Thx Chips.
Hey COS - congrats. As always, the Obama Family have spread joy wherever they traveled.
Yes, I posted waaaaaaaaaay too early :oops:
Such cute photos of them in the video news report. Hope we get some stills…..
what da kenyan speaks portugese too now?
Não há fim para os seus talentos :cool:
#showoffsmh
Google Translate rocks. Although, I meant to say ‘There is no end to his talents’, but when I did a reverse translate it came up as ‘There is no end to your talents’ - jeebsus, I’m gonna sue ’em.
I win. 8-)
Yeah but when my case against Google Translate goes to court they’ll call you to to he stand and ask you to display your multi talents. I’ll be sitting there lol’ing.
watch it. else will be posting nsfw pic of unohoo.
I remain intrigued (and terrified) about that. Is it dogographic?
it’s just a boyz will be boyz pic. wanna see it? #justsaytheword
There’s a willy in it, isn’t there?
full willy.
So, you’re contemplating posting dog porn?
it’s not pr0n per se. just the dood sleeping in an ummm… awkward position, let’s say.
Ooooooooooooh! Okay, if you let me see yours, I’ll post mine (Danny’s, that is).
mmmm - folks always want to be hugging PBO
He’s just lucky he’s never met any of us.
Hope Judith got in a few hugs for the rest of us :)
Oh crikey, I forgot - grrrrrrr, I was so happy for Judith :evil:
LOL - we are all jealous of Judith (who well earned her visits with PBO) - all I saw were a couple of planes & I’m in 7th heaven.
Stalkers unite!
Hilarious, look at the view count on the video I posted last night :-)
WHOA!! About half of those are prolly mine.
:lol: And the other half mine!!!
and the third half is mine. 😳😜😍 I can’t get enough that video!!
:lol: Your math are as shaky as mine, Forus!!!
Yup. three halves = …Obama!
friggin’ obots. everywhere.
😍😍😍😍😘
President Barack Obama tangoed. Donald Trump tweeted.
That about sums it up—not just the predictable pundit pile-on, but Obama’s and Trump’s radically different postures to the world, and the world’s toward them, forced into focus by a week of reopening in Cuba and terrorism in Brussels.
Trump is playing the part of angry isolationist. Obama’s the guy doing the wave at the baseball game with Raúl Castro. Trump called for the borders to be closed. Obama got in his plane Tuesday night and flew to his second big foreign stop in a week, taking him further away from Washington than he was when the bombs blew up in Belgium.
GE Ladyhawke.
Isaac Davore’s articles this week have actually been readable — before this week, all others written by him have been snarky and spun to be as negative as possible about PBO. I wonder if this is the Trump effect — MSM realizing that GOP are actually about to nominate the worst possible candidate ever.
Did learn from this article that PBO is expected to attend NATO Summit in Warsaw Poland (Jul 8-9). The last NATO Summit was in Wales 2014. We at TODville LOVED that visit!
As PBO’s time in office edges nearer, I expect that world leaders will be clinging ever more desperately to PBO — unless the country has a dictator or RWNJ, all world leaders must be horrified at the thought of Donald Trump as POTUS.
President and Mrs. Obama are making friends wherever they go! They are loved. In the process, the opinions of the U.S. are raised, and we are no longer the pariah of the world, like we were during GWB’s admin.
We were in England in May 2001, for a college literary trip. One of the adults who went was a GWB fan…….we took a train to Wales from Bath and he sat next to an English woman. She asked him why we had elected Bush after Clinton who was so good. He gave the lame excuse that Clinton had had an affair. She laughed out loud…..”All politicians do that! That is not what counts.” She proceeded to tell him that no one could understand how our country could elect someone so stupid. I loved it!
What is sad, is that many people in the world outside the U.S. are more informed about our leaders and what they stand for and are than our own people.
Hmmmmmm………
Wow. Maybe Putin started a monologue and Kerry dozed off. Just sayin’.
Valid.
Although I just saw the tweet with all the people around the meeting table … so maybe make that they “all” dozed off, during Putin’s monologue. Seriously, hope something positive’s being worked out.
Putin would much rather these photos sitting down!
;) And here I’d decided not to say anything about how dwarfed Putin looked.
I must check his fingers :)
When I was at tai chi recently, I did notice how long & slender are the teacher’s fingers - just couldn’t help noticing.
