Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Thursday morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and the sacrifices you are making for us TODāers. š«šššā¤
To all, I hope you remember, God gave you a great mind to gain as much knowledge as you seek, to understand as much as you desire, and to imagine anything without limitation each day, especially today. ā¤ ā¤ā¤
Notwithstanding the nightmare of BuffoonTrump in the Whitehouse, I am more than ever, Thankful to God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. āš āš āš
Great article about whoās the toughest man in America (hint: his initials are PBO): http://www.alreporter.com/the-toughest-man-in-america/. Itās an interesting read, but as weāve seen over the past several years - kinda sad too. What a country.
I just read the article. It is great. He has encapsulated what those of us here have said so often these last eight years. So glad others are admitting it. PBO is the greatest!!
Pres. Obama continues his familiar pattern of an early workout followed by a golf outing while vacationing in Hawaii https://t.co/aK63iF1xJC pic.twitter.com/rL07RrpjbK
President @barackobama spent his day in Hawaii yesterday out on a golf outing after spending the morning working out. #Obama #PresidentObama #Hawaii #president #golf #vacation (AP)
Thank GOD someone is talking about this and doing something about it full time. With a racist that will be at the helm of the DOJ we need a full time person to fight voter suppression. I vote for Perez for DNC chair.
Having a full-time Director “with” ample staff that can work to protect local as well as national votes. We already know the States where plenty of staff will be essential.
Hola people.. Happy Thursday, trying to get all those last minute chores doneš Wanted to share this: Join Team Obamacare. Help protect Obamacare .https://www.barackobama.com/join-team-obamacare/?source=em_x_aca_20161018_x_x_kh_ar&utm_medium=email&utm_source=obama&utm_campaign=em_x_aca_20161018_x_x_kh_ar
Voters want "someone entirely new" to run as the Democratic candidate in 2020, according to new poll https://t.co/llb9qztjQf pic.twitter.com/t7XFFJRKgY
So did I. I also said I did not want anyone who was supported and had a close relationship with anyone who is not a true progressive Democrat. š Message should be clear. š
JOB, i laughed out loud when I read this-pretty much what I just posted on FB and decided I needed to get off given the roll I was on:-) I cannot stand anything about this man, and it gets worse every day. Spent some time just figuring out how to cite to some articles without including his photo because i refuse to have his photo on my page.
He just may be the worst human being Iāve encountered and I spent a career litigating against NY a…holes. He does not respect anyone or anything including the Office of President. And he has no idea what the world “class” means.
It is really interesting to see how almost all of the national magazines from Ebony/Essence to RollingStone to the NYT and WaPO have issues that are retrospective on The Obamas and the Obama administration. While much of this is about dollars and end-of-the-year solvency (they know that featuring them on the cover is a guaranteed sale) some of it is about the too-late realization of what we have had for 8 years. The one thing of value in the whole debacle of a DT presidency, is that the media and others (cannot get over Glenn Beckās “road to Damascus” change of attitude), have finally admitted what they have known all along : that a good, kind, strong, intelligent, and effective man took us from the depths to the heights. While I appreciate the volumes that I am adding to my personal Obama Library, their efforts are too late. They had to see just how ugly, ugly could be before they would admit that PBO is a transformational figure whose influence will live long, here and abroad, after that helicopter takes him “some place warm” after he has done one last distasteful duty for an ungrateful nation. The media made the way forward much slower and progress more tenuous because they reneged on their duties to the nation. What is the use to have freedom of the press enshrined in our constitution if it will only be used to spread hurtful gossip and out-right lies instead of searching from the truth and sharing with the rest of us? The jackals, who snapped at his ankles for 8 years were sad and tearful that day because they know what they have wrought. PBO treated them with respect and professionalism, at times begging them to do their jobs, begging the TV execs to carry certain speeches in the early days that they took joy in denying (we will be losing money they said, but we know what it was really about). There were some here that were going on and on about PBOās failure in messaging, but every message needs a conduit and most of them were closed to him and any information that he wanted to get out to the public. Thank God for social media and the unconventional ways that he and his administration used to get some information where it was most needed. So while I am pleased to see the bookstore shelves full of different magazines doing end of term coverage, most of it favorable, I will not forgive them for want they did to the stifle the countryās progress and to lay the groundwork for the monstrosity that is facing us for the next 4 to 8 years.
Love this CEB. I would add just one qualification. It is easy to forget today just how damn scary those times were for everyone. 800,000 Americans PER MONTH were losing jobs, and his new administration was so busy trying to hold it together there simply was not enough time to worry about messaging and the kind of stunts this new admin already is pulling. PBO was trying to save the entire global financial system from collapsing, and got virtually no credit when he pulled it off.

Funny, Jacqueline.š “A” list entertainers doesnāt want to do anything for him. Also appears that he is having problems attracting “B” list entertainment. I will not watch one minute of this faux inauguration.
I hope everyone is holding strong; I know I am trying very hard to concentrate on what I can change and ignore all the talks surrounding the Jackass-Elect.

muscatinegal, that really is a great article for TODāers to read. Thanks for sharing. ššš
It is, Ranman. Very good article.

Hi JERš
Every time I read about PBO working out or golfing, I want to jump up and do the same…except…Iām here at work at my desk. LOL!!!

This is a really beautiful tribute to FLOTUS but I wish theyād left out all that crap about the Trumps. Really, really unnecessary.
Well, at least it lets me know which designers to avoid. Overall, I really enjoyed the piece. Thanks JERš

Thatās what Iām talking about — fighting voter suppression full time. Love it.
I think heās the real deal.
This!!!
Iām impressed with Tom Perez and rooting for him to head the DNC.
Having a full-time Director “with” ample staff that can work to protect local as well as national votes. We already know the States where plenty of staff will be essential.
Good to know there are a lot of people out there who call bull sh*t when they see one. Why would any Trump pretend they fly coach like the rest of us.

Huzzah!! #TeamPerez
Heās got mine, as I indicated in very strong language to the DNC.
So did I. I also said I did not want anyone who was supported and had a close relationship with anyone who is not a true progressive Democrat. š Message should be clear. š
Yes, heās the only one that works for me !

President Barack Obama retrieves his ball after putting on the 18th green at the Kapolei Golf Club in Kapolei on December 21, 2016.
More idiocy on display ….
OMG. Total idiocy. I even know that!
bbl …. take care everyone …..
OMG!
I canāt wait.
I wish we could let the Obamas know how much we appreciate them.
Yes. Oh thank you Jesus. I love the LORD!

Funny, Jacqueline.š “A” list entertainers doesnāt want to do anything for him. Also appears that he is having problems attracting “B” list entertainment. I will not watch one minute of this faux inauguration.
I wonāt, either. Donāt plan to watch any cable TV “news” that entire day. Did that the day the EC was voting, as a trial run and I survived.
I wonāt watch the next day either. I will catch up on old movies.
Good plan!
Goodnight TOD ….
