      you should come to Ohio during election season …. multiple times I have met (talked and touched) PBO, FLOTUS, VP, Dr. Jill Biden, Malia, Sasha, GrandMa, … and the various entourages … but the excitement and sense of awe NEVER gets old ..

    Following yesterday’s post about the White House press secretary, several people asked me to post a photo of Josh Earnest. He’s at left in this photo of President Obama preparing for his last State of the Union address along with Ben Rhodes (read his book, it’s excellent) and Cody Keenan. #throwshadethenvote — Pete Souza

      Wonder how he’s enjoying ALL this winning?

      Plus China won’t back down on tariff backlash. More jobs will be lost next month just in time for the gubmint shut down.

    Thought this throwback photograph from President Obama’s 49th birthday was an appropriate one to wish him a happy birthday today. And now he and LeBron have something in common—being the recipient of racist and bullying tweets from the current president. Oh, and both of them like Mike. #throwshadethenvote @kingjames

    Good morning TOD family. Happy happy Birthday to President Barack Obama! You are missed. May today be a very special day.

    Today is a sad day for me. My son is leaving tonight to go back to Malaysia for another year of teaching. He has been home for a month and it has been a very full busy month. I hate to see him go but I am ready for some rest and lazy days.

    Mighty Pamela, is it your daughter that has the travel blog? I was sure I had bookmarked it but now I can’t find it. Please post it again. Thank you.

    Have a great day everyone.

    I say that if you miss PBO and appreciated what his accomplishments were while in office, then you have an obligation to yourself to make sure that we can protect the good he did, the good that WE did, together. How you begin to do that, is VOTE. ALL THE TIME. EVERY TIME. EVERY ELECTION. WITHOUT FAIL. Make the country you want to live in and have your children and grandchildren grow up in…one we can be proud of.

    Happy Birthday to my favorite President, and I have been alive since FDR was president. Just seeing these pictures makes my heart jump for joy. I am reminded of something my husband said just a week before he passed away. He had reached the point where his grasp of life was somewhat tenuous as he slowly slipped away. I was alone with him and he suddenly looked up, opened his eyes, and said: “My doll, is President Obama still president of the United States?” I proudly and happily answered, “Yes he is.” He smiled, sighed happily, and went back to sleep. He was able to die happy, and I am so glad. We saw him as he began his campaign in February 2007, and we never forgot that day. What he said then, he continued to say. He was consistent and thoughtful. I will always be thankful that I was alive during his amazing presidency.
