Love this so much!!!
Wait, what?
“Obamacare” doesn’t just help old, lazy, poor, black and Latino men who never graduated from high school? You mean it helps young, energetic, pretty, middle-class, college educated, white, blonde haired girls too.
Oh how crafty of the Obama campaign to go STRAIGHT to the “heartland” tell the story, VERY CRAFTY.. 8)
Alright Emily
She will not be burdened with an “existing condition” once she graduates and gets a job or starts her own business if she so choses. So many young adults are getting sick these days and just because you are young does not guarantee perfect health and if you do get sick you can still get medical insurance without it costing an arm and a leg.
Me too! Powerful testimony. Hiya doin’ Tally?
Hallelujah! Another early Xmas present for me.
AT&T ends $39bn bid for T-Mobile USA.
I already overpay for AT&T phone and internet. I wasn’t looking forward to paying more for less service on my mobile.
LL, I too was very happy for the same reasons as you! I didn’t want AT&T to have any more monopoly
Good News…I just signed my Mom up for T-Mobile after we cancelled her At&T cray cell service. T-Mobile is not the greatest but they do provide better customer service than AT&T.
I get a 20% discount off my T-Mobile for being one of those lazy, evil govt employees.
Hahahaa. So glad that deal fell through. Enough with the monopolies.
But, Obamacare, and soshulism, and free markets, and Sharia law, and and and!!!!
AND………
Hi Tally!
Doesn’t the “MSM” sound like Charlie Brown…they are the “Charlie Brownist of news”. It isn’t the President that’s a downer, he has that electrify smile and makes anyone who sees or meets him feel warm, fuzzy and very secure and glad he’s in charge.
Woot!
It’s not yet Christmas but President Obama’s chilly job approval ratings over the fall have thawed out a little. Just under half the country — 49 percent — approves of the job he is doing in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. That’s a significant improvement from his 44 percent approval last month.

That is GREAT news!
Thanks Chipsticks 🙂
Which is bogus anyway because our President has done an excellent job. When you compare him to the three stooges on the right, he is head and shoulders above any other leader.
Hi, Jackie – When you compare him to anybody, he’s head and shoulders above them, too!
Wow, only just spotted in that poll that the President is up 10 pts with independents since October. 😉
And +11 with REPUBS since last month.
Baggers for Obama!
POTUS knows what he is doing with those “60 Minute” interviews, local TV station interviews and traveling to Kansas and PA, etc. It should be around 95% but you gotta factor in a good 40% of continous stupid.
“40% of continuous stupid,” too funny, but too true!
That “stupid” part you mentioned cracked me up! Or am I just giddy with all of these cute snowflakes falling? 🙂
wow, that is a wonderful piece. thank you emily for sharing your story. best wishes to you to be healthy and the reach your goals!
And so it begins…
Obama’s approval rating rises to 49% in new ABC News/Washington Post poll, two months after hitting a career-low of 42% in October.
Pollster Langer on Bam’s numbers: “His best showing since spring, and one that, if it holds, that may put his re-election prospects back within reach.”
….The MSM still throwing jabs “may put re-election prospects back within reach”. Yes, even though in head to head he leads Leroy And Mittens.
heh! Leroy. I think I’ll start calling him that on the Twitter.
Leroy and WIllard, two of the most unattractive names for two very unattractive men.
I never thought his election prospect was out of reach. They just make stuff up.
Of course. He’s going to win in a landslide. I’m convinced. We’ll all be screaming and crying – again – on election night 2012. Just keep picturing the beauty of it. #PressOn
Hello TOD Family,
I don’t post often but I come here several times a day. Does anyone know anything about robo calls going around telling us that we would’ve been muchbetter off if we had elected Hillary Clinton as our President. I was so mad to get this call today and they were lucky it was not a real person calling, otherwise they would’ve gotten an earfull from me. Why are democrats doing this to themselves? Has anyone else received this type of call before?
