Agree with everyone, that this State Dinner is “tingly,” LOL.
Love the camaraderie and joy on display between countries who share one of the longest borders in the world.
Those who pine for Jack and Jackie (Kennedy) haven’t adjusted their WSSQ (white supremacy status quo) POV — both couples are dynamic, engaging and beautiful.
West Wing Reports is WRONG! The best looking couples are the Obamas and the Trudeaus. I saw most of the people enter….I don’t know Ryan Reynolds, but I didn’t see anyone who outshone the first couples. Besides, they shine from the inside, which is where beauty begins.
Nope. Best looking couple are Barack and Michelle Obama. The Obamas are Knockouts.
First Lady Michelle is more and more stunning. Going through 7 years of Presidency can’t be rejuvenating, but PBO is genuinely handsome. And so it was…
MSM (WSSQ - white supremacy status quo, meaning white is default) perpetuate the notion that Jackie O was the most elegant and sophisticated First Lady, when in fact she was rail thin and smoked like a chimney.
It’s now the 21st century, and no First Lady before Michelle Obama could have looked as stunning in the dress that Michelle wore at the India State Dinner:
So glad we got a glimpse of her ankle strap shoes. She has so much style, she just knocks your socks off. PBO must just beam with pride every time she steps out in one of her state dinner gowns.
Beautiful couples. Our POTUS and FLOTUS are so gracious. Going to miss them so much in the WH, so I will pray that I will have the honor and grace to be alive to see them continue to do so much for this country and the world.
HZ, we’ve all been blessed to live through this time. I firmly believe that the brilliance, humanity and magnificence of our President and First Lady have been a great gift given to the American people. Those who have eyes to see have recognized the gift and rejoiced in it. Those who rejected the gift chose to be blind. Hope you’re doing well, dear friend.
She might miss all the special clothes and help with hair and makeup. She will look wonderful no matter what, but being primped by the best could become habit forming.
I just need to get through tomorrow. Of course the other Aunts want me to read at the service so I’ll have to put on my big girl pants before I leave the house in the morning. This ain’t gonna be easy!!! :(
I hear you, but I know you’ll wear those pants well, because…… you are you! Yes, it won’t be easy, however, I suspect Aunts asked you because they know your strengths (in the midst of it all). For what it’s worth, I/we will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending thoughts for whatever you need your way.
Wonderful ad! Initially, I was not for Hillary Clinton because of the way her and Bill Clinton behaved in 2008. After Martin O’Malley dropped out, and she stopped running against President Obama, I took a second look at Hillary and I liked what I saw. I am now “all-in- with Hillary”!
Crikey, that sounds like one of my weirder dreams. If she is, in fact, describing a dream, the fact-checkers will scramble her …. like the Bosnian sniper story :???:
POTUS tells a story about when PM Pierre Trudeau introduced his 4-month son Justin to the public, he introduced him as the future Prime Minister of Canadian and here we are… :-D
POTUS to PM: Mr. Prime Minister, after tonight I’m know here in America you are the most popular Canadian named Justin. :-D
I got that wrong. It was Nixon proposing a toast at the State Dinner with Pierre Trudeau - toast to “the future Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Pierre Trudeau.” He was 4 months old at the time.
wow that’s some crazy self hate going on there with Carson. How does he endorse a known racist and sleep at night? Of course that’s true of everyone endorsing this pig.
I’m so glad I caught the toasts! Missed the beginning of POTUS’ though. He still didn’t nail Mississauga though. :-) There’s no “gwa” at the end, it’s just “gaw”. But I love how he just gamely tries whatever and just carries on! :-D Also liked how PM Trudeau kept urging his mother to stand up and be acknowledged.
OMG, Malia is really GORGEOUS. Just so beautiful. She’s seated next to Lorne Michaels and Sandra Oh. Interesting choices since she’s interested in film.
Duuuuuuuuuudette!
Wooooooot! That’s me! :-D
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl! :lol:
:-D
I love FLOTUS’ dress. It’s gorgeous and her hair is perfection!

My word! What a beautiful picture of two gorgeous couples! That needs to be someone’s avatar or screensaver.
Just saw Pete Souza make a quick cameo appearance after the group photos at the bottom of the staircase. :-)
Aw, missed that!
Fashion BAWSE!
GE TODville.

WWR, I saw Ryan and Blake and they were not the best looking couple.
Nope. Best looking couple are Barack and Michelle Obama. The Obamas are Knockouts.

