Hey Chips and TOD.
COS!!!!!!!
Congrats COS!
Nice place to land.
Congratulations, COS! Yes, President Obama, that clip will go viral!
Wow! That is amazing praise from FLOTUS, who has seen some of the best performances and artists of all time.
SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL…WAIT FOR IT…ON MY FB!…GO PBO!
:D :D :D you juked me out, Chips! I was expecting the Bernie-chair, campfire-storytelling face….
Hahahahahaha!
I bet Donald peed 😃😃😃😃😃
He was so scared he didn’t know which way to run
I. Will. NEVER. Stop. Laughing. At. That. Moment. :-)
Me neither 😀😀😀😂
We’re evuuuuuuuuuuul :-)
He deserves every ounce of my _ _ _ _
;-)
GE LP.
Thanks for stepping in and acting as BT recently.
Much appreciated, as things are happening at a whirlwind pace right now!
Thanks for the CNN link. GOP won’t know what hit them once the grassroots developed and nurtured by President Obama’s team pummel vulnerable GOP Senators and Congresscritters by staging:
“events in targeted states with real working Americans pushing Senate Republicans to do their jobs.”
As John Boehner demonstrated, GOP obstruction is not very agile on its feet — they don’t think things through beyond the first kneejerk “No.”
Can’t wait for these GOP cowards to face their constituents on their refusal to do the job they were elected to do. Teehee.
My pleasure, Arapaho!
…on the topic of possible SCOTUS replacements, this may be of interest http://theobamadiary.com/2016/03/13/early-bird-chat-691/#comment-1504118
I find it really odd that a group is going after former Iowa/Grassley supported Judge Kelly.
I didn’t read the Slate article referenced on yesterday’s Early Bird, but since the ads ran yesterday sounds like the RW Judicial Watch is issuing a threat to the WH to not nominate Jane Kelly — wouldn’t want an 82-year-old man (Grassley) have to defend a Senate seat he’s had forever.
Iowa voted for Barack Obama twice, and whether or not Jane Kelly is nominated, Grassley should be getting ready to enjoy quality time with his grandchildren (great-grandchildren?). Looking forward to having a Dem represent Iowa in the Senate.
I think the re-captured Senate seat that TODville will savor most this November is Patrick Murphy claiming Rubio’s seat. Marco demonstrated such hubris thinking he should be President, and our shameless MSM should be raked over the coals for propping up and promoting his pipe dream.
PBO has already endorsed Patrick Murphy, so we can expect to see @POTUS, @FLOTUS and @VP (and perhaps even @DrBiden — wouldn’t it be great to see all four of them on the stage at one time — creating Obot nostalgia for when PBO announced Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 — Obama/Biden, yay) at some rip-roaring Florida rallies later this year. :)
I’m still trying to figure out how Bruce Braley lost to Joni Earnst…for that matter Udall should have beat Gardner in CO & Hagen should have kept her NC seat against Tillis. …but I hope Grassley loses (and they found a great candidate, Judge) to run against him.
…speaking of endorsements, the same PBO & VP endorsed Murphy in FL, they also endorsed former governer Strickland in OH, to hopefully take out Portman (that may be the toughest incumbent to beat in my opinion…with Ayotte in NH & Gov. Hassan a close second) I think IN open seat & NV (Reid’s) open seat will wash each other out. Feingold is going to wipe the floor with Sen. Johnson in WI, Duckwork with Kirk too….only other surprise of “at risk” seats may be Sen. Blunt of MO.
Yes, would love to see Strickland and Feingold in Senate.
PA will be interesting (and its well-represented her at TOD) — will it be a Toomey vs. Sestak rematch?
My worry is the I believe Dem AG scandal http://gawker.com/it-s-not-just-gerrymandering-but-voter-clustering-dem-1749918491 ….plus the cutout of what will inevitably become an anti-HRC ad in the fall “we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business”
Sestak did have some of the best ads of the 2010 cycle but Toomey used to be president of the Club for Growth and will have unlimited cash.
Oh, meant to post this too:
Arsenio Hall on BET Honors: The epitome of Black excellence is about to walk out of the White House. Obama gon’ be gone y’all [Crying!]
Awww. The good part (although not much consolation) is he’s going to walk into the rest of his life, and we’ll get to witness some of that, too.
Good Evening TODVille!
I was left behind!!! Nobody, I say nobody, came to my rescue.
No hon. We were just giving you your space. That’s what friends do! :-D
:D :D :D
Great news:
Good to know Bernie…..what a freaking fraud!
Bernie Sanders is a hypocrite.
He’s a complete fraud, COS, and it’s beyond belief that some Democrats continue to support him.
I do not understand his appeal and hoe he can run as anti- establishment. If he wins big tomorrow, HRC will still be ahead.
“how”.
First openly gay men’s collegiate B-ball player to make it to the NCAA tourney!

Definitely goes with this:)
I love him!
Hoo hah! This is awesome! Its awesomeness is generating even more awesomeness… The best and only antidote to hate generating hate. (Too much of that sh*t lately…) Love, love, love it…
that is such an excellent way to put it, gattodicima :)
Thanks, sherijr! It just makes all the other crap disappear, doesn’t it…? I haven’t felt this good for days… Maybe MONTHS!!
