Thanks Yardarm 😉
The Obama Diary 
MANY thanks to all of our veterans for all you do!
Scott, I’m right with you there. Thanks to the veterans and their families.
Thanks to the veterans here on TOD (you know who you are), and to the veterans everywhere!
lol at the crowd….can you feel the love?
Awwwww Gabby is so beautiful……
Yes, I can feel the love, and I teared all over again, very emotional for me, ummmm every time I think of that entire tragedy, and the sane world, along with Mr. and Mrs. PBO’s presence there, to befriend all the victims, and most of all, to comfort them, during their grief. The ceremony for all the victims during the Memorial, was soooooooooo very moving.
I would like to also say thank you to all, our outstanding and heroic Veterans. Happy happy Veteran’s Day. You make me proud 🙂

America – why hasn’t @SpeakerBoehner and his fellow #KOCHMAFIAGOP already passed the Veterans’ Jobs Bill? Answer – THEY DON’T CARE
#PRESSON
Luv ya on Twitter
I do, too! Go, Bobfr!
Regarding LOD having T-Paw: Did any of you hear T-Paw rattling off the possible VP names……….Scott Walker, John Kasich, Christie, Nicki Haley, Rubio and 3 or 4 others. He said it is going to be a strong ticket!!!! Riiiiggghhhttt………….Lordy mercy. 🙂 🙂
Hahahahahahaa. If that’s his version of “strong” I’m the freaking Queen of England. 😀 T-Paw is delusional.
utaustinliberal, honestly who gives a darn what T-Paw thinks.
Exactly what I thought. Delusional. Looney. Crazy.
THIS!
That’s why T-Paw is sitting where he is. LOL!!
I put LOD on mute after Timmy said that. They are probably looking at Ms. Haley. Surprise. I hope they will remember how Cain is disrespecting the female voters in any party. These people have no core of what is right and decent. Just my thoughts on the matter. Dreaming, they are. We Got This!!!!HZ
What, no Erick Erickson?
No I didn’t, but the names you just listed, are all JOKES. Now does that tell us anything about the Rethug? 😦
FRENZIED CROWD???? 4REALZ????
They are beside themselves with excitement – can’t you tell? WOW – makes me wish I was there!
😆
Man, it’s like Village of the Damned. Get on with your bad self, Mittens.
They are as robotic as their candidate. Instead of People of the Corn, it’s more like People with No Core.
Oops! Chips, I don’t know what I did, but my comments are going into pending.
The crowd looks so excited to see Romney. Wow!!!!!!!! What excitement.
That Romney crowd really is filled with raging excitement to see him. Haha.
They are fired up and ready to go. Really they are ready to go. Probably asking themselves what the hell am I doing here.
The excitement is palpable. It’s obvious that utaustin, anniebella and myself are now jealous of that crowd!!
Annie, you’re so funny…
Wow, if only we could tap that we wouldn’t need a new grid.
They look like they’re there for a funeral. Quite the contrast to the joyful crowds President Obama attracts!
No kidding. And the lack of diversity practically jumps out.
Romney will fix the lack of diversity by injecting his version of “Who let the dogs out?” during the program. That oughta fire ’em up!
LOL Who let the dogs out? 😀 I was laughing at the frenzied and diverse crowd, but your comment made me almost fall out of my chair!!!
*ML*, they look nothing like the excitement, that we see at the Obama Rallies. Wowwwwwwwwwww, yeah they do look like they’re going to a funeral, sad Sacks, Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 🙂
Romney will have to start paying people to show up at his rallies. Jesus they look bored to death. Good riddance.
can someone just go to the romney events and just add diversity and the joy of life to these photograohed attendees?
Seriously??????????????? Looks like they got there and were thinking “Hurry up already, dinner is at 4 and I need to be in bed by 6:30….what’s the holdup?” do they even freaking KNOW that he would screw them over, hard? Like that SS and Medicare folks??? Jesus, I hate stupid.
i was thinking the same thing. It just represents a lot of blind hatred to me.
LOOKS LIKE THE MC CAIN/PALIN CROWD!!!!!
Oh, terrorism, socialism, communism.
You betcha.
(I’m off to be sick to my stomach, now.)
I think that as well…that incredibly smart black man in the WH makes them all willfully ignorant.
Right there with you! Don’t want to sound too negative…but thats what I get as well. These folk don’t subscribe to putting forth the best and the brightest. They thrive on nativism even if it means chopping off one’s own legs.
