Star Advertiser: College interns who help run one of the island’s largest organic farms guided first lady Michelle Obama through fields of budding salad greens today, then sat down to swap stories with her about their efforts to improve the health of their communities.
Wearing a sleeveless navy dress, Obama traded hugs and laughs with the students, immediately disarming them. “She was so outgoing, just the easiest person to talk to,” said Ku’uleilani Samson, one of the young co-managers at the farm, who completed an internship and earned an associate’s degree. “She made you feel totally comfortable.”
The nonprofit MA’O Farms, on 24 acres of Lualualei Valley, is devoted to raising healthy crops for local consumption while also growing a new generation of leaders in touch with the land and their heritage.
“I’ve heard about all that’s going on here for years and years,” Obama told the students. “I jumped at the opportunity to come and not just see for myself but also allow the world to see what you all are doing.”
…. MA’O’s mission dovetails with Obama’s nationwide “Let’s Move” campaign, which aims to raise a healthier generation of children through better nutrition and exercise.

Tonight (11:20 ET): The President and First Lady welcome APEC leaders and spouses in an arrival ceremony
Sunday: The President delivers opening comments at the APEC Summit and attends sessions through the day; holds a press conference to wrap up the summit. In the evening meets with the Mexican President and the Canadian Prime Minister at the North American Leaders Summit. The First Lady hosts a luncheon with APEC leaders’ spouses at Kualoa Ranch.
Monday: Holds a fundraiser in the morning. That will be his only event for the day before he leaves on Tuesday morning for Canberra, Australia.
That weather looks wonderful. Wish it was me damn it!
Thanks Chips. I was wondering how FLOTUS’ outing was going.
Hiya COS 😉
FLOTUS looks like she is enjoying herself. I love the pictures of her, she looks like a ray of sunshine. Dam I am so proud of her. As someone said our FLOTUS will be a hard act to follow. But whom ever it is will have five years to prepare themselves.
When POTUS and FLOTUS smile, they lights up the room.
Anniebella, I love you!!!! Great truth , you speak!!! HZ
Looks like someone is trying to finish off Mankini Bod Boy before he gets his chance in the Not Romney spotlight. Devastating history, over and out for the Newtster:
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/gingrich_profile_featuring_ex-wife_begets_question.php
And this is the same guy Gloria Borger told Wolfie women were leaving Herman Cain for. Go figure.
As if Glo has her fingers on the pulse of American womanhood. /eyeroll
Perfect! We know she feels exactly the opposite. /eyeroll
Ok, do I really want to know why we’re all calling him “Mankini”?
Never mind, found it. I must now go bleach my brain.
🙂
lol
Newt is burnt toast. I knew that his women woes would resurface as soon as he started surging in the polls. All of these clowns have dirty hands and all are unelectable; even Huntsman with his Iranian connection.
no First spouses attending Apec summit accompanied Mrs Obama to the organic farm? kind of thought it was a group tour with FLOTUS in the lead
No I think they are hosting the opening ceremony with all the first spouses later this evening.
Here you go Linda –

Thanks a lot for the feed back. I did not read the program carefully. Great to see the very good work that young people are doing at that organic farm and the feedback about the students’ impression of First Lady Michelle Obama is very nice
Colorful shorts, first three pics..yum-my lol 😀
Hmmm…That guy to the left of First Lady Michelle looks kinda like PBO, a little darker-skinned and a little more muscular, but definitely similar in stature. Judging from all the photos, FLOTUS seems to be well occupied at the Ma’o Organic Farms while the Prez takes care of business at the APEC Summit in Honolulu. Hurry back, Mr. President. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Later tonight (when we are preparing for bed) they will be hosting the opening ceremony…lots of pics – I’m sure there will be!!!
Is Gloria Borger still on TV? Has she EVER been known to be halfway right? She opens her mouth and words drop out with no brain engagement….but then, so does Wolfie! How ANY woman could vote for Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, Bachman, Perry or Romney, I don’t understand! They are all anti-woman in their goals. Frankly, I don’t understand how a woman can be a Republican. If it had been up to them, we still wouldn’t be voting!!!
Borger is still on. I can’t stand her. Can’t even stand to look at her. I think she actually hates PBO.