It’s not Democrats…its either PUMAS or the Repubs trying to cause chaos. Yawn, in CNN’s poll 82% of Dems want to nominate the Prez up from 71% last month. If she couldn’t win last time, she ain’t gonna win this time.
emoprogs wasting money trying to drum up support for Hillary or a third partier. M-fing dumbasses! Possibly the reason Ms. Bitch N Huff and the gang of dumbasses got invited to the WH. Wish a real person would call me so I can tell them where I’m gonna be sticking my foot. A-holes.
ps- thanks for posting, hope you do so more often and apologies for the salty language.
Posted about this on the previous thread. It’s Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen the fake democratic pollsters who work for Fox News. They’re the ones who first wrote op-eds saying Pres Obama should step down and let Hillary run. Well that didn’t work, so now they think they can plant the idea in enough people’s heads that they will sign a petition for Hillary to primary Pres Obama.
Instead, scores of people are going to be turned off by the Hillary robo-calls. People who know she doesn’t want or intend to run, and know that the calls are fake. It’s our job to spread that word, since apparently the calls are getting more prevalent and intended to cause division where there is none.
Oh, and proud, if you mean Pat Caddell – the former democrat (small d) who pretends he still is, while looking like an ugly turd and acting like he knows something – glad I haven’t seen him in a while! 🙂
Ahero62, Tally brought this up on the previous thread https://theobamadiary.com/2011/12/19/more-pete-souza-genius-2/
Comment 86 or thereabouts. A few whackos — the group has 12 or so members.. What a waste of time and space…
Thanks guys, I’ll check the previous thread.
Take a look: New Hampshire voters should draft Hillary http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70623.html
Steve Benen: The question of the day: is it better to ignore the latest nonsense from Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell or mock it? I’ve gone back and forth on this, but I’m leaning towards the latter, primarily out of concern that some well-intentioned news consumers may not immediately recognize them.
Schoen and Caddell have a shtick that clearly works for them. They’re “Fox News Democrats” — guys who claim to be Dems, but who are actively hostile towards Democratic officeholders, Democratic candidates, and Democratic policy ideas. They leverage their superficial connection to the party for even more superficial credibility, convincing news outlets their anti-Democratic screeds are meaningful given their imaginary loyalty to the party.
Fox News, in particular, routinely touts its commitment to “balance” by inviting him on the air — Republicans who hate Democrats are joined by Democrats who hate Democrats.

Ahero62, I got that call today and hung up the moment I realized what it was peddling. Surely this is paid for by Karl Rove and/or the Kock Bros. or Mitt’s campaign or Paul’s. Their only hope is to divide and conquer Dems. No other scenario puts their pathetic candidates even close.
Key grafs from the WaPo/ABC poll:
And:
Indies are wishy-washy as usual, but starting to wake up.
And I can’t believe those polled are evenly divided on who to trust on jobs and the economy.
What a moving story. I like what Emily said “Put a face on it.”
Return of the Obamacons (Republican Obama voters)
His approval rating is 19% with Republicans +11 from last month. Could it be that they are also embarrassed by the ensemble of body builder rejects (Newton Leroy) rodeo clowns (Santorum and Bachmann), 3rd place beauty queens (looking at you Rick Perry), the guy who fired your dad (Mittens and Huntsman) and Ron Paul?
You know, if he builds a coalition of the majority of Dems, a rump caucus of GOP voters, and close to 50% of Indies, he’s got this, and we get the House back.
good. we need more sane repubs (see, I can be nice to the repugs) to stand up for America and tell Congressional repugs and rethug presidential candidates to suck it.
Teabaggers for Obama! (LOL 🙂 )
Love that!
There are really some sane Republicans who are much better than the holier than thou purity progressives. You aught to check them out at Republicans for Obama.
That’s me. 🙂
You’re an Obamacon?
Maybe, some know “a good thing”… 😉
REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA (OBAMA 2012)… http://www.republicansforobama.org/
YES.WE.CAN…DO.(Much)More, Together!
YES.WE.CAN, Again…Obama/Biden 2012!
PRESS ON!
