Some news agencies (eg Reuters) are reporting that he has died – but there is no confirmation yet.
Update: He’s dead.

A gazillion thank yous to everyone who has helped the Drive for Five (Thousand) – my eyes nearly popped out when I saw the figure this morning:
You’re a bunch of gems 😉

Tim McCarver, the Fox Sports guy, will probably be hired soon by Romney as an economic advisor – he’s, eh, really good with numbers:
The Obama Diary 
Morning Chips! Morning TODers!
Looking forward to another day of wonderful happenings…possibly historic events… 🙂 🙂
The restaurant guy LOVES his FLOTUS! That is genuine admiration that can’t be faked!!!
PLEASE NOTE WHO’S HAND IS BEING HELD AT THE RESTAURANT!!!!! MR. PRESIDENT..YOU’RE PERDY BUT NOT THAT PERDY!!!!LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Ha! The President looks like he could be thinking ‘all right their fellow let go my wife’s hand”. No not really – just kidding.
Holy Moly Chips – that’s fantastic! (quietly goes back to work…….) w00t
Morning Alice! 😉 Morning everyone!
Two of the most beautiful and genuine couples. We are blessed to have them.
Have a great day, everyone!!
And P.S: PBO does not pound his chest, run around with hair on fire, but he gets the job done. If Gaddafi is captured or dead — CHECK!!
Good morning and hugs to all – especially you, africa.
Gooooood Morning….everyone…..
been volunteering with the OFA_PA crew in conjunction with the PA State Dems to get out the vote…in the upcoming election…(NOV 8) as many of you know there usually is lower voter turnout in between Presidential elections….i have been stressing to everyone that i can…that we have to see these races as a priority as well…i remind them of the Senate and House and how the Reps have thawrted the President every step of the way…..of what has happened in State Houses across the country…the laws that have been passed ..from voter suppression to the breaking of unions…
it has become critical to get the information out…i meet many people who do not know about the voter suppression laws…here in PA there is a law pending that will require new forms of ID….
for me…first finding Chips blog…being part of the TODers……vibing off such an activist oriented group of men and woman has re- engergize me to become active once again….and being around the OFA folks is another jolt….hahaha…i hope i do not go into overloadd….
Firedddddddd UP….Ready to gooooooo
You’re a star prettyfoot58, it’s completely brilliant that you’ve got involved again, your spirit and determination is inspirational!
thanks…
but what is truly inspirational is the PASSION and the spirit and the JOY that is shown by the men and women here…
i feel blessed to be here…
and let me add…the laughter and enjoyment…..brings JOY to my day…
Keep up the good work, pf8. Educating the voters must a real priority now.
Afternoon PF58 & TOD’ville! 😆 Keep up the good work, PF58, and IF you get overloaded, come and unload here. We can help.;)
prettyfoot58, could you supply me with info. about the new voter ID law…. Would appreciate all the info you could supply me or where I can get info on it…. It’s for my mother who is 86 yrs. old and living in a senior citizen apt. complex in Philly… She involves in a ladies group and they are died hard Pres. Obama & FL Michelle Obama supporters… Any help you supply would greatly appreicate….

