Congratulations, Allison. I am so proud of my President. This is a day that belongs to me as a working American. He is a working American too. He works hard. I know that President Obama likes to work. I remember on the day after his first Inauguration he was volunteering in painting at some location and he would have done more but I believe the Secret Service wouldn’t let him. Love his attitude towards work. He is a work-a-holic like me. Thank you, Mr. President.
So Russia will be sending delegations to talk with Congress? Seriously? The same Russia that thumbed her nose on Us….using Snowden to do so? The same Russia who held out on Us….where the Boston Bomber Tsarnev was concerned? Why would Congress want to listen to Russia?
They are disrespecting the US and the Office of the presidency. They took an oath. Their right hands were raised and their left hands placed on their own preferred Holy Books.
Not sure how updated your news are, but I just read a bit of Germany news that says that apparently the BND (German secret service) has been gathering more and more proofs that the attack was done by Assad. There is talking about a phone call that has been intercepted to someone close to the regime where that person admits apparently Assad “lost his nerves” over Damaskus. I bet tehre is gonna be quite some negotiation going on at the summit this week. I expect my chancellor will have to hang out with Putin quite a bit (on a side note: she speaks excellent Russian).
During a record-breaking Labor Day Weekend for Hollywood, Lee Daniels’ The Butler led the way with an estimated $20 million over the long weekend, edging out boy-band One Direction‘s This is Us to become the first film of 2013 to hold the top spot at the box office for three consecutive weekends. With nearly $80 million in the bank, compared to its $30 million budget, The Butler is well-positioned to surpass $100 million at the box office, and catapult its director past its star into the top ten highest-grossing black directors of all time.
Hey, I found a picture from the #MOW50 Ceremony last week with me in it! I’m the hottie in the purple sweater (literally hot & sweaty) near the front right corner of the wading pool. Squint and you can’t miss me. 😎
Thanks, hon! I did see them now that you brought them close. 😀 I know the feeling about breathing the same open air as the Os, and being ‘there’ as opposed to being on the couch at home!
Frankly, I’m still hopeful that TODvillage (regulars) will plan a WH tour in the not too distant future, before 2016. It would be the icing on the cake if a group from here did the tour AND GOT LUCKY ENOUGH to bump into FLOTUS, Bo and Sunny….and that other Obama guy, of course. 😉

Since the Second World War, governments and armies have gradually forsworn weapons that do not distinguish between soldiers and civilians. These include nuclear, biological, and chemical arms, and also land mines and cluster munitions. The treaties that ban such arms are building blocks in a decades-long campaign by human-rights activists to insist that warfare be subordinated to international law, that soldiers attack only other soldiers, and that generals be held accountable for where they aim their weapons..
Thanks prettyfoot, for sharing this. My nephew, a law professor, and a Human Rights Watch Board member, has been actively involved in the development of International Humanitarian Law. As he puts it, the world has a responsibility to hold the Syrian regime accountable for using banned chemical weapons.

Hello!!
Helloooooo Allson!
Hi Allison! Congrats and Happy Labor Day!
Thank you all!
So sorry President Obama had to meet with those two bums today!
Those two faced bums have flakeys in the senate. They are being utilized to get enough TBGOers to get the senate to OK this strike in Syria.
Those two want and love to be in any War, Conflict or bombings.
Hello there, handsome.
Is it just me or does he look like he needs a good night´s sleep?

Thank you Layla, Dudette, Nena – it’s the thought that matters 🙂
Jacqueline, Jackie, zizii and anyone I missed, thank you!!
All of you are too kind. Much appreciated.
So Russia will be sending delegations to talk with Congress? Seriously? The same Russia that thumbed her nose on Us….using Snowden to do so? The same Russia who held out on Us….where the Boston Bomber Tsarnev was concerned? Why would Congress want to listen to Russia?
To disrespect the first black President. Nothing more, nothing less.
They are disrespecting the US and the Office of the presidency. They took an oath. Their right hands were raised and their left hands placed on their own preferred Holy Books.
Exactly, Allison!

Thank you for that insight!
Oh yeh!!!
Nice.
God I miss this man!
Me too!
from 2007 when the minimum was was only $ 5.15 ?
I just got two automated calls about suspicious activity on my Bank of America Debit Card. Two problems.
1. My name is not Katie Burt
2. I don’t have a BOA debit card.
BTW, glad to see I made it back in time to celebrate 21 million, which will be this week.
You are our number one counter watcher, Japa!
Have to be good for something.
Aw!!
Sweet!!! Party time!!!!
I just don’t know what to say to this…
These people are freakin’ incredible. SMH
David Horowitz and his parents were members of the Communist Party in America. Pay no attention to him
Ugly Stupidity is as Ugly Stupid gets. No mercy for the Wicked.
Dudette, he’s a delight, that Horowitz guy:

What a piece of work this guy is! Pffft!
Pure filth, Dudette.
OMG.

Great minds think alike, Dudette!
This “man” is vile. Very similar to that Breitbrat [typo intentional] fellow.
Dudette, thanks! that’s my theme song 🙂
ok. I’m going out to play and bum some b-b-q

EXCELLENT!!!
Even my 5-year old niece made a comment about how it’s weird that One Direction calls themselves 1D (I have hope for the future 🙂
Forest Whittaker and Oprah Winfrey deserve Oscars.

😀 😀 😀 I bet you brought a smile to Pete Souza’s face.
I sure hope so, Bob! He’s brought so many smiles to my face, it’s only fair to return the favor at least once. 🙂
I seeeeee youuuuu, Dude!!
See me waving? -D
Yes, I do! You see me waving back, right?
Sure do! 😀
So you DID make it? I’ve been trying to find out your take for DAYS now! Finally decided you didn’t want to share. /pout – pout/
Sorry VC. I did post some stuff a couple of days ago. I’ll go find it and point you to it.
Thanks, hon! I did see them now that you brought them close. 😀 I know the feeling about breathing the same open air as the Os, and being ‘there’ as opposed to being on the couch at home!

With Susan Rice.
Boom !
McCain is a complete jerk and Lindsay gets on my very last nerve. I don’t know how PBO can stand it. OOOoooofff!
You think they are ‘sensitive’ enough to be irked by her presence after the kerfuffle they made about her re SoS position? 😀
Inorite? BENGHAAAAZIIIIIIIIII
That might be most-loved pic EVER!!!!! 😆
You know POTUS is lovin’ it!!
McCain probably thinks she is the stenographer – Graham has no power of thought.
LOLzzzzz!!
Wouldn’t you pay ANYTHING to see the thought bubbles over their heads? 😎
Seriously, just when you think PBO couldn’t be any more hardcore SWAG, he goes beyond his step just to play with your head!!
+ 100,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!
LOVE IT!

Happy Labor Day TOD family