You let Brown Shirts run your House caucus, and this is what you get.
GOP Goes To War With Itself Over Payroll Cut.
Me being an eternal optimist, I hope that saner heads will save what’s left of the GOP. Me being ruthless about wanting to see progress in this country, I hope they destroy each other.
Tea Party Civil War — For The Win!
Lugar, Brown, Snowe and Heller all have publicly said GOP House should pass the extension. Interesting that all four are up for re-election in 2012. The House GOP blocks it and it will be House Rep vs Senator in a lot of States and either the House Reps are painted as extremist or the Senator will be painted as a sell-out.
Basically what happened is Boehner thought he could sell the deal to his caucus – so GOP Senate went along, 39 of them. Boehner was rebukes by the tea party members and is unwilling to work with Pelosi to get it passed. So now Boehner has to block a hugely bi-partisan bill that got 89 votes for it in the Senate, or his caucus will have to vote in lock step to vote it down.
I don’t like that it’s allowing Brown and Heller buck their party very publicly though.
this won’t save Brown’s ass. He’s still toast. Too little, too late motha!!!!!! Liz is gonna take your butt down.
Brown won a low-turnout special election with an underwhelming Dem candidate who did no GOTV. Liz Warren is a different dollop of chocolate.
Exactly.
Man Brain Dead After ‘Excessive Force’ Used At Jail Overseen By Arpaio | On the heels of a Justice Department report accusing Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of violating the civil rights of Latinos, Arpaio’s department is under fire after an inmate became unresponsive while in custody and is now likely brain dead, according to media reports.
The victim, Ernest M. Atencio, was brought to the Phoenix jail at 3 a.m. Friday when he became “abusive and combative, forcing police and sheriff’s deputies to use ‘defensive efforts’ in restraining him.” Officers took Atencio to a “safe cell” to calm down, and when medical staff checked on him 15 minutes later, he was unresponsive.
The Daily Mail reports that officers used “excessive force,” and Atencio’s family claims he suffered a heart attack after being Tasered by police and did not receive treatment soon enough. “We have to do an investigation,” Arpaio said about the incident. “We do it all the time, we have an incident in the jails…we’re going to do this one too, very professionally.”

By the way…READ THE COMMENTS! People are furious. We have seen this go on for far too long!
Thanks….mine was just one of those news flashes over at TP.
Good. In the end the only way to get Joe out is to throw him out on his ass. Then have the Feds take him to court for civil rights violations. and corruption.
Absolutely. There are still investigations that are ongoing. The guy is a despicable POS!
My cousin in Tucson is an Arpaio supporter. He’s one of *those* Cubans, the ones that make me embarrassed. When my mother told me that, I shook my head; sad, but not terribly surprised.
Don’t feel Bad Liberal Librarian. We all have family members that have been programed by right wing talk radio and Fox News! I have an uncle and a cousin who were die hard supporters of “W.”
Why doesn’t the justice dept. arrest him ? Isn’t 3 years of investigation enough to throw this racist’s ass in the slammer ?
Hello, and Ho Ho Ho, to everyone 🙂 Chips, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here on The *Obama Diary*, looks nice, puts us In the spirit. You are so creative. Thank you Chips 🙂 I’ve been missing In action for the last few days, My Son Is visiting me from New Hampshire, Hehehe, and we have been on the go, doing things, and spending quality time, just enjoying each other’s company. I’ll probably be spending little time, here for the next week or so, but please know that I still love all and each of you, and have youselves a MERRY OLE ChRISTMAS from me 🙂
Enjoy every minute with your son, Luci! Have a completely perfect Christmas, we’ll catch up soon 😉
Ah thank you Chips, Okay 🙂 🙂 🙂
😆 A comment on TPM: something else to blame PBO for!
ROTFLMAO!
hahahahahhahhahahahahahhahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha!!!!
HAHAHAHA! Love this new “blame” game.
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny how they harp about “personal responsibility” EXCEPT. WHEN. IT’S. THEM!
Mittens is going to have LOTS of trouble with this. Good!