But, But The GOP will be saying that he was leading from behind, so who is next? Gaddafi is gone
thank you Mr President you are doing an amazing job to protect us.
Thank you President Obama, you are doing what you promised to do. Bit by bit, and piece by piece, day by day, you are getting things done. Thank you President Obama, you are the Man 🙂 🙂
I CERTAINLY PRAY THEY HAVE ‘CRAZY’ IN LIBYA! WHAT A RELIEF FOR ALL OF THOSE SUFFERING PEOPLE!!!!!!
Good morning chip-
Good news about kadafi, if true, expect to hear from President later on.
THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED ALL WEEK..’MITTENS’ TAKING PART IN THE CHEAP LABOR POOL…CAUGHT W/ HARD-WORKING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN HIS OWN YARD! TRY TO MOW THAT ONE UNDER THE TURF MITTENS!
Also chip,
If you reach 50k, and I think you will, you might get to be an ambassador to someplace.
What is your first choice?
😆
Hmm, I should really pick Ireland, Jovie, but if Dan Rooney wants to stay in the job then I’ll go for Trinidad and Tobago. Would you like to be my assistant Jovie?
Lol. Yeah. What about Rome?
Hmm, yeah, maybe, Rome’s an option too – although that would mean having to meet Berlusconi occasionally and I’m not sure my stomach could handle it. The best option might be for me to be appointed TOD Ambassador to the White House, I could sit at a desk in the Oval office (no, not the big one) and do my blog work. I’d promise not to listen in on meetings or phone calls. Yep, that’s the one I want!
Too funny.
TOD Goodwill Ambassador to the WH, Press Corp Menance (put those rocket launchers to use …just stand by Jay and on occassion open that handbag and smile 😉
That’s it, I’m appointing you as my joint assistant with Jovie! 😆
Wow, Chips,would love to have you here in Trinidad and Tobago. Just say the word and I will pick you up at the airport,anytime!
Don’t forget,there is always the fun Carnival in late February 2012. Now, there’s an invitation!
Ladyjazz, see you at the airport! 😆 I truly envy you living in such a beautiful place. And I love cricket too – so you’re in paradise!
Chips, that TOD ambassador to the WH sounds just the thing, IMO! Then you could expand and educate an even wider audience. Come to think of it, you could then give OFA Blog some hands-on assistance.
Good morning Chips and TOD family. What a day yesterday. Loved all pictures and videos. Our FLOTUS is so beautiful.
Amazing news about Ghadafi (?). I am sure Bush will get credit somewhere.
I wish I had better news about my Sen. Tester. Please everyone keep up the pressure on him. I am doing what I can here.
Off to work.
Good morning to you too, Marilyn!
Here’s calvin & hobbes toon that nails the corporate robber barons like willard mittens.
Dan Pfeiffer reporting that President Obama will appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday, October 25th.
He’ll be in LA for a fundraiser hosted by Latino Hollywood.
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!!! Are you for real. Don’t shit me right now!!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove my President in all settings but particularly on talk shows. He’s the perfect guest. he’s witty, humorous, smart, a great conversationalist. He makes the whole hour lively. Please remind us again Meta. I can’t miss this. 😀
I will, GF!!
I’m not high on Leno but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE PBO on late night talk shows. He’s always totally brilliant.

You missed just by one more yes. I win.
Ditto what utaustinliberal said.
The Tonight Show with PBO will be excellent, and lenno will have very high ratings that particular night

That’s right…gotta keep LOVE alive 😀 Congratulations and continued happiness!
Wow, that ad against Romney looks like it’ll hurt him. I’m not one to praise negative ads, but this one seems to just tell it like it is in Romney’s own words.
Rise and shine indeed. There I was watching Austan Goolsbee on Morning Joe making wonderful points about the real change the stimulus made to the economy, how PBO’s jobs bill is right for America because what we need right now is growth, growth, growth and how Kevin McCarthy (R) house whip from CA lied about the stimulus draining the economy and having no benefits – Austan was awesome as usual, actually got Joe to shut up when he hit him with fact after fact and Joe had to admit that repugs don’t have 2012 as locked up as they think they do – and BAM! Gaddafi’s been captured, injured in both legs, on the way to the hospital, dead, not dead, Reuters and BBC says he’s dead, NATO, Pentagon, State Dept. and White House can’t confirm he’s been captured let alone dead. If he has been captured or killed, then today will be a historic day indeed.
Great little clip of the owner of the roadside stand where POTUS and FLOTUS bought the pumpkins:
http://www.wvec.com/my-city/hampton/SLIDESHOW-Obamas-visit-Hampton-132160263.html
LOVE it!!!! Love that owner. Obama stimulus plan in full effect 😀 .
Great video, thanks for the link!
Loved that! Owner was truly thrilled. I wish President Obama could go everywhere and meet everyone. What a change that would bring.
Even though I already support him, heart and soul, wish he’d come visit me! 🙂
I have to add that Mr. Wood was a delight! I hear him about crying……sometimes I just imagine meeting President Obama and the tears start to roll…..he is such an inspiration.
That was unadulterated joy!
morning TOD family
in case Gadhafi did get captured and I won’t believe it until the President;SoS Clinton or someone else at the State Dept comes out I say good riddance to horrible rubbish
Frank Luntz is FREAKED out over “horrific” #GOP debate, worries all the name-calling will hurt them. As if we don’t already know they’re all complete idiots.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/19/romney-perry-gop-debate-clashes-luntz
Frank’s gravy train is going down in smoke. Ha ha ha. Maybe he’d better get a job useful to society!
Some of you were discussing the MSNBC change up with LAW and ED. Here are the ratings as of
10-17-11. I do wish Rev. Al could be moved into a later time slot but he is doing well and better than all other network competitors except FOX. I work at the VA and all TVs in the building are fixed on FOX. I noticed that at my Honda dealer and the doctor’s office. Maybe they pay for viewers. Nevertheless, keep recording and watching Al.

