When the President & First Lady stepped out for the HBO concert, I thought OMG we have such a BEAUTIFUL SMART First couple!! She was so stylish without being fussy, totally chic! As a Fashionista, I was so overjoyed to finally have a elegant First Lady back in the WH, none of this heavy old money Oscar De La Renta crap.
Gosh…the VA state legislature is getting right to work passing their right-wing, no job creation focused agenda, now that they have the majority (of sorts).
It has been an incredible weekof get-out-the-vote phone banking here in Portland and building our neighborhood Obama Teams to carry out all the work to re-elect our fantastic President. I urge you all to look up your local OFA group and get involved. It’s not all phone banking. PRESS ON and be proud of all POTUS and FLOTUS’ accomplishments.
Thanks for the preview of tonight’s Leno show. I have three more hours to go before I get to see it. I loved how her lips twisted in several directions before the word “beautiful” came out.
Gene Robinson thinks Newts speech, was very good.
This guy sucks, as a pundit. Do they give a Pulitzer, for a dumbass?
Apparently, Jovie; I had a hard time trying to figure out where Eugene Robinson was coming from when he first started being a pundit for MSBNC. Let’s not forget he writes for the right wing Washington Post .
What about that stupid @ss Micheal Steele saying he didn’t see the singing as racist; essentially? That’s the problem boot- lickers never see anything but their master’s shoes.
Race baiting and religious jingoism aside, I thought Newt came off like an old, creepy pimp, not concerned with the irony of his ” contract” (or ‘marriage’ ? ) proposal to America. Seriously, I felt like he was trying out his newest pickup lines, complete with the ‘that-other-dude-might-sing-but-I-can-do ya-better’ line. So bizarre
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DESERVES THEIR TWO FRONT RUNNERS
1) Newt Gingrich
– Is the angriest man in America.
– He is the poster child for negative campaigning. He wrote the book.
– He produced the GOPAC memo that describes the dirty names to call Democratic opponents.
– He is a serial adulterer.
– He is a disgraced former Speaker of the House
– He is an influence peddler.
– He was a “historian” for Fannie and Freddie
– He throws racist comments around like confetti.
2) Mitt Romney
– He was a vulture capitalist
– He’s wealthy
– He’s a flip flopper.
– He’s a pathological liar.
– He’s a phony.
– He has no core.
– He can’t get arrested
– He has a habit of copying President Obama.
– He looks very uncomfortable holding a baby.
– Romneycare has become an albatross.
I would love to see other items added to these lists.
Heard a comment this morning changing Vulture Capitalist to Vampire Capitalist. It was because a vulture attacks dead bodies and picks them clean whereas Bain attacked live companies and sucked them dry. Thought that fit well.
I also hear Mitt Romney taking advice from the ’08 Obama Campaign team that McCain ignored. He is making middle America his focus and is trying to take that portion of the population away. He talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk with his governing proposals. WE need to point out that his tax breaks are for the RICH like him not aimed in the middle.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz re: the results of the Florida Republican primary tonight:
“Tonight, Romney was successful in buying his way to victory – but with every passing Republican contest, he becomes weaker with key general election swing and independent voters should he make it that far. That’s because Mitt Romney has made it clear he will say anything, take any position on any given day and before any given audience and will distort any fact about his or his opponents’ record to win.
“But voters are paying more attention than Mitt Romney gives them credit for.
(snip)
“The reason Mitt Romney’s negatives have soared with independent voters nationally and in key states, even as he has won one contest on his home field and bought his way to victory in another, is because the more voters learn about his extreme and out of touch positions the less they like him and the less they trust him to lead.”” –…”
Hay guys, I’m sorry, but when I heard FLOTUS say that he sing, Marvin Gaye . You know I thought of POTUS singing that song to FLOTUS, when I get that feeling, I want sexual healing.
What happened to Alter? Someone at the WH must have pissed him off about something. Maybe he wanted to write another book and did not get access to PBO as usual.