The Jennyasses of Journalism
1. Gloria Borger
2. Andrea Mitchell
3. Christianne Armanpour
4. Diane Sawyer
5. Candy Crowley
6. Tamron Hall
7. Norah O’Donnell
FAIL.
Jennyasses? OK, Hope, you’ve got to help me with that one!!
bah ha – jenny ass. female counterpart of jack ass.
Aaaaah, thank you. LOL!!!
Ok, that makes sense.
I can deal with Diane and Tamron most days, but you forget the Arch-Queens of Always Wrong:
Cokie (Obama shouldn’t go to Hawaii) Roberts
Peggy (Ronald Reagan Was God Incarnate) Noonan
🙄
PJ – Noonan raises my blood pressure just thinking of her…..grr…. what about coulter? does even count? Let’s just say: No. No, Coulter doesn’t count
No, no, no, Coulter don’t count. She is not human.
No, Coulter is other.
I expected so much from Tamron Hall, Christianne Armanpour is god awful when it comes to domestic news, and Andrea Mitchell can EAD as far as I’m concerned.
I just found out Armanpour is married to a Republican…so that explains it. What is Tamron Hall’s excuse? She used to talk like she liked PBO, but that’s all changed.
Armanpour is married to James Rubin, the former Assistant Secretary of State during the Clinton Asministration. He is currently an Executive Editor at Bloomberg News.
I forgot to mention that Rubin was/is a very strong Bill/Hillary supporter…he got on my last nerve doing the ’08 campaign.
Damn shame too. That Tamron Hall is kinda hot.
Betsy, I think Tamron has been dipping into Tweetyy’s meds. You are correct, Tamron use to be up with us, now she is passing off as who knows what. I put her out long time ago. Gone girl. No More.HZ
I am sitting in the next room and my husband is watching CNN, and I hear her talking to Wolfie and she is talking about Newt getting GOP women votes from Cain.
Yeah, apparently she is still on TV. Go figure.
I have never heard Borger say one smart thing, nothing intuitive or new. She just blabs some shallow and low level current talking points. I cannot figure out how some people have, and keep, their high profile jobs. It definitely must be WHO you know, not what you know. Paid for her new and improved physical appearance though, so I guess it was good for something. She, and CNN, must believe that it’s better to look good than be good.
“I have never heard Borger say one smart thing, nothing intuitive or new.”
+1,000,000,000 Dotser – she strikes me as being utterly vacant, just repeating talking points like a parrot without ever contributing anything original or interesting herself.
Yet she thinks she’s the second coming of Einstein.
Her springboard to the CNN job was being a contributor on Schieffer’s show so, yep, who you know.
Imagine for a while that Michelle Bachmann were President and her slimy Hubby had to take on the role of First Spouse…can you imagine this guy being anywhere near as impressive as our FLOTUS? The answer is no, you can’t.
hopefruit2, did I read you said Michele Bachmann’s husband take on the role of first lady???????????
😆 😆 *snaps in a circle*
Yes, Hunty!

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/gingrich_profile_featuring_ex-wife_begets_question.php
This is for another day I believe with the spouses. FLOTUS is probably there to check things out and do a run through.

Aint that the truth. You twitter rock Marlz! You are a firece Obama warrior on that mystical thing we call twitter. 😉

Saw Immortals tonite. beautifully filmed and the fight sequences were fantastic. story was meh, but still an enjoyable way 2 spend time.
Anybody know if the meet and greet at the APEC summit will be streamed live?

Mahalo Mucho, Chips, for these pics of First Lady Michelle and the Organic Farmers at Ma’o Organic Farms in Waianae, Hawaii!
NO PANIC
GO ORGANIC! *_^
You’re welcome Cha! Just added an article about the visit.
Thank you so much, Chips! And, for tonight..~A Power Luau~
Tonight: President Obama, First Lady Michelle Host Dinner and Reception for 2011 APEC Meeting..
“At a 6:20 PM Arrival Ceremony, the President and Mrs. Obama will formally greet the Leaders and spouses of the 20 Asia-Pacific economies attending the summit as they arrive for the dinner, including South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak, China’s President Hu Jintao, Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev, and Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda. Dinner is scheduled to begin at 7:20 PM. A reception that will include more guests will follow at 8:45 PM, when there will be a presentation of cultural performances.