Change the channel wherever you can, or ask that it be changed. I’ve changed channels across America. 🙂 Usually businesses will change the channel if you ask. Some owner puts that channel on in the morning, and there it stays, but employees don’t care. I’ve climbed up on coffee tables in motel breakfast areas to change the channel and on a chair in a car dealership waiting room and at bars waiting for a table I ask the bartender, “Do we have to watch this channel? Please, anything else” and the last place was a car wash waiting room, the cashier giving me a secret thumbs up. Be agressive.
Good for you Dotster. When I patronize a business no matter how small or large it is and I see the channel on fox news, I politely tell them I don’t want to watch that channel and could they please change the channel to MSNBC (at least MSNBC has some good analysts like Martin Bashir and Rev Al) and they bring on some good experts like Joy Ann Reid of the Reid Report, Steve Kornacki, Richard Wolffe.. etc. Most customers and most employees really don’t care whats on the tv, since they’re going about their day; but I feel good that I’ve stopped the plethora of BS that fox spews and at least enlightened one mind. Sometimes customers tell me thank you because they too were tired of the crap but didn’t know how to speak up. So hey it’s worth it 😉
I also speak up…..it’s worth the effort. Keep that toxic drivel from polluting uncritical thinking minds.
i love hearing that dotster!
dotster3 – Funniest story I’ve heard today. Thank you!!!!
Good Morning TOD
Twitter brigade keep this Pew Research Survey in mind and handy today…
”One man running for president has suffered the most unrelentingly negative treatment of all: Barack Obama. Though covered largely as president rather than a candidate, negative assessments of Obama have outweighed positive by a ratio of almost 4-to-1. The assessments of the president in the media were substantially more negative than positive in every one of the 23 weeks studied.” –
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/2116/media-primary-news-coverage-blogs-republican-presidential-race-barack-obama-rick%e2%80%94perry-herman-cain
Don’t let the media spin this triumph today. Send it to MTP, Face the Nation, This Week, The Today Show, GMA and every other show that trouts out Republicans every time this administration accomplishes something!!!
I agree!
Done.
thankee
Sorry my chart didn’t come out well.
Mark Knoller is obviously not too happy with this breaking news. He Tweets this:
//Conflicting reports on Qaddafi captured or killed in Libya. US officials at WH and State unable to confirm Qaddafi’s status. //
Willard Romney: there’s no “there” there.
Have a great day, everyone 😛 !
I just saw a pretty graphic photo of the capture of Gaddafi at the Guardian.
It’s all over twitter now.
Kadafi photo on afp website. Pretty gory!
Yeah, definitely very bloody.
Reports at AJE are that they are moving his body to a secret location.
They just showed it on Morning Joe
I saw on twitter a reported pic of the wounded Kaddafi. Don’t know if it’s legit but he looks alive in that pic. I won’t post it here because the image is graphic and I don’t know if it’s accurate.
I bet the President is in the situation room this morning!
NATO is reporting that they hit 3 armored vehicles paving the way forward for the rebels.
Also, CNN says that NATO is recomending that their involvement cease!
Yay!
That’s a pretty gory picture. AFP has it and Morning Joe is showing it. It was taken on a Libyan rebel’s cell phone.
Cell phone photo now being shown of a dead Gadhafi, unconfirmed.
On twitter: No American soldiers have been killed during this Libyan conflict. Props to @BarackObama & @UN
Bravo President Obama….this is smart foreign policy.
What a difference between this and Iraq,…
To think that Cheney wanted to invade Iran as well……or imagine if McCain was president.
Scary.
I will never forget that Romney ”the moderate” highly admires Cheney.
He said he Wants Someone Like Dick Cheney For Vice-President
Anyone who admires that evil war criminal is NO moderate.
Not only ..not a moderate but damn stupid. But, that’s whichmitt..never encountered a drooling pandering moment he would pass.
Morning TODVille, is this a BFD or what? Trying to catch up.
This is a good development if Gaddafi has been captured – looking forward to hearing it from President Obama or SOS Clinton if this is true.
When did this happen? Been a bit out of it the last day or two as Dad was rushed into hospital with heart problems yesterday morning so been a bit preoccupied.hoping he wil be ok. Please those of us who are inclined to pray, could you pray for his recovery. I don’t like to ask or be a pain but it would mean a lot to me.

