The Obama Diary 
Happy Greek Independence day to you too Chipsticks! 😀 and to everyone else 😀
Same to you 😀
right back at you UT 😀
and each and everyone of you 😀 😀 😀
hey Fred and Kelly right back at u too.
hey Fred totally unrelated, but I saw that you commented about Grey’s Anatomy and Callie and Arizona’s car accident. OMG I have a Grey’s Anatomy partner on this website. woohooooo 😀 😀 😀 Dude I cannot wait for next week’s episode. it’s supposedly a musical but also super serious. I saw the accident coming.. when Arizona kept talking and not quite concentrating, but it was still shocking. Hope Callie and the baby’ll be ok
Was Michelle there?
I don’t see her, but i just heard she is going to be the commencement speaker at the U. of Ia., the state that gave her husband that great presidential campaign send-off and my alma mater-yea!, Spellman and West Point. A good variety, and I think they also said she would also be speaking at a middle school graduation at Quantico, Va.
haha Dotster great minds think alike. I just posted the same thing 🙂
We’re twins!
Look at my handsome, cool, warm-hearted, brilliant president. Go ahead with your bad self, Mr. President.
He is all kinds of gorgeous.
🙂
Wow my potus is looking extra fione today. I missed seeing his stunning face. it’s been what? 24hrs…. too long. 😀 ❤
LOL. I think I have a problem. I can’t go a day without seeing him.
Sister you and me both.
I definitely require a daily dose of vitamin O!
Just saw this piece of wonderful news. The students at these various academic institutions are LUCKY!!!!! Can’t hardly wait 😀
Michelle Obama will deliver commencement addresses at three colleges this spring, the White House announced today.
The First Lady will address the 1,900 members of the Class of 2011 at the University of Northern Iowa on May 7. On May 15, she will speak to the 500 graduates Spelman College, a historically black school in Georgia. Her final destination will be the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York, where she’ll address 3,000 grads on May 20.
Obama will also deliver the commencement address at Quantico Middle High School in Virginia on May 3.
Oh poo—-I could swear our local newscaster said University of Iowa, which is my school in Iowa City, not Northern Iowa. But that’s fine. I’m sure they’re very excited to get her there in Cedar Falls.
Great mix! What a fabulous First Lady we have in Mrs Obama. She is super duper amazing and I love her!
I can just Imagine all the Excitement, looking forward to graduation, being that the Obamas will be their Guest Speaker. Wowwwwwwww, It’s a graduation, that they will always remember. This Is Still History In the Making, I Love It 🙂
Can we arrange for the archbishop to have Arianna exorcised? The number of evil demons that inhabit that woman cannot even be imagined!
I love that great smile on our President’s face!!! What a gift we have in this wonderful man. Yes, our First Lady, Vice President, Joe Biden, and Dr. Jill Biden and our great President makes us all proud. I also love how they all seem to have a great relationship. I just love Joe. Have a great weekend, everyone, especially Chipsticks. Thank you!!
I love the Archbishop. What a nice man. I just wanna hug him!
He touched my heart as well. I was impressed by his warmth and humanity.
I admire the way this president, President Obama shows so much respect for all people. He really seems to enjoy being with all kinds of different people whether high or low status. Have a great weekend all of my blog family. Warm hugs to you
Chipsticks for creating such a loving place for us to express our love for our country and each other. Good night to all.
Proud of Obama….I agree with what you said about our President, but what touches my heart more is to see him with hiss his family. To see him with his kids is just special, to see the kind of role model he is as a father and husband is truly special. I just love seeing them as a family
