President Barack Obama receives the 2017 John F. Kennedy Profile In Courage Award from Caroline Kennedy at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts. He was honored for “his enduring commitment to democratic ideals and elevating the standard of political courage in a new century,” with specific mention of his expansion of healthcare options, his leadership on confronting climate change and his restoration of diplomatic relations with Cuba.
Even at .0001 second in; if that is still a Silver Medal…….
A win, nonetheless š

photos on this page are of beautiful/handsome people who value empathy, and public service that improves the lives of ALL people - in other words they are Good People;
what a good treat for tonight … and coming after the French election … yes, the Arc of the Moral Universe will continue to bend towards justice.
In the I may be old but Iām not dead yet category, anybody else spot the curly headed guy at the ceremony tonight whom I think might be a new hire on President Obamaās Secret Service detail? He was in position a couple agents over on the rope line to the Presidentās left, and seemed to be one of the last ones to follow him out of the room. Unless I dreamed that. What a cutie.
OMG, a couple of months ago? Iām slipping. That canāt be good. Ha!
Totally caught your drift - kind of like an older John Kennedy Jr. or Jack Schlossberg, ETC. His face and slightly longer hair also reminds me of an older movie actor, whose name escapes me. ‘Cause Iām slipping. (Never!)
My notifications arenāt lighting up, so I missed this earlier. Thatās the guy … as you know, since you first spotted him months ago. Ha. Heās a little shorter than I first thought. Er, I mean … [drifts off]
@ZekeJMiller I was there 2 years ago when Michelle & kids visited for EXPO, and the Italians absolutely ADORE the Obama family. They're horrified @ Trump
Franceās next president is, letās face it, pretty youthful.
In 2010, David Cameron became the youngest UK prime minister since 1812 when he came to office at 43.
Barack Obama was also thought to be quite sprightly when he became US president in 2009 at the age of 47.
But Mr Macron, at just 39, is much younger. Still, he has some competition in Europe.
In Belgium, Prime Minister Charles Michel was 38 when he became PM in 2014. Last year, Juri Ratas became Estonian PM at 38. In Hungary, Viktor Orban was just 35 when he became PM for the first time in 1998, and Greek Prime MInister Alexis Tsipras was 40 when he was first took office in January 2015.
Iām not against old either (unlike many others concerned about Uncle Joeās age, think he would be a great President), but DJTās mind and actions are throwbacks to the 1950-60s when he was a young man.
The world has moved on, but he and his bigoted supporters still think itās 1959.
It was also time for some new blood in the Democratic leadership. Thank you, Pelosi & Hoyer, but itās time for the next generation. Party leadership in the govt. is all well over 70.
I saw this tweet this evening, but couldnāt find it when I wanted to post it. It said something like, “I donāt want to give Barack Obama a big head, but we have to give him more awards so we can keep hearing him speak!”

has anyone seen any major media reports suggesting that president obamas support/call with macron helped him get a landslide win? havenāt seen any myself, which isnāt a surprise, of course…
Not yet but Iām sure it will come. But that might turn into something we donāt want to deal with if you catch my drift. I would be more interested to know what they did to prevent hacking of their voting machines. If that were to come out it would be the most powerful indictment of what actually happened in the 2016 US election. It become clear beyond a doubt the 2016 federal election results were the result of literally hacking the vote.
Actually they knew about the hacking, spoke about it in advance and loaded wikileaks with fake emails and phony accounts to a phishing site and made wikileaks look really stupid. Also the media chose to ignore unverified, hacked information. Imagine that!
GM, TOD ohana.
Still thinking about PBOās speech last night; so many ideas to mull over and to savor. His generosity was again on full display as much of his speech was a gift to the Kennedy family as he wove the things that JFK said and did throughout his comments, and how he tied in much of his success to what various family members had done that inspired him and made his life possible. He showed courage by not shying away from the current healthcare battle, calling out congress and challenging them to do better by the American people. His calm, yet passionate voice, his yearning and desire for the best in us for the best of our country reached out beyond the JFK center to touch and inspire those who watched beyond those walls. He reminded us again of who we are, what we can be, the fight ahead and what it will take to bend the arc of justice farther. We are reminded of what principled leadership looks like, that we can expect more of those who inhabit public office and that we are not sheep who must take whatever is handed out to us.
Safe journeys this week, PBO. May God continue to bless and keep you.