Oh Sam, so sorry to hear about your Dad’s health problems, the worry must be horrendous. Will be thinking of you and your Dad, look after yourself.
Dear God…please heal Sam’s father….please grant comfort to Sam’s family at this difficult time..Amen

I hope he recovers quickly.
Will Dennis Kucinich impeach the President now?
Good point……….and what about Glenn Greenwald? Michael Moore?….what will be their problem with this?
They are so transparent.
Exclusive preview of Greenwald’s reaction:
“OMG! OMG! Like, Obama’s totally a MURDERER!! Yes, yes, I know he didn’t technically kill the misunderstood Gaddafi (RIP), but he has a little bit of blood sort of indirectly on his hands. MURDERER!! OMG! OMG! Will be back with 986 updates very soon, have to attend Koch brothers’ meeting and do some promotional work on my new book, ‘OMG! I LIKE TOTALLY HATE OBAMA!’.”
HAW!
Actually, he’s already started in on twitter. Such a creepy concern troll.
Kucinich can go find something to choke on Hope 🙄 and good morning to you my friend 😉
Mornin’ Fred! 🙂
mornin’ Hope 😀
More importantly to Dennis..will his fundraising on Impeaching the President DRY UP NOW?!
On twitter- just in-Dennis Kucinich will be going to Gadaffi funeral!
Lol!
He will be delivering the eulogy for his long lost friend!
Jovie, Do you think Kucinich would take John McCain with him?
Oh yes! And Lindsey Graham, too!
Don’t forget Joe Lieberman.
This is such huge news about Gaddafi. All the naysayers against the president’s decision to provide US air support to Libya can take a hike. Libyan people are freed from a horrific tyrant and mass murderer. Good for them, good for the world, and good for PBO.
That stop at the outdoor market won a lot of hearts. The owner was great, although I would have been a blubbering puddle by then. I am so proud of our president. Imagine any of the right-wing candidates being this natural among real people. And the Obamas don’t just patronize people and let “the staff” pay (or, not, as in the case of the Hilary entourage stiffing waitresses of their tips). They get right into the spirit, enjoy the products being sold, and pay from their pockets. I think the Obamas feel really liberated when they’re out among people and love doing ordinary, every day things.
Also if anyone ever again mentions that PBO had an overwhelming Democratic majority to work with, you need only refer them to the irrational nonsense Joe Lieberman is tweeting on the jobs bill. And Tester and Nelson are Democrats only in the most tangential way. The D’s after their names add to the “sense” of a majority, but their voting record does not. I don’t even try to be polite to people who push this overwhelming majority theme at me, I just shove the facts at them. Let THEM work with idiots like Tester, Nelson, Lieberman (and don’t forget Max Baucus) and see what they get done. It’s a miracle we had got the Recovery Act passed, DADT, Health Care, and Financial Reform, not to mention accomplishments as long as several arms. My newest comeback: ” I stand with George Clooney. I’m disappointed in people who are disappointed in the president.”
Concur with everything you expressed Jackie. Couldn’t have said it better. Might have to adopt George Clooney’s sentiments also.
Adopt his sentiments AND him:)
“I’m disillusioned by the people who are disillusioned by Obama, quite honestly, I am,” he said on ABC News Now’s “Popcorn with Peter Travers” before today’s release of “The Ides of March.”Democrats eat their own. Democrats find singular issues and go, ‘Well, I didn’t get everything I wanted.’ I’m a firm believer in sticking by and sticking up for the people whom you’ve elected.
“If he was a Republican running, because Republicans are better at this,” Clooney continued, “they’d be selling him as the guy who stopped 400,000 jobs a month from leaving the country. They’d be selling him as the guy who saved the auto-industry. If they had the beliefs, they’d be selling him as the guy who got rid of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ who got Osama bin Laden. You could be selling this as a very successful three years.”
Vid of Clooney and Popcorn with Pete Travers at link..

I loved this Clooney clip and plan to show it to all my friends. It’s a must see.
Thanks Fired Up. Off to tweet this gem of wisdom out of the beauty that is George Clooney.
George speaks nothing but the truth. Love him. I saw “Ides of March” last weekend — it was just a-ight, but George was yummy as usual.
After this clip and those spot on comments, he’s even more delicious than usual!
I just love that video of the owner of that store talking about the Obamas. How real they are.
Loved it too anniebella, thanks again to Meta. The man’s reaction to it all was the sweetest thing.
What do you think Mark Landler have to say? More of his lies, I guess. Let me put this down on my calender, President Obama on the Tonight show Oct. 25th.
Wasn’t he the sweetest at the end when he said he was trying not to cry? OMG, too much. It’ll be another sweet moment when they send him the photo of the pumpkins at the WH.
He was just the loveliest man, he nearly set me off! Thanks again Meta.
Daffi dead, apparently he was found in a hiding in a hole. What is it with dicatators and holes?
Cowards.They don’t call them “hell holes” for nothing