I never give these jokers more than a passing glance - it’s a self-preservation issue for me. :D
But golfing, wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
Save your $$$ folks! Just saw Batman vs. Superman…..and sadly it was terrible :( It tried being ~4 movies in one (imagine the spawn of Inception, Mad Max, Transformers, and a Ben Affleck P90x infomercial) ….on top of that it was worse than the product placement of a Bond movie (If you are interested in a new Jeep Wrangler, like using Dove body wash, love Jolley Ranchers….all in the first 20 minutes)…then this is your flick! If you are into comic/DC/Marvel era movies go see Deadpool…10x better. Good news though (not a spoiler in any way) seems Sen. Stabenow decided being Gov. of Metropolis is a much better gig than representing Michigan in Congress :cool: ….ok, that was my review.
So, you loved it, LP?
Already bought tickets to see it again (only so I can remember all the other product placements that I forget) ….smh
:lol: Best. Review. EVER.
I’m done going to the movie theater. Freaking 11 bucks for a ticket….can’t imagine how mad I would be if I had a wife, two kids, and had to buy popcorn/candy/drinks!
Just follow Amk’s example, he’d leave them all at home #cheapskate
Possibly the only redeemable quality in my fellow Desi, being a frugal SOB :D :D :D
and a good morning to you too, blighter.
GM, AMK :) ….ran across this and thought you might get a kick out of it:
I believe that blighter amk i$ bu$y doing thi$.
Egg sackly #Miser
Look, all that money is not gonna pluck by itself, ok? some one hafta to do the dirty job.
My man, if you had had all that you listed for family, you’d have simply waited and bought the video for you all to watch on your big screen with home made popcorn etc. Of course, by the time the video came out you would have seen the review and kept your money in your pocket like your fellow Desi. ;)
egg.sack.lee. 11 bucks for a friggin’ movie??? useless feller.
And a lousy one at that! I’m with you this time. :D
I almost changed my mind and didn’t go, VC….I tried avoiding reading any reviews so I wouldn’t have any conformation bias….late last night some asshole in my sports TL posted a tweet by a movie critic who said they were disappointed….but I had never heard of the person and I didn’t open the link….it was a sign…unfortunately I didn’t follow through :(
Not to worry, now you can speak with authority that it’s a time waster. :D
desi review
http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-batman-vs-superman-is-the-worst-superhero-film-of-all-time/20160324.htm
Desi fella hit the nail on the head….word for word! They really did an injustice to both characters. Hopefully they can recover in whatever reincarnation comes about in the next flicks.
never a fan of superhero crap.
Probably because you never read the comics as a kid…or saw the cartoons….that is where most of the interest comes from. Indian children T.V. probably only shows Hanuman biopics :???:
our stories are better, more imaginative and more interesting, you traitor.
R. Saddler is absolutely right!
The stars who don’t do cosmetic surgery - life sure shows on their faces
I actually checked to see if they were as old as Fidel - not quite, 20-ish years younger. They don’t look it, though!
That is what excessive sex, drugs and rock n roll will do to you - wear you out.
I watched parts of PBO’s press conference in Argentina, and noticed he is doing something else for Argentina. By what he said, the way he respected President Macri, he is pulling Argentina out of their dark dictatorial days, and helping to edge them into the first rank of nations….making them a partner in fighting terrorism, promoting educational exchanges with them…..he has a way of always lifting up, not putting down. People now will know who is the President of Argentina, and it will be a favorable knowledge. He does only good when he travels, wherever it is. President Macri was just beaming and basking in the glow. In a way, PBO legitimized the Argentinian government to the world by this trip. (and he always pronounced his name correctly too!)
Is anyone sitting here watching the Argentinian news and wondering what on earth they’re talking about?
Ha. I picked out “Obama” and “Air Force One.”
They said “Obama” again. (Is this helpful? :) )
:lol: That is the ONLY word I’ve understood!
I have been wondering the same thing every since the Obamas have been in Argentina.
Love how the news crew is rolling its camera over every inch of Air Force One, taking one more look, like it’s eyeing a beautiful woman.
The President sure leaves his mark on people!
garyt time?
No comprendo.
just ask unohoo.
I stared at the sky for 15 minutes after AF1 was well out of sight!
Beautiful! Magical moments in the time of Obama.
Yes, dammit! And it’s driving me loco😳
This is not a good look for us america, we need to do better!

They don’t mention the voter suppression and the thousands of people that have been left out.
And….. here they are!
wwwhhaatt? unohoo asked for it.
:lol: :lol: :lol: What a tramp!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
the feller was sleeping like that. I don’t even wanna know what his dream was all about.
STOP!!!!!!!!
you STARTED IT !!!
