President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden talk with former Representative Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, after the President signed H.R. 3801, the Ultralight Aircraft Smuggling Prevention Act of 2012, in the Oval Office, Feb. 10, 2012. This bill is the last piece of legislation that Giffords sponsored and voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

Thank you Chips.
What do you call a married woman who isn’t the least bit guilty about loving PBO, Flotus AND Ride or Die Joe Biden? 3:)
I call her smart, clever, never to be doubted! AND Fiirst! You go girl! 😉
lol yup yup. Thanks Pamela. 🙂
Smart!
Oh … my heart is melting! He is such a sweetie pie! Jill, you are one lucky lady and he is lucky to have found you after what he went through. I am sure you are his rock … and he is your rock star!
Good night everyone.
Chips, if you keep showing all those pictures of Michelle, I’ll never make it to the comment section.
Anyway, a belated congratulations to LL for his TPV gig. What I am about to say is not meant in any way as a disparagement of nor a reflection on the fine posters who already are part of TPV. But I fully expect to see TPVs hits skyrocket now the LL is in residnce.
Ok, between my patrons in the library and you guys my head is swelling to dangerous proportions. Thank you all for your kindness.
Swell away. After all, you seem to be a swell guy.
LL, LibLib. We recognize good works, that’s all. Humbling I’m sure, but as my sweet mama used to say.
“Don’t hide your light under a bushel” Now of course, as a kid, I had NO IDEA what she was talking about!! 😆 😆
You’re simply awesome, LL!
LL I do admire your intellect press on !!!!!!!!!!! and keep sweeling it’s O.K.
Now, wait a dog-goned minute, this doesn’t mean your wife has to do the cooking does it? Well done, you! Will have to check out this TPM, whatever that means….
Oopsie, TPV….
I love me some Boss. I posted the video a couple of days ago suggesting it would be the perfect theme song for Obama 2012.
BTW you have skilllzz my friend. 😉
Congratulations!
Thanks LL for your excellent post on TPV. I will be visiting this wonderful place more frequently knowing that you’re going to be a regular there!
FLOTUS looks great in that plum color dress. She is a great First Lady. I’ve said it plenty of times before and I will keep saying it, because it’s the truth. Mrs. Michelle Obama is a great First Lady. 4 more years.
The emoleft once again sniveling about the White House “caving” on this religious birth control nonsense. They truly want a Republican in the White House!
It’s just the desperation of the desperate. The emoleft and the rabid right are being left behind by history, and they know it.
Hiya LL, just to congratulate you again on that wonderful post at TPV, you have such a gift and a magical way with words. And your brain isn’t half bad either (apart from the Chelsea-supporting part). My dream is to see you end up as a columnist on the Washington Post, New York Times, or somewhere similar … that’s where you belong. Looking forward to reading more – now, get typing.
Thank you dearest. Right now I’ll be happy with the readership I can build up. My main goal for this year is to finish the revisions on my novel and either get it to an agent or cut out the middle man and publish it on Amazon.
Oh crikey, an LL novel? You just made my heart sing. Even if there’s no sex or Chelsea own goals in it, I want an autographed copy – okay?
There is some sex, but no Chelsea own goals, for I only draw from real life. 😉
😆 😆 😆 😆
Is there any Ashley Cole own goal sex??
Adding my congrats also, Lib Lib, and expressing my appreciation for your smart, insightful writing! Keep on keeping on!
I can’t do anything but keep on keeping on!
Dear LL, congreats! Your post today was brilliant and I can’t wait to read you in the future. Well done and best of luck.
Thank you, BWD. I still remember that you highlighted one of my first long posts at TOAITR. I’ll never forget that.
And from one car crash survivor to another, it gets easier. It took me a while to drive in the fast lane again — that’s where I crashed. But over time you just subsume it as one more experience to learn from.
Ok. One question 🙂 You MUST give us all a head’s up when you have a new post over at TPV! Deal?? Love you bunches…congratulations! You deserve every bit of this…and I’m thrilled that more people will learn what we’ve known for quite some time…you’re an amazing writer….with a kick ass sense of humor 🙂 All good!
Oh, as I said in an earlier thread, I have absolutely no shame. I’ll blog pimp here!
Actually I peaked at “kos” today and they saw it as a big win for the President. I know you visit HuffNPuff nin but that place I’m convinced is made up of Paulites masquerading as “outraged liberals”. Facebook, Twitter, ThinkProgress, DK and TPM commentors were all giving this a big thumbs up for the most part. Huff is the only place I have seen that is unhappy with this.
HuffnPuff has no relation to Liberal. It’s all an act to allow them to express constant outrage at PBO.
WORD!!
I checked Daily Klotz and really there was nothing but praise to PBO and the way he destroyed the wingnuts today. Some of the “Left” are so far gone, it’s a waste of energy to even listen to them.
How about the emoleft ( cave ) straight to Hell.
1. The first photo is just wonderful. All heart.
2. Michelle Obama may just be even more awesome than her husband. How could that be? 🙂
Because she said Yes when he asked her to marry him! 😉
She’s something else, isn’t she? I completely adore her.
How are you doing BWD? I hope you’re recovering well?
The Springsteen song and video is absolutely perfect. I wonder how many sets of strings that man has to replace on his guitar after every performance. He puts every ounce of his being in his songs. He’s a joy to watch. And this song, “We take care of our own” is perfect for President Obama, perfect for his agenda, his soul, his heart.
Congrats LL….so..so.. happy for you:-) We are so blessed to have your brilliance on our side
thanks for all you do!
Our first family always seems to be working for us. We need to be working just as hard for four more years for them to finish the job.
BBBRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Yeah, baby. I already hear this at PBO rallies this coming summer!!!
First Lady talked me into it. I’m gonna go work out. Right now!
Love Love Love “The Boss”. This new video is awesome.
There are not enough great adjectives to describe our First Lady. She is simply the best evahhhhh
Totally agree, Donna, thus:
And, Michelle Obama is the epitome of “We Take Care of Our Own” as she has proved every day she has been the First Lady of the United States.
#PRESSON
You are the master of twitter Bobfr.
You’re too kind, Donna. Thank you.
Each phrase of that song encapsulate every word and every deed of our President Obama. Exceptionally powerful and timely.
#PRESSON
He truly is 🙂 Bob kicks ass, too!
🙂
Thank you df!
#PRESSON
To borrow from Stevie Wonder, “Isn’t she lovely?” This phrase can be applied to Rep. Giffords and our FL. The emoleft will always be the emoleft, just as the far right will always be the far right, and Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich will always be dishonest pols. There’s no changing them. I keep my focus on getting PBO re-elected in November.
Great photos, Ms Chips! Hope you’re feeling better this pm and will have a pleasant weekend. Our President delivered, yet again!
And:

Furthermore:
We do. We care.