Is there enough popcorn available to get us through the GOP primaries??
That Rick Perry ad going after “Mitt Leading” is devastating and it’s going to leave a mark. It’s negative and very effective. They got an awful lot of damaging details out in just 60 seconds. Clearly, from Steve Benen’s post, the Romney team is getting nervous. What a difference a debate makes. The Cain 999 plan has been totally eviscerated and Perry rattled Romney. It will be fascinating to see how the polls change after last Tuesday’s debate. The debate next Tuesday will probably require helmets and boxing gloves.
I think the next GOP debate is in November 9th, aired on CNBC.
Here’s the schedule thru March 2012:
http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-debate-schedule/2011-2012-primary-debate-schedule/
Terrific, thanks for the schedule. Lately, it seemed like there was a debate every week.
Good Morning Chips and TOD Family in Phoenix fired the Rig Up heading to Houston and turn it back over to my son and let him ride.Chips my buddies said that if you need a bunch of rigs to help you move to your Ambassadorship we will show all loud and dew.YOU all have a great day got to ride will check in later.
Wish I would’ve known you were in Phoenix ahead of time! We could’ve had a little “meet up”! Safe travels.wes….
Desertflower I would have if I knew you were near the FLYING J TRAVEL PLAZA I rolled in at 1 o’clock in the morning grabbed a nap and coffee did the logs to stay out of trouble with powers that be who think Truckers are all a bunch of redneck dummies.The fact that we are the small business owners Our President is always trying to help in every way He can.I will fight and drive or what ever it takes to keep him 4 more years.Also next time I’m in the area will post it online to the TOD family. I plan letting my son take another break in about 7 weeks for Christmas Shopping with his family and I’ll leave the office and be on the road and see where I go then.So thanks to all
Well….I’m not actually near the Flying J 🙂 If you own your rig, maybe you could put up a little banner….you travel ALL over the place, and lots of people would see it….just a thought. You are a wonderful warrior for this President. Bet that you’d start a lot of conversations that way! You could educate the masses! Safe travels:)
Desertflower,Thank you so much for your idea about the banner.Let me tell you a little story about the road I did put stickers on my Rig back when the President was running for office back in 07& 08 well me and may insurance company had to repair about $22,000 dollars worth of vandalism done to the rig in truck stops and other places.So naturally the insurance company would protect it’s self first and fight every claim even though I pay $2,800 per month in premiums for the last 2 years.So they would pay after a fight but then they came back with a rider to the policy a new deductible of $25,000 or new premiums of $5.000 per month.So my sons and other drivers in my small outfit we will fight even harder for Our President from the inside out and online and everyday talking but our business because we travel in so many different surroundings and for my loving Wife not to go to jail when some of those right wing nuts on the road can’t have a discussion and loose the point then go out a damage property.That is why brought my laptop just to keep up and not stop the fight for that which is right for us all.I know this was long but that is a truckers life sometimes when you get in certain groups and everyone knows what I mean.
Happy trails and safe travels! My son’s a trucker, and I always say that most people in our country don’t know that just about everything we own or buy has come to us via a truck! You folks keep our country running, and I’m also glad you personally are in the driver’s seat when it comes to supporting our President!
Ha, thank you Wesley! Have a perfect day 😉
Bet you the presidents next bus trip will be in that area of Phoenix and Colorado and Nevada.
If he comes to Phoenix, I’M THERE!

Julie Mason says the President is exhausted and had to be helped down to the situation room.
He later took the advice of his joints chiefs and now has a walker, to help him get around!
😆
You know Jovie, it actually wouldn’t even surprise me if she wrote that!
Jovie, I am SO tweeting that to her!!
Good morning TODers. Chips, what a fabulous thread this is. I am absolutely giddy! My computer has been alerting me that my battery needs to be replaced, so I am not spending too much time on it until I can go get a new one. HOPE it is true that Gaddafi is captured or dead.
MITCH MCCONNELL LOSES HIS COOL
This has to be the clearest indication yet that the flawless roll out of the American Jobs Act and taking it directly to the American people is working. President Obama has basically said to the GOP “Enough is Enough”. You don’t have to answer to me for sabotaging the economic recovery and blocking job creation, you have to answer to the American people and your own constituents.
==============================
Spend enough time around Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and you’ll learn a few things about him. He’s the most disciplined GOP leader on the Hill, and one of its savviest. His devious parliamentary tactics have been a cornerstone of the GOP strategy to thwart the Democratic agenda, of which he was the key architect.
But he rarely loses his cool.
That’s why his acid-tongued attack on President Obama Tuesday came as such a surprise — and, perhaps, an indication that Obama’s campaign against the GOP for blocking his jobs bill is working.
==============================