President Obama will meet with Hu, Medvedev, and Noda in separate bilaterals today. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and US Trade Representative Ron Kirk arrived in Honolulu ahead of the President. It will be Mr. Obama’s first meeting with Hu since his State Visit to the White House in January of this year. President Lee was honored with a State Visit in October.”
Much more..
http://obamafoodorama.blogspot.com/2011/11/president-obama-first-lady-will-host.html
Oooooooh it looks so lovely there! I need to get my bangle game together. I love the beautiful bracelets Michelle wears. She looks gorgeous and glowy. Sigh…………
ZOMG, the First Lady and those kids are totally throwing gang signs!!!
I don’t understand why Tamron Hall has to come off so partisan. She’s from Chicago for goodness sake. It’s like she’s being ordered to be a jenny ass.
Clearly. I guess bossman Comcast has given orders.
If you work in corporatemedia you damn well better bow to the bottom line. The miracle is people like Al Sharpton who get to speak their mind that happens to coincide with FACTS. What a Concept ..a reality based show!
Cenk & ilk should try it. If that’s even possible.
Actually Tamron is from a small place in Texas.
Ms Tamron has been that way for a while.
I got tired of her act of trying to so hard to show that as a black person she can be sarcasitc and critical of President Obama that most times I mute her out if her program runs and I am home. She always seems to be doing her best to be noticed as a media personality who is not in the 91% of us who strongly support PBO. May be she believes that this is the one way to advance her career!!
All of them better hope and pray that it’s OBAMA/BIDEN 2012, because none of them are any good and they won’t be able to keep the folks who will definitely check out (of msm) after the Obamas leave the White House…these people are useless..
I use to like Tamron Hall, what is up with her?
She’s actually from Texas. I think she worked in Chgo for a bit. I like her—-she’s cute as a bug——but I get mad when she does not push back or sufficiently challenge any Repub on any of their outrageous statements. I always wonder if she is told to be extra special nice to Repubs so they will agree to appear on msnbc as they seek to expand their viewer base. And sometimes I think people on msnbc overcompensate so as not to be accused of being an Obamabot or “LIBERAL!”—horrors at that bad word! I always think that’s a dumb strategy. FOX viewers are not going to be flocking to msnbc, and with CNN going evermore rightward, liberals! need a place to plop. Over half of the voting public voted for Obama. Give us an outlet!
dotster3
Tamron did work here in Chicago. It was for FOX.
Tamron Hall is from Ft. Worth. She is one of the snootiest women I have ever seen. She is always right and everyone else is always wrong. Plus she is always yelling instead of talking.
Chipskcsi, is there video of the Boeing interview?
I’m sure it’s on the WH site 🙂
Hi Halo, I haven’t seen video yet but it was live on the WH site so hopefully they’ll post the video soon.
watched the video on CSPAN an hour or so ago. Please check their website and I believe theiy should have it up
Thanks! I found it on CSPAN. I will definitely check it out after the muppet show
What a beautiful First Lady! Gorgeous, inside and out.
Found a GOP live blog…this guy has a wicked sense of humor!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/richard-adams-blog/2011/nov/13/gop-debate-south-carolina-live
funny! Brits have such dry humor.
I can’t believe these clowns are gonna “debate” foreign policy. Somehow, I’m sure Bachmann will squeeze “Repeal Obamacare!” into the discussion. Look forward to more “Uz-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan” foolery from Uncle Herman. 🙄
I see where “Herb” said he is not interested in the VP slot, but he would like to be Sec. of Def. so he “could kick the you know what of everyone in the world.” Geez Louise. This is all too ridiculous for words.
So true about the humor..thanks desertflower~
“Foreign policy, though, is the hardest subject for the eight Republican candidate on stage tonight, because it not only requires them to know facts but also that it is the one area where even the occasional Republican concedes that President Obama has had one or two tiny successes, such as the death of whats-his-name, that guy, Osaka Lin Baden.
“
Yeah, that cracked me up!