As an avid listener of foreign radio — especially the various BBC stations — this is why US radio sucks:
Hello TOD Family – it’s been a long, long time since I have posted here (due to work and personal health issues). But I’ve been reading when I can.
I had to just post when I came across this article, it really resonated with me, as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs was totally spot on. One of my biggest pet peeves and what I find totally phony and disgusting about Republicans is this notion of “listening to the generals”. That’s not a sign of leadership – in fact it’s totally opposite!! That’s an abdication of leadership !!
The whole point of being the President of the United States and being Commander – in- Chief is that you have to make the best judgement for the country and the world, not just bowing to what the military says. Quite frankly there is NO ONE QUALIFIED to be a Presidential candidate on the GOP side, and it makes me so angry that people can even think about putting any of those losers in office.
http://www.nationaljournal.com/dempsey-candidate-remarks-offensive–20111218#.Tu9CwIO3E2Q.twitter
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey blasted a common refrain heard on the GOP presidential campaign trail – that as president candidates would listen to the generals – as “offensive.”….”And here’s why. One of the things that makes us as a military profession in a democracy is civilian rule. Our civilian leaders are under no obligation to accept our advice; and that’s what it is. Its advice. It’s military judgments, it’s alternatives, it’s options. And at the end of the day, our system is built on the fact that it will be our civilian leaders who make that decision and I don’t find that in any way to challenge my manhood, nor my position. In fact, if it were the opposite, I think we should all be concerned.”
I love reading all the wonderful news at TOD, and miss being around. I hope it won’t be a long time before I delurk again. I wish everyone a Happy Holidays, and that everyone is doing well.
Hey there pinkbunny! Glad to see ya! Remember you from TOAITR days 🙂 Welcome back!
Hey hopefruit !! Thanks so much and you’re so sweet!! I’ve missed being here and definitely remember you as well!! 🙂
Hiya pinkbunny, so sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. How are you doing now?
Hi Chipsticks!! I’m hanging in there, sometimes the only bright spot in my day is coming here and seeing the beautiful photos, the real truths about what’s happening, and reading the funny comments people make here.
As I’ve stopped linking on any site unless it comes from a reliable blog site, I’ve stopped listening to the stupid lies and which has done wonders for my blood pressure 🙂
You’re doing an amazing and awesome job!! I know it takes A LOT of time and energy, and I’m just so grateful to have a haven against the madness out there.
Glad that you popped in to say hi, and send us that great article 🙂 Hurry back!!
Plus, Dempsey seems like he’s got some fun in him. I’m sure he’s seen the horrors of war, but he also seems smart and balanced. Imagine that I like this guy!!
OMG! Welcome back. Nice to see you again. so to speak.
Excellently stated by JCS. A kick in the nuts for the nutz like mccian and graham.
Rep McDermott on Rev. Al saying Rusty Boner, Weeper of the House, is a puppet attached to a string held by Little Lord Can’tor. These two are so fricking dumb! They need to be run out of the House in fear of being tarred and feathered. Sometimes I miss colonial justice. 😐
I hope that the Democrats in the House can wrangle it so that enough House Republicans defect to vote for the passage of the bill. so many millions of Americans are going to be affected, and to do this so close to the holidays – the GOP are all heartless and selfish – worse than Scrooge, as at least he learned his lesson!
I hope that come Nov 2012, the American people wise up and vote these Republican losers and we win back the House and put a real Speaker of the House back in her rightful position!!!
I agree with it all, Boehner is the sorriest Speaker of all time. I have long wonder is he the Speaker or is Cantor? Every chance I get I want to remind those who didn’t vote in 2010, thank to you not voting we got the Tea Party in the House, we got Speaker Boehner, we got all these crazy radical Tea party Republicans.
More TPM comment snark:
LOL 🙂
For Me….Thanks :0)!
An all-star list of progressive and liberal media folks came to the White House today to chat with President Obama over coffee in the Roosevelt Room.
