I know I’ve watched it like a gazzillion times. I couldn’t wait until my hubby left for work this morning so I could blast it on my computer. Bad DonnaDem 😆
oooooh.. what was this for? I would love to see that myself 😆 I cant stand Halperin, I love when people shut him down on b.s right wing talking points. The uncomfortable look on his face when he gets told to ‘STFU’, always makes for a good laugh!!
I was listening to the top-of-the-hour news on NPR this morning and they played the President singing Al Green – so funny……I swear the newsreader had trouble keeping from laughing…..got to go pick up some stuff for my SOTU houseparty on Tuesday night – at last count we have 17 scheduled in Montgomery County and 5 in my own state legislative district. Have a good day everyone
President Obama singing that he was so in love with us is sure getting widespread exposure. It’s everywhere! People here and around the world—people with a heart and a brain and a sense of decency LOVE Obama.
Have you also noticed that PBO’s few notes have eclipsed anything the R candidates did last night? Was that perfect timing or what?. Who cares about nasty old Newt, stiff-backed Mitt, crusty Ron and wacky Rick when you can hear a gorgeous man singing he loves you. If pheronomes could vote, it would be Obama in a landslide.
Haha….love this Jackie. Amazing what a few notes from a love song can do. Now how the heck can anybody but the hateful not be delighted after hearing that?
Ooooooh I love love my president and now he can add soulful singing to his resume. I would love to see Al Green sing at the WH something tells me his records sales and royalties on that song will skyrocket this year.
Yes. I saw it on either BWD’s diaries back in 2008 singing to Artetha and also to one of Dionne Warwicks songs while they were both at his campaign stops…our Prez can sing y’all.
What do you call a woman that knowingly goes with a married man? Do you realize she could become the First Lady? Didn’t the married man change to her religion to be with her?
Inquiring minds wanna know.
yardarm756, to ease your fears, that won’t happen. We have our First Lady and that thing you are talking about is no were in her class. Four more years for Mr. President Obama and his wife Mrs. Michelle Obama. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Good morning TOD fam one and all! I just think we should stay together, know what I mean! Wow I remember FLOTUS teasing POTUS saying she didn’t think he could dance, but she didn’t say anything about singing! He sounded good, was hoping for the ” times are good or bad or happy or sad” line, I know he woulda put a hurt on it! 🙂
Gallup’s Editor-in-chief Frank Newport appeared on MSNBC to talk about the polling organization’s national tracking poll of the GOP primary race, which is changing rapidly in the last few days of the campaign for South Carolina. Newport said when their new data comes out at 1 pm eastern, “…we’ll see this gap closing more. Romney was up 23 points over Newt Gingrich. Now it will be down about ten points, so clearly things are collapsing.”
Also, I was watching morning schmuck…and Joe said that he has talked to establishment conservatives who are looking for a way to get a brokered convention…because they are not tickled with Mitt.
Wow, can you just imagine how Huntsman is feeling right now? Leaving the race and ENDORSING Romney just before Romney begins to sink?.? Talk about political malpractice…
Another guy who must regret leaving the race is Pawlenty lol…
Huntsman is a terrible politician. Anyone with half a brain would have realized Romney could easily collapse in South Carolina and would have stuck it out at least until Florida.
President Obama’s reelection narrative: America we have made great process and our best days are still ahead, just around the bend; let’s stay together.
OOOOOOOOOOOOH INDEED…PBO IS PULLING IN THE RATINGS FASTER THAN AMERICAN IDOL! I WILL BE WATCHING HIM SING THIS OFTEN. HAVE TO RUN ERRANDS TODAY. PLEASE PRAY FOR THE WEATHER AND OUR HOMELESS FEED TOMORROW..PRAY FOR SUNSHINE…IT’S ‘BRRRR’ OUT THERE…BACK LATER TO CATCH UP!
Prayers to the homeless and for you too Sue for doing a good deed. Also pray for the folks in WA State who are buried in snow, flooding, and no electricity.