I’m gonna love this guy live blogging this debate! He says Pat “I’m a big racist” Buchanon is on this panel…so know wonder why we’re in decline
Hilarious!!
I have a lot of catching up to do tonight, I’ve been so busy the past few days…..I just read the other threads….fabulous job as usual Chips and TOD’ers, great comments, links……..great pictures!!
Haha I just read this about tonight’s GOP debate.
Sen. Jim DeMint, a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Committee on Armed Services, will each ask questions at the debate.
Hey CM!! LOL, can this dog and pony show get any more hilarious than it already is?
The First Lady looks absolutely gorgeous and she looks fit! Glad she keeps on promoting healthy eating. POTUS has been wonderful and represented the U.S. well during the opening meetings at the APEC summit.
Can’t wait for the clown car debate tonight. GOP and expertise on foreign policy is a ludicrous oxymoron in the age of Obama. Get ready to lose your mind with laughter TODers. 😆
No doubt their brightest foreign policy advice (LOL) we will hear from them except for Paul and perhaps Huntsman, is to bomb Iran. After that they have nothing else to contribute.
And to think that MSM continues to try to make them relevant. Go figure.
I bet the people of Australia will be disappointed when FLOTUS doesn’t show up with POTUS.
Lara Sutton places a kiss on a cut out poster of US President Barack Obama in Waikiki, Hawaii, Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011 in Honolulu
😆
Lordy, Fox news has their first White House scandal. LOL!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Stop the PRESSES!!! 🙂
.
I have that cut out poster. Husband got so jealous and finally made me move it down in the basement sometime last year. He probably caught me kissing it. 🙂 It’s just about time for my cardboard Obama to make an appearance upstairs again. I like to put him in our living room window so those strolling or driving by think Obama’s hanging out here, popped in for a brewski or expert political advice, or something. 🙂
“I have that cut out poster. Husband probably caught me kissing it. ”
too funny
I happened to be flipping through the channels and I caught the CSPAN airing of President Obama’s session with the CEOs earlier today. I had missed the live event but I am very glad I was able to watch the recorded version. Yes the praise heaped on PBO from those members of the TOD family who watched the live event were well deserved!
Okay, I’m noticing that CBS has decided to trot out an anti-Obama panel (on the McLaughglin Group) to trash the President right before the GOP clown debate. Why aren’t they covering the OPEC summit?
If you don’t follow politics closely………..you would never know that President Obama leave the country…….it’s a media blackout….
It’s really crazy.
He is highly popular abroad and they just hate it.
I was surprised to see that Lester Holt mentioned PBO on the nightly news. It was a small blurb but a big report on the Penn stuff.
I use to watch that McLaughlin group every week until PBO was elected. Have not watched it since. That Monica Crowley should be added to the list of bad “Borger type” women list upthread.
Ugh, just ugh. What is going on with these universities?
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/12/us-crime-citadel-abuse-idUSTRE7AB12F20111112
Wow!!
The Citadel said it was commenting on the incident now because of media requests in the wake of the Penn State sex abuse scandal.
The media feeding frenzy has begun…..are they now going to go to every school ?
PRESIDENT OBAMA’S FOREIGN POLICY SUCCESSES
President Obama has been able to implement HIS foreign policy agenda because the Republican Party could not interfere with or filibuster his actions. Congress got their drawers in a bunch over Libya and sending trainers to Uganda to help contain the LRA, but President Obama basically did what he felt he needed to do. Of course, on the domestic front, the Republican Party has been actively sabotaging the economic recovery.
For anyone watching the debate or following live blogging, here is post from Think Progress Special Report itemizing President Obama’s Foreign Policy successes. I expect the GOP clown car candidates to just say they would have done everything differently or the opposite from President Obama. Their knee jerk criticism and opposition to everything Obama should make for some interesting dialogue.
Obama’s Foreign Policy Successes
http://thinkprogress.org/report/obama-foreign-policy-successes/
WHO’S READY FOR THE MUPPET SHOW?!
Hey now, no reason to denigrate the Muppets, who were a part of my upbringing, by comparing them to the Klowns. Kermit has more humanity in his webbed pinkie than all of them put together.