Didunt.
did 2.
fix the pic, will ya? … remember, only the pic.
Dun.
tsk, tsk, tsk. #cruella
btw, where is the ball? I am sure there was a ball nearby.
Probably:
with the other jtp right there in the room? … umm, possible.
Are we still waiting for the First Family to take off?
I think so — just tuned in.
Screen says “fin de una visita historica”
Love that Argentina considers the First Family’s visit as historic.
I noticed that historic part, as well! It’s their history, too.
I prefer those POTUS who can tango.
(HRC should start her lessons now!)
I’m going to make a bold prediction - when Hillary’s President, we’re not all going to be sitting here for 17 hours waiting for a 30 glimpse of her and Bill on the tarmac in a far flung country. :???:
hillz hoo?
O Chips, you’re a great psychic on this matter. I’m 100% sure your prediction will come to pass!
:lol: 110% maybe?
120% more like…
That’s true. But HRC should learn the tango and the cha-cha-cha.
:lol: My mind is boggling!
Just sent you a DM, Chips.
Replied!
No worries…Replied back
You win the night, Chips. I’ve forgotten what day it is by now, and am starting to think in another language. But, 17 hours in, it’s worth it!
Sólo puedo hablar español ahora
Si se puede
(For a minute there, I thought you were calling me ahora.) (No response necessary.) :)
LOLz!! Not a chance!!
They haven’t boarded yet??
Finally! There’s the Beast
The Real Reason Obama Went to Cuba
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a43271/why-did-obama-go-to-cuba/
Thanks LH. This is watch TV talking head miss.
From the article:
“Because of the embargo, the Castros are able to explain away Cuba’s terrible poverty as a result of foreign oppression, and justify their repressive political tactics as a means of national self-determination. Obama brought Raul Castro onto a stage and stripped away those justifications in front of the whole country.”
snip /
“Through this series of tiny gestures, Obama achieved what 50 years of American resistance to Cuba was not able to. He defused any lingering military tension. He showed the Cuban people that America has good intentions. And he managed to humiliate the Castros, utterly, without appearing, even in the slightest, aggressive. He did all that in a couple of hours. There’s only one word for it: genius.”
PBO doesn’t do humiliation. That was a stupid murka must win at all costs zero sum game conclusion.
GM amk.
Raul seemed very flustered at the Press Conference — perhaps not humiliated, but not like a person whose family has been the sole power of a country for more than 50 years.
PBO, as always, was gracious, but did put Raul on the spot.
GE arapaho.
He just spoke the truth. Humiliation was never a part of it.
Exactly!
Article ends by summing up the feeling of everyone here in TODville. :(
“Unfortunately, whoever comes next, whether Democrat or Republican, will have nowhere near the skill that Obama has at making meaningful gestures like those he showed in Cuba. Whoever wins in November, the next American leader will inevitably be less effective—whether it’s Hillary Clinton with her compromised inertness or the impotent savagery of Trump or Cruz. Whatever the strengths and weaknesses of the Obama doctrine, in 2017, the United States will be missing its greatest foreign policy asset: the man himself.”
I just waved good-bye to my First Family!
There they go. Safe trip home to our First Family.
Safe trip home! *clink*
Thank God they’re in the plane! I need a glass of wine, after that. (I’m from New Jersey - we don’t “wait” well!)
I hate waiting, too. Interesting how we’re not OK until they’re all set. Once in a lifetime, for sure.
Yes, I couldn’t take my eyes away. When they’re in the plane, I’m good. Until then, I’ve got to know they are safely on schedule. Once in a lifetime.
👊
We will never see another leader like this in our lifetime. I’m just happy to have been alive, old enough and healthy enough to witness this Presidency.
Maybe after Hillary four years we can convince that other fantastic Obama to run for President, Michelle Obama. Just kidding, she wants nothing to do with politics and I can’t blame her. But a girl can hope for a Yes We Can Part 2.
A big Amen, HP2! I am very much older than you, and I never imagined that the United States had the capacity to elect a President Obama’s caliber! As a student of history I an savoring all of President Obama’s historical accomplishments! But history also teaches us that progress can be easily followed by regress.”
Safe travels home First Family ❤️
Thanks for making us proud of you!
And giant thank you Chips💕💕

I really hope they enjoy their time today. And POTUS owe FLOTUS a trip to India and Alaska. To the Taj Mahal, the last time they were in India they had to cancel the visit to the Taj Mahal because the King in Saudi Arabia had passed away and they went to pay respect.