Chipsticks you certainly do hold the universe in your hands don’tcha! Just like with the Oh Baby video you’ve created another viral masterpiece. When you go to Youtube, your video of PBO singing is the first recommended video. GMA, CBS This Morning, Today Show, Morning Joe, CNN, Fox News, and a host of local stations all over the country have been repeatedly airing the video. Grown men and women on the news have been giggling and going gaga over PBO’s voice. Journalists have been tweeting about how awesome PBO’s voice is. Jim Messina has been recommending the video to all his twitter followers. President Obama, Al Green, and Let’s Stay Together have been trending worldwide on twitter since last night. It’s the power of Obama. Woooot! Wooot!
What a stark contrast the hatred, anger and racism of the gop candidates vs our President singing a love song. I can’t stop listening to him. Remember in ’08 when FLOTUS was on Colbert’s show and he sang to her and she said her husband is a better singer??
And Chuck Todd is on my last nerve. He is so jealous of anyone who is smarter and better looking than he is, like President Obama who never gets fair, unbiased reporting from him. And like Stephen Colbert whom he slammed yesterday while speaking in front of a group in S.C. He’s all worried that Colbert’s agenda “may be anti-Republican”! Oh the horrors! He warned, “Is it (Colbert’s actions) about educating the public about the dangers of money in politics? Or is it simply to marginalize the Republican Party?” Yay, Chuckie T., the Great Republican Party Defender! I see he’s getting bombarded with angry tweets in response. Good. And he topped it off with saying today that Iraq “MAY” not have had WMD. May??? He either has an agenda or is dumber than a door knob.
Speaking of Colbert—noted that the whole Morning Joe crowd this a.m. was waiting for his appearance. He received huge applause as he entered. All were happy to see him except Halperin who looked really grumpy the whole time Colbert was there. All these guys—-Todd and Halperin etc.—are all worried that Colbert is making a mockery of their self-importance, exposing the b.s. they spew.
Is Chuck Todd joking? How can he is if Colbert’s agenda MAY be anti-Republican?. Has he been hiding under a rock? Visiting another galaxy? OF COURSE it’s anti-Republican, as well as anti-stuffed shirt and most especially anti the obscene money unleased on politics with Citizen’s United. Colbert is one of the funniest comedians of our generation, but he is also a crusader for fairness and justice.
WOW. The Republicans are getting really serious about removing discussion of personal moral conduct from politics: http://t.co/S7RnCBz8— Oliver Griswold (@originalgriz) January 20, 2012
It would be laughable if it wasn’t pathetic: a First Lady for whom everyone’s image will be that it was just fine with her to have an affair with a cheating husband, and that she ‘wouldn’t care’ if he jumped back and forth from bed to bed.
Repubs have forever lost the decency battle. They are willing to elect a President who bringing down another President for doing exactly what he was doing. The hypocrisy of it is staggering.
OMG!!!!! He can SING BEAUTIFULLY, TOO????? Damn! This man is simply too good to be true! Gorgeous to look at, gorgeous jump shot, gorgeous VOICE! Come on! Seems like there’s nothing he can’t do. He’s simply exceptional.
I honestly pity the poor, pathetic GOP nominee who’s going to be up there alongside this man, debating or lying or whatever that poor, pathetic person attempts to do in front of the world. Gracious PBO will do everything he can to HELP HIS OPPONENT SAVE FACE, because that’s just how he rolls.
Exceptional. On every, single level. Simply. Exceptional. I am so grateful he EXISTS. May he live a long, long, long, long, healthy, happy life! And I thank him every day in my heart for taking on the most difficult job on Earth.
OBAMA/BIDEN IN NOVEMBER AND DEMOCRATIC SUPER MAJORITIES IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS because the USA deserves a break from Republican terrible governance, greed, selfishness, avarice and hate.