😯 Hard to believe any Michiganers even showed up for a Romney rally after his 2008 ploclomation that the Detroit auto industry should just be alllowed to collaspe. NO RESCUE. UNBELIEVABLE. I don’t care what side of the political isle you reside I could not support anyone openly promoting fialure to any American industry. Obama/Biden 2012
And by the looks on their faces and body language, they’re probably thinking everything you just posted.
Totally Agree, Keith. And Mitten’s campaign had shame making those signs with words:”Believe In America.” No wonder the people look so glum. They are probably ashamed of carrying those signs to support a man who wanted an American industry to fail and put millions of people out of work.
Sorry, meant to say: “Mitten’s campaign had no shame!
It looks like they’re lined up for medication and then sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz (crickets in the background)
God bless Gabby and her husband!
I missed saying this on the last thread……Thank you Robert Redford (love his voice!), Thank you Bobfr and Thank you Chipsticks!
Don’t know if this was posted by it’s a hoot.
Rev Al played this on his show today.
Love it!!!!!!! 😆
ROFL, yep, It’s a hoot all right, lol 🙂
Chipsticks, just commented, but nothing went through.HZ
Can’t figure it out HZ, everything’s still going in to pending! Your last message had an email address, unlike the others, but your name was different – ie HZOB2, not HZ. Could you just try HZ this time, with your email address?
Maybe we need to send these photos to Tweety. These people look just like their candidate. Stiff and boring.HZ
Ah CHIPS Fabulous idea for calendar! Make sure ya get that smokin hawt pic of PBO with his shades on for one of those months….hmmmm lets see…..January?
But the President is losing his base!! LOLz!!!!
Romney Crowd 😦
That Mike Tyson aka Herman Cain Funny or Die AD just about killed me with laughter. Jeez……I can’t breathe. Cain! Cain! Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain! 😆 😆 😆 Pizza Pthursday. LMAO.
I didn’t expect him to touch this story, since there is no comedy in it, but Jon Stewart did a brief segment on this story nd he reaction of the students to Joe Pa firing and it was an understated yet strong rebuke of some of he student “defenders” of joe Pa. Did anyone else see it?
Sorry – I don’t watch Jon Stewart anymore.
See I told you prayers can be answer, I prayed for you to drop that dope Jon Stewart.
The Tyson ad was shown on The View this morning and it was a hoot!
Chipsticks, you’re just torturing us now with the Calendar 🙂 But I bet it would be a big seller – especially with the one where he’s getting out of the Beast with his shades on. Hubba Hubba!
Chipsticks, it will not take it.HZ
It says:Your comment is awaiting moderation.HZ
Chipsticks, my heart is beating too fast now, So I will not disturb you now because it has to be late there We will see what happens tomorrow. Thanks so much, Chips.HZ
Here goes about Reggie. HZ
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/10/obamas-personal-aide-to-leave-white-house/
Thanks H, for sharing the article. I feel like I’m losing a family member. In Reggie Love I always feel as though the President is well cared for and looked after.
Ahh nooo, somehow I just hate to see Reggie Love, leave our President’s side :-(. However, I do understand that Reggie must do what he has to do, and I realize that he must move on with his life, but Lordy, i hate to see hime leave, ummmmm.
Chipsticks, it still says,”! Your comment is awaiting moderation.” HZ (I do not know why my name is coming up as H. This is the real HZ. Love you, and have a good night.HZ
two very good people were brought together in life and these ae Cong. Gabby Giffords and Capt Kelly. I admire and respect them very much. Happy Veterans Day Capt Kellly and thanks for yor service to this nation!
Things just keep going the Democrats way:
“In a blow to Colorado Republicans that could affect election outcomes for the next decade, a district judge has ruled in favor of a Democratic map that redraws congressional district lines.”
http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_19310668
So back in November 2010 some tea partiers rode a wave of rage and won some seats in the House. Since that time, they have managed to fizzle out as a movement and inspired rejection and a revolt in the electorate.
Meanwhile Democrats have pushed back on voter suppression and won favorable re-districting in two states and the leader of the Democratic party has double digit leads on all the GOP contenders.
All of this, with no Koch-flavored astroturfing and no mainstream media support.
Good job Democrats! May the momentum keep going.
I wonder who FORCED these losers to stand with the romnry signs…… They Look PATHETIC……..LOL!!