” Kermit has more humanity in his webbed pinkie than all of them put together” I heard that! 😆 😆 😆
OK the “debate” is going to start….lets see how long I can stand this…..
“Debate” is so on point a4alice!! this is a definite circus of clowns. But our President has to have someone to soundly crush in his reelection so why not one of these clowns? (smiling)
Anyone want to watch tonight’s freak show?
http://www.cbsnews.com/2718-250_162-1335.html
Yes I’m watching. The first hour is also televised and the last 30 minutes will be livestreamed on the website.
Hell No! But Thank you Chipsticks.
😀 I’m just now reading all the comments from today, and this one just stood out…..”Hell no! “. Right on anniebella…..LOL!
OMG! I’m watching it and some of the answers sound like they are coming from 8th grade Social Science students.
GGail, 8th grade Social Science students are about to sue you!
I KNOW!!!!!
I will try now to watch the (gag) R debate. Old Major Garrett is one of the moderators – we’ll see how it goes. Even the candidates look bored!
Or if you prefer your clown cars livestreaming…
http://www.cbsnews.com/2718-250_162-1335.html
I think I missed the notice on this: Is there a chance that we will have the luck of watching the APEC summit arrivals for the welcome ceremony tonight?
Ps. I never could have thought that I would be in situation where I am eager to see a LIVE event of POTUS welcoming world leaders. Thanks to President and Mrs Obama, I am so looking foward to this and I hope the live stream will be available
Snap, Crackle, and Pop the GOP Clown debates have begun. Twitter is already killing me with laughter.
Oh, this is the foreign policy debate.
So to speak. 🙂
Great, Mitt isn’t ruling out going to war with Iran. Just what the world needs 🙄
I am sure Bill Burton is standing by for another great ad. 🙂
Beautiful photos of our Beautiful First Lady. She looks absolutely lovely. I always say this but FLMO’s skin looks amazing.
Obama/Biden2012
She is so pretty. I remember an interview with then Senator Obama on how he first met her and he was just awestruck. He said that she was beautiful. You GO!!! Mrs Obama!!
Our local NBC affiliate had a good segment on the President’s APEC summit this evening. Not just talk about it, but the President actually speaking. He’s smart to go to the local stations for interviews. If you go anywhere on the internet, you’ll find info about his trip…YAHOO, Youtube, other places. People 45 and younger get all their news from the internet from what my children tell me. They never watch network news. If you look at the commercials on the network news programs…you’ll see what age does watch it!!! Old white people…..like my husband and me!!!!!
That’s great. Sometime local reporting is better than the so-called Nat’l reporting.
😆 😆 😆
Well, this old white women never watches network news and gets all her information from the internet, so maybe their loss of viewers is getting larger.
I like seeing that..thanks carolyn. It’s encouraging!
Well I am home from a long day. Now to get lots of reading done. Looks like its a beautiful day in Hawaii. I sure can dream of being there. Is anyone watching the debate? I can’t imagine what the teapubs have to say about foreign policy. Now off to read.
“Anyway, a Romney presidency means war with Iran. Hurrah. It’s been years since America had a bloody, expensive and fruitless war.”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/richard-adams-blog/2011/nov/13/gop-debate-south-carolina-live
When Jon Huntsman’s views on war abroad seem to make sense in certain areas, you know he’ll never get to be Pres.
Huntsman is pandering to his pro-left posse.
I just wrote a nice long comment but I forgot to sign in. It is now in the land of spam. Is anyone watching the clown show? I have been gone all day. Now I have lots of reading to do.
Found it and freed it Marilyn! 😉
Thank you!
The only person who is going to make any iota of sense is Ron Paul. He’s crazy as a bedbug, but halfway sane on foreign policy.
Rick Perry just had a two-second brain freeze, but he got out of it. That’s all anybody will think of, when he starts speaking.
He just said every country will start with zero foreign aid when he becomes President. That ought to be a big winner around the world, especially the poor countries among our allies. Now, he’s saying if our American manufacturers can go into other countries, he’ll give them foreign aid. Hmmm. Does any of that makes sense?
Is Cain talking about clarifying who our enemies are so that we can cut them off? I heard him say that on CNn in this morning in Atlanta.