Hahahahahahahahaha. Another sign for Romney that he’s not going to be basking in the interior of the WH anytime soon. He and his team keep fucking up on a simple thing as releasing one’s tax returns. He sure does know how to make a mountain out of a molehill. With the investigative reporting of his hide away funds in the Cayman Islands and his continued dodging of the tax issue, it is now patently obvious that he doesn’t want to release the forms because he probably used shady tax loopholes and other shady means to avoid paying taxes. I sincerely hope his rivals keep pushing for him to release multiple years tax returns as his father originally did because if he only releases 2011, he’ll probably have cleaned it up real nice.
‘He sure does know how to make a mountain out of a molehill.’
You know, UTALib, I actually think it is a huge mountain to Willard, and not a molehill at all!. There is no question that he is very acquisitive and quite, quite greedy, AND enormously wealthy; Bain’s history documents that. I also believe ONE reason he is waiting until April, is because he doesn’t want to release them and then later find out that he didn’t need to BECAUSE his campaign disintegrates, for whatever reason.
There is no question in my mind that Willard has something to hide, not the least of which is his actual financial worth. I wouldn’t be surprised if his reasoning is …a) I’m not revealing all my finances because the extent of my not giving a kick about the USA would be clear, and that would jeopardize my chances to be CIC.
b) If I don’t reveal my finances and I don’t win I can keep my exploitation of the tax code secret.
c) If I can get away with not revealing my info UNTIL I win (cough! cough!), I won’t have to reveal it at all.
Willard thinks primarily of Willard and his family/peers. IMO his reason for coveting the CIC role is all to do with himself, but he unfortunately can’t get there without our votes, so he’s holding his nose and wading in, and promising whatever he feels will hold us off until ……….
Well, the Supreme Court just favored the Republicsns in the Texas Redistricting case-
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered a Texas court to take a renewed look at the redistricting maps drawn by the state legislature, saying the court had gone too far in enacting its own plan.
Oh I think they know the real Colbert. He’s their hometown guy, grew up in Charleston. They’re tuned in, especially since most of the crowd will likely be college students.
Moron..I’ll post what the awesome Democratic Gov of Montana said
“What the State Department is tasked with doing is getting a complete application that says, ‘Here is the pipeline being proposed.’ But unfortunately, in an unprecedented way, the governor of Nebraska called a special session, changed the laws in Nebraska so that TransCanada no longer has a route, and there’s been no permit granted in Nebraska,” Schweitzer said today on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”
Because the pipeline route is not yet approved in Nebraska, President Obama had no choice but to strike down the proposal, Gov. Schweitzer explained.
“In Nebraska, they say it’s going to be at least six months, maybe a year before they can actually grant a permit. And yet we’re standing before the administration and saying to them, ‘We have an inadequate application, it’s not complete, we don’t know where the route is, so we can’t tell you how big the pipeline will be or where it’s going to be delivered to, now we want you to give us approval.’”
He added, “These jokers in Congress that are trying to force the president to approve of an incomplete application are just making mischief. They’re not helping us develop energy,” he said.
“As the chief executive of Montana, if they asked me to approve of a pipeline with an incomplete application, I would have to reject it. And I am the biggest proponent of this pipeline in America,” he said.
At least she’s revealing her blue dog status up front. People will know what they’re getting with her. It’s so stupid – if she explained to her right wing constituents that there is no way to rule in favor of a pipeline that hasn’t fully been routed yet, I’m sure she’d be in a better position than simply catering to the nonsense. She’s probably getting a pen out to sign the Grover pledge, too.
Good morning Chipsticks and TOD family.
Yesterday was a GREAT day and today is Friday. How good is life?
Life is good because we have a wonderful President who can relate and reach people of all walks in life.
He sings “I’m Every Woman” in referring to his wife, to singing “Let’s Stay Together” to us all during his speech at the famous APOLLO.
And Sandman never made an appearance…..hahahahaha
Life is Good!