Yes, indeed Bobfr. Sue is a shining example of that pure love shared with so many who are hurting. Thank you, Sue(((((((Hugs)))))))HZ
You are an angel.Truly.many thanks for all you do for so many.
You are right Sue. The riches are being stored up for the poor.
CATHOLIC BISHOPS LOST THE BATTLE ON BIRTH CONTROL. NOW THEY WANT THE US GOVERNMENT TO DO THEIR WORK
===============
The Republicans have now taken on the Catholic church’s failed attempt to stop women from using birth control.
Since the conservatives have no positive plans for the average working American or the nation’s economy, all they can talk about today are the nation’s social issues. But now, with the help of the Catholic church, they have decided to attack the part of “Obamacare” that provides health care and no-cost contraception to workers in businesses owned by religious organizations. This includes religious owned schools, hospitals and other businesses outside the actual churches.
Once again, the GOP seems to be in the process of taking on the wrong subjects.

Our Beloved First Lady is soooooo pretty! Also, isn’t she looking even slimmer?
Okay when did wordpress change? I am now getting a little box that tells me when someone responds to my comments and when I press on it I see their response without going to that actual thread or comment. I can even respond to their response. Is this new or am I behind with this???
I don’t get that. You must have a magic browser!
Wow up top to the right where your screen name is you don’t have a little box to the left of your name with a (1) in it notifying you that I made this response to this comment?
hmm are u sure u r not in the twilight zone? lol
Nope and I am replying to you from the little box….
donnananadonnnana 🙂
YIkes, settle down, Donna. I know it’s the weekend and all but……..
lolol We said the same thing aristac
Donna Dem, is big brother watching you? Hee!
Hey Donna, you’re not in the twilight zone. I have that box too. It appeared this afternoon and I didn’t know what it meant until you just explained. It’s pretty cool. I don’t have to go back to previous threads. I can just see who responded to my comment and reply back easy peesy. Welcome to the 21st century WordPress.
THANK YOU UT and those who don’t have just have a case of the “green monster”. 😉
Seriously. I love it. I don’t know how some of us got it or where it came from but I sure hope it stays.
Me too. It makes responding to replies so much easier. One doesn’t have to scroll back up and down the thread to see if anyone else replied to the comment. The special box just alerts you. Love it. 😀
That is wicked cool! Thanks for pointing that out!
I don’t see my little box anywhere! 😦
No fair! It must be Romney’s fault.
I don’t either hopefruit, I’m feeling very left out 😥
Do you mean at the top of the entire post? Or the reply box? I don’t see my username anywhere except to identify my post.
Mary, its up top of the entire post.There is a The Obama Diary toolbox line where your screen name shows up. To the left of your screen name is a new notification box. Some have concluded that you must be logged in using WordPress in order for the box to show.
Thanks! I didn’t even have the bar at the top of the page, but I wasn’t sure I was looking in the right place. I just created a wordpress account and now the top bar is showing up.
Great 🙂
How can I get that too? Just what I need!
I don’t know how I got it. I noticed it while at work today and thought it had something to do with some kind of update on my job but I have it on my home computer as well. I can’t believe I am the only person who has this. Its great. You can respond to people right from that little box.
Chips, Chips…..why do I have this and no one else seems to have this feature.
because you are in the TWILIGHT ZONE
(in my best scary voice) lol just kidding. cool feature Donna dem
Okay why am I the only one with this feature!!!!
Now I am beginning to think I have entered the twilight zone. Am I really awake or am I just dreaming this. Oh well. I’ll enjoy it while it last. Its a great little feature. 🙂 😉 🙂
De de de de, de de de de…….dah!
I have it too donna
Okay so I am not crazy. Its really kinda neat isn’t it collegekay? Maybe its a DC/MD thang 🙂
Maybe you and collegekay are in the twilight zone together? 😉 ;), as in Greater Together!
Nah. It’s also a a TX thing too Donna. See my reply to you above. I have the box also. It’s pretty fantastic!
Yep DC/MD/TX.
Also there is a follow button now next to your name in this response I wonder what that means???
A follow button next to my name? Is it in the special box or is it in the comment thread itself? Tell me! Tell me! Super excited. 😀
It’s in the special box. Look at my name in this comment. Does it say “Follow” next to my name?
Twitter. But, hey, want want, need need gotta get this button thingy! Aarrgghh…….
Hey!
perhaps the people who have it are all logged into the same system ie, disquis, or yahoo, or google or something in common? Sounds like something google would come up with especially with how they have now tied all their services together
The little 14 year old inventor is on Ed Schultz right now. This kid is too cute. President Obama seemed to have so much fun with him and his marshmallow cannon at the science fair. It’s nice to see him getting so much attention.
Maybe he can go to MIT next year, or the year after…
Way to Go Papantonio..just cld out rethugs @ CPAC as card carrying racist..that have removed the cone shaped hats and are out in the open having a known white supremist as a guest speaker…wow where is the faux media outrage..??
I’m gonna say this, this brother had class in just walking out of that room, because if that were me, I would have went to jail that day. Some shit would be damaged, I’d tell you that right now.
Here is the article.
http://newsone.com/nation/casey-gane-mccalla/conservative-rappers-bust-n-word-rap-at-cpac/
Two conservative rappers, Steven Crowder and Chris Loesch dressed in powdered wigs and jumpsuits performed a pro-conservative rap, “Mr. America” in which they appeared to use the n-word before claiming that they were saying Knickers.
I can’t wait for their Al Jolson, “Mammy” routine and tell me that they just have a real dark tan on. This is what we are against folks.
@anotherslyfox..as i like to say it would have been a whole lotta furniture moving..put that on everything you know and love.lol
This is so surreal I just couldn’t believe it. How crazy can these people get egging each other on. How absolutely repulsive.!
And they don’t see a thing wrong with it and will deny to high heaven that they are racist. I’m so glad that I’m a thoughtful Democrat and not associated with that awful Party.
CPAC had a known white nationalist racist on the panel. Romney, Santorum nor Gingrich denounced this racist. Ed actually covered this on his show. These are racist and they invite racist to participate in the largest conservation conference.
These people in the video got the right one. There are a slew of black men who would have opted for an assault and battery charge.
So willard has so much money that he doesn’t even manage it and has no idea what investments he makes, but we are supposed to let him manage the US economy?
that sums it up perfectly Claire.
Actually…he flip flopped on THAT TOO!
Did you catch Mitt’s ending? He was obviously well-coached with this three talking points. i thought it so in keeping with his personality to add that he pays all his legal taxes and not a penny more (loosely speaking)? So Mitt obviously hasn’t been hearing that the economy need those who make more than average to do their fair share, especially in times of crisis. Also, i would be tempted to ask Willard if putting his money offshore earns no advantage, why not leave it in the exceptional America that he so loves.
Willard probably forgot this is ‘out there’!
‘Which is to say, you can always tell the blind trust what it can and cannot do. You give a blind trust rules.” – Mitt Romney
Thanks for posting the video just love the Boss…can’t wait to see him at the Grammy’s this Sunday.
Quick question to anyone, did President Obama use the line “we take care of own” during
SOTU address?
don’t think so. but some of the phrases were similar.
“leaving no one behind”
“we get each other’s backs.”
here is the link if you want to do a more detailed search. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/01/24/remarks-president-state-union-address
Thanks
Stephanie Cutter is On Piers Morgan and she is knocking down his stupid GOP talking points. She’s one of the BEST surrogates PBO has. Amazing!
I have a lot of respect for Stephanie Cutter. She is smart, a “I do not play that crap” and let me tell you what are the real facts. Love herHZ