He’s pissed at the WH and Miche for crushing his little two-bit sidepiece and her insipid little gossip rag. Ever since Miche challenge the crap written in that trash heap, Baldie has been having a hatefest, starting by saying Miche doing Gayle’s show and negating the contents of The Sidepiece’s rag “wasn’t smart.” What. The. Frack. E-VAH! 🙄
Foolish, foolish, foolish…I think these people run out of things to say because PBO is not like anyone they have ever seen or known before. Anyhow, I refuse to get upset (anymore) I just turn away. Oh yeah, and I think they like to hear themselves talk!!! Jonathan Alter can go suck on a lemon…
At a $35,800 per head fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel, the president delivered what could become one of his most repeated refrains this year:
“Now I think what we’re really struggling for is the kind of America that most of the people here believe in, and I believe that most Americans believe in. But we’re going to have to fight for it because the other party has a fundamentally different vision about where to take this country.
Their basic argument is that if we strip out regulations, if we disregard environmental concerns, if we take away protections for workers, if we lower taxes even further for the kind of folks who are in this room, that somehow growth and the American dream will be restored. I fundamentally disagree with that vision.”

His public schedule provided little guidance, as usual, simply listing a campaign fundraiser at a “private residence.” Later, details dribbled out suggesting the residence in question was in Chevy Chase, Md.
Now, at long last, the pool report reveals who hosted the president: the residence belongs to Stewart Bainum, chairman of Manor Care and Choice Hotels International, and his wife, Sandra.
The Bainums have been longtime supporters of Obama, writing their first checks on Feb. 8, 2007 — two days before the then-senator officially announced his intention to run for president, records show. They ended up bringing in more than $500,000 for Obama in 2008. This time around, both Bainum and his wife have given the maximum $5,000 contributions to the campaign and Stewart Bainum was one of the bundlers disclosed on Obama’s campaign finance report filed Tuesday.
According to the report, he had raised between $200,000 and $500,000 for the campaign. His level might have just shot up dramatically, to the tune of $2.5 million.
It’s because he doesn’t have to work for it that he squanders money so easily. Nothing has value to someone who has never had to earn what they have. That’s why everything and everyone is disposable to this man. If he is a man. I see him as a freak of human nature.

As the GOP hopefuls duked it out for the final day in Florida Tuesday, the Obama camp dispatched the heaviest hitters in its arsenal to collect campaign cash.
The president spent the evening speaking to supporters at back-to-back events in Washington, while first lady Michelle Obama was scheduled to fundraise in California, and Vice President Joe Biden delivered remarks at a campaign event in Texas.
The total haul for the day was expected to be more than $5 million, according to figures provided by a Democratic Party official. It’s unclear if the campaign planned it that way, but the fundraising push coincides with the campaign’s official report to the Federal Election Commission on last quarter’s numbers.

To bad it was not 6 million, then he could be called- the 6 million dollar man.
hehehehehehhehe!!! So PBO is a mcDaddy, eh? 😉 He loves Marvin Gaye too, eh? Something tells me his favorite song to sing for Miche is ‘Let’s Get It On’ 😉
Well, well. I am just so loving this couple. He sings to her…….she teaches him the Dougie……a match made for the WH.
lisalovesobama, I know this has been hell tonight for you. It is going to get even worse before the election. I admire you and everyone who can watch those idiots. I feel the same way you do.
We have a solid, strong First Family that we are all proud of and love them. That is all that matters. These fools will self-destruct.
Play the video as many times that you need tonight before you go to bed and ……….sweet sleep. It works!
Thank you God for our TOD family and our First Family. We are going to need each other and be there for each other more than ever.
Thank you, Chips.
Oh. No. Let’s Get It On by MG just popped in my head.
FLOTUS is the best. Tonight what you saw is why the Republicans are scare of her. That’s why the attacks. But like Tina Turner sang, “she’s simply the best, better than all the rest”.
FLOTUS looks gorgeous. I am sure the skirt and blouse she is wearing will be sold out tomorrow. The ensemble is simple and colorful. She’s just lovely. And he sings to her all the time. How sweet.
Hi family 🙂 Since I didn’t want to listen to all the stupid RW BS tonight, I watched The Actor’s Studio for 1 1/2 hours of George Clooney:) I love him.Love him. It was a most enjoyable time…better than listening to the RW lies. I see MANY got pissed and upset here tonight because of the lies, and the liars that tell them. I have to pace myself….tonight, I chose George.My insides are happy now!