“It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats were the Keystone Kops of American politics, getting out-fundraised, out-messaged, and out-organized by the Republicans. But in just a few short years, the ruthlessly effective GOP turned itself into a party of radicals and fools, ever eager to shoot themselves in the foot and outmaneuvered at seemingly every turn. Why did this happen? I get reminded again and again of something Garrett Epps wrote in the Prospect at the end of Bill Clinton’s administration: that Clinton didn’t destroy his enemies, he drove them insane, and they destroyed themselves. I think Barack Obama did (and continues to do) something similar to Republicans.
Their hatred of him is so overwhelming, so powerful, that it clouds their judgment and twists their party into something ugly and incompetent. One can only imagine what they will do to themselves if he wins another four years in the White House.”
Predictions are dangerous, but I’m going to go ahead and make one right now: By November, the Obama campaign will have torn Mitt Romney into tiny little pieces, put those pieces into a wood chipper, and fed the dust that came out the other end to the worms.
I don’t think we’ve ever seen a potential presidential nominee give so much ammunition to his opponent.
“Predictions are dangerous, but I’m going to go ahead and make one right now: By November, the Obama campaign will have torn Mitt Romney into tiny little pieces, put those pieces into a wood chipper, and fed the dust that came out the other end to the worms. He’ll end up the kind of failed nominee that no one wants to associate themselves with when it’s over. Think Bob Dole after 1996, or Michael Dukakis after 1988,”
Good morning Chips and TODville. We are snowed in here in Missoula. At our house we received 20″ since Wed night. It finally stopped snowing this morning. I love it, but it is hard to get around. The schools have closed for 2 days. We have canceled my husbands physical therapy, so I don’t have to take him out. I do have to go out for alittle bit. But thank goodness for wonderful friends and family. People have been coming over to shovel out sidewalk and out driveway. We are so fortunate.
Listening to the President last night was so uplifting. I am still smiling this morning. Now to go out and shovel our porch. I’ll talk to you all later.
My girlfriends daughter is getting married this summer and just emailed her mom this note: “Mom I just found our first dance song…Let’s Stay Together”…ya think President Obama would come and sing it for us.
BILLINGS, Mont. — Exxon Mobil agreed Thursday to pay the state of Montana $1.6 million in penalties over water pollution caused by a pipeline break last summer that fouled dozens of miles of shoreline along the scenic Yellowstone River, a state official said.
Montana Department of Environmental Quality director Richard Opper told The Associated Press that the penalty marks the largest in the agency’s history.
The Texas oil company will pay $300,000 in cash and spend $1.3 million on future environmental projects, Opper said. Exxon Mobil will reimburse more than $760,000 in emergency response costs racked up by state agencies.
Food Stamp President” Ctd
TNC blasts James Taranto’s claim that “Gingrich’s standing O was the most compelling dramatization of racial progress so far this century [aside from Obama’s election]:”
When a professor of history calls Barack Obama a “Food Stamp President,” it isn’t a mistake to be remedied through clarification; it is a statement of aggresion. And when a crowd of his admirers cheer him on, they are neither deluded, nor in need of forgiveness, nor absolution, Thnor acting against their interest. Racism is their interest. They are not your misguided friends. They are your fully intelligent adversaries, sporting the broad range of virtue and vice we see in humankind. If you are a praying person, you should pray for their electoral destruction in November.
+1,000,000,000. Completely agree with Tim Wise. Where the fuck was OWS when African-Americans were getting shafted in all sorts of ways? Where the fuck was OWS when African-Americans were suffering decades of recession? Where the fuck was OWS when GWB was screwing up the economy? Where the fuck was OWS when African-Americans were experiencing inhumane police brutality? All of a sudden their over-privileged and cushy lifestyles aren’t affordable and the haze of weed has cleared off and they dare come to HARLEM to protest President Obama? They dare come to HARLEM to raise their whiny voices about unfairness? They dare come to HARLEM to protest the one person going to bat for them every single day and expect not to be drowned out? The fuck you say? They should do us all a favor and go collectively fuck themselves. Bunch of do nothing morons.