Perry probably thinks Pakistan is a rebel province in Belgium. No, strike that – he’s never heard of Belgium.
Poor Willard. Last debate he had hair gel and some wispy bangs. This debate, Lindsay Lohan’s makeup artist seems to have touched up his cheekbones to make them look all hollow and stuff – I guess to show the difference between him and Newt.
My goodness Perry is a dumbass. Wants to eliminate all foreign aid. The nimrod doesn’t understand that foreign aid is less than 1% of the budget and Israel not Pakistan is the biggest consumer of our foreign aid. #CBSNJDebate.
He really is a complete idiot UT, I’m beginning to think he’s in there to make the others look marginally non-stupid.
I know, UT. Its like these nut jobs live in a fact free zone. Didnt any of them take a single economics class? Geez, foreign aid is less than 1 % as u factually stated. Anyway, I will not watch, but will check in here for updates from you nice people.
IT’S NICE TO HAVE REAL MODERATORS!
Mr Gingrich, Obamasux is not a foreign policy strategy. Thank you.
“Pakistan, friend or foe?” Herman Cain is asked. “We don’t know,” says Herman. He wants “specific commitments” from Pakistan to prove it is a friend of America’s.
Like what? Such as, I don’t know, maybe if Pakistan “liked” the US on Facebook? Would that do it, Herman?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/richard-adams-blog/2011/nov/13/gop-debate-south-carolina-live
hahahahahahahahhahhahahhahhahahahahhahahahaha!!!—– “Like what? Such as, I don’t know, maybe if Pakistan “liked” the US on Facebook?”——-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 😆 Oh, Chips! That was so dry and so good! 😀
Chips – Did you spot this from the liveblog at your link:
Moving on to Europe, Huntsman used the word “metastasize” to describe the euro crisis. Then Rick Perry is asked a similar question – and he doesn’t use the word “metastasize”. But he does say that Franc and Germany “have the forewithall” to save the euro-zone. I guess that’s like the “wherewithall” but … in French?
Oh my God, that’s sublime!!!! I lost the sound for a bit – maybe a higher power was trying to give me a break? – so missed that. Poor Rick, he doesn’t have the “forewithall” to tie his laces 😆 Thanks for the laugh Jacq!
LOL!!!!! GOOD ANSWER CHIPSTICKS!!!
I sat here and shook my head at some of the answers!!!
And can you believe that Ms. Bachmann actually supported POTUS about going after bin Laden????
OH MY GOSH…THAT LANDSCAPE IS AWESOME!!!!!! I LIKE TO SEE OUR FIRST COUPLE GET AWAY FROM DC INSANITY.
Lovely, the crowd is cheering torture.
https://twitter.com/#!/Nanmac3109/status/135534342603669507
dang. that didn’t work! sorry
FROM THE LOOKS OF MICHELLE…THE PRESIDENT HAD BETTER BE EATING HIS ‘WHEATIES!’…LOLLLLLLLLLLL!
OMG Why is Michele Bachman from my state.
For a woman who professes to be a Christian, she sure gives Christians a baaaaaad name. She is a snake.
She gives snakes a bad name.
Damn. Bachmann will waterboard terrorists herself. WTF? #CBSNJDebate.
How about she go ask OBL if President Obama is weak on foreign policy. F*cking nimrod. #CBSNJDebate
No need to waterboard them. All she has to do is open her big mouth. That cacophony would be enough to make anyone squeal like a stuck pig.
😆
raotflmbo
Anyone know how to contact Keith Olbermann?
On twitter his twitter handle is @KeithOlbermann and @CountdownKO. You can check Current (The name of the station he’s now at) and will probably find his contact info. Hope this helps. 🙂
I don’t know. what’s the area code for Hell?
ps- Hiya Pat! 😉 What’s stuffed turkey done now?
THE SARAH PALIN MODEL
Most of the clown car candidates are following the Sarah Palin model. When they get a question they don’t like they answer the question the other guy got.
Did Bachmann really say the ACLU runs the CIA ?
oh my..
I know Linda: still wiping the coffee spray off my screen 🙄
OMG this is just embarrassing.
What is mittens saying? I can’t watch this in realtime.
These people are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ridiculous. Seriously?