Alycee, FLOTUS and POTUS will not make a big deal out of that, not like Bachmann did when she was on Fallon show. FLOTUS showed the world why she is a wonderful First Lady, and why we love her and the entire Obama family, including Bo. 4 More years.
Ahhhhh FLOTUS was soo sweet on Leno tonight.
Thanks Chipsticks for that link so that I didn’t have to wait till 11:30pm PST!
I’ve saved that link to my Favorites so I can see other shows – like the Clipper b-ball games on ESPN.
I stayed up to watch Michelle and it sure was worth it – she is so gracious, she is dignified and down-to-earth at the same time. She showed her sense of humor. I was so impressed. And her response to the question about Romney singing was…..outstanding.
It’s hilarious that we’ll never see the end of comparisons of the President singing vs. Robot Romney singing. Good timing.
I stayed up to see our Michelle. She was absolutely charming, beautiful and so comfortable to watch. Even when she explains her causes and concerns, she is so warm and personable……..so real(as Mark Hammond, the next guest just implied).
She looked great. But what I like most of all, she does not wear pantyhose(I know some women must have them) but to me it is freedom, total freedom. Plus my dear husband said I have great legs. So yes, I keep cocoa butter/ Shea butter in every room. And she makes the shoes pop with the outfit, not matching all the time like the stiff, Stepford wives would be expected to do. I like that.
I am so happy our young women have a role model. And young couples have an example.
My youngest son says that MO is highly respected and admired. He says that is why POB swagger is cool. Thanks, MO.
Please, the name of the band? I love them. They were real, raw and different. How cool is that! The place where they showed them lots of love. The young lady has a raspy, Sade type voice. The band was great!

You know when he was on Piers Morgan the other day, they showed “Ambassador At Large” on the chyron. So i mosied over to the State Department website looking for his name among the list of Ambassadors at Large and it wasn’t there. Pffft, I thought …what the heck kind of mess is that CNN pulling. My bad. 🙂
I laughed hysterically when FLOTUS said that Romney’s singing was beautiful. She is incredibly articulate, yet seemed to be at a lost of words. I watched that segment of the clip over and over again. It was too much. It was completely evident that she was being coy. Leno and the crowd seemed enthused to have MO there. The audience responded to her beauty and confidence with a gasp…..love it!
I agree with you DreamChaser57, FLOTUS was wonderful on the Tonight Show.As I said before that is why the right wing is trying to attack her because they know she is a valuable, and I do mean valuable weapon for the Obama campaign. There isn’t anyone from the other side who is in her league.
Actually, what she said was the SONG was beautiful. She didn’t say his singing was. Watch again. People start laughing so it’s a little difficult to catch. She pivoted right away from what she thought of HIM singing it.
Rick Tyler was on the msnbc tonight; he fought with Rachel Maddow & Rev Al Sharpton about Newt’s racist statements. He’s a superpac supporter for the Newt Gingrich campaign. A terrible negative person. http://video.msnbc.msn.com/msnbc-tv/46214067#46214067
I caught this Rick Tyler guy, and none of the MSNBC folks were falling for his crap, and I was happy to see that. I am dam sick and tired of folks like Newt Gingrich telling us that we have no work ethics, or all of us are on foodstamps, or we have no role models. Don’t get me wrong, we have our problems just like any other community does, but we also have people who are darn great role models, and they are not all famous people, we have people who gets up everyday and go to work, and they are not on foodstamps. All communities have problems, but it seem Newt and his GOP racists friends only pick on the black community. I’m fed up with it and it’s time for the media to call them out on it. Call these folks what they are, which is racists. When more people were on foodstamps under G.W. Bush, when was he call a foodstamp President. Now the racists ass Gingrich going after the President because he sang.
NEWT’S MENDACITY WILL DO WONDERS FOR GOTV IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
I loved it when Rev Al said that if you are trying to appeal to African American voters how is it helpful to be calling the first African American president the food stamp president? Rick Tyler was babbling incoherently. It was just embarrassing. Newt’s duplicity is remarkable. He joins up with Rev Al to promote education and now he disparages President Obama every time he speaks. His racist dog whistles are repugnant. For me, he is the ugliest, nastiest, angriest man I have ever seen running for president. The GOP deserves him.