UT, How do you really feel about it?? Seriously, I agree with you, 1 gazillion times over. I never got on the OWS bandwagon, but this, this, THIS RIGHT HERE?? This shows how out of touch they really are. How arrogant, how shallow, how stupid they really are.
Antoine Dodson DUMB!! For real. What did they think was going to happen? I’m just glad that reason prevailed. Somebody really could have gotten hurt. I’m sure the Secret Service and NYPD were on point.
Tim Wise got that just exactly right! The white leftists who went to Harlem are showing just how utterly ignorant and stupid they are. Brainwashed idiots who listen to the profiteering “left” like greenwald, michael moore, etc etc ad nauseum. That guy with the sign is the poster kid for dumbass brainless stooge.
“We’re calling it the ‘Al Green’ effect. We can’t get the song out of our heads after seeing the video of him at the Apollo,” according to a press release Paddy Power issued Friday morning. “Policies are important but so too is the ability to move and motivate people and Obama does that effortlessly.”
Big news on preserving the freedom of the Internet.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has decided to “postpone” a vote on the controversial internet piracy bill PIPA, originally scheduled for Tuesday.
“There is no reason that the legitimate issues raised by many about this bill cannot be resolved. Counterfeiting and piracy cost the American economy billions of dollars and thousands of jobs each year, with the movie industry alone supporting over 2.2 million jobs. We must take action to stop these illegal practices. We live in a country where people rightfully expect to be fairly compensated for a day’s work, whether that person is a miner in the high desert of Nevada, an independent band in New York City, or a union worker on the back lots of a California movie studio. I admire the work that Chairman Leahy has put into this bill. I encourage him to continue engaging with all stakeholders to forge a balance between protecting Americans’ intellectual property, and maintaining openness and innovation on the internet. We made good progress through the discussions we’ve held in recent days, and I am optimistic that we can reach a compromise in the coming weeks.”
Thank you, 57! I left a comment on pmcarpenter’s and borrowed your suggestion that a super ad for the Obama Campaign should be made out of THIS! Thanks for tweeting it to DWS, too..it’s Perfect!~

How do you guys even listen to Chuck Todd? I used to but not any longer.
He said effing WHAT?!?!?
Then where is the ‘unbiased’ narrative slamming Republicans for irrationally painting the President so badly?
Lying liars and the effing MSM liars who support them…….

Chips your vid is on the San Francisco Chronicle’s website. I get the biggest chuckle out of seeing the video EVERYWHERE 🙂
President Obama has a message for Democrats.
“I … I’m sooo in love with you,” he crooned, dropping a few lines of Rev. Al Green’s 1972 hit “Let’s Stay Together.”
The crowd of 1,400 donors went wild (and so did the rest of us)

I thought it was funny when someone on this blog said the repubs were comparing Callista to Jackie O.
Only the version in the was museum.
It would be laughable if it wasn’t pathetic: a First Lady for whom everyone’s image will be that it was just fine with her to have an affair with a cheating husband, and that she ‘wouldn’t care’ if he jumped back and forth from bed to bed.
Repubs have forever lost the decency battle. They are willing to elect a President who bringing down another President for doing exactly what he was doing. The hypocrisy of it is staggering.
“wax” museum. I’ve been working since 5:30 a.m. My brain is fried.
Video from BarackObamadotcom – America and Israel: An Unbreakable Bond:
OMG!!!!! He can SING BEAUTIFULLY, TOO????? Damn! This man is simply too good to be true! Gorgeous to look at, gorgeous jump shot, gorgeous VOICE! Come on! Seems like there’s nothing he can’t do. He’s simply exceptional.
I honestly pity the poor, pathetic GOP nominee who’s going to be up there alongside this man, debating or lying or whatever that poor, pathetic person attempts to do in front of the world. Gracious PBO will do everything he can to HELP HIS OPPONENT SAVE FACE, because that’s just how he rolls.