PBO is a classic. He just cain’t help it.
Oh, I agree completely.

Cool!
FLOTUS is stunning!!!! :) And her beau isn’t half bad either!
Dayum! Michelle is like everything, beautiful back and shoulders, stunning legs, great dress and that hair; my, my, my. Fifty is the new 30.
:D :D :D
Man I hope he gets nominated….we might actually take control of both houses of Congress even w/ the current redistricting limitations!
She might miss all the special clothes and help with hair and makeup. She will look wonderful no matter what, but being primped by the best could become habit forming.
Wow!
Directed by President Fitzgerald too :cool:
I’m loving that ad!
Those Morgan Freeman ads and now this one are outstanding.
I think they are premiering on all the Shondaland shows tonight…
Apparently HRC agrees with you, Donna!
Those ladies are effective.
{{{DD}}}
Was thinking of you (and the family) earlier!
I just need to get through tomorrow. Of course the other Aunts want me to read at the service so I’ll have to put on my big girl pants before I leave the house in the morning. This ain’t gonna be easy!!! :(
Donna, many, many hugs to you. The strength will come to you when you need it. Bless you and may your beloved aunt rest in peace.
Many thanks JG and VC and much <3 to all of my TOD friends for their kind words of support and strength today!
I hear you, but I know you’ll wear those pants well, because…… you are you! Yes, it won’t be easy, however, I suspect Aunts asked you because they know your strengths (in the midst of it all). For what it’s worth, I/we will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending thoughts for whatever you need your way.
Sending you strength and love to make it through.
Dear Donna, sending you love and hugs for tomorrow and as long as you need us.
What a great, great Hillary ad!! All of these women are magnificent!
She recruited the heavy hitters!
OMG very powerful I want to hang out with them.
SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful ad! Initially, I was not for Hillary Clinton because of the way her and Bill Clinton behaved in 2008. After Martin O’Malley dropped out, and she stopped running against President Obama, I took a second look at Hillary and I liked what I saw. I am now “all-in- with Hillary”!
This is a pretty crazy anecdote
Crikey, that sounds like one of my weirder dreams. If she is, in fact, describing a dream, the fact-checkers will scramble her …. like the Bosnian sniper story :???:
that was my immediate thought too.
Bosnian sniper story didn’t go so well for her! ….I think it is from her memoir ‘Living History’ ….in reference to her stay there last night:
From the luncheon at the State Dept earlier today
YES!
:D
CSPAN is showing POTUS doing his toast now!

Thanks to CSPAN video. :-D
POTUS shouts out his brother-in-law who is from Canada, Conrad Ng! :-D
POTUS pays tribute to the PM’s mother Mrs. Margaret Trudeau, who is there tonight. Room gives her a standing ovation.

Ooops, their stream just ended. Sorry.

GE sherijr.
GOP Presidential candidates apparently live in an alternate reality.
LOL that is hilarious!
PM Trudeau giving his toast now, I guess I missed POTUS’ toast :(
No worries, you can watch both toasts on CSPAN - VOD

OMG, Malia is really GORGEOUS. Just so beautiful. She’s seated next to Lorne Michaels and Sandra Oh. Interesting choices since she’s interested in film.
That’s what I said when they showed her- gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what she does with her future.
She looks like an adult! OMG.
she really does, so poised.
:D :D :D
:D :D :D :D
Hello there old friend! I ran across this today and thought of you….some crazy stuff man!
This is so rich in irony if not for the fact that a man was apparently murdered.
I lo;)d Pierre Trudeau. Beautiful Canadian couple! I have to say that Justin looks about 17 though, :)
No he didn’t :D :D: :D
I can’t wait for the White House Correspondents Dinner….I thought I had seen it all with Luther last year!
Yes, he did. I just heard him say in on the CSPAN video replay. LOL! :-D
:D
I bet this was very moving for the family.
My gosh, Sasha is so grown up.
oh my goodness she looks so grown up- and like her sister- so gorgeous :)
WOW!!!!!!
She is so beautiful!!!
Social Secretary: Who do you want to sit beside at the State Dinner.
Malia: Are you kidding? Sandra Oh! :-D
That’s exactly who I’d want to sit beside if I were her age.
OMG! That’s NBC’s Lorne Michaels (SNL boss) sitting on Malia’s other side. She did a stint at NBC as a summer intern, if I’m remembering correctly.