Happy Friday everyone!! 🙂
Things at work have been so hectic, but I guess I should be grateful to have a job, even though it’s stressful!
But I get to check out what I missed all day at TOD!
One thing I will say is really disgusting this week, is all the crazy at CPAC. I saw some clips, and I literally wanted to reach through my TV and smack them all!

You passed!
now sometimes Rachel Maddow gets on my last nerve but the comment that Cal Thomas said about wishing her parents exercised birth control when they had her was uncalled for. He should have gotten his butt kicked.
Are you freakin’ serious!! An adult said that to another adult on national television. Holy cow. No wonder bullying is such a problem.
Cal Thomas? Is that idiot still around?

Obama Completely Neuters The GOP’s Cries Of A War On Religion
=========================
Obama was able to acknowledge and answer the concerns about religious liberty without having to violate his pledge to make contraception coverage available to more women. A compromise has been crafted that most in both parties are happy with.
Most significantly President Obama took a right wing attack which was designed to question his faith, and turned it into an exhibition of his moderation. As Republicans continue to move to the right, Obama complete owns the sensible middle. The president countered a baseless right wing attack, and put his full presidential prowess on display.
Obama showed the country what a president should act like, and demonstrated the sort of political skills that are likely to win him a second term.
========================
http://www.politicususa.com/en/obama-birth-control-war-on-religion
Best line” “As Republicans continue to move to the right, (President) Obama owns the sensible middle.” I would say he owns the middle and all contiguous territory to the left and right because the R’s are moving so far right they are going off the line. The Rs sound more extremist and out of touch with each passing day. The crazy is reaching warp speed.
Truly hope they enjoy obliterating themselves – they will not be missed.
Who is LL ? What is TPV ? When will chelsea evah become a good foot ball team ?
And why does FLOTUS looks so hawt ? (Relax ladies, the naughty mats inc have come out with a cool gents version that gives us total immunity from all the “you mcp” insults)
LL is Liberal Librarian a poster here who has just joined The People’s View (TPV). they have some wonderful writers there, tops for me is Deaniac, who is balm to my nerves.
http://www.thepeoplesview.net/
You still haven’t answered that chelsea question. 🙂
The latest rumor is that Fabio Capello is in line to be the new manager at Stamford Bridge once AVB crashes out.
yeah, hire the eyetalian, who got shitcanned by the national team, to mange your team. That’s the ticket to race to the top. Those mourinho days are ovah, José.
(I’m having sign-in issues at TPV.. Will read your piece when I sort that mess out.)
Amk, sadly you don’t share the one true Manchester United faith, but I’d still like to thank you for making me laugh out loud by piddling all over Chelsea. My love knows no bounds.
He makes me laugh as well, because I’m secure enough in my love for THE BLUES that I can laugh at their failings this year. But what really makes me laugh? The gerbil that’s taken up residence on Shmayne Shmooney’s head. 😀
What?? The man-of-the-match gerbil from last weekend?
It’s still a gerbil!
psst. I’m a closet blues fan I’m just pissed off that they pissed everything away.
psst again. Don’t tell that to LL.
Oh Lordy.
Did you not read the House Rules?
No Firebaggers.
No Teabaggers.
No Trolls.
No Chelsea supporters – closeted or otherwise.
And you must bow before Him at the blog entrance:
Nevah. alex can kiss my a$$.
LOL rikyah, amk was just being a bit of a schmuck. He knows damned well who I am, and that CHELSEA ROCKS!!
Just read your post on TPV and it was great. Looking forward to the next one!
I just finish watching FLOTUS on the Access Hollywood clips, they are so great. She is so much fun. I hope POTUS has his Valentine’s Day plan already set. He can’t disappoint FLOTUS.
See I’m not completely crazy. Collegekay is getting the little notification box as well. Too bad y’all are missing out on a neat feature. 😉
Ha Ha!!!
you and collegkay planned this, don’t think we don’t know lol.
Ahhhh jealousy will get you no where dear heart 😆
The west coast shall not be last to have access to cool new features, after all, did we not very generously share Microsoft with all o’ y’all? 🙂
You did Pamela and we East Coasters are greatful but we tend to get everything before you all out on the West Coast so maybe 3 hours from now you will have it. Just kiddin….
I’m not sure why some have it and some don’t . UT from Texas has it so its making its way out West
😦 just like the sunset I suppose! Well, I hope I’m just not looking in the wrong place, or simply not seeing it, I would feel sheepish for sure! 😉
I’m sure Chips will do some investigating thru WordPress to find out what’s going on when she gets a chance.
Hey—–I see I also am the lucky recipient of the little box dealie. Only the Kool Kidz have this feature, right?
We are the “Cats Meow”!!
I do not have that box…:-(
Or perhaps you are the scoop for the litter box as well! Ye- ouch, that was green- eyed with envy, wadn’t it? (You know I don’t really mean it, right?) (just SO relieved it’s Friday, think I’ll go back and play that song again, while I wait for my ‘little box’ to magically appear and simplify my life forever! Love you ladies and gents! Back in a while! 😉
Too funny. Love ya Pamela 😆
Dotster, I was thinking more along the lines of the Favoured Ones, the Teacher’s pets, or the CC pets. 😦
nd yes DD4O, it is jealousy speaking, plain & simple. :green: I’ve peered right and left, top and bottom of the screen and seen no little button whatever. With my luck, if the mystery button is traveling from east to west by the time it decides to come north the feature will be obsolete.
yeaaah we’re special 😀
I think its neat! you know when you get a reply like facebook.. hehe
WAR ON BIRTH CONTROL
By Rachel Maddow
===================
After Mississippi rejected “personhood” and its threat to contraception, after Colorado rejected it twice, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul all attended (by satellite) a Personhood USA candidates forum in South Carolina. All signed a pledge to pursue “personhood” at the federal level. Mitt Romney did not attend the event, but when asked on Fox News ahead of the Mississippi vote whether he would have supported such a measure as Massachusetts governor, he replied, “Absolutely.”
This is critical context for understanding the national media scrum over health insurance and contraception. Taken together — Republicans’ condemnation that birth control be a required benefit of health insurance, their insistence that Planned Parenthood lose all federal funding, their threat to cut federal Title X support for birth control and their support for “personhood” measures that threaten the legality of hormonal birth control — today’s Republican candidates are all Ken Buck now.