Exceptional. On every, single level. Simply. Exceptional. I am so grateful he EXISTS. May he live a long, long, long, long, healthy, happy life! And I thank him every day in my heart for taking on the most difficult job on Earth.
OBAMA/BIDEN IN NOVEMBER AND DEMOCRATIC SUPER MAJORITIES IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS because the USA deserves a break from Republican terrible governance, greed, selfishness, avarice and hate.
I totally agree!
Amen, amen, and amen!
Robney still says he will not release his tax returns befor April 15.
http://thepage.time.com/
Why? What is in them, Freddy Kruger?
What do you want him to do?—give the Democrats a gift? as he very clumsily responded.
Who are his advisers, they suck? Lol!
Thanks for the post amk……….. RT’d that!

Hahahahahahahahaha. Another sign for Romney that he’s not going to be basking in the interior of the WH anytime soon. He and his team keep fucking up on a simple thing as releasing one’s tax returns. He sure does know how to make a mountain out of a molehill. With the investigative reporting of his hide away funds in the Cayman Islands and his continued dodging of the tax issue, it is now patently obvious that he doesn’t want to release the forms because he probably used shady tax loopholes and other shady means to avoid paying taxes. I sincerely hope his rivals keep pushing for him to release multiple years tax returns as his father originally did because if he only releases 2011, he’ll probably have cleaned it up real nice.
‘He sure does know how to make a mountain out of a molehill.’
You know, UTALib, I actually think it is a huge mountain to Willard, and not a molehill at all!. There is no question that he is very acquisitive and quite, quite greedy, AND enormously wealthy; Bain’s history documents that. I also believe ONE reason he is waiting until April, is because he doesn’t want to release them and then later find out that he didn’t need to BECAUSE his campaign disintegrates, for whatever reason.
There is no question in my mind that Willard has something to hide, not the least of which is his actual financial worth. I wouldn’t be surprised if his reasoning is …a) I’m not revealing all my finances because the extent of my not giving a kick about the USA would be clear, and that would jeopardize my chances to be CIC.
b) If I don’t reveal my finances and I don’t win I can keep my exploitation of the tax code secret.
c) If I can get away with not revealing my info UNTIL I win (cough! cough!), I won’t have to reveal it at all.
Willard thinks primarily of Willard and his family/peers. IMO his reason for coveting the CIC role is all to do with himself, but he unfortunately can’t get there without our votes, so he’s holding his nose and wading in, and promising whatever he feels will hold us off until ……….
Sad News: Etta James has died at age 73
May she RIP.
Awww! RIP, Etta.
Well, the Supreme Court just favored the Republicsns in the Texas Redistricting case-
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered a Texas court to take a renewed look at the redistricting maps drawn by the state legislature, saying the court had gone too far in enacting its own plan.

Huge crowds already forming 3 hours before Colbert rally in Charleston. Gingrich had to cancel an event today for low attendance, Romney’s events said to be sparsely attended. Here’s the real excitement in S.C.:
http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2012/jan/20/crowd-forms-colbert-rally-c-c-cistern/
I’d be interested in polling to attendees to see how many of them think that Colbert is really conservative.
LL the conservatives are so friking stupid they will never noticed that Colbert is mocking the all the time.
Oh I think they know the real Colbert. He’s their hometown guy, grew up in Charleston. They’re tuned in, especially since most of the crowd will likely be college students.
That’s my concern. Anyone who believes the current Republican b.s. is brain cell-challenged. Sorry. It’s true. There is no reality in their beliefs.
Colbert is such a brilliant satirist that I think they will believe him — literally.
Obama Administration Approves Rule That Guarantees Near-Universal Contraceptive Coverage

So, this candidate for senator, Democrat, is going to run against the Presidents decision on Keystone?-
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/205355-democratic-senate-recruit-asks-obama-to-backpedal-on-keystone-pipeline
We need to find out where her funding is coming from
True!