My goodness the GOP crowd is full of sickos. They all cheered for continuing torture and booed the candidates who said we should not torture as it’s illegal.
Mr. Outsourcer just said that China is stealing our jobs….Huntsman is schooling him now
ITS TOO BAD HUNTSMAN MAKES SENSE!
Yeah! Liked his answer on waterboarding …. which will probably see him drop from 1 to 0 in the GOP polls tomorrow.
Also liked his answer on China. At least we’ll get to mop the floor with Willard.
… with the help of all those excellent Huntsman ads! 😉
Yeah, i agree. John Huntsman is making way too much sense which i think will seal his fate is this Republican primary. I mean who wants to hear someone making sense when he can spit out taking points and give answers to questions not being asked. Rick Perry is like a deer caught in the headlights. He is trying his best sound presidential but every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a graduate of the Sarah Palin College of Higher Learning. I honestly don’t know if i should be laughing or crying after watching this debate.
TALKIN’ LOUD AND SAYIN’ NOTHING
As Rev Al would say the clown car candidates are
Like a dull knife just ain’t cuttin’
We’re just talkin’ a lot and sayin’ nothing
Just sayin’ nothing, just sayin’ nothing
http://www.lyricstime.com/james-brown-talkin-loud-and-sayin-nothing-lyrics.html
Oooooh Rick, Israel will start at zero funding? Another ooooooooooops.
LOL, Exactly. And, dick halperin gave him a what!?
Perry and Cain are talking a lot of NONSENSE.
It’s total gibberish. They sound like Charlie Browns teacher.
Ok. Now have to go online to complete the explosion of my brain cells. #CBSNJDebate
Is Bachmann going to repeal Obamacare? 😆
Her very own wet dream
True! 😆
Look at Mittens face when he’s not talking…..
I have a feeling more people outside the U.S. watch these debates than people inside the U.S……and these debates are a total embarrassment. People outside the U.S. are knowlegeable on foreign policy……these klowns are ignorant. How sad! The candidatrs won’t listen to Huntsman. Romney won’t let himself be schooled by anyone. His mind is a closed trap.
What has Keith done now????? I’m so glad he’s on Current which few people watch…
When are they going to ask Herb about Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan?

did we overthrow dictators? I thought the people of those countries did that…
Bachmann is stupid. What the freak does Obama Care have to do with military procurement? My goodness; her stupidity makes my heard hurt.
See, UT…you need to connect the dots…Tricare is for retired military and their families/ thus…healthcare discussion..military/healthcare see the connection?
Hermie gonna keep Gitmo open
I’m not even watching. Did she actually say “Obamacare?” I predicted she would find a way to squeeze it into a foreign policy debate. 😆
Oh yes she did PJ!!!! Comical! 😆
Damn, I should have put money on it! This twit is on the Intelligence Committee somehow. I wish she and her crazy eyes would go back to Minnesota. 🙄
ROFL!!!
Herman Cain thinks that President Obama messed up in Libya. Really??!!! Really??!!! How about he go ask Gadaffi what he thinks. Oh……wait; he’s dead nimrod. #CBSNJDebate
Perfect!
Romney looking at Perry giving a dumb answer!
Willard is looking a little waxy.
He always looks like he needs to get back to the museum.
Does Perry give any other kind of answer?
Our FLOTUS sure looks radiant and glowing. I will say it again, she and the President compliment each other. They are beautiful people inside and out. But personally, I just enjoy how they look at each other when they are together. He comes alive whenever she is around and he seems so energize when she is standing beside him. Whenever I see that picture of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky in the crowd, I cringe. And I think how blessed we are that POB only have eyes for his FLOTUS. These are the family morals the repubs are so quick to shout about, but they have a real problem of carrying this task out. The President and Mrs. Obama together, what a great example for our young people.

Hermies gonna keep Gitmo open ANd Santorum
Ron Paul is going off the deep end…he has a myopic view of things
I do agree with Paul on the trying of terrorists in civilian cts and trusting the rule of law
I thought I could go back and read all of todays posts. But I have tried to keep up with twitter on this debate and it is so crazy I have to come back here and follow. These guys are crazy if they think they can truly be President of the US.