While Newt may think that the racist remarks will get the tea party out to vote, at the same time he is also doing wonders for gotv in the African American community. I just hope that people that live in states where the voter id laws are stringent are getting their paperwork in order and getting the registration process started now. There is no excuse for waiting. VOTING IS OUR MOST POWERFUL WEAPON THIS YEAR. Anyone that decides to sit out the election and not vote is just a glutton for punishment. 2011 was a disaster because of GOP obstruction and manufactured crises. Who would want to go through that again?
Soros says no money fir Obama super PAC, but I will still vote for him.
Then the pundit smiling said, Soros donated in 04, 06, and 08…. 30 million dollars. Maybe old Soris has the Racism bug?
Sigh!
And Occupy Wall Street is dead silent on this. Notice that? Now they’ve moved from the issue of money buying elections to something completely different. I warned from day 1 that I seriously doubted the motives of this so-called movement. They were clearly organized because they thought that PBO was going to be raising $1 Billion dollars and they were trying to thwart his fundraising efforts. They didn’t give a rat’s arse about the GOP candidates…they didn’t give a rat’s arse about Citizen’s United…
Now that it’s clear that PBO’s money comes mainly from his individual supporters who donate less than $250 at a time, OWS is not-so-subtly changing the topic and trying to make it about NDAA, war, etc…anything they can use to pin on the President, while giving their King Romney a free pass.
I saw this crappy statement this morning. Romney, like Gingrich is his own worst foe. In an informal avenue, when he isn’t given scripted words, just like Palin, he opens his mouth and everyone gets to see the real Romney. He said he and his campaign weren’t concerned about the poor, that the campaign was all about the middleclass and everyone else (Hint: The 1%). It was just unbelievable. The lack of a soul in this automaton is breathtaking.
The statement included the social safety net takes care of the poor and if it is broken I will fix it, but who I care about is the middle class. Let’s not misrepresent his words to the point no one will believe our honesty. I do want the message that Mitt Romney cares about the middle class fought with using his policy proposals as examples of how they favor the rich not the middle class.
Once again…Romney is showing a clear difference between himself and the President….once again Romney shows that he has no awareness of what is happening today…many of today’s “New” poor/working poor…were yesterday’s Middle Class….
The president is scheduled to deliver remarks on the economy at the James Lee Community Center in Falls Church, Va.
Administration officials have hinted that an announcement about a new housing program is forthcoming but they have so far declined to say when or give further details. The scuttlebutt around the West Wing suggests today could be the day.
The press played up the words in their headline and left out the tailend of what he said. See my post above. We do not want to misrepresent what Romney said at our own peril of not being believed in the future. What we want to do is show that he does not really care about the middle class from his policy proposals.
PERFECT answer by FL Michelle Obama.
I can only imagine what the “liberal” media would have said had she said something different. And of course the righties would have attacked her patriotism and spun it to say she hates the song (thus America). She handled the question beautifully.
And she looks great.
Can’t see the second video though. I’ll have to go to NBC to watch it.
Of course, now buddy Roemer is on joes show, to talk about what? What is his point.? Roemer is on tv more than herb Cain and nobody likes him. Nobody except msnbc!!! Jeesh. It’s getting ugly out there!
You’re right Bill. ADP is a payroll service. They process most of the private sector payroll throughout the country. Their numbers are an indicator of whether or not the private sector is hiring. I’m glad that payrolls were increased but in order to get that unemployment number to go down companies need to be hiring about 250,000+ new people each month. We’ll take what we can get. Hopefully the 8.5 unemployment rate will hold and not tick up tomorrow.
Just 15 months after taking a thumping in the 2010 midterm elections, House Democrats have seized on the current anti-Washington fervor and are confident they can win the 25 seats they need to regain control of the House. Vice President Joe Biden made a bold prediction on Friday, telling House Democrats at their annual retreat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, “I really do think we’re going to win back the House.”
To flip control of the House back just one cycle after losing it, the House Democrats’ campaign operation is relying on a class of new recruits, just inducted into its “Red to Blue program” that targets Republican seats.

Thanks for the preview of tonight’s Leno show. I have three more hours to go before I get to see it. I loved how her lips twisted in several directions before the word “beautiful” came out.

To bad it was not 6 million, then he could be called- the 6 million dollar man.
hehehehehehhehe!!! So PBO is a mcDaddy, eh? 😉 He loves Marvin Gaye too, eh? Something tells me his favorite song to sing for Miche is ‘Let’s Get It On’ 😉
COCOA BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Wow!! I’m dying. LMBO
LOL!
