Friend –
You signed up to watch the premiere of the new documentary The Road We’ve Traveled, which will take you inside President Obama’s first term.
Tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, click this link to our YouTube page to start watching.
The President made some tough calls to bring our country back from the brink — and this film, directed by Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim, captures it perfectly.
Over the next few months, we’ve got to make sure as many people as possible see this film — because when they do, they’ll come away knowing just how much is riding on the outcome this November. This film is going to be a great way to get them involved now.
So click here tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time to get your first look.
Right after the film, senior strategist David Axelrod will be answering questions. You can submit yours on Twitter using this hashtag: #RoadTraveled.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Jeremy Bird

The Obama Diary 
Me?
George Clooney speaks to the media as Co-founder of Enough Project John Prendergast listens March 15, 2012 at the White House in Washington, DC. Clooney and Prendergast had a meeting with President Barack Obama to discuss the current situations in Darfur, Sudan.
Winner!!!!!
Yum!!!
😀 😀 😀
I thought you’d approve 😆
Much like Mr. Clooney, I’m embracing my burgeoning grey hairs. I earned every last one of them.
Grey is smokin HAWT.
MINE!!!! MINE!!!!! MINE!!!!! All MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come to mama Georgie boy. YOWZA!
Hi UTAL! This thought just occurred to me: Isn’t Georgie boy old enough to be your father?
Actually George is older than my dad. And thank you for temporarily killing my buzz…..ewwwwwww.
Fine man is FINE, doesn’t matter older or younger.
We-e-lll, that may be true, Tally, but my mind would expect a different reaction depending on older or younger in relation to one’s own age. That ‘Yowza’ reaction UTAL gave just had my eyes opening up, is all. 😉
Sorry, party pooper that I am! But knowing you, you’ll bounce back soon. 😉
Nice suite, George. The cut of a man’s suit will let you know if he works out. Nice, very nice.
Yes Indeedy, Lorraine 🙂
I am!
I will!
You darned East Coasters! I’ll have to watch the movie when I get home, a full HOUR after the rest of you.
Doing my best Nelson from the Simpsons laugh: HA! HA!
I’ll be watching for sure!
Damn. I coulda been first if WordPress hadn’t jacked me around
Oh no Yardarm, you’re having trouble too? ** scream **
I have to do it the way a4alice does by hitting the like arrow and signing in that way. Could it be the enemy?
Yeahhhhhhhhhh, and me too 🙂 Dang!! 😦
I will be home too late. I am so so so sad about that. 😦
Yes, I will be watching tonight. We are having 4 house parties in 4 different cities. After that it’s home to tweet, tweet, tweet. Let the message be heard everywhere!
Wow, what an overachiever! Thank you for all you are doing, and for being so inspiring. Woot!

Heck Yes I’m IN. I’ll be tweeting about the movie all day and night. Also going to post the link on Facebook. Everyone has to see this!
I think we’re going to be blown away. SIGH.
I’m all in! Off to catch up on all the posts and comments that I missed earlier in the day!
\o/
Are you having a spastic attack? 😆
This is going to be great.
Oh man, I will miss it at 8! I recently joined our town’s Democratic committee and I have to attend a meeting that starts at 7:30. Boo-hoo.
Maybe you can talk them into watching it with you with a little restructuring 😉 – 1/2 hour warm-up (minutes, etc), WATCH VERY PERTINENT video 20-30 minutes, then a feel good backslapping session before continuing with rest of meeting. Would probably be their most productive meeting in a while. You never know L & L, there might already be others there who didn’t want to miss this ‘premiere’! 😉
Weird. I hit the wrong button and used the Twitter account. Hope this one works.
Republican Rep. To Propose Surtax On Millionaires