h/t Rachel Maddow just shamelessly plugged his editorial on her show.
Oops fingercheck… that should read
h/t Rachel Maddow just shamelessly plugged this editorial on her show.
Unsurprising.
What language is she writing in?
emoprogomania or is that too tautological given the term emoprog is synonymous with mania?
So I met my neighbor here where I’m staying while on vacay. We introduced ourselves, shared a few little pleasantries. Where are you from, I asked. He said Ohio, Cleveland area. He asked me the same. I said, “Illinois, Chicago area.” He said, “Ahhhhh, Obamaland.” I said, “You bet. I love him. I think he’s just a terrific president and a really great person.” He said, “Lots of people feel that way.” And he got on his bike and rode away. What do you think that meant?
Interesting. So the fact that he feels that “lots of people feel that way” tells me that he thinks the Presidents re-election in inevitable regardless of whether or not he is a supporter so I take it as a good thing.
Hmm, sounds to me like he does not feel the same.
He’s a bit of a sad Republican who’s a realist!
Yeah, I’d say he’s a dispirited GOPer. Good.
Okay everybody that doesn’t have the neat new feature re-boot your computer or clear your cache and then log back in to see if you get the notification button.
Oh Donna, do tell! What is it?
Do I have a little box too?
OK I see it. At the top of the page on your right. Its orange and tells you how many replies you have to previous comments you’ve made. As you scroll and read each one the number goes down.
There ya go gobrooklyn. 😉
Oh yes, I noticed that earlier today and I wondered why I had never noticed it before!
BTW: It is not showing up on my iPad, but it was showing up on our other computer screen.
Oh yes I do see it on the iPad now. It is so small!!!!
Ok, now do you have to have an actual WP account for this magical box of wonders to appear?
I would think so LL.
I don’t know LL. Do you sign on through WP (I do) or do you use some other feature to sign in? This might explain why some have it and others don’t. ???
That might be it. I think most people don’t have WP accounts.
I just open TOD in bookmarks on iPad2 and am in….
The two rock acts that get my blood boiling? U2 and The Boss. I *will* get tickets to his new tour, and won’t care if I have to be at work at 7 in the morning the next day.
Good luck getting out of bed the next morning after rocking to the Boss all night! 🙂
Well, to be frank, I think I’d take a vacation day the following day. 😆
Yup! And lots of tea with honey (for the hoarse voice)….
See Springsteen by any means possible! No joke. It’s been a long time for me, but my college roommate at Ohio State took me and I have never stopped loving him since. AWESOME concert! Clarence Clemons was alive and kicking then, but I’m sure that whoever they got to replace him must be great…..GO SEE HIM!!!
I saw Bruce during his L.A. years. Fucking amazing show. But I’m glad he moved back to Jersey; it’s reinvigorated him.
I think you’re right…must be something about Jersey. It’s home for him….and you’re right, AMAZING show. Seemed like he sang for 3 hours when I saw him…it was a visceral experience, to be sure.
there will be two on sax on the next tour: I forgot the name of one of them but the second is Jake Clemons ( I think I have the first name right) who is Clarence’s nephew. How hot is that? Of course Springsteen would do something like that … it speaks to who he is as a person and he loved Clarence.
Absolutely! Great news:)
Hey all, by mistake my finger hit the Obama store link to the right on the TOD screen. I noticed while there a few new items, well new to me at least. It looks like there is a new “women for Obama” shirt or two prominantly displayed now as the first item! Perfect timing! 😉
oooh and its cute too.
Oh I went back to look at it again. Just one shirt and then there is the WFO supporter pack as well. That color Bo in t-shirt is new, right?
Yes its new. Don’t know when it was added though. Have you checked out the “runway” designs. There is a very cute bag there – floral blue and white – but they don’t say how big it is.
Where are the runway designs?
Ordered mine 2 days ago….. Gotta love it! More and more gear every day, should be lots of collectibles over the year! Good for the economy too!
Test………….let’s see if I have a little box. I signed in earlier; got on the treadmill (after being gone for 9 days!!!!) and just noticed my sign in didn’t “take.” So, who knows what will happen when I hit Post a Comment.
No, no little box for me. 😦