2 votes Friday in 2 parts of jobs bill.
One of them, the republicans support!
Which part do they support my friend?
We need to put this turtle up on a fencepost and leave him there 👿
Be sure to turn him over on his shell. (Disclaimer: I am not cruel to animals, so to turtles all over the world I mean you no harm. Just would like to see this ‘Master of Mayhem’ squirm…alot!
Mabel better not clutch his pearls so tightly the string will break 😉
I love animals, including turtles, too. But you get what I’m saying……
Not only do I get it, I agree x1000. There isn’t a mean bone in your body friend.
Thanks for the link to this. For someone who is supposed to be the most disciplined GOP messenger on the Hill, McConnell seems to have made a very big slip up and I hope that Debbie Wasserman-Schultz can use it in an ad somehow:
“He owned the Congress for the first two years. They did everything he wanted. Everything. The only thing they forgot to do — I don’t know why they overlooked this — they forgot to raise taxes.”
That one slip up undermines the entire foundation of Tea Party movement, which held their first protest on April 15, 2009 — the day of the largest tax break in American history for the middle class. It undermines the current ads running, that were produced by Karl Rove’s American Crossroads,suggesting President Obama wants to raise taxes on the middle class.
I would love to see and ad of Mitch McConnell running opposite these Karl Rove ads:
‘Sometimes in the heat of the moment even career politicians tell the truth:
“He owned the Congress for the first two years. They did everything he wanted. Everything. The only thing they forgot to do — I don’t know why they overlooked this — they forgot to raise taxes.”
Yep, these GOP fools are doing a great job getting the President re-elected. They have unleashed the “tiger” and he is starting to eat at their prey. That TPM site usually has a majority of anti-obama comments, there are mostly positive comments and negative comments about the GOP.
That one statement of truth will be their undoing! Holy crap.That needs to be plastered all over the place from now until election day! Turtle just stabbed himself in his cold, uncaring heart.Let his hate get in the way…couldn’t happen to a more deserving fellow.
I sent this straight to Twitter and posted it on my FB page with the comment that McConnell finally admits that the GOP was lying when they’ve been saying that PBO increased taxes. Many of my FB “friends” are southern “conservatives” who revere the GOP. I’m hoping to rattle their cages and open their eyes to the fact that they’re being manipulated by shysters like McConnell because they keep repeating the words, “I’m pro-life,” and “I hate gays.”
Thanks for this ladyhawke. Just tweeted it to @McConnellPress. Awesome!
The Presidents “notches!”

When are they going to start saying “Obama kept us safe?”
….maybe I shouldn’t hold my breath…. 🙄
People will remember this when going into the voting booth. Trust me!
They better!
To think how much the Bush syncophants crowd about him protecting the country after he botched just about every foreign policy issue and 9/11 happened on his watch — it boggles the mind that this brilliant President can’t get props for his mastery.
I was sooooo surprised when I logged on to MSN today and read that Gaddafi was dead, but I was even MORE surprised at some of the comments following the post because they were very positive and pro-Obama and definitely not what I usually find on MSN posts having anything to do with PBO. Some were even saying that they would definitely be voting Obama in 2012!!!
Video clip of the Orchard owner was wonderful. He was such a bubbly, happy person. I can’t wait until POTUS really starts to campaign. He will demolish that android Mitt Leading.