Yes it was a wonderful day thanks to Hamilton/POTUS & FLOTUS :)
http://fiscalfactcheck.crfb.org/measuring-trumps-healthcare-plan/
Ain’t pretty or smart…
meta and all other CA TOD peeps - we must find a way to attend Hamilton when it comes to california. We have a year 1/2 to save our money, sell blood, and anything else legally so we can purchase our tickets! :D
*sell blood*
Hysterical! And good evening, GGail!
Count me in!!!
I’m in - that would be so cool.
THIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!! ^^^^^
Running way behind, but great idea GGail. I was thinking the same thing last night. Count me in please.
People need to understand this. For real. And do the hard work of making sure that we truly address the root.

Assuming his rebuke in November, the natural tendency will be to mop the brow and sigh in relief at the bullet we just dodged.
This would be a mistake. Defeating Trump would not erase the forces that made him possible. As the last few years have shown, those forces, like some virulent cancer, tend to redouble after a setback and return stronger than before.
You thought George W. Bush was a piece of work? Meet Sarah Palin. You think Sarah Palin was scary? Meet Trump.
With that, Pitts provides a list of the five things we must do to end that trajectory.
1. Confront economic insecurity.
2. Confront ignorance.
3. Confront bigotry.
4. Confront fear.
5. Confront apathy.
No. 5 should really be No. 1.
Agreed. Morning, amk:)
Morning Miss O.
Exactly, AMK! Pitts did an excellent job! But here is my slight amendment to his list of proposals:
1. Confront Apathy.
2. Confront media sensationalism and media propaganda.
3. Confront ignorance, and especially irrational bigotry.
4. Confront fear.
5. Confront economic inequality.
Confront racism.
President Obama on Monday spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russia’s surprise announcement of a “partial withdrawal” of forces from Syria.
“They discussed President Putin’s announcement today … and next steps required to fully implement the cessation of hostilities,” the White House said in a statement.
Good night TOD :)
#TrustBarack …. Our Peace Maker in Chief ….
Hillary’s not the only one wondering this…
eggsactly - my thoughts from day 1. Trump sold him a bridge.
I’m surprised Christie’s not holding the umbrella for Trump.
The big bully Christie looks small. He is pitiful,
LMAO!
Trump gets the umbrella
Christie gets the rain
Trump gets the big mo
Christie tried, in vain
Trump has no ethics
Christie has no shame
We look on in horror
We know they’re BOTH insane.
Love this, Jacqueline!
Thanks, dahling! :)
:) well rhymed JoB
Celebration comes early for Chips!!!!!!
I am friggin’ dizzy looking at that, LP!!!!! :lol:
You already starting drinking :???:
Hic. No.
Well, I hope this lifts your spirits Chips :mrgreen:
Wait. That looks like an 84-year-old Rubio :???:
You’re trying to ensure I don’t sleep, aren’t ya?
:lol:
Speaking of Rubio, he’s on Drudge’s front page right now, looking rather chubby…
Boehner will miss that drinking party - probably about all he misses since leaving congress.
O’Yay! :-D
John Legend out there looking for more scalps…..Halperin keeps moving the goalposts after realizing he’s wrong..smh
Couldn’t resist ….
out’a here …. :)
Mark Halperin is a piece of crap.
He’s a dick!
Fabulous, Bob! Get ’em!!!!!
I love John Legend and Jesse from Gray’s anatomy. Can’t think of his last name.
Jesse Williams. I love them both too!
typical dick hackperin.
Former Dole speechwriter….calls President Obama a dick on Morning Joe, but he is the dean of modern/objective MSM politics b/c he rode the coattails of Heilman with Game Change book.
John Legend is a smart, articulate guy.
We’ve got a legit hot take!
Putin is doing a runner!!!! LOL!!!!
Got chills watching the BET Honors video package for former AG Eric Holder. Loved California AG (hopefully Senator-to-be) Kamala Harris talking about how great it was to walk into the Department of Justice building and seeing photo of President Barack Obama and AG Holder. [sigh!] <3 <3 <3
First time I ever saw the President’s photo in a federal building, I spotted it inside the entrance to a Navy facility, where my friend was getting an updated I.D. card. I was the only one in the hallway, and I just stood there and looked up at his official portrait and smiled. If I’d had a candle with me, I would have lit it. OMG. Tears.
{{{{{ jacquelineoboomer }}}}
One of the best things about the greatest thing ever is the Marine Corps drummer in it! Ha.
This constitutes news now….smh
Good riddance MF!
GN, gentle people!
Good Night, Silk Sweet VC! :-)
Silky Sweet :-)
no words…
This is great, something TODville knows, but it’s nice to see a compilation of what PBO does best — relating to all people, all Americans:
And this is why there was no rioting 2008/12.
“You see I married Yoda’s Dad. He’s the person who roots for me everyday and he tells me “Do or do not; there is no try” and I love him for that” :-)
Loved watching The Deele Reunion with L.A. and Babyface! <3
2nd tribute to L.A. — Usher
By the way, the first couple of songs he sang were not Usher’s — they were Bobby Brown’s, but L.A. produced those too. Third song was BoysIIMen. After that, Usher sings his own stuff that L.A. produced.
When it’s your B-day:
GN TOD!
Goodnight, TODville! Beware the Ides, if ya get my drift. Although it could take on an updated meaning, if Trump is the acknowledged big loser. :)