Okay everyone, help me out here …. you’re talking about a magical new WordPress little boxie thing. What?! 😳
Ha. And you call yourself the blog owner ….
Fully expecting your KMA stick pic.
I know 😳
Yep and we don’t know how we got it or why some have it but others don’t. We have a new notification box up on the top right side where our screen name is. It notifies us when someone responds to us and it opens a little box where you can respond to their comment. We likey.
Ah, thanks Donna ….. I’m not embarrassed at all that I knew nothing about this :oops:. I suppose I should actually read my emails from WordPress ….. scurrying towards Gmail as we speak.
Some people have a “Follow” button after their names as well. I wonder if this has something to do with twitter???
I see it after your screen name and Ut’s screen name and I follow each of you on Twitter.
Yup! Here’s a screen shot http://i43.tinypic.com/358wfif.jpg
Thanks Collegekay, excellent work (and I looooooooooooove your wallpaper!). Eh, why don’t I have that shiny new feature? 😕
I don’t either 😦
That’s odd that the administrator doesn’t get the new feature Lol.
Actually, CK, my name doesn’t even show on my screen, so I guess that effectively rules me out for a little box! 😦
Damn! I am not a “chosen one”. I have no box.
I’m unchosen too desertflower, I’m feeling discriminated against. 😦
This is bad. I am woman, hear me roar! I want my box:)!!!
YOU don’t have a box, and know NOTHING about it? 😳 Then I owe you an apology, Chips Chica. **heads bowed and shuffling feet** I accused …oops, suggested above that maybe you had been playing ‘CC pets’ and giving little boxes to your favourites. Sawrry.
Collegekay, can you teach me how to do a screenshot?
use the ‘print screen’ key on your keyboard. That copies your whole screen at that moment onto your clipboard. I usually then open it with paint to crop things, but you could just save it from paint as is if you prefer. Once it has a file name, then you can upload it or do whatever.
Thanks Tien Le!
If you have a mac you do SHIFT + COMMAND + 3
College Kay, what browser do you use? e.g. IE, Firefox, Chrome?
I have Firefox, Chrome, and Safari on my Mac. I frequent Chrome the most.
Yeah, little boxie thingy, don’t use twitter, don’t know how to log in to wordpress, may never know what I am missing… Poor little iPad user.. Wah. ;(
Hey was this posted anywhere?
Well was it?
Pretty cool, gobrooklyn. I heard it on my car radio today. I’m glad that she and her hubby are here to witness this. VERY COOL!!
(I thought folks had to be deceased to get stuff like this named after them….)
yes.
Yeah. I believe it was posted in one of the previous threads. It’s such wonderful news.
Howdy ya’ll . Been gone all day visiting with the Dr. Good report and on top of that I see the President scorched some ‘bootys’ today. Go PBO 4 MORE FOR 44!
Ship Ahoy, Yardarm’s here! Oi you, you were AWOL today, get yourself on the naughty mat – right now.
Aye, aye Admiral Chips. We’ve assumed the position on the mat after reading the posts and figuring out the box in the upper right corner. HUMUNGUS potential for direct communication.
I still luv ya! 😉
Hey! Good Dr. report is great news! PBO will be scorching booties for a LONG time! They don’t seem to want to learn that lesson 🙂
I rebooted my computer. I noticed that Twitter has a new set up. But I still can’t find the little box that Donna and the others have been seeing. Guess I won’t rest until I find my little box!
Flippin’ Twitter – I was just getting used to it when they changed everything. I HATE the new layout, yuck yuck yuck.
Agree. It sucks!
However …. I love TweetDeck and only use it 🙂
#PRESSON
How do you use the tweetdeck, Bob ? In installed the app just now and then nothing.
Yeah, how do you use it Bobfr? I downloaded it the last time you and Theo suggested, but it’s just sitting on my desktop doing nothing. So, what’s next? I even tried clicking on it, but … nothing.
HI amk & vc,
Launch the Tweetdeck application.
In it’s standard mode, you will see the tweets from all your ‘friends’ (i.e., all those you have followed) streaming in the right most column. You will see Tweets from anyone who ‘mentions’ you in the next column. And, you will see all your ‘DMs’ (i.e., direct messages to those you follow who also follow you) in the next column.
The yellow icon at the top of the screen that represents a tablet and pen is the one you click and it opens a window over all the columns. That’s where you type your tweets.
They have a very easy to follow tutorial on all of these features and many others they support. All you need to do is read through the various categories listed on the http://www.tweetdeck.com ‘front page.’
Hope this helps.
#PRESSON
Thx Bob. I tried it. It worked.But kinda hate the 3/4th screen appearance and the sliding bar for each column (sintead
Yeah, me too. What’s with these geeks. screwing up a well-working model in the name of “upgrades”haven’t they learnt anything bill gates’ series of fiascoes ?
Here was my initial reaction to the new Twitter:
sonamie Yipes! What has Twitter done with the layout? I DON’T like this! I don’t read this way. Yikes! What can’t be cured must be endured? Sigh.
sonamie Wonder whose brilliant idea it was to switch things up THIS way? I turn my back for a little bit and ….voila! Chaos.
I don’t even know how to bring a tweet over anymore! These were from Wednesday night.
I, too, only use tweetdeck. Makes life very simple. I like simple. Simple is good.
You have to be logged into wordpress to see it, hopefruit. When you’re logged in, the upper right hand side of your screen, you see your username and avatar. To the left is the little box that has a number in it…possibly even zero.
Okay thanks Tien for that info. I will try to log in when I have the time and energy to retrieve my long-forgotten password!
This is me replying from my newly found toy! Totally cool and well worth logging in to use.
Do you have to be signed in here or do you need to go to WordPress.com and sign up there?
WordPress.com That keeps you universally signed in to any wordpress blog you visit.
Thanks, Tien Le! 🙂
I *hate* the new Twitter setup. Before I could read the tweets of followers of the Twitterer I was on. Got a lot of good information that way. No longer. Why did they have to muck up a perfectly good thing?
Romney must have complained that there were too many PBO supporters on Twitter – that the set up needed to be changed to disorient the O’bots.
What, too many? How can a mere 11,000,000+ and still adding be too many? Jealous much Myth, you stupid son of a gun…..?