Interesting quote from Steve Jobs that I thought I’d share:
“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.” ~ Wired, February 1996
Senate Republicans on Wednesday proposed eliminating a 3.8 percent tax on the investment income of upper-income wage earners, which was approved last year in order to help pay for the healthcare law.
“We should not pile more taxes on the backs of working families and job creators,” Cornyn said Wednesday. “This will not help create jobs and will not make the tax code more pro-growth.”
Hmmmm!
I loathe them. Every effing one of them.
Of course what field is a growth field in the U.S., with a built-in demand if people could have access to the product? Health care.
Monsters.
They have started to drag out the GOP “foreign policy” advisers. . . GRASSLEY (SP)????
You can smell “d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-i-o-n” a mile away when Chuck Grassley is being trotted out by the media as the foreign policy expert!
What happened?? Fran Townsend was not available?? I guess we will be seeing Cheney pretty soon.
No, they all work for Romney! Lol!
I really hope the White House gets confirmation one way or the other so that if Gadhafi is truly dead so that the President comes out and owns this.He was bashed by the Left and the Right yet he stood firm and did the right thing.
Bush’s cronies yet again (boy do I love saying that 😀 ) will parade on tv to somehow claim this as another “victory” for the Bush failed doctrine
Democrats needs to be on every network as well
First it was Bin Laden, and now Khaddafy. Just once I’d like to wake up in the morning without hearing about one of President Obama’s enemies getting killed. And don’t think for one second that President Obama didn’t know about what was going down while he was somewhere in Virginia picking out pumpkins for Halloween.
Don I as a VET take exception to your statement in this respect these guys who are killed are enemies of the United States not The enemies of President Obama.Next he is carrying out His OATH OF OFFICE TO SERVE AND PROTECT AGAINST BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.If you don’t to read about it stop reading because this President is going to do his job come HELL OR HIGH WATER.
Wesleya17, I respect your service to this country. I would never do anything or say anything to dishonor that service. I have two brothers and a father that served in the military. I apologize if you felt I was trying to bring dishonor, I assure you that was not my attempt. I was being sarcastic with my comment about President Obama and his enemies. Please accept my apologies.
Don, I truly accept your apology ,it is just when I was in war the feeling was the CIC didn’t care about the body bags coming back as much as Our President Obama.It is like his mind set is you hurt my boys I’m going to find you and that is the end.And when you see it done as a x fighting man you go to Hell and back and back this man who has your back.That is all Don sorry if I sounded so hard it just hit a nerve.
Thank you Wesleya, I’m so glad you responded. I have the utmost respect for your service to this country, I should have thought more before I made my comment. Thanks for being so understanding.
*Put on his most earnest foreign policy pundit face*
‘I think what we can see today, with the capture and death of Muammar Quaddafi, is the full flowering of Ronald Reagan’s successful strategy to isolate Quaddaffi and nurture a budding democracy, when he bombed a tent in the 1980s. We can attribute the ousting of Hosni Mubarak, death of Osama bin Laden and elimination of scores of Al Quaeda lieutenants to the strategically brilliant initiative of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, when they started a war in Iraq. If you’re President Barack Obama, you have to be grateful to be born in the right place at the right time, in order to inherit the benefits of the nuanced bombing decisions of your predecessors.”
The people are taking matters into their own hands because brutal dictators have murdered thousands of their own people and stolen billions, leaving their citizens in hunger and poverty for generations.
DALLAS (Reuters) – First Solar Inc does not expect any delay in the completion of its massive Topaz solar power project in California despite not having clinched a U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee to finance it.
The U.S. solar company is in advanced talks with several potential buyers for the project, a senior executive said on Wednesday.
“We have been pleasantly surprised that it was not a single party that we were able to sit at the table with, which for that size project was fantastic,” Jim Lamon, senior vice president of engineering, procurement and construction, said in an interview.

I saw that FIredUp and LOL at him. The look on his face was priceless 🙂
I’m sharing this one everywhere!
Thanks ChristiMtl
Thanks Christi! This video is PRICELESS, and I’m glad that someone had the guts to expose that FRAUD and call him out for who he really is!!!
Ratigan is NO hero.
WHOA!!!!
Can’t view the video at the moment, but I’m so glad this fraud is being called out. Why do these clowns think they can go down to OWS and pull the wool over their eyes. People may say the movement is unfocused, but I think it’s working just fine. At the very least, these people are waking up to what’s really been going on in the economic system and how it’s robbed all of us.
They sit up on these cable “financial news” networks and basically carry water for corporations and their bogus ratings and stock prices with loud, screaming headlines and busy, oversaturated screens worshipping greed and deceiving the masses. I hope all these jokers get run out on a rail. 👿
wow, the dude totally nailed that pretend left yeller.