PBOās continued presence on the worldās stage reminds others that all of us are not crazy and depraved; that millions more voted for his vision and his style of governance, the First Clown can rant and lie on Twitter, and the msm can continue their both sides lie, but the truth is clear for all to see. It is precisely because the haters in government know that they are not on PBOās level that they still go after him and those he loved and tried to protect (us). They want to eradicate him and us so that they can feel good about themselves and bask in their false sense of superiority. I pray that the SS will be even more vigilant than they were when PBO was in office because they want to silence him and to devastate us. May God continue to keep and bless Barack Hussein Obama, 44th president of these United States.
Yesterday at our brunch with my TOD SoCal family, told them I had a rant stored up inside me. During the 8 yrs PBO was in office the left wing AA crazies - Tavis Smelly, Ben Jealous, Goofus wild haired Professor do-nothing Corney West, Van Jones, and Keith Ellison plus all the AAās who complained that PBO did not “fix” all of the AA community problems since the country began - HAVE NOT DONE A G - D BEFORE PBO AND AFTER PBO. These so-called leaders have not lifted one AA male up by meeting with them, starting programs, etc., since Jesse Jackson. These grifters wonāt and canāt do anything unless it enriches them personally. You never hear about any of them mentoring young men personally or helping them go to college. They are too busy complaining about what PBO has not done. I was watching TS on PBS interview the lady who stepped down from the FEC because the other GOP members would not go after clear violations from within their own party. She said with a 50% GOP & DEM appointed body nothing gets done. TS asked her if PBO was at fault for not doing more? This is what always comes out of his mouth no matter who is interviewed. I do not watch his show and never will.
Last night after the Profiles in Courage award I was flipping channels and Tweety was talking to Eugene Robinson some other liberal and two republicants. The one guy said the speech PBO gave was very good but if he only gave a speech like that when he first came into office things would have been so great. The other GOP sour - puss said he was not a good speech no one would remember it the next day. At least Tweety never went back to this guy and only talked to the other republicant who had the courage to say it was a good speech and the other liberals.
I thoroughly enjoyed PBO speech last time. It was so comforting and he was so relaxed and calm, that it made me calm. I and the rest of the sane world really miss him.
MSNBC is reporting that during his 90-minute “chat” with Trump before the non-inauguration, President Obama “warned Trump against hiring Flynn.” Apparently, this was confirmed by 3 former Obama administration officials - no doubt in response to all the lies still coming from Trump that President Obama was at fault. Of course, now MSNBC is asking why it took so long for this info to get out. But Clint Watts is on saying “Who wasnāt warned!” Go, Clint!
Ha! Hadnāt thought of that likeness, but youāre EXACTLY on point! Love him and a few others, who arrived on the national scene “just in time.”

Hope youāll be around for PBOās trip to Europe (think he might be on a plane even as we speak).
And if you look at North America, only the US has an old coot as FUBAR president.
Trudeau was born on Christmas Day, 1971, Enrique Pena Nieto July 20, 1966.
GE a. You are right. I have no problem with the old, but the nutz elected a corrupt, bankrupt (in all senses) and a racist old coot.

Results in biggest French cities by population
1. Paris

Le Pen: 10.32% (97,770)
2. Marseille

3. Lyon

4. Toulouse

Le Pen: 17.03% (27,572)
5. Nice
Macron: 60.14% (83,916)
Le Pen: 39.86% (55,616)
Any thoughts or reported explanations about the discrepancy among the cities? Nice, I can guess …. But others???
He has done pretty well in all these cities.
WOW!!
Taking a closer look at the final results that have just been posted, a few things jump out.
One is that more registered voters actually abstained than voted for Marine Le Pen (12 million vs. 10.6 million).
Of those who did go to vote, 8.49% (3 million people) cast blank ballots, while 3% (1.06 million) spoiled theirs. ah, the french loony left/bs bots.
I saw this tweet this evening, but couldnāt find it when I wanted to post it. It said something like, “I donāt want to give Barack Obama a big head, but we have to give him more awards so we can keep hearing him speak!”

Hello Beautiful! Glad to be back! š
Thank you for all the delicious “coverage” youāve given us from Milan. Itās like weāre there with him!
Thrilled I could be here to share! šš¾
Good morning, Dudette. It is so good to see you here; hope you are doing well.
Thanks for the photo of our 44ever President in Milan; a great way to start the week.
Hiya CEB! Feeling great today! Hope you are too!
Love seeing my PBO out and about.
It is comforting to see him and hear him again.
Sad to see heās no longer the “Beast” with the US flag waving in the breeze. But still exciting to see a motorcade knowing heās in there.
… no longer riding in the Beast…
More video
Sorry, that was live video. Itās over now.
š
LOL!
Ha!
Well, thereās a mighty FINE way to start the day!
Love the Italians loving out PBO!!! They know whoās the best.
About $930. If I had it, Iād pay that and more!
Love this!
Gosh darn PBO looks great! #MyForeverPresident.
OMG, like a very fine wine. Goodness.
media is already trivializing his him - le big mac. macronomy.
everything is fun & games to these talentless overpaid media minions.
The election results werenāt more than an hour old and AP was already undermining his win. Itās a complete game, predictable and disgusting.
a good read on flof (?)