I will not verbally express what I’m thinking here. I do not want to spend the night on the naughty mat.
Why ever not, hopefruit, isn’t it comfortable there? 😉
Please share 😀
It’s too late now; time for bed..I will share maybe tomorrow. 🙂
You promise,hopefruit2? HZ
Chica, thank you so much for this video. Some of you know that I have a young son with special needs. I am on an advisory committee to the National ARC and I actually planned to attend this meeting, but life got in the way. I SO LOVE THIS MAN.
PBO handles so many things at once with such grace, intelligence and goodheartedness. The fact that he stopped by this meeting means so much to so many who are often forgotten, neglected, mistreated and abused.
A bit of history — ARC used to stand for “The Association of Retarded Citizens” For what I hope is obvious reasons, they now go by just the initials “ARC” and they represent people with a variety of intellectual, physical and developmental disabilities.
Isonprize, I didn’t know you had a son with special needs, although my memory is so abysmal you might well have told me before. Good grief, ‘The Association of Retarded Citizens’ ….. I truly hope the world has come a long way, that is just shocking.
Yeah, my guy was in the picture shaking President Obama’s hand at the airport — the picture and video that you so miraculously saved and graciously sent to me! If it wasn’t for you, I would not have that photo!! He’s got lots of special needs, but I won’t go in to detail. He is a teenager, and I want to respect his privacy… 😯 (I am a ‘mama bear’ though, when it comes to his rights and his quality of life)
I agree. As a person that has taught children with special needs for many years, I can attest to the extraordinary gifts these students give ME, every single day.I honor this President who has steadfastly stood for the rights and opportunities for ALL Americans to achieve to their own highest successes. Their gifts and abilities are not lost on this man.
Thank you for your work on the ARC committee, isonprize. It is time well spent. I think they should change the name to: The Association of Extraordinary Citizens.” That would be more appropriate, in my eyes.
Desertflower. Mutual admiration society here!! THANK YOU for your patience, kindness and high expectations as a teacher. If your comments here have been any indication, you did a GREAT job with “our” kids.
I often say that my son teaches me so much. He and kids and adults like him has so much to teach us, IF ONLY WE WOULD PAY ATTENTION AND LISTEN!!!
They are all our children…and the pleasure has been mine. I love all my kiddos…they touch my heart. Yes, we all need to pay attention and listen. And learn. Sometimes thing are just that simple. hugs to you,and your amazing son.
Isonprize, thanks for sharing. What a beautiful moment of sharing. I do love your beautiful comments about being a “mama bear’ when it comes to protecting you son’s rights, and quality of life.” Those words are so loving and powerful.
And how gracious of you to thank Desertflower. This is why I love this beautiful place. And may I thank you as well, Desertflower for your dedication of teaching our beautiful and future young men and women of this country. I have been there, and it is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. Soak up all of the joy that these precious gems bring to your classroom each day, and I promise you that your years of retirement will be filled with memories that are some of the most precious gifts you have ever received as a teacher.
Thank you for being there for these wonderful joys each day. They can bring so much joy to your life even when it seems so impossible. I am so grateful to you for your service, Desertflower.{{{{{{Hugs to you}}}}}}HZ
HZ, Thanks. We really are all in this together. The sooner some narrow minded folks realize that, the better off we will all be.
Now this is a fraudulent practice the GOP would wholeheartedly endorse while claiming to “save” Medicare:
HEADLINE: Medicare fraudster gets 3 years in erectile pump case.
// PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – An Illinois man was sentenced Friday by a federal judge in Rhode Island to more than three years in prison for shipping unwanted penis enlargers to diabetes patients as part of a larger fraud scheme that prosecutors say bilked $2.2 million from Medicare over four years…..Winner purchased penis enlargers for an average of $26 each from online sex shops and then repackaged and shipped them to patients with information claiming the so-called “erectile pumps” helped “bladder control, urinary flow and prostate comfort,” according to court papers outlining the charges against him. The online stores peddling adult sexual products sold the devices under a variety of names, prosecutors said. //
http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/health/story/2012-02-10/medicare-fraud-erectile-pump-scheme/53039366/1
this was kind of funny
Screw the people in possible way- that’s the rethug way.
Hey, everybody.. The very last post on Rise and Shine was from 57andFemale, feeling very upset and saying goodbye, wishing us well. Is this for real, have we lost her? I truly hope not, not over something as asinine as this contraceptives smoke. Does anyone know of this?
say what? i’ll go look
Aww man 😦
This is what she said: “Thank you all. I’ve been scolded and attacked enough. I wish Chips my very best and all of you at the TOD family.”
“I’m seriously tired of being scolded.
I respect your opinion and would ask that if some of us have concerns in real time we not be treated like naughty children.
