This made my day!
:)
Excuse me as I ugly cry
go right ahead … I already beat you to it … and still going at it
What a blissful post - love yaaaaaaaaaaaa Nerdy!!
:)
This hashtag gives me so much life, tears, and joy. What a wonderful man and leader we have in President Barack Obama. There truly is no one and will never be anyone like him.

Thank you Nerdy for putting all these pictures in on spot…back to back to back smiling. :-D :-D :-D
:)
My latest favorite #ObamaAndKids is the recent one from the oval office when a little girl was fiercely clutching his leg and her older sister was looking up at him.
THANK YOU NERDY FOR ALL OF THE AMAZING PIX WITH PBO AND THE KIDS…THERE NEEDS TO BE A BOOK JUST ON THESE PHOTOS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SPECIAL!
THAT’S IT!!!…WE NEED A GREAT BIG COFFEETABLE BOOK FILLED WITH THESE..PRICELESS!
:)
These photos and hashtag Obama and babies tweets are fantastic. Thank you so much for compiling them here. My jaw hurts from smiling so much!
Donald J. Trump said that maybe Obama would have attended Scalia’s funeral if it was held in a Mosque.
Is the media ignoring:
That the Scalia family suggested it would be best for PBO for many reasons to attend the event yesterday (rather than the funeral).
Only 4 out of the last 7 funerals for a Supreme Court Justice have been attended by President or Vice-President.
I DON’T NEED TO LEAVE A COMMENT HERE BECAUSE IT IS BETTER LEFT UNSAID!..I HOPE GOD PUTS HIM IN A TEACHING POSITION IN A BLACK COLLEGE………………FOREVA!
President Obama and children…ALWAYS brings a big smile to my face. :-D I never get tired of looking at them.
Ah, Nerdy, you’ve turned me into a puddle. Can’t help feeling weepy and smiley at the same time. Thanks for this perfect Saturday afternoon treat.
:)
the beautiful child in native American dance attire- just love that one too!
With all he has to contend with dealing with the spoiled brats in DC, being around children, with their pureness of heart, is probably a balm to his soul and rejuvenates his spirit.
So my older brother the Republican phoned and he sounds like he’ll never be a Republican again. We talked for over an hour about politics, something we don’t do very often. But he did vote for PBO twice (thanks, W!!) and now he’s sickened by Trump and Cruz. He’s embarrassed for our nation that someone like Trump even has a shot at the presidency calling him vile and disgusting. I think he’ll be voting DEM again this year. WOOT!!
counting this one for Team Dem;
from now until Nov and beyond: your mission Meta, should you choose to accept it, is to handle him with the greatest care that you usually show us here. you know best what to do … so many of us know so many people whose lives will be negatively affected by a gop win
Thanks, gcl. I think he’s already there. He’s really just looking at the whole GOP mess in horror and thinking about his grandchildren. What kind of world does he want them to inherit? He really just kept going on and on and on about how the GOP is so offensive to him. I was a bit surprised at the strength of his disdain but very happy that he’s been so influenced by PBO and the good work he’s done.
Good news, Meta! And I like to think your brother is part of a trend, not just brought on by the embarrassing antics of the GOP candidates, but by the fact that PBO has gently, calmly, inexorably educated Americans about the issues. Sure, there are still going to be some pond-scum types who still vote the George Wallace ticket, but people with some smarts have to see the reality of what it actually takes to be a president. I have a nephew that has posted a lot of Trump smut on FB, but lately, there’s been nothing… I like to think it’s a sea-change.
Yes, susanne, I think that is what is happening. My brother served this country, is a kind and decent man who raised his two sons with strong values. I think he is reckoning with his own politics over time and has come to see and realize that times have changed in a very BIG and important way. I’ll never forget the day he pulled me aside in a different room to tell me he was voting for Senator Obama!!!! He was also very proud that I went to Denver to volunteer at the DNC nominating convention. What a whirlwind!
Hope and Change, still working just fine! :)
What out of control brats these Bernie supporters are! Do they honestly think this kind of behavior will win them the hearts and votes of Latinos? I hope Bernie lost big at this site.
Once again…Bernie has shown us who he is…When someone shows us who they are…we should believe them!!!!!
True that!