Lisa, I think you’re ripe for some naughty mat time 😀
I don’t know why but FLOTUS on Ellen doesn’t show until Thursday morning for me.
Me too, but I plan to be right there to watch.
You’re right meabloom. FLOTUS will be on Rachel Ray tomorrow and Ellen on thursday Feb. 2nd.
Guys, what’s Benen’s new address?
http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/
He is at Maddows blog!
Hi BWD, do you mean his blog address or email??
This is the blog:
http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/
http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_nv/more/section/archive?author=steve-benen
Yea, the blog. Thanks, love.
I’ve gotten to his blogs by going to The Rachel Maddow Blog. He posts very regularly……but I’d like an easier, more direct way to get only his posts…..

FLOTUS will be on on the other side of this commercial break.
Well, well. I am just so loving this couple. He sings to her…….she teaches him the Dougie……a match made for the WH.
lisalovesobama, I know this has been hell tonight for you. It is going to get even worse before the election. I admire you and everyone who can watch those idiots. I feel the same way you do.
We have a solid, strong First Family that we are all proud of and love them. That is all that matters. These fools will self-destruct.
Play the video as many times that you need tonight before you go to bed and ……….sweet sleep. It works!
Thank you God for our TOD family and our First Family. We are going to need each other and be there for each other more than ever.
Thank you, Chips.
Oh. No. Let’s Get It On by MG just popped in my head.
I agree.
Thank you, LDS. So glad you are a part of TOD. 🙂
“But he’s gorgeous”
Yes he is Mrs. O. Yes he is.
FLOTUS says PBO is gray but gorgeous.
David Letteran did his “COOL/NOT COOL” segment. COOL was President Obama singing, NOT COOL was Romney! It was great!
THAT SEGMENT IS AWESOME! He did it last time with PBO playing basketball and Shrub shooting an airball.
Watching Leno, okay President Obama just rose the bar for a lot men
Lol
Ha, yes he did! Are you feeling under pressure Andy? 😆
Yup!!!! Lol
Well, Andy46, I feel your pain! Notwithstanding my singing deficiencies, I am still proud of my President and support him 100%!
I just adore the woman, she oozes class from every pore.
It’s amazing how normal and classy she is amidst all the hate from the teabaggers.
ITA, what an example *sigh*
FLOTUS is the best. Tonight what you saw is why the Republicans are scare of her. That’s why the attacks. But like Tina Turner sang, “she’s simply the best, better than all the rest”.
President Obama has a new name; lol —“TheRomanticAndChief”
FLOTUS looks gorgeous. I am sure the skirt and blouse she is wearing will be sold out tomorrow. The ensemble is simple and colorful. She’s just lovely. And he sings to her all the time. How sweet.
Skirt is a repeat. LOVING the sweater — I want it!
Awesome!
Hi family 🙂 Since I didn’t want to listen to all the stupid RW BS tonight, I watched The Actor’s Studio for 1 1/2 hours of George Clooney:) I love him.Love him. It was a most enjoyable time…better than listening to the RW lies. I see MANY got pissed and upset here tonight because of the lies, and the liars that tell them. I have to pace myself….tonight, I chose George.My insides are happy now!
Breathe everyone…breathe.
Me too DF. George Clooney was so cute, nice, generous, funny, and smart. It was a good show.
🙂 He was ALL of the things that you said….It was a good show. I adore him.
I couldn’t watch it either. From the reaction here, it was even worse than I anticipated.
FLOTUS was fantastic!!!!!
Now, tell me why did the band feel it necessary to play “Get up off that thang” as she departed????
Lol, I love it here the things you guys notice.
What can I say — “Obot” and proud! If it’s connected to the President, WE NOTICE! LOL
They did? Didn’t realize. Was too busy sighing over Miche………oooooow! Mark Harmon!
I love NCIS didn’t watch any news tonight,,,can’t take the obvious bias.
Mark Harmon said he met the First Lady and was excited to meet her,
They should have played “Treat her like a Lady”
IA, I am just in awe of her and President Obama I tend to tune all else out.
I’m in awe of them also; really appreciate their service to our country.