I admit I have not been as connected or active as I should be lately — I have responsibilities to meet and I’ve unhappily needed to prioritize. I always contact my congress critters on important votes and topics. I have not had the time to explore how twitter works (I honestly still don’t get it). But I’m trying to catch up on my reading.
Here’s a post from TPV yesterday that appears to have Democratic soundbites written all over it: http://www.thepeoplesview.net/2011/10/dick-fuld-and-gopconservative-attack-on.html
Our task is that a full 40% of Americans believe the lies, believe what’s easy. Donald Trump yesterday was absolutely stunning: Cain’s plan is simple, so it’s good. No, it actually sucks and cannot remain as it is, but as a political tool, it’s effective. TPV Americans have dangerously short attention spans (when it comes to their world or their government, not when it comes to new iPhones or the World Series). It’s not enough to say, “They lie!” but come back with instant, potent soundbites that cut to the core of the lie.
The TPV post referenced above shows a picture of an OWS protester holding a big sign explaining what Wall St. has done. It’s amusing. But the “Other People’s Money” meme has potential for being distilled into something that can be used against Republican/conservative lies, because Americans do not understand what Wall St. and the banksters did.
Correction: The OWS photo is from another TPV post, but on the front page.
GOP JOB CREATION (What a joke.)
And the media continues to carry water for the GOP. They act like there is only one branch of government (EXECUTIVE BRANCH) that is responsible for governing and job creation. The GOP has a majority in the House of Representatives (LEGISLATIVE BRANCH), but you would never know it from the feckless reporting of our media. They have failed the American people miserably. It’s a disgrace.
Check out this amazing website below. Read it and weep for our country. It’s up to us to get the word out. Twitter brigade, you know what to do. http://www.republicanjobcreation.com/
=================================
Shortly after gaining the House of Representatives in 2010 the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, made the welcome claim that the primary purpose of the Republican Party was to increase employment. His exact words were:
“We’re going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs.”
The following, therefore, is a chronological list of legislative activities by the GOP beginning 2-10-2011. I’m sorry to report that none, so far, have resulted in a single new job being created in America.
(Note: I began this list as sort of a joke. That it has reached its currently imposing length without one anecdotal citation of new employment is astonishing.)
(1) Attempted curtailing of abortion rights.
(2) Attempted defunding of Planned Parenthood.
(3) Attempted defunding of NPR.
(4) Investigating Muslims.
(5) Declaring English as America’s Official Language.
(6) Reaffirming “In God We Trust”. Yawn.
(7) 3-28-2011: Challenging AARP’s tax-exempt status.
(8) 4-1-2011: Approved defunct funding for failed religious schools.
(9) 4-6-2011: Attempt to destroy Medicaid.
(10) 4-8-2011: Attempt to destroy Planned Parenthood.
(11) 4-11-2011: Planning on shutting down the government
(12) 4-13-2011: Attempt to destroy the EPA.
(13) 4-15-2011: Attempting to eliminate financial counseling.

This needs to be tweeted and go viral. proof of Gop trying to destroy America
Ladyhawke, don’t forget the debt ceiling debacle which could have brought down the world economy, not to mention the destruction to our country and its reputation.
SORRY MITCH, THIS IS A PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY, SUCK ON THAT!
Tell it L3.
October 2011 is starting to look like the month when the American people finally woke up. The combination of the roll out of the American Jobs Act and the Occupy Wall Street protests has the GOP back on it’s heels. The American people are with President Obama and there are polls to prove it.
And Mitch McConnell has the audacity to slam President Obama for taking his jobs plan directly to the American people?? Somebody needs to tell Mitch that this is a participatory democracy. President Obama is doing exactly what he should be doing.
Mitch made it clear that his goal was to make President Obama a one term president. His goal wasn’t job creation, it was to take down our president. So now he thinks he can blame President Obama for the sluggish economy and high unemployment? Unbelievable.
Again I ask, where is the media. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are afraid to compare the AJA with the GOP plan because the AJA makes the GOP plan look like a coloring book. They are afraid to report the facts because the facts will make the GOP look bad. How pathetic is that??
Minority Leader Pelosi Statement on Social Security COLA
October 19, 2011
Democrats created Social Security, and we will protect it.”
===========================================
San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after the Social Security Administration announced that, starting in January 2012, Social Security beneficiaries will see their first Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) in three years:
“Social Security is a bedrock promise to our seniors: that after a lifetime of work, Americans would know some small measure of protection in retirement. Increases in the Social Security COLA are central to keeping that promise – helping seniors face the rising costs of basic necessities like food and housing. With today’s announcement, America’s seniors will once again receive this critical assistance.
“For two years, seniors have gone without a COLA, threatening their economic security in the midst of the economic downturn. During this time, Democrats tried repeatedly to fill this gap; yet, at every turn, Republicans opposed any action, choosing to deny our seniors this vital lifeline of stability and support.
“For today’s seniors and for generations to come, we must reaffirm our fundamental commitment: to preserve and strengthen Social Security, not privatize it; to maintain this pillar of economic security, not undermine it. Democrats created Social Security, and we will protect it.”