WTF! Well, if you want to know something about a person’s character, look at those with whom he surrounds himself. PBO demanded that we have civility at all times no matter the provocation (which was very hard to do at times), while Sanders refuses to rein in these hooligans and thugs. PBO, on the other hand, asked Samantha Powers who he likes and respect, to stand down from her position on the campaign when she made a public disparaging comment about Hillary in 2008.
Bernie’s campaign is giving a lot of “WTF” moments…and this is while they appear to have been confident that they would win…what happens when they feel less confident and more desperate?
Or competence, ceb. Does BS have FP advisors yet?
YES!!! Now on to S. Carolina and Super Tuesday.
Ease On Down …Ease On Down the Road…Don’t you carry nothing that might be on load…Just Ease on Down Ease on Down the Road….On to SouthCarolina
Dancing…doing my own lil TOUCHDOWN dance…yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m right behind you… :-)
No one does touchdown celebrations like McCringleberry & Mathias…
HA! :D :D
Here is a breakdown of what is left…..CNN currently debating if Hillary wins is it really a win….still haven’t called it for her either:
Reminds me of when Karl Rove refused to believe that the President had won OHIO
Oh for Heaven’s sake. If Bernie had these numbers CNN would be headlining a dramatic, overwhelming defeat for Hillary Clinton. They are so in the tank for BS.
LOL..CNN haz a sad….the facts are staring them in the face but they’re in heavy denial….
A big victory for Hillary in the face of voter fraud, outspent, and GOP pushing for Sanders. This happened today. There is something fundamentally toxic in the Sanders campaign. Toxic and racist.
Some will say you can’t paint the whole campaign by this brush. But there was a Bernie campaign precinct manager leading this hateful display. And there will be no apology from Bernie or any of his underlings.
Bernie can only apologize so many times before it’s considered going through the motions and insincere.
This is who Bernie is…Believe him!!!
I think it’s that “no apology” bit that finally sunk in, with me. We’ve just had (still more time to go, thankfully) eight years of leadership from the most dignified President we’ll probably see in a long while, and there’s simply no comparison between the two. Lead or get off the pot (something like that), Bernie.
How ’bout ‘lead or go smoke pot’?
The supporters reflect the candidate. Either BS has no ability to lead, or he condones this behavior. I am constantly astounded at his pettiness. Ends justify the means. Great moral hero my ass
Toxic and racist, indeed, Bill. All the forces were aligned against HRC in this race and she pulled it out for a win. Good for her and good for all of us.
This may encompass the greatest story no one is telling. Perhaps Barack Obama will usher in a reverse southern strategy with Republicans of good will realizing that things have changed and if they seek an inclusive, good governance approach with dignity for their fellow men and women they are now Democrats. I think it might be happening. One time we were tabling for the President at the county fair in 2012 and an acquaintance walked up and asked what its like to be a Democrat. He was a Republican. That was before Trump. We sat with him and told him as much as we could about what we admire in the President’s approach. I had an email notification list he joined and I sent him many positive articles about progress and inclusiveness. Who knows how many will decide this election cycle that they are no longer a part of the new John Birch society (GOP).
Primaries should be closed. Lots of evidence that BS campaign was urging GOP to register as Dems for the day. If it has been a close caucus, numbers would have been higher.
I think Sanders’ campaign is teeming with RW operatives…I also believe that a good chunk of his donations come from that segment…
I agree with you, Hopefruit. Sanders is also being supported by the so called libertarians who supported Ron Paul.
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when PBO and his family leave the White House …. at least in my household
now there is a serious effort afoot of people trying to trivialize the NV win … moving the goal posts again as they do for PBO
End racism?? This from the same people that denied Dolores Huerta? I don’t think so.
“check” (rolls eyes)
THIS!!!!!
Bernie is proud of the campaign they ran. Does this mean that he didn’t know how his campaign was being run, or does it mean that he was *okay* with what his campaigners were doing???
Like New Hampshire,, Hillary Won Iowa! Even though it was so close.. she Made History! Gracias Nerdy <3
The Impact of Twitter…and our LOVE for our President…hits mainstream
I just love, love, love how #ObamaAndKids has gone so far in less than 24 hours! more people are seeing and celebrating what we have been a part of for so long.