Alycee, FLOTUS and POTUS will not make a big deal out of that, not like Bachmann did when she was on Fallon show. FLOTUS showed the world why she is a wonderful First Lady, and why we love her and the entire Obama family, including Bo. 4 More years.
Ahhhhh FLOTUS was soo sweet on Leno tonight.
Thanks Chipsticks for that link so that I didn’t have to wait till 11:30pm PST!
I’ve saved that link to my Favorites so I can see other shows – like the Clipper b-ball games on ESPN.
Good night Chipsticks and TOD family.
Ha! She ate Beets on National tv and pretend gaged. She’s too cool! 🙂
I loved it!! FLOTUS is so great. How could you NOT love her. “But he’s gorgeous”
Yes he is and so are you. Both inside and out.
Part 1:
wow you guys are so fast here, can’t say this enough
that I really like it here.
OMG Chips I adore you!
Mille millions de mercis 🙂
Thanks chips. FLOTUS is gracious and strict too.
Now where is the second half?
Hm. Mark Harmon was remarkably closed mouth about meeting The First Lady. What was that about?
“She’s real.”
Thanks Mark.
🙄
What…… Did he think she was imaginary? You know, sometimes I worry about these people. 😐
Maybe he’s one from the other side. But “F” Harmon, tonight belong to Mrs. Obama.
That “F” is forget, not the other word.
I stayed up to watch Michelle and it sure was worth it – she is so gracious, she is dignified and down-to-earth at the same time. She showed her sense of humor. I was so impressed. And her response to the question about Romney singing was…..outstanding.
It’s hilarious that we’ll never see the end of comparisons of the President singing vs. Robot Romney singing. Good timing.
Giordano weighs on on mittens’ ‘Pyrrhic’ victory
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/4744/romneys-pyrrhic-victory
Thanks for sharing that. Really like his commentary, just as I did in ’08.
The band that closed out Leno performed at the concert for the President’s visit to Ireland! How cool is that?!
Darn! If I had known that, I would have hung around to listen to them!
Mrs. Obama was wonderful. Her sense of humor really came through, after she watched herself “take out” Al on the Today Show!
I stayed up to see our Michelle. She was absolutely charming, beautiful and so comfortable to watch. Even when she explains her causes and concerns, she is so warm and personable……..so real(as Mark Hammond, the next guest just implied).
She looked great. But what I like most of all, she does not wear pantyhose(I know some women must have them) but to me it is freedom, total freedom. Plus my dear husband said I have great legs. So yes, I keep cocoa butter/ Shea butter in every room. And she makes the shoes pop with the outfit, not matching all the time like the stiff, Stepford wives would be expected to do. I like that.
I am so happy our young women have a role model. And young couples have an example.
My youngest son says that MO is highly respected and admired. He says that is why POB swagger is cool. Thanks, MO.
That’s what grace looks and sounds like!
Good night everyone. Have a bless night.
Please, the name of the band? I love them. They were real, raw and different. How cool is that! The place where they showed them lots of love. The young lady has a raspy, Sade type voice. The band was great!
The name of the artist is Imelda May (sp?) I believe.

I just love her, she’s so real, so heartfelt.. an astoundingly good person who makes me smile everytime I listen to her. Thanks so much for posting this, without tv I’d miss these good moments if not for your postings Chips.
Ohhhh… he’s Ambassador FOR Haiti, not TO HAITI!!
You know when he was on Piers Morgan the other day, they showed “Ambassador At Large” on the chyron. So i mosied over to the State Department website looking for his name among the list of Ambassadors at Large and it wasn’t there. Pffft, I thought …what the heck kind of mess is that CNN pulling. My bad. 🙂
I laughed hysterically when FLOTUS said that Romney’s singing was beautiful. She is incredibly articulate, yet seemed to be at a lost of words. I watched that segment of the clip over and over again. It was too much. It was completely evident that she was being coy. Leno and the crowd seemed enthused to have MO there. The audience responded to her beauty and confidence with a gasp…..love it!
I agree with you DreamChaser57, FLOTUS was wonderful on the Tonight Show.As I said before that is why the right wing is trying to attack her because they know she is a valuable, and I do mean valuable weapon for the Obama campaign. There isn’t anyone from the other side who is in her league.