Moron..I’ll post what the awesome Democratic Gov of Montana said
“What the State Department is tasked with doing is getting a complete application that says, ‘Here is the pipeline being proposed.’ But unfortunately, in an unprecedented way, the governor of Nebraska called a special session, changed the laws in Nebraska so that TransCanada no longer has a route, and there’s been no permit granted in Nebraska,” Schweitzer said today on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”
Because the pipeline route is not yet approved in Nebraska, President Obama had no choice but to strike down the proposal, Gov. Schweitzer explained.
“In Nebraska, they say it’s going to be at least six months, maybe a year before they can actually grant a permit. And yet we’re standing before the administration and saying to them, ‘We have an inadequate application, it’s not complete, we don’t know where the route is, so we can’t tell you how big the pipeline will be or where it’s going to be delivered to, now we want you to give us approval.’”
He added, “These jokers in Congress that are trying to force the president to approve of an incomplete application are just making mischief. They’re not helping us develop energy,” he said.
“As the chief executive of Montana, if they asked me to approve of a pipeline with an incomplete application, I would have to reject it. And I am the biggest proponent of this pipeline in America,” he said.

Pass this response along — this is excellent
At least she’s revealing her blue dog status up front. People will know what they’re getting with her. It’s so stupid – if she explained to her right wing constituents that there is no way to rule in favor of a pipeline that hasn’t fully been routed yet, I’m sure she’d be in a better position than simply catering to the nonsense. She’s probably getting a pen out to sign the Grover pledge, too.
Christie is this week’s MTP guest—–time for the corp. media to give Romney a much needed boost.
Good morning Chipsticks and TOD family.
Yesterday was a GREAT day and today is Friday. How good is life?
Life is good because we have a wonderful President who can relate and reach people of all walks in life.
He sings “I’m Every Woman” in referring to his wife, to singing “Let’s Stay Together” to us all during his speech at the famous APOLLO.
And Sandman never made an appearance…..hahahahaha
Life is Good!
Why the GOP will fail:
“It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats were the Keystone Kops of American politics, getting out-fundraised, out-messaged, and out-organized by the Republicans. But in just a few short years, the ruthlessly effective GOP turned itself into a party of radicals and fools, ever eager to shoot themselves in the foot and outmaneuvered at seemingly every turn. Why did this happen? I get reminded again and again of something Garrett Epps wrote in the Prospect at the end of Bill Clinton’s administration: that Clinton didn’t destroy his enemies, he drove them insane, and they destroyed themselves. I think Barack Obama did (and continues to do) something similar to Republicans.
Their hatred of him is so overwhelming, so powerful, that it clouds their judgment and twists their party into something ugly and incompetent. One can only imagine what they will do to themselves if he wins another four years in the White House.”

Quote For The Day
“Predictions are dangerous, but I’m going to go ahead and make one right now: By November, the Obama campaign will have torn Mitt Romney into tiny little pieces, put those pieces into a wood chipper, and fed the dust that came out the other end to the worms. He’ll end up the kind of failed nominee that no one wants to associate themselves with when it’s over. Think Bob Dole after 1996, or Michael Dukakis after 1988,”
–Paul Waldman, The American Prospect.

Doh, I just posted that. Yeah, that was a great quote.
Good morning Chips and TODville. We are snowed in here in Missoula. At our house we received 20″ since Wed night. It finally stopped snowing this morning. I love it, but it is hard to get around. The schools have closed for 2 days. We have canceled my husbands physical therapy, so I don’t have to take him out. I do have to go out for alittle bit. But thank goodness for wonderful friends and family. People have been coming over to shovel out sidewalk and out driveway. We are so fortunate.
Listening to the President last night was so uplifting. I am still smiling this morning. Now to go out and shovel our porch. I’ll talk to you all later.
So, how many hits on YouTube does it take to Grammy PBO on this Al Green cover? 😉
Well you see Dan you learn something new everyday. 😉
Hahahaha. That’s the beauty of living in the age of Obama. We all learn something new everyday.