This stridency will shut off any discussion. We should be better than that.”
======
I’m sorry she feels that way. 57 if you’re reading this know that we were all in our emotions last night and this morning. We all want PBO to succeed and we all care about women’s health. Many of us freaked out but, in the end, PBO clarified his position and all is well. I hope you come back.
Thanks collegekay, for checking on that, and 57 if you ARE reading, do consider returning, not all of us were jumping on each other… It was a tough couple days for a lot of folks here.
Aye. I’m with you on that Pamela. Better hard words from friends than kind ones from your enemies. 🙂
And tonight’s thread so gut busting funny, what with collegekay and DonnaDem wandering the twilight zone pushing everyone’s little buttons and boxes and such like….. Lots of Healing energy here tonight, deepest thanks to Mr. President for keeping things real! Blessing, Light and Love to you all, Chips, you are all much sturdier than I, I am wiped out, tough week here, get some rest if you can, all.
I scrolled back thru and read a few posts. It looked like 57andfemale jumped to a few conclusions before PBO’s statement. I hope she has seen the video with PBO and Sec’y Sebelius by his side. Women’s groups have come out in support of the decision – a decision that really wasn’t new at all.
Sorry that 57andfemale feels like she was scolded. 😯 Passions were running way high over this issue. WAY HIGH!!! 😯
And this is the issue on which she drew the line on the sand ? May be she’ll how this is a win-win for all and change her mind.
This new wordpress thingy is so awesome. Look how it shows you all your replies. I hope everyone gets it soon 😀
Oh that’s neat,…..from what I can see, only people with a wordpress account can have it…..
cool. So what browser do you use?
See, if I had the magic thingy that you are talking about, I would have known that you answered my question already. Instead, I had to scroll back to find it… I haz a sad
On the other hand, it might make me even MORE addicted to TOD!!! 🙄
lol awwww
and yes, i am too addicted to this site.
google chrome!
I signed in via wordpress and I don’t have the little box. hmmm!
Sym, me too. I haz a sad…
It came up once you replied to my comment. Love it!
WHOA, MOMMA!!!! Thanks Sym, I hadn’t even looked up there!!! 😀 Now I have to go back and learn how to use it!!
ooooooh, new toys for me!! (Such a hot life I have on a Friday night!! 🙄 )
Now, I’m really starting to feel discriminated against. I suppose I’ll just go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow when MY little button will show up on its own.
Look down thread to my post. It’s got I tuctions. Not hard to do.
cool
I love that picture, ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to King Barack Obama and Queen Michelle Obama. 🙂
anniebella,
ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to King Barack Obama and Queen Michelle Obama.
You have set the hair on fire of any lurking trolls!! 😆 😆 I love it!!!
lol
isonprize, to hell with any trolls. Considering all the ugly, nasty, racists things they say about our FLOTUS and POTUS on other sites. Any troll knows this site supports President Obama and First Lady Obama, if they can’t take it then keep their “F” self from here.
It does have a nice ring to it lol
King and Queen. Love it! 😀
They really do look regal in that picture. I remember I loved her coat.
Okay, so. What do those of us who have no twitter, no wordpress account, yas, what must we do to stay cool with y’all techie types? Advice is being sought here…. Advice for iPad user! Little old me!
Sign up with wordpress. It’s free. Log in and stay logged in. The goodies are on top of your browser screen on the right. Take the time to register at gravatar.com and upload a picture, too. It will automatically show up here.
Tien, I have an avatar (as you see 😉 ), does that mean I’m signed up with wordpress? And if so, WHY don’t I have a little box?
I might have to deal with this tomorrow, it’s all getting too out of hand…. TienLe, can this be done all from iPad? So much easier to use than the MacBook…. iPhone is okay while at work, but just too small… Back on Saturday.. Night night! 🙂
Just go to WordPress and sign in with your gravatars username/Emil address and your gravatar password. Scroll down for more detailed instructions.
No the appearance of your gravatar does not mean you’re signed into WordPress.
Good evening all; long day and just getting a chance to check-in and catch up. Been a hectic week — finally feeling well enough to be out and about. Had a neighborhood team meeting this evening — final push to get petitions signed; they have to be filed by 5:00 pm on Tuesday. Our county OFA office should be opening in the next couple of weeks — CAN’T WAIT!
Big news is we have a great candidate for PA-7 (Joe Sestak’s old seat); looking to change this CD back to BLUE!
Alycee, great news, my fingers are cross. Go Blue.
Alycee–I thought Sestak was running again, but I’m you have a good candidate. We need that seat.
No, for whatever reason, he decided not to run.
BTW, did you hear – the Federal Court in Philadelphia has thrown out the challenge to the PA Supreme Court’s decision invalidating the redistricting of the state House and Senate. The Court said the April 24 Primary Election can proceed using the 2001 boundaries and denied the request for an injunction. This means we proceed under the old boundaries. WISH they had also challenged the US legislative districts; PA-7 now includes portions of five counties which is absolutely ridiculous.