Actually, what she said was the SONG was beautiful. She didn’t say his singing was. Watch again. People start laughing so it’s a little difficult to catch. She pivoted right away from what she thought of HIM singing it.
Hysterical
“It’s a beautiful song” 😆
running late – have a great day all
Yup, she said the SONG was beautiful, not Robney’s singing!
Rick Tyler was on the msnbc tonight; he fought with Rachel Maddow & Rev Al Sharpton about Newt’s racist statements. He’s a superpac supporter for the Newt Gingrich campaign. A terrible negative person. http://video.msnbc.msn.com/msnbc-tv/46214067#46214067
I caught this Rick Tyler guy, and none of the MSNBC folks were falling for his crap, and I was happy to see that. I am dam sick and tired of folks like Newt Gingrich telling us that we have no work ethics, or all of us are on foodstamps, or we have no role models. Don’t get me wrong, we have our problems just like any other community does, but we also have people who are darn great role models, and they are not all famous people, we have people who gets up everyday and go to work, and they are not on foodstamps. All communities have problems, but it seem Newt and his GOP racists friends only pick on the black community. I’m fed up with it and it’s time for the media to call them out on it. Call these folks what they are, which is racists. When more people were on foodstamps under G.W. Bush, when was he call a foodstamp President. Now the racists ass Gingrich going after the President because he sang.
NEWT’S MENDACITY WILL DO WONDERS FOR GOTV IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
I loved it when Rev Al said that if you are trying to appeal to African American voters how is it helpful to be calling the first African American president the food stamp president? Rick Tyler was babbling incoherently. It was just embarrassing. Newt’s duplicity is remarkable. He joins up with Rev Al to promote education and now he disparages President Obama every time he speaks. His racist dog whistles are repugnant. For me, he is the ugliest, nastiest, angriest man I have ever seen running for president. The GOP deserves him.
While Newt may think that the racist remarks will get the tea party out to vote, at the same time he is also doing wonders for gotv in the African American community. I just hope that people that live in states where the voter id laws are stringent are getting their paperwork in order and getting the registration process started now. There is no excuse for waiting. VOTING IS OUR MOST POWERFUL WEAPON THIS YEAR. Anyone that decides to sit out the election and not vote is just a glutton for punishment. 2011 was a disaster because of GOP obstruction and manufactured crises. Who would want to go through that again?
Soros says no money fir Obama super PAC, but I will still vote for him.
Then the pundit smiling said, Soros donated in 04, 06, and 08…. 30 million dollars. Maybe old Soris has the Racism bug?
Sigh!
Where?

ROMNEY IS TRYING TO BUY THE ELECTION!
And Occupy Wall Street is dead silent on this. Notice that? Now they’ve moved from the issue of money buying elections to something completely different. I warned from day 1 that I seriously doubted the motives of this so-called movement. They were clearly organized because they thought that PBO was going to be raising $1 Billion dollars and they were trying to thwart his fundraising efforts. They didn’t give a rat’s arse about the GOP candidates…they didn’t give a rat’s arse about Citizen’s United…
Now that it’s clear that PBO’s money comes mainly from his individual supporters who donate less than $250 at a time, OWS is not-so-subtly changing the topic and trying to make it about NDAA, war, etc…anything they can use to pin on the President, while giving their King Romney a free pass.
To hell with Soros, and Obama doesn’t need his shitty vote either. He can waste it on Romney – who will lose anyway.
Obama has hundreds of thousands of NEW donors (folks who didn’t donate to him in 2008). Soros can take his racism and shove it.
What an arrogant PRICK! And the media has been singing this fraud’s praises all morning. Tell PRICK ROMNEY and his MSM cronies that I said GO TO HELL!
This with no help from Congress — good news!
Sorry – I was responding to meta’s post.
I saw this crappy statement this morning. Romney, like Gingrich is his own worst foe. In an informal avenue, when he isn’t given scripted words, just like Palin, he opens his mouth and everyone gets to see the real Romney. He said he and his campaign weren’t concerned about the poor, that the campaign was all about the middleclass and everyone else (Hint: The 1%). It was just unbelievable. The lack of a soul in this automaton is breathtaking.
This joker thinks the middle class consists of 95% of America. What an idiot!
