The President was in the house. Those haters had to stay out of sight where they belonged.The President is fantastic… I’m so happy for him and pleased with alll he is doing. God bless our President!!
My words exactly. Cornell has completely gone off the deep end. He apparently wrote a piece on Rawstory a day or two ago, and he decimated the president. I could not bring myself to read it.
They cannot stand the fact that the president is smarter and hipper than either one of them. I suppose they felt that he would bow down to them to curry their favor. I guess they felt they were going to teach the president how to be a black president. Truth is they are jealous.
I can no longer even look at a photo of either of them.
“And you shall know them by their works.” Can the Rev. Al get an amen?!
“When I first met Senator Obama, I didn’t know what to make of him… But as I looked at what he did…here’s a man that rose from a single-parent home, went to Ivy League schools and became the top in Harvard. Could have chose [sic] any law firm in Manhattan or Chicago. He chose to go to a housing development in Chicago and work with those that were most needed [sic] of his work. Look at the choice he made – not to become rich and well-heeled. He took his Ivy League education and invested in us. And now that he fights these battles, those that never went back to the community, that got in the Ivy League places and got on an ivory tower…take shots at him for standing up for us. They don’t speak to us, they don’t talk for us, and we’re tired of hearing them talk about the President.”
Hallelujah! Thank you, Rev. Al! You spoke for me right there. Preach it! Cuz the hypocrites like West & Smiley need to hear it. Can’t say you’re my favorite person, but thank you.
Thank you for the transcript. Was so very proud of Rev Sharpton for speaking so eloquently and the response in the room was outstanding!! Tavis and Cornell should take a hint and stfu, at least.
Oh my goodness!!! Could not have said it better than Al Sharpton!!! Wow!!! Thank you Al Sharpton!!! He has grown in my estimation for his steadfast support of President Obama in a time where others have chosen money, t.v face time and notoriety in exchange for obstructing, undermining and attacking the President with outright lies, exaggerations and fabrications!!!
And you know what Tulips, their egos won’t allow them to take this and think about their actions. They will feel compelled to respond in some way. They are a sorry bunch.
Chipsticks, thanks for being on the ball with this. I happened to miss the beginning, but am elated to hear Rev Al’s poignant introduction, and to hear the audience give a round of amens via the cheers. Let the truth be told again and again. He called em out, yes he did!
Show them how to speak the truth Rev. Al! Now, this is the truth! We see you Tavis and West… we see you “speaking” for Black America — give me a break!
And their sponsors are no less than Wal-Mart, Exxon, etc. Haven’t seen them push Wal-mart or Exxon to do anything for the black community. But when Tavis used to have his black state of the union, those were some of his biggest sponsors.
They are opportunists. And these guys can’t point to anything they have done for the black community.
OT, that picture of Magic Johnson was priceless. During the primaries, he was a staunch Hillary supporter. Go figure.
Can’t watch the clip right now but the comments are making me emotional. I love my President and I love the look of pride of everybody’s face in that crowd. Thank you Chips I don’t know what I would do without your updates. You actually spoil me. I haven’t had to check MSM in months.
Take that Tavis, and Cornell West and others of that ilk.
“Servant-in-chief”; so many positivie ways to interpret this.
I also have a new appreciation for Al Sharpton. There is just something about PBO that brings out the best in so mmany people. He wants us to be better and to do more; to be grown up. This trait is what the haters are fighting against. That he can inspire millions; most of whom have never acted; have never known that they have power or how to use it. The change is here. The days are numbered for those who want to hold on to the bad old days. Hallelujah!
The look on Magic Johnson’s face is priceless. The young whippersnappers can learn a lot from Reverend Sharpton about how to advance an agenda successfully. I hope they’re listening.
I saw that and I was cracking up but then that would be me lol. Young and old have the same look when they meet this man. Oh yeah this president is FIONE!!!
I’ve been a fan of Rev. Sharpton for a while.. he was one of the smartest guys running in the primaries back in either 2000 or 2004 and I’m so glad he’s had our President’s back. I believe there are far far more of us than the naysayers, those angry few are just louder – we’ve kept our peace for the most part these two years, letting President Obama show this country and the world what he’s capable of.. I think most of us figured he didn’t need us micro-managing the job we gave to HIM to do. Now its time for his rehiring, thus I believe we’ll be seeing/hearing a lot more of ‘us’ speaking up and out on behalf of President Obama.. Our time is now and I believe we have always been the force and the ‘movement’. And I too say thank you Al- you speak for me here. And I think those thousands and thousands of donations received within 24 hours of POTUS filing is a fine sign that we know what we have to do and we mean business.
Amen Rev Al. Thanks for standing up for our President. One man can’t do it all by himself. So many in the community forget our President didn’t have it easy but he overcame. Tavis & Cornell & others could learn from you. Our President is doing the best he can with what he has. Either we turn back the hands of time or we move forward with him.
I’ve never seen them before and yes, I love them too! There is SUCH A THRILL in being able to see ‘old’ videos of this President while he is still in office!! 😀 It’s one of the first things that endeared this site to me – the ‘memory lane’ videos. I get a high from watching every single one because each one reveals the consistency, integrity, charm, sense of humour and ‘reality’ of the President! We have said this here before, but repetition of the truth doesn’t hurt – we are blessed to have THIS MAN in control at this time in world history!
Donna, you are undoubtedly our Video Queen -THANKS! 😆 😆 Thanks too Chipsticks, for keeping the doors open so Donna, and others, can share when they find something good, and we can enjoy it in peace and comfort.
Thanks so much for this beautiful diary. Love all of the awesome pics and energy you put in each day to keep us informed and up-to-date regarding this wonderful President. I’m a fan.
To all who appreciate Rev Al Sharpton comments of support for the president, here’s contact info to let him know. I just dropped him a line and told him just how much I appreciate what he said tonight.
Thank Chips! You know I’m just getting this computer and blogging thingy down, I will have to give myself some time before I try the twitter thingy…lol.
oooooooo Chips, thank you so very very much, for “ALL” that you do. I just appreciate you Girlfriend, this Is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the pretty pictures and the nice videos 🙂 I just got a big kick out of not only President Obama, but Reverend Al. I am so very proud of you Reverend Al, you did a superb job of commenting and telling about our Beloved President. You spoke for me, and you told the TRUTH. I enjoyed looking and watching some of the Celebs, and all their expressions. I had never heard or seen those Videos before. They were good, good, good. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I just love our President, and I like how he thinks. I enjoyed reading every comment here tonight, and I love each of you as well. Take care, and good night 🙂
Merci beaucoup Rev. Al! Thank you for your wisdom, insight, and foresight! Thank you Rev. Al for working WITH and not AGAINST our most hard working and exceptional President Obama!
Thank you for exposing those who keep moving the goal posts and the shameless grandstanding by those who want to hold this President to impossible standards never before imposed upon presidents before him!
OMG!! Thank you Rev. for telling it like it is!! “We shall know them by their works!” Thanks Chips and Donna for such wonderful videos. That pic of Magic is a trip.
The Obama Diary 
Finally some Stands Up For The Presidenr!! Brought Tears.. Thank You for this Blog!!
Does anyone know where we can write to thank Al Sharpton for standing with the President??!!!
“Servant-in-chief!” Tell the truth, Rev. Al.
$10 says Rush will start using “Servant-in-Chief” and then saying “Wha? Al Sharpton said it first”…
I loved that line. I thought Al did a fantastic job.
But where was Tavis, where was Cornell? lol.
…Hating?
OH, really????? What a shock? lol.
Gurrrrl, it’s on! The Rev took it right to the pompous Prof. I am sure messages of appreciation can be left at the National
Action Network website.
The President was in the house. Those haters had to stay out of sight where they belonged.The President is fantastic… I’m so happy for him and pleased with alll he is doing. God bless our President!!
“Faints” at that first picture.
I know! ***drools***
He may have a few more gray hairs and lines on his face, but he’s just as beautiful as ever, and I love him more than ever.
God bless you, President Obama. No enemy formed against you shall prosper.
I agree our potus is fine wine, he just gets better.
That he is!
Beautiful statement Hachiko.
Rev.’s intro was fantastic!
Take that Tavis Smiley and Cornell West!
My words exactly. Cornell has completely gone off the deep end. He apparently wrote a piece on Rawstory a day or two ago, and he decimated the president. I could not bring myself to read it.
They cannot stand the fact that the president is smarter and hipper than either one of them. I suppose they felt that he would bow down to them to curry their favor. I guess they felt they were going to teach the president how to be a black president. Truth is they are jealous.
I can no longer even look at a photo of either of them.
Thank you, thank you, Reveend Sharpton, for telling the TRUTH, for giving President Obama the RESPECT and PRAISE he so richly deserves!
x2
Thank you, Rev Al!
“And you shall know them by their works.” Can the Rev. Al get an amen?!
“When I first met Senator Obama, I didn’t know what to make of him… But as I looked at what he did…here’s a man that rose from a single-parent home, went to Ivy League schools and became the top in Harvard.