Gotta love the Fux News crowd who call her a “pedophile” because sheās 24 years his senior. The depraved jackass they elected has talked about sex with 12 year olds and married a woman 23 years his junior. Unbelievable.
adultery. incest. rape. womanizing. the scum has done it all. the ‘family values christiansā party and its base swallowed it all.
PBOās continued presence on the worldās stage reminds others that all of us are not crazy and depraved; that millions more voted for his vision and his style of governance, the First Clown can rant and lie on Twitter, and the msm can continue their both sides lie, but the truth is clear for all to see. It is precisely because the haters in government know that they are not on PBOās level that they still go after him and those he loved and tried to protect (us). They want to eradicate him and us so that they can feel good about themselves and bask in their false sense of superiority. I pray that the SS will be even more vigilant than they were when PBO was in office because they want to silence him and to devastate us. May God continue to keep and bless Barack Hussein Obama, 44th president of these United States.
Yesterday at our brunch with my TOD SoCal family, told them I had a rant stored up inside me. During the 8 yrs PBO was in office the left wing AA crazies - Tavis Smelly, Ben Jealous, Goofus wild haired Professor do-nothing Corney West, Van Jones, and Keith Ellison plus all the AAās who complained that PBO did not “fix” all of the AA community problems since the country began - HAVE NOT DONE A G - D BEFORE PBO AND AFTER PBO. These so-called leaders have not lifted one AA male up by meeting with them, starting programs, etc., since Jesse Jackson. These grifters wonāt and canāt do anything unless it enriches them personally. You never hear about any of them mentoring young men personally or helping them go to college. They are too busy complaining about what PBO has not done. I was watching TS on PBS interview the lady who stepped down from the FEC because the other GOP members would not go after clear violations from within their own party. She said with a 50% GOP & DEM appointed body nothing gets done. TS asked her if PBO was at fault for not doing more? This is what always comes out of his mouth no matter who is interviewed. I do not watch his show and never will.
Last night after the Profiles in Courage award I was flipping channels and Tweety was talking to Eugene Robinson some other liberal and two republicants. The one guy said the speech PBO gave was very good but if he only gave a speech like that when he first came into office things would have been so great. The other GOP sour - puss said he was not a good speech no one would remember it the next day. At least Tweety never went back to this guy and only talked to the other republicant who had the courage to say it was a good speech and the other liberals.
I thoroughly enjoyed PBO speech last time. It was so comforting and he was so relaxed and calm, that it made me calm. I and the rest of the sane world really miss him.
PREACH JO JO!!!
Hello lovely! ; ) : )
š
Even Malcolm Nance R/Tād this about todayās hearing. Heās so real!
This is where PBO will be dining tonight:
Italian Institute for International Political Studies, Clerici Palace

OOoooooo, SWEET.
MSNBC is reporting that during his 90-minute “chat” with Trump before the non-inauguration, President Obama “warned Trump against hiring Flynn.” Apparently, this was confirmed by 3 former Obama administration officials - no doubt in response to all the lies still coming from Trump that President Obama was at fault. Of course, now MSNBC is asking why it took so long for this info to get out. But Clint Watts is on saying “Who wasnāt warned!” Go, Clint!
LOVE that guy. Reminds me of Joe Friday!!
Ha! Hadnāt thought of that likeness, but youāre EXACTLY on point! Love him and a few others, who arrived on the national scene “just in time.”
My new wake-up routine:
1. Coffee - check
2. See what Malcolm Nance posted on twitter or said on MSNBC - check
3. Try not to R/T everything he says - working on that
š
Hahaha!! Yeah.
THIS………………IS MY PRESIDENT………..
BOOOOOM!!!!
GOT IT OUT THERE FOR THE TRUMPETTES ON MY NEW FB…LOL…….
PBO *personally* warned Trump - yet Trump ignored him…
OMG, I cannot wait for this to blow up in Trumpās ugly face.
META..TRUMPāS FACE IS LOCATED BELOW THE BELT ON THE REAR SEAM……
Morning Sailor!
Hi Neighbor!!! Good to see you in the village, Dudette. Trust that you continue to improve and keeping positive thoughts that that is the case. All the posts featuring PBO is definitely good for my mental health! š
Hey Honey! Getting better everyday! He has the same effect on me! š
Aye, aye, Sir!!
New post.