Omg, from what I am reading here, these are complete clowns. Who in their right mind would ever vote for such dumbness?
The pundits may say that the economy will be the only issue in 2012 for voters, but I believe folks are going to consider the security of this nation and who is the best person to handle it. PBO wins a thumbs up.

THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SO MANY WORDS IN THAT TELEPROMPTER! O WAIT..
i tried to watch it online but it was very jumpy. I’m bailing to watch Castle on comcast.
I could watch it very clearly on my local CBS station but I saw Lindsay Graham and the other SC senator being allowed to ask a question and I turned it off immediately. I am sure they all knew exactly what they were going to ask and probably researched the answers.

“America’s Most Wanted?” roflMAO!
WTF ? cbs put rethugs lindsey graham and jim demint are moderators for the rethug debate tonight ??? Is there no level the corporate media whores will stoop to in serving their political masters ?
That was something else amk – I honestly thought they were joking when they said that pair would get to ask questions. And in the middle of a ‘foreign policy’ debate Demint asks about OUT OF CONTROL spending. Good friggin’ grief.
*Peeks into crystal ball*
Mark Halperin: “Bam will be hard-pressed to hold his own with such an accomplished and esteemed group of foreign policy experts that graced the stage in South Carolina. I could see any one of the contenders as Commander In Chief. This is good news for John McCain.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! PJ that’s so funny. But it’s true that’s what he’s probably thinking..probably writing his first draft as we speak…
LOL PJ. Consider it stolen,

Bachmann: Obama Favors American Protesters Over Israel
——————————————————————-
During tonight’s national security and foreign policy GOP presidential debate on CBS, Rep. Michele Bachmann (MN) said that President Obama favors Americans protesting against income inequality over Israel, the U.S.’s chief ally in the Middle East. Bachmann said:
President Obama has been more than willing to stand with Occupy Wall Street, but he hasn’t been willing to stand with Israel. Israel looks at President Obama, and they do not see a friend
After the Israeli embassy in Cairo was stormed this past September and Obama stepped in, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnyahu said, “We owe [Obama] a special measure of gratitude. This attests to the strong alliance between Israel and the United States.” In May, at AIPAC’s annual conference, Netanyahu said U.S.-Israel “security cooperation is unprecedented.”

I can’t get over how these rethugs want us to believe that they are so enamored with Cain. They really wanted to be able to say that they had their black guy too. SMH
I tweeted Mr. Erikson back and told him that he never really cared for Cain but was just using him to make folks think that they were not racist.
I agree with you hopefuit2. Herman Cain is a joke to the GOP, and me too.

Its so good to see president outside of main land USA. He enjoys a great deal of respect and love and he gets the appreciation he very much deserve! Its good for the president these kind of trips. May be he is not in need of it himself, but ardent fans like me can feel much better this way. Enjoy your trip Mr. President! Best wishes to you from Kuala lumpur
Rom-No took a dig at the President for this very strength. Romney is JEALOUS.
First Lady Michelle looks simply beautiful. I loved the way people just want to be around her.
Well, it’s over. The clown car candidates are ready to roll on over to FOX NOISE for adulation and more propaganda. I’m so glad it’s over. Except for a few zingers like Hermann Cain, Perry, and Mittens that was so boooooring. Mitt flipped on the “One thing we know. If we elect Barack Obama will have a nuclear weapon. If we elect Mitt Romney, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon”. Mitt should know by now that is an oxymoron.
Herman Cain is so disgusting. Imagine him talking about surrounding himself with with all the right people. Sure he will; with all blondes.
Perry said he would sent a message to Afghanistan. Too bad he does not get his message.
Ron Paul is still a kook.
does anyone know if tonights arrival ceremony will be streamed live anywhere?
Aloha TOD Peeps! Catching up on all threads for the past couple of days. I thought all the San Diego stuff was tremendous and then I see all the stuff going on in Hawaii. Fantabulous!! Thanks for the all Hawaii pix, that organic farm looks amazing! I love the fact that our illustrious Prez and our illustrious First Lady are such a relentless force of decency and goodness, no matter the stage. Once again I applaud those here who can not only sit thru these “debates” but provide commentary as well.