Hallelujah! Thank you, Rev. Al! You spoke for me right there. Preach it! Cuz the hypocrites like West & Smiley need to hear it. Can’t say you’re my favorite person, but thank you.
X2. Rev Al delivered the sermon just right!
Thank you for the transcript. Was so very proud of Rev Sharpton for speaking so eloquently and the response in the room was outstanding!! Tavis and Cornell should take a hint and stfu, at least.
We know many love our president. The media just chooses to ignore those who feel very strongly about him and what he is trying to do.
Oh my goodness!!! Could not have said it better than Al Sharpton!!! Wow!!! Thank you Al Sharpton!!! He has grown in my estimation for his steadfast support of President Obama in a time where others have chosen money, t.v face time and notoriety in exchange for obstructing, undermining and attacking the President with outright lies, exaggerations and fabrications!!!
Thank you, Hachiko
I missed that introduction!
If he was’nt talking to tavis smiley and Cornell west. That hat fitted all of their heads.
Tulips that was the first thing that popped into my mind. It is those jokers trying to bring him down.
And you know what Tulips, their egos won’t allow them to take this and think about their actions. They will feel compelled to respond in some way. They are a sorry bunch.
Ha!!
Mr. Al u’ve earned my respect.
Chipsticks, thanks for being on the ball with this. I happened to miss the beginning, but am elated to hear Rev Al’s poignant introduction, and to hear the audience give a round of amens via the cheers. Let the truth be told again and again. He called em out, yes he did!
Show them how to speak the truth Rev. Al! Now, this is the truth! We see you Tavis and West… we see you “speaking” for Black America — give me a break!
Yep, as they sell their books after each event.
And their sponsors are no less than Wal-Mart, Exxon, etc. Haven’t seen them push Wal-mart or Exxon to do anything for the black community. But when Tavis used to have his black state of the union, those were some of his biggest sponsors.
They are opportunists. And these guys can’t point to anything they have done for the black community.