Si Se Puede!
Insulting Congressman John Lewis and Ms. Dolores Huerta, all in a space of 1 week leaves me dumbfounded at the arrogance and open disdain of these people.
…. and to think that they feel they are doing this as the best defenders of socio-economic and racial justice …. I have no words to add
and yet Sanders won the Latino vote, I just do not get that.
Entrance polls.
oh, thanks 57.
look at these numbers….not sure what to make of them
sorry these are the numbers
Why still entrance poll numbers? Waiting for real numbers. I can’t believe BS best her by 8 pts with Latinos
ok…that is good to know…i do not watch polls…will be waiting for the final tally
Nerdy, thank you for the BEAUTIFUL post!
:)
They do talk b.s. Nothing to do with the next President - everything to do with hating on the current President.
Oh I love these tweets more than I can say, so perfect and so representative of the decency warmth and goodness that is our amazing President. I can stand the thought of him going.
Have been cleaning my 100 yr old attic for a couple of weeks, keeping my mind outta politics as much as possible… and what do I find up there but an article about the GOP from 1941. Can’t get away from this stuff! :)
Did see that Hillary won Nevada, my first feeling was one of being glad- so I must be supporting her a bit at this point.
cannot stand
Wow. So embarrassing to all Democrats that she even had to comment on these awful actions of a few. In 2016.
We shall continue to move FORWARD. Si Se Puede!
And still Sanders won the Latino vote; what is this about?
Maybe he won with the Latino young voters.
Entrance polls. We don’t know actual vote and I don’t know why not.
Disgusting! I wish people would study the history of the Progressive Movement. While the progressives championed breaking up cartels and trusts, most progressives did not believe in racial equality. Quite a few of them, including President Woodrow Wilson, were white supremacists.
yeahhh….
This tweet needs to be front-paged!
I love that PBO’s staff jumped in on this hashtag, even though it’s a Saturday afternoon.
Noticed that, too! They’re so “IN” !!!
Thank you to the Obama Coalition in Nevada (saving the country from stupidity once again)!
HA! #ObamaAndKids has been trending all day…. smilin
Ahhh, that was so cute to include this one.
Wow! I never realized how much he resembles his grandfather!
Pretty Foot, maybe you can help me with some info on this (want to ask Donna Dem too, next time she’s around) or any other TODers who may have ideas:
I have a dear and longtime friend who is interested in mentoring teenage girls. I was wondering do you know of a similar organization to My Brother’s Keeper for women and girls? My friend loves PBO, is a corporate executive, a wonderful yoga teacher and she has raised two boys that are now doing well in college. She would make a fantastic mentor. If any of you who are active in mentoring know of any organizations I can steer her to, let me know. She lives in the Bay area but is also in SoCal often.
Just looked at my phone. Checked the time. 4:44 :) You bet I am!!
I am, too, even though the current time is no longer 4:44 !
Now I’m crying
This is one of the most dishonest tweets I’ve seen today:
THEY NEVER STOP BLAMING THE WORLD ON OBAMA DO THEY!…CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLARY…I WILL VOTE FOR HER TO CONTINUE PBO’S POLICIES..IF SHE GIVES HIM ANY TROUBLE..I’LL TAKE MY VOTE BACK!……………….HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT EVERYONE!..<3
Bernie Sanders’ supporters are behaving like Republicans. Ryan Lizza tweets a plainly “dishonest” statement because he knows that the MSM, which hates President Obama, will not challenge it.
What is he, stupid? Living in a cave? OMG.. purposely obtuse?!!
BS’s insults and lies are like rwingers.
Mahalo, hopefruit.
New post:

This is a developing trend…low voter turn out:
GE all.
This is the worrying thing this election cycle.
Whoever the Democratic nominnee will need PBO,FLOTUS, VP and Dr Biden to campaign really hard!
They will. I think turnout is low because most voters are not as engaged as we are and just assume it will be HRC. They aren’t as fired up about her, so they’re not bothering in the Primaries. But, come November, after POTUS, FLOTUS, VP, and Bill are out in force doing what they do best to fire the voters up, and especially facing whoever wins the clown car race on the other side, Dem voters (and a few sane used-to-be-Repubs, I imagine) will come out for her when it counts.