My girlfriends daughter is getting married this summer and just emailed her mom this note: “Mom I just found our first dance song…Let’s Stay Together”…ya think President Obama would come and sing it for us.
Too Funny!!!
Ok, that sounds like a new fundraising contest. “Raise the most money and have Barack come and sing for you.”
Or sing for you on the phone, since he might be too busy now to schedule a singing visit. Tres cool! 😎
BILLINGS, Mont. — Exxon Mobil agreed Thursday to pay the state of Montana $1.6 million in penalties over water pollution caused by a pipeline break last summer that fouled dozens of miles of shoreline along the scenic Yellowstone River, a state official said.
Montana Department of Environmental Quality director Richard Opper told The Associated Press that the penalty marks the largest in the agency’s history.
The Texas oil company will pay $300,000 in cash and spend $1.3 million on future environmental projects, Opper said. Exxon Mobil will reimburse more than $760,000 in emergency response costs racked up by state agencies.

Food Stamp President” Ctd
TNC blasts James Taranto’s claim that “Gingrich’s standing O was the most compelling dramatization of racial progress so far this century [aside from Obama’s election]:”
When a professor of history calls Barack Obama a “Food Stamp President,” it isn’t a mistake to be remedied through clarification; it is a statement of aggresion. And when a crowd of his admirers cheer him on, they are neither deluded, nor in need of forgiveness, nor absolution, Thnor acting against their interest. Racism is their interest. They are not your misguided friends. They are your fully intelligent adversaries, sporting the broad range of virtue and vice we see in humankind. If you are a praying person, you should pray for their electoral destruction in November.

I adore Tim Wise.
+1,000,000,000. Completely agree with Tim Wise. Where the fuck was OWS when African-Americans were getting shafted in all sorts of ways? Where the fuck was OWS when African-Americans were suffering decades of recession? Where the fuck was OWS when GWB was screwing up the economy? Where the fuck was OWS when African-Americans were experiencing inhumane police brutality? All of a sudden their over-privileged and cushy lifestyles aren’t affordable and the haze of weed has cleared off and they dare come to HARLEM to protest President Obama? They dare come to HARLEM to raise their whiny voices about unfairness? They dare come to HARLEM to protest the one person going to bat for them every single day and expect not to be drowned out? The fuck you say? They should do us all a favor and go collectively fuck themselves. Bunch of do nothing morons.
UT, How do you really feel about it?? Seriously, I agree with you, 1 gazillion times over. I never got on the OWS bandwagon, but this, this, THIS RIGHT HERE?? This shows how out of touch they really are. How arrogant, how shallow, how stupid they really are.
Antoine Dodson DUMB!! For real. What did they think was going to happen? I’m just glad that reason prevailed. Somebody really could have gotten hurt. I’m sure the Secret Service and NYPD were on point.
Tim Wise got that just exactly right! The white leftists who went to Harlem are showing just how utterly ignorant and stupid they are. Brainwashed idiots who listen to the profiteering “left” like greenwald, michael moore, etc etc ad nauseum. That guy with the sign is the poster kid for dumbass brainless stooge.
This is a first for me, linking to Politico, but I thought this was interesting—-bookie ups Obama’s re-election odds after last night’s singing swoon-fest. He called it “spectacular” and “charismatic” —-and noticed—- the “ability to move and motivate people and Obama does that effortlessly”.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/01/lets-stay-together-upped-obamas-chances-of-reelection-111634.html
“We’re calling it the ‘Al Green’ effect. We can’t get the song out of our heads after seeing the video of him at the Apollo,” according to a press release Paddy Power issued Friday morning. “Policies are important but so too is the ability to move and motivate people and Obama does that effortlessly.”
We keep trying to tell these stupid pundits that he is the absolute BEST campaigner in the race. They Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!
Big news on preserving the freedom of the Internet.