Oh Kelly, it is something to hear! Look at the way Rev. Al is looking at our POTUS … A picture is often better than a thousand words!
THANK YOU SO MUCH REV. SHARPTON FOR STANDING WITH OUR PRESIDENT…THANK YOU!!!!
Lynn, I think it would be a good idea for us to send a message to Rev. Sharpton telling us how much we appreciate this support of the president.
Better yet, let him know to check out TOD to read the many comments thanking him.
Ed, that is a fabulous idea.
Well, Rev. Al, Say so!
Take that Tavis, and Cornell West and others of that ilk.
“Servant-in-chief”; so many positivie ways to interpret this.

You GO Rev Sharpton! THANK YOU for THAT!

Magic Johnson could be an excited 6 year old boy in a crowd. He looks awestruck and eager to get a nod from the President!
You know he was a Hillary supporter that, said President Obama was not experienced enough. After he got a backlash, he changed his tune.
oh interesting tulips. i did not know that!
Funny, he did say that, but did anyone tell him he “was not experienced enough” to go into business after b-ball?
Amen Rev Al. Thanks for standing up for our President. One man can’t do it all by himself. So many in the community forget our President didn’t have it easy but he overcame. Tavis & Cornell & others could learn from you. Our President is doing the best he can with what he has. Either we turn back the hands of time or we move forward with him.
Chipsticks,
I thought while we wait on the video that you’ll like to see the last time then Senator Obama was at the NAN.
I think you’ll enjoy it…
Love them Donna, I never saw them before!! Truly, you are the undisputed Video Queen!! Thank you so much 😉

I love my President he is the greatest.
WOW. Thanks so much for the pre election videos. Barack Obama is the most awesome, honest and astute leader we may ever see.
Thanks for posting Donna. Very enjoyable.
Thanks so much for this beautiful diary. Love all of the awesome pics and energy you put in each day to keep us informed and up-to-date regarding this wonderful President. I’m a fan.
Thank you, Rev Sharpton. That was POWERFUL! Yes, indeed, Servant-in-Chief.
Speak, Rev. Al. Speak!! Yes, speak truth to power. Yes!!!
To all who appreciate Rev Al Sharpton comments of support for the president, here’s contact info to let him know. I just dropped him a line and told him just how much I appreciate what he said tonight.

Thank Chips! You know I’m just getting this computer and blogging thingy down, I will have to give myself some time before I try the twitter thingy…lol.
Thank you both for the Links to Rev Al- will write to him now and see if I can ‘like’ him on facebook too 😉
Just wrote the Rev. to thnk him for his support to Potus.
Thanks for making that easy for us bjw2 by posting the link. I’m on my way there now.
Yassssssssssssss!!!!!!!
Rev said it right: “We are not confused.”
Cornel West and Tavis Smiley who?!?!?
oooooooo Chips, thank you so very very much, for “ALL” that you do. I just appreciate you Girlfriend, this Is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the pretty pictures and the nice videos 🙂 I just got a big kick out of not only President Obama, but Reverend Al. I am so very proud of you Reverend Al, you did a superb job of commenting and telling about our Beloved President. You spoke for me, and you told the TRUTH.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I just love our President, and I like how he thinks. I enjoyed reading every comment here tonight, and I love each of you as well. Take care, and good night 🙂
Thank you Rev Al.
Nobody is asking for deification, but rather a simple demonstration of respect, and the benefit of perspective.
Respect shouldn’t be such a rare commodity. Our President graces us everyday with a very real model for respectful conduct.
Magic Johnson’s delight makes me smile. Is that his daughter on his right, she seems to share her Father’s excitement.
Thank you Rev. Al. And yes you speak for me too. Keep preaching Rev. To the soul patrol, go suck on salt.
Merci beaucoup Rev. Al! Thank you for your wisdom, insight, and foresight! Thank you Rev. Al for working WITH and not AGAINST our most hard working and exceptional President Obama!
Thank you for exposing those who keep moving the goal posts and the shameless grandstanding by those who want to hold this President to impossible standards never before imposed upon presidents before him!
Thank you Sir!
OMG!! Thank you Rev. for telling it like it is!! “We shall know them by their works!” Thanks Chips and Donna for such wonderful videos. That pic of Magic is a trip.
AL – Way to Go!