I’ll bet there was free food afterwards. They have the look of people who’ve been told to be patient, the cookies will come soon.
Yes, pathetic, but I love It, because It tells me a heck of a lot, hehehe 🙂
Not sure if you saw Rick Perry deliver The Top Ten Rick Perry Excuses on David Letterman, but it was ghastly. He made an even bigger fool out of himself, if that’s possible.
Sorry I watched.
Happy 11/11/11 … good night, all.
Today is that great day. 11.11.11

Great toons amk for Obama. Thanks for sharing!
Hahahaha morning Chips and TODers. Woke up to some funny stuff on Morning Joe. Donnie Deutch said that one of the reasons for President Obama’s rising poll numbers is that more and morw Americans are watching the GOP debates and thinking “Oh my goodness are these clowns for real? These are the people who want to be President?” And that they’re looking at President Obama and all his accomplishments and thinking yeah…the economy might not be so great but my goodness I’m lucky to have a President who is brilliant and impressive and is actually working for the middleclass. Joe Scarborough flew into a mini-rage and said that he “knows” people at the WH who work very closely with PBO and say that he is not impressive at all. BWAHAHAHAHAHA…….. 😆 😆 😆 How high and desperate is he? He “knows” people who work closely with President Obama? Who? The insane voices in his head? The McDonalds he scarfs down everyday? The GOP clowns are falling apart and their desperation is a sweet sight to behold.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah What happened to Donnie Deutch, was he Bitched Slapped by Obots on Twiitter, because he made sense for the first time in a long time. Joes IS AN IDIOT.
Morning ut, it’s a pleasure to start my day with your comment. Your updates are invaluable.
All have to say to Joe and his crew is “WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE”. Our President Obama is the real deal. He has as a CORE. He is comfortable in his own skin. He is on the right side of the issues. He is trying to improve the lives of ALL Americans (even those that did not vote for him). He has integrity and depth. He is brilliant. Anyone with a couple of gray cells should be able to see that he is the best hope for the future of this country.
The clown car GOP presidential candidates are making a mockery of our democracy. It’s insulting. We are watching the implosion of the Republican Party. They are going to have to reset to zero and start all over again. While President Obama is governing, the GOP is obstructing. The dishonesty and breathtaking hypocrisy of McConnell, Boehner and Cantor knows no bounds. The GOP is not a credible opposition party. Period.
Here are some words of wisdom for Joe and the crew. President Obama and Vice President Biden have said many times – Don’t compare us to the Almighty, compare us to the alternative. That is the choice for the American people in a nutshell.
LOL, Joe Scarborough knows people in the WH who tells him that PBO is not impressive. Is that all he’s got? Deutch went off script and left Joe unprepared to give an answer.
Hint: Joe may want to go ask Sec’y Gates and some of the folks around who know this president’s ability first hand.
And by the way, who’s impressive in the GOP pack, Joe?
Go figure.
I know people who said that Scarborough murdered an intern and left her dead in his office.
Scarborough seems to be channeling Howard Fineman who also has “sources” that tell him everything negative there is to know about PBO.
I know people who said that Scarborough murdered an intern and left her dead in his office…….. Are you serious??????? Is this a joke???????? Wowwwwwwwwww
WHAT AN AMAZING STORY OF COURAGE AND RESILIENCE! WAY TO GO GABBY!
I am sure they told those OAPs that they were going to Bingo or something and they ended up at a Romney event. Wonder why they had everyone standing – hmmm most likey coz they’ll fall asleep if there were sitting.
Glad to see Gabby making such wonderful recovery – blessings to her and Mark.
American Mustache Institute shaves off cain calling him a fraud.
http://www.americanmustacheinstitute.org/blog/2011/11/ami-rescinds-cain-endorsement-amidst-allegations/
ALERT:
Some Republican is trying to cause trouble by registering a fake Herman Cain fundraising site which, when you click on it redirects to PBO’s fundraising site. The site is HermanCanPAC.com and redirects to Donate.BarackObama.com.
Chipsticks, you are way too funny with the “frenzied and highly diverse” descriptions of the group “excited” to see Romney. Oh my gosh could they look anymore bored. Can not help but contrast this with any group President Obama shakes hands with. Another glaringly obvious contrast is President Obama’s speech the other day regarding his support for women. Contrast that with the Cain harassment mess and his campaign’s take on how to handle of the situation along with his “Princess Nancy” debate remark.
Rise and shine everyone 😉