The group chatted with the president about economic messaging, his agenda for 2012, the various campaign arguments against different GOP candidates, the desire among some Democrats for him to highlight his foreign policy accomplishments, fighting corporate influence and the “crappiness” of the Senate filibuster , as one attendee put it.
Those there included the Washington Post‘s Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent, MSNBC anchors Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, the Nation’s editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, the New York Times‘ Frank Bruni, and stars of the interwebs Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Faiz Shakir of ThinkProgress and Joy Reid of The Reid Report.
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/potus-has-coffee-with-progressive-media-stars/#.Tu_GCXa6w5g.twitter
Wow, how did some of those egos fit in to one room? 😆
All I can say is Wow to this Chips. I hope he told them to stop the bashing and concentrate more on accomplishments.
He used the Roosevelt Room for just this reason. It could hold all those “big heads” at once. Geesh!!!
Ha, I’m not sure even that would be big enough!
So the President had those media folks over to the White House? Let’s see if Ed , Rachel, Hayes, Joy Reid mention this. Boy my President is smart. He had a reason for doing this.
Where were Chris Matthews? Maybe POTUS didn’t appreciate the attack on FLOTUS. Be careful how you run your mouth Tweety.
I can’t believe that fraud Huffington was invited. She’s been bashing the President from day one…
He has done this several times since he took office. Rachel has gone before. I’m not sure about Ed. From what I can remember, at least in the past, the discussions are off the record so they can speak generally about the visit but nothing specific.
BTW if my memory serves me correct Miss HuffNPuff turned down her invitation last year because she had a scheduling conflict. Can you believe that crap….she was too busy to go see the President. I cannot stand that woman!
Who are you talking about, Arianna the “Bitch”.
Has joy reid gone pl too ? She used to be sensible.
I’m glad to see Joy Reid there. Of all the AA liberal bloggers, Joy’s always the most sensible and reasonable with commenting on politics and the Obama admininstration.
The rest of them…meh!
Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer.
puke. {nose turned up like I smell something rancid= emoprogs and dipshit born again dems. F-ers}
I am with you Lisa! I detest most of these people. Other than Joy Reid, I just don’t trust any of them. PERIOD.
How many times was Huff n Stuff heard saying, “you just don’t get it” ? I hope Katrina gave him some lessons on talking to white folks.
I posted without signing in Chips. My bad.
Found ya and freed ya COS!
thx Chis.
The Whitehouse should have asked us to to invite. Rev. Al and Steve Benen should have topped the list as they are the only ones that have not bashed the President.
Jackie, I agree about Steve Benen, but Rev. Al has been to the WH over 40X (that was the last count from a reporter interviewing the Rev. several months ago). I think that’s why some of these folks are upset. The Rev. doesn’t always talk about it, but he has direct access most of the time, and they don’t—-they’re very upset. If they could come to the WH that much, they would be hawking so many books it would make your head spin. The Rev. hasn’t done that—-that’s why Chris Matthews is so hot under the collar.
P.S. Some of Rev. Al’s visits were receptions, but you can guess he’s talked to the President quite a bit through contacting Valerie Jarrett. These PL egos must have been seething with jealousy over this…..and they just get coffee for a little while with a group and not one-on-one with PBO.
Actually I get the impression that PBO likes to confront his adversaries. I bet not one of them said the things to his face that they say when they are in print or on the cable tee vee!
I totally agree with you Donna. I am sure Ed was out of control and asked him a whole bunch of questions. PBO shold have told him that he was partially responsible for the 2010 debacle.
He kicked their collective ass. None of them had the guts to lie about him in his face.
Well from my own personal experience he does exude a certain charm with that golden voice that just makes you melt and your heart go pitter-patter so I guess he had them eating out of the palm of his hand while looking him in the face but I’m sure they quickly reverted back to the mean old professional left after they left his presence. 🙂
Had to come out of lurking to say your comment made me smile. I see you are still on cloud nine after the Presidential phone call. 🙂
Hope these leftie critters can be trusted.