The statement included the social safety net takes care of the poor and if it is broken I will fix it, but who I care about is the middle class. Let’s not misrepresent his words to the point no one will believe our honesty. I do want the message that Mitt Romney cares about the middle class fought with using his policy proposals as examples of how they favor the rich not the middle class.
WHAT?! THere is no way he said that. That is INSANE!
Once again…Romney is showing a clear difference between himself and the President….once again Romney shows that he has no awareness of what is happening today…many of today’s “New” poor/working poor…were yesterday’s Middle Class….
Pressssssssssssssss ON!
I love Michelle Obama. To borrow a phrase from someone ‘Chocolate rain’.
The president is scheduled to deliver remarks on the economy at the James Lee Community Center in Falls Church, Va.
Administration officials have hinted that an announcement about a new housing program is forthcoming but they have so far declined to say when or give further details. The scuttlebutt around the West Wing suggests today could be the day.
Romney said that he doesn’t give a shit about the poor. What an ass.
Romney should be concerned about ALL Americans.
Did he really say that? If so, wow.
Said he does not care about very poor!
That is a gaffe and an ad for the general election!
Yes it is!
What ?
The press played up the words in their headline and left out the tailend of what he said. See my post above. We do not want to misrepresent what Romney said at our own peril of not being believed in the future. What we want to do is show that he does not really care about the middle class from his policy proposals.
PERFECT answer by FL Michelle Obama.
I can only imagine what the “liberal” media would have said had she said something different. And of course the righties would have attacked her patriotism and spun it to say she hates the song (thus America). She handled the question beautifully.
And she looks great.
Can’t see the second video though. I’ll have to go to NBC to watch it.
Joe says that the President is the most negative campaigner in the history of Presudential politics.
I don’t get it. Senator Obama had a message and a vision and inspired people in 08.
That is the difference!
Joe says that PBO ran more negative ads than anyone in history.
I don’t remember that. What is he talking about ?
At the end, the President made an issue out of MCSAME and his statement that the fundamentals of our economy is strong.
oh…so using McSame own words is a negative ?
Morning Joke is a JOKE.!
Linda, Morning Joke is a liar. And so is anyone who says that POTUS ran negative ads.
Of course, now buddy Roemer is on joes show, to talk about what? What is his point.? Roemer is on tv more than herb Cain and nobody likes him. Nobody except msnbc!!! Jeesh. It’s getting ugly out there!
Good morning, TODville!!
Adp is inaccurate!
I have always thought their numbers were simply based on the companies that are customers of their payroll service. Nothing more or nothing less.
You’re right Bill. ADP is a payroll service. They process most of the private sector payroll throughout the country. Their numbers are an indicator of whether or not the private sector is hiring. I’m glad that payrolls were increased but in order to get that unemployment number to go down companies need to be hiring about 250,000+ new people each month. We’ll take what we can get. Hopefully the 8.5 unemployment rate will hold and not tick up tomorrow.
Bare in mind their is a revision up for 2011 figure added to this report.
So, add 200k to this report and the unemployment should tick down.
That is all!
Haven’t this ADP been wrong right much here lately?
Just one data point.
I love news like this.
Let’s not get TOO excited. ADP the past few months has been off by alot. Last month they said around 300k when it was actually 200k no?
i know that we should evaluate everything….
but i have found out that perception is reality…
it is not that we should not get too excited…but with the onslaught of lies…distortions….degredation of whole groups of people….
feeling good about good things…is acceptable…at least it is for me….
Presssssssssssss ON!

Agreeing that buying a Presidency is ok?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/did-mitt-romney-just-come-out-for-unlimited-campaign-contributions/2011/12/21/gIQA8JPs9O_blog.html
Just 15 months after taking a thumping in the 2010 midterm elections, House Democrats have seized on the current anti-Washington fervor and are confident they can win the 25 seats they need to regain control of the House. Vice President Joe Biden made a bold prediction on Friday, telling House Democrats at their annual retreat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, “I really do think we’re going to win back the House.”
To flip control of the House back just one cycle after losing it, the House Democrats’ campaign operation is relying on a class of new recruits, just inducted into its “Red to Blue program” that targets Republican seats.

Wow!
Thanks Chps. Without you I would miss a lot of the clips you have on here because of my work schedule and the lack of cable. Thank you again.