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them. – Albert Einstein
Oh by the way…I think I found my “little box”….(go to this link and you will see). Ha ha…mine’s 3D and ROTATES!!!
that einstein quote is so deeply pragmatic and useful, i have found myself reverting to its weird logic again and again in life, when the conventional problem-solving pathways were blocked. seems pbo uses this thinking when he’s way out beyond our comprehension, then circles back with a neat solution. not that i’m claiming one iota of his smarts (or einsteins’s obviously) but it’s a concept that works for us all–like, you know, gravity.
um, having said that, i have no earthly idea how to get the newfangled thingy box whatsit you all are talking about.

Oh my goodness. Such sad news.
Oh no, this is so sad.
This is terrible! Did they already know this when they were in the Oval office with the President ?!?!?!?
No, believe the accident was late afternoon/early evening.
Chips and all of my TOD Family, have a wonderful evening. Sweet peaceful dreams, spread love around in everyroom in your home and remember that we have two beautiful lovely ones in ‘The Peoples’ House’, and that is a lot of love.
I wish and pray for each of you to have a great weekend and prepare for a very romantic Valentine Day for and with you r honey. Be gentle to your life, and enjoy your love mates for all times.

For those night owls, here’s some video of FLOTUS having dinner with a family in Orlando this evening:
http://www.wesh.com/health/30432895/detail.html
awesom! I could not have done it! All the picture taking, and omg, I’m having dnner with the fist lady in my kitchen. The kids were shy at first, but our MO got them talking. This is truly beautiful. Thank you for posting. I’m sure folks will see later in the am. Good night all, and thanks again for the late vids
Wow! How great for that family, I know the family has got to be excited and they will never forget this. Man I had dinner with the First Lady. I can imagine her sitting to my table, I probably wouldn’t eat anything, but this is great .
FLOTUS is so nice and down to earth. She’s real.
Just to sit down and talk to her would be great.
Okay, I’m trying to find this box thing.
Okay, here’s how to get the new fangled stuff.
You need an account with WordPress. For those of you with gravatars, you already have this account which I figure you automatically got when you signed up or gravatars. All you need to do is…..
1. Go to wordpress.com
2.Here there are two options:
a) there’s a skinny little section at the top of the page under the address bar that asks for your username or email address and password. For those with gravatars, just used the email address and password associated with your gravatars account. This should sign you in and then you are taken to Dashbord. On that screen may be one or two columns. The one on the left will have a list of Hot Topics or whatever it’s called. In that box are three tabs hit the one that says ‘Top Blogs’ skim thru the list and you’ll find TOD. It’s a short list so you’ll find it quickly. The screen will take you to TOD and under the address bar you’ll see your gravatars and all that good stuff.
b) for those without a gravatars account, got to WordPress.com, on the left hand side, you’ll see a huge orange button that says: ‘Get Started Here’———-> click.
——-you’ll see a page come up that says:’GetYour own WordPress.com account in seconds’
——- on the right hand side, beside the first box on the left that says:Blog Address, you will see in blue hyperlink: ‘sign up for just a username’
—— it takes you to another page where you enter your username( the one you already use, regardless of what it says about the number of characters it used).
——–it’ll ask you for a password and then it will ask for confirmation and it will ask for you email address. Use the one that you use to sign on to this site. after that, it should take you to Dashboard. From there, follow instructions from part 2a.
Good luck!!
So I cut out the middle man, for people with and without gravatars, you can start here.
People with gravatars, if you decide to enter your info in the big boxes in the body of the HTML page, keep in mind that if you enter your Username like ‘Liberal Librarian’ you may Get a response like (((this name is already in use.)))) it ill further prompt you by asking if this name that’s already in use is you. If you have a gravatars account, chances are its you, so then it’ll ask for your password. Use the one that you generated for your gravatars account. It’s easy peasy 😉
https://en.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
I did it. I am always very proud of myself when I overcome a technical challenge. I signed in using WordPress. Now I have my picture and name in the box Thank you to everyone who explained this. 😀
Good for you, Sabreen!! Way to go! 🙂
Yeah, I saw that I had a response to my comment and here you are 😀
WordPress explains the new blog notification feature:
A few months ago we added Notifications to the WordPress.com Toolbar and recently we released a Chrome extension so that you can always keep up with the activity on your blog. Today we’re adding comment notifications, complete with comment moderation and reply functionality. When your post receives a comment, you’ll get a Notification that looks something like this:

I think this is cool!
Now, what’s that thing they’re always accusing the Democrats of?…..

Projection much? nah!
Chips, this is Mary Jones. I opened a wordpress account in order to see the little box and now all my comments are going into moderation. I had to use a different username there because maryjones was already taken, but I am the same person. Can you help me out?
Sorry Mary, I only got back to my computer now and saw you stranded in pending – you’re freed!
good night chips and toddies!
and a pleasant tomorrow.
Dedicated to Chips, and all the wonderful TODers, especially to those across the “pond” who’re probably sleep deprived the last couple of days:

Uggh! Tried to put video. In case I don’t get it in this time, it’s Jimmy Cliff, I can See Clearly Now:

Ladyjazz, sorry I didn’t respond to you earlier this weekend, went off the grid. So glad to hear Jimmy is still kicking it, and at the O2! Bless!

A major freak out is occurring on the right as a new poll released by a Republican polling company has found that 20% of Republicans are more likely to vote for Obama.
The poll done by Republican polling firm Wenzel Strategies for World Net Daily found something similar to my own recent analysis of state polling data that the 2012 election is beginning to look like a replay of 2008. The Wenzel/WND poll turned up the surprising statistic that no matter who the Republican nominee is, one fifth of the Republican voters surveyed are leaning towards voting for President Obama.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/republicans-support-obama
I honestly think there are some Republicans out there who do not like what their party have become, they have gone to far to the right, they have become too radical and they won’t admit it to their family or friends I believe some will vote for the man who has shown his self to be the adult in the room. That’s our President Obama. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
And the first thing that leaps into the Republican mind at these results–we’re not conservative enough. Let’s go deeper and deeper into crazy land and the we’ll be sure to win those Republicans back. The current version of the Republican party is incapable of self-analysis.
Sweet old Mitt, he will say, do, even wear anything to get elected. Whatever he hink they want to hear. Let’s just pray he doesn’t get a dog like Bo next.
Whatever he think they want to hear.
Did anyone notice that Ricky Sweater Vest’s benefactor also wears a Sweater Vest ? Also Mr Fries told a joke at CPAC yesterday.

Well, if the GOP nominates a despicable, lying misogynist worm like Santorum they are officially dead. There are no names ugly enough for describe my contempt for this piece of creepy humanity.
Please GOP nominate Santorum……..please,please,please, mr. sweater vest get your nomination….
That’s the reaction that Santorum elicits from “sane” people.

GM hf. ME is today ?
Yes, but notice the media is hardly talking about it. I wonder why. They are more focused on CPAC.
A shellacking there too for mitt ?
Wow, can that Party say “I really don’t like you” any clearer. I never thought that I would live to see a brokered convention but folks we might just be headed for one with these Clowns.
I really liked these Liberty Voices on WH.gov/live right now. I also liked the Orlando aerial performers. Those girls had only the ground to catch them—great athletes!

Contrary to claims that government benefit programs are creating a dependent class of Americans who are losing the desire to work and would rather collect government benefits than find a job, a major report we issued today finds that these programs’ benefits go overwhelmingly to people who are elderly, disabled, or members of working households.
