that he has never taken or has voted against and no matter what evidence to the contrary is presented, they just keep believing in their own version of him or, if they do accept votes he’s taken or choices he’s made as fact, they brush them off. It’s o.k. to choose to support him instead of HRC, but I wish I didn’t see so much denial and fantasy in his supporters.
Just go a reminder on facebook — I downloaded the form in 2011 and still haven’t completed and mailed them. Moving to the top of my “To Do” list!
“Just a thought…
There are just 10 months left in President Obama’s term. If you have a family member that is a deceased veteran of the military this is your last opportunity to have a Presidential Memorial Certificate signed by our first African American president. I just got off the phone checking the status of my request for certificates for my 2nd great-grandfather’s service in the Civil War. It’s highly symbolic and extremely important to me to have these signed by President Obama. Here’s the link:”

Thanks jazziz2, Our very own Tally showed the SoCal TOD group her certicates for her mom and dad who were both veterans.
I wonder if Coates is taking any heat for his endorsement
OFF Topic…but so kool
Very cool! I didn’t fully appreciate Van Gogh until I went to Amsterdam and saw his work in person.
Now I’m thinking of all the other paintings I’d like to spend the night in :-)
Scarey…
PF58, if senators and reps from all states had worked seriously with POTUS when he was talking infrastructure in his first term wouldn’t a lot of this have been/in the process of being addressed?
Indeed!
YESSSSS!!
The narrator at the live feed seems to be a supporter of the rebels. He mentioned something about David calling him to advise him of the FBI’s actions, and while giving the number and encouraging his listeners to call the FBI in Portland he’s also reminding them to keep their convo civil. Why would he be encouraging people to call right now if he knows the local bureau is involved in sensitive actions? What’s his intent?
Today’s MUST SEE:
:) Meta, this man brings a smile to my face just by being. HE’s definitely a health booster!
He’s simply phenomenal.
Fantastic speech……truly informative and moving. It’s a master class in civility and leadership. One thing was apparent, though. He truly does not like the idea of his daughters dating :-)
You know, I suspect POTUS is simply joking around about his daughters and dating. It’s a subject on which most parents/fathers would agree and is a good way to remind people that he’s “just a father” like others. IMO it’s a nice ‘ice-breaker’.
I was reading some comments where some haters I’m sure ask were was the white kids when the First Lady and those kids were on Colbert Show after the football game? Then someone ask about the white kids when the First Lady had the Black history program honoring dancing? Where are the white kids? Now I had to ask did these same people ask were was the black actors when the Oscars were nominated? I wanted these idiots to know that for so long I have ask that question, where are the black kids? These are those people way of calling FLOTUS racists, but when FLOTUS have other events and a bunch of white kids are around, these same people manage to miss that.
Beyonce’s script is beautiful!
Isn’t it though? I wish I could script as beautifully.
The groveling has begun:
LOL…as if Trump would even think about picking him….
Seriously. But they will all be doing this sooner or later. They will all fall in line and grovel.
Not so sure about Trump not picking Ben. I am one that thinks Trump is crazy like a fox. He says unconventional things he knows will get him airtime and garner favor among racists etc. Trump may decide to walk back his problem areas in the General Election by running either an AA or a Woman as VP. (Or Omarosa) Then he would say see I am not racist or I am not a woman hater.
Oh gawd, are they all assuming and accepting that *Trump* will be the GOP pick? Ogawd-ogawd-ogawd, what has politicking in the US come to?
Ummm … oh my, oh my! Keeping the heck away from my brain! :)
It’s about time to end this charade in Oregon.
Did anyone see Ben Jealous on Rachel tonight?
No glad I didn’t see Jealous.
Thanks for the warning i won’t watch.
Other than Jealous, her show was pretty good. She talked about the delegates and super delegates. Also pointed out the challenge for Sanders in South Carolina getting support from black voters. She discussed the “huge voter turnout” myth being pedaled by Sanders and showed how it was not true.
So, after decades of coded racism, the rethugs ratrace has ‘evolved’ into two openly racist, vile birther nutters.
Lincoln wept. Karma smiled.
lolololol
Ha.
smh/
Donna, this is like trying to teach someone like SP foreign policy. The chairman of the Democratic party in South Carolina said that Sanders has a long way to go to close that gap for black voters in SC; especially black middle age women.

The precision with which his support team operates is amazing, truly amazing.
So OT, but what the heck:
OK, technology-defeated. Trying again, not for those who’re adverse to, ahem, certain verbiage:
Saw him perform on Colbert the other night and I was blown away. I posted it here on TOD.
http://theobamadiary.com/2016/02/05/chat-on-148/#comment-1480677
Several reports and video on twitter of Sanders staff asking out of staters to use campaign office as address to register to vote. This is clearly illegal.
I’ve just been listening to live feed of the wildlife refuge terrorists. Those people are totally nuts! Some outsiders on the line trying to talk them into surrendering but some just want to die in a shootout blaze of glory.
New post.