🙂
Yup, That’s one of the things that I LOVE about my president. He walks right up to his ‘enemies’ and deals, straight, no chaser. LOVE THAT MAN!!!
I agree.
GOOD POINT. Steve Benen should be first and foremost.
Don’t worry Mr. Benen will get there.
Steve doesn’t need a smackdown like these clowns.
It doesn’t have to be a smackdown.
I would bet that he talks to Rev Al often, and he is probably invited to the WH often. You are right. Benen should have topped the list. I love, love Steve Benen. Benen is consistent and his posts and always make me feel better when others are seeing the bad instead of the good in what PBO is doing.
Gov. Scott Walker said Monday a lawsuit filed by his campaign and the state Republican Party over recall petitions was designed to protect the integrity of the recall process.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in Waukesha County Circuit Court asks a judge to order the state Government Accountability Board to look for and eliminate duplicate signatures, clearly fake names and illegible addresses. The GAB has said challengers have to bring up any issues with signatures.
At a news conference Monday, Walker mentioned a news report of a person saying he signed a recall petition at least 80 times is a sign that the GAB should take additional steps to review the petitions.
http://www.jsonline.mobi/blogs/news/135868053.html?ua=iphone&dc=smart&c=y
Oh, ohkay!
I don’t believe a serious person would sign 80 times….it was probably someone working for the Republicans.
Me neither!
What if they put it on novembers ballot with all others?
Have those do nothing idiots in the House voted down that bill yet?
Reports have the vote taking place at 3AM tomorrow morning.
3 AM ???? I am having flashbacks of the Bush tax cuts and Medicare Part D.
This video almost made me cry.
Lovvvveeee the snow, Chip.
While I have no love for Newt Gingrich, hearing all of the money going against him in Iowa, and seeing how quickly his poll numbers dropped – it’s scary. They say it’s been $3-4 million dollars in print and tv negative ads. This does not bode well for our democracy in general.
He has a glass chin!
He has no money to fight back with. The idiot was dead in the water 6 weeks ago and then Cain imploded and he became the flavor of the month after doing little to no fundraising over the summer with zero organization in the early states. He was an easy target.
You and Jovie make good points. he was an easy target and with no money, he couldn’t do much to fight back. But dayum…he sure did get pummeled, and fast! They said Mitt benefitted from the Super PACs especially since he doesn’t have to stand behind the negative ads. Typically, once a candidate goes negative it will hurt the opponent’s poll numbers, but the downside is that it will hurt the negative candidate as well. Mitt didn’t have to worry about the blowback from going negative when it’s some anonymous random outfit doing the dirty work for him. So unfair and shady.
And it’s only just beginning. Remember that nauseating “celebrity” ad that we were subjected to at every commercial during the summer Olympics by the McCain Camp in 2008 well that will look that mince-meat compared to what these PACs will throw at the President next year. I’m not looking forward to any of this.
I hated that celebrity ad. We’ll need lots of prayer and pepto this time around…it’ll be so much dirtier. The shady mailers, robocalls…it’s not just going to be ads on tv. That’s why when you hear that all of the GOP money is going to PACs and other groups, rather than the RNC etc, it’s clear that this election is going to be fought by money from unknown, outside sources.
There are so many people in the House currently and those in the past that remember working with Newt when he put a “Contract on America”. I was listening to some of the republicans who worked with him and who came there after him and said what a horrible person he was and they don’t want to work with him again. There was NO WAY the GOP war lords would allow Newt Leroy to get back into power because they know power goes to his head…both of them.
Newt is promoting Calista’s book instead of campaigning like should; especially in Iowa.
President Obama Reportedly Sent A Congratulatory Letter To A Married Gay Couple
That’s our Prez!! Just doing nice things for people under the radar! Just like that airport story before he was famous where he paid for a woman’s luggage.
Hi everyone, new pic (post) here:
https://obamadiary.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/on-call-7/
I believe this president can sleep well at night no matter what anyone says about him because of Americans like Emily. God bless President Barack Obama all the very long healthy and happy years to come of his life.