100% concentration on the league now! 😕
City are 3-0 down on aggregate as we speak …. a fab night for Manchester in Europe. 😳
I was fully expecting City and United to do a Juventus in the Europa league. Just goes to show that on any given match day anyone can win.
Whatever about City, United just came up against a better team – Athletic Bilbao were a little bit magnificent in the first leg.
Adelante vascos!
(I say this because my last name is Basque.)
Really LL?? Cool!
Do you dress like this going to work every day?
🙂
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe!
Be nice if the GALAXY could, I don’t know……. WIN A GAME??? 😕
Here’s to Sunday.
Chips why are you playing the Romney route…….excuses….excuses….excuses. Man U lost. Period. Full Stop. End of story. Your -very sucky -team lost. 😆
Tweety has Ditch Daniels on his show. 🙄 sounded excited as he prepped the segment before the break. what an ass. 🙄
Will have my popcorn ready. Enjoy the movie, TOD.
So Chipsticks…what am I? Chopped Liver?????
I was FIRST on the last thread and I got…….butkus!!!!
Anyway – I’ll be tuning in tonight with a few hundred of my new BFF’s at the Grand Opening of the LA OFA Office 🙂
So sorry GGail, I’ve been all over the place today!!!
Chips is weeping into a plate of “cheesy grits” a la Romney style GGail. Her lame lame lame team Man U got their asses handed to them. So please excuse her tardiness.
*Screams!!!!* but still chants “you got beeeeat…you got beeeeeat….you got beat.” We won our game a few days or so ago. You lost. Bottom line. Period. End of story. You need another bowl of “cheesy grits” Chips?
In my Nelson voice from the Simpsons: HA! HA!
😆
Hahahahahahahah 😆 The fish really does look angry. Ahhhhh….Chips I heart you. You have a wonderful sense of humor.
I need to have one with you rubbishing my beloved Glory Glory Man Utd!
What a cute orange and white knitted baby cap – that baby would look cute if she weren’t so angry! Must be hungry.
LOL! VcPrez, We see things very differently when it comes to fish, apparently. Because I was thinking that this fish looks like Santorum’s drunk, angry uncle.
Brutal, totally brutal ut 😀 😀
Ms Chips is gonna be on your case like butter on grits 😀 😀
Sorta like the trashing the President laid on the Party of Koch & Norquist this morning at PG Community College – and that audience was way alive and really dug it!!
#PRESSON
Note to self: Okay, gotta make sure I don’t miss the PG Community College video. Thanks Bobfr.
GGail, you MUST report back and let us know who it went!!
Love this:
LOL! And I’m sure some Repub voters in the backwoods really think it works that way.
Sexi Richard Wolfe is going to be on Rev Al – tonight. Just a heads up.
Hubba Hubba! My brain will definitely be tingling as well as……..
EEEEEEEEEE Thank you! 🙂
I’ll be watching and entering comment after comment about why I support President Obama (after entering to win dinner)!
Here is my latest (of 5):
This is another reason I support President Obama (from the StonekettleStation blog):
posted by Jim Wright on March 5th:
Here’s the bottom line, folks: What it comes down to is this, Rush Limbaugh attacked a young woman for exercising her right to address Congress. A lot of people in positions of power on both the left and the right condemned Limbaugh for his thuggish tactics, some more strenuously and sincerely than others, but in the final accounting only one American leader stepped forward to offer support and defense to the victim. It wasn’t a Senator or a Representative. It wasn’t those CEOs and business leaders. It wasn’t those four sorry bastards seeking the White House.
And it sure as bloody hell wasn’t any hypocritical Christian leader or prominent clergyman.
No, when the mob gathered to watch and jeer while a bully beat up the weak and helpless, it was the President of the United States who stepped forward.
It was Barack Obama who called Sandra Fluke personally and offered his support.
And that, right there, says everything you need to know.
Wow! Leaves you speechless, when worded that way.
Cindy, I have enormous respect for Jim Wright. He is an exceptional patriot, writer & craftsman.
Here’s a little boost for your dinner bid 🙂
#PRESSON
I’m in! I just hate that I have to wait until I get home since I’ll still be at work here on the West Coast. I would love to see it at the same time all of you will be viewing and then come here to comment.
I plan to watch tonight. Looking forward to it.
Sublime!
Yes It Is! 🙂
YAY!
Toodles TODdles!!! Just dropping by to mention what another great getting up day in TODdytown! What a tool that Missed Daniels is. So this is the guy the GNOPers were pining for? Oh well, doesn’t look like much of a bench to me.
TESTING!!!
WORKING!!!! 😆
What a misery! I think WordPress mated with Discus & have produced devil spawn! All my so very brilliant comments went into the ether. I am giving up. Have a good one folks!
That’s exactly what I was thinking! It’s such a glitchy migration, they couldn’t have thought this through at all.
Hey guys you know the KONY 2012 campaign that has been going viral on Twitter, Facebook, and worldwide to bring a universal spotlight on LRA and war criminal Joseph Kony of Uganda. Well PBO and George Clooney had a discussion about Kony today in the white house in addition to their discussions about the situation in Sudan and South Sudan and PBO mentioned to George that like so many parents all over the world, he found out about the KONY 2012 movement from his daughter Malia. Looks like we’ve got some young activists in the white house. Like parents, like children. 🙂
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/president-obama-first-heard-about-kony-video-from-daughter-malia/
I don’t like it when people in his administration leak/tell stuff to the press about the children. It’s just super creepy to me. But I could imagine that’s where he heard it from.
Well in this case I think it’s a appropriate because it’s not so much about Malia as it’s about the cause which is being publicly discussed at the moment.
I don’t mind stories like this which make clear that Malia is a compassionate, caring, aware daughter.
Agreed dotster 🙂
I like the stories but if anyone is going to talk about the Obama girls I only want it to be their family members (mom, dad, grandma, auntie, uncle). I remember when Michelle was saying she need a thick manual to raise Sasha. That was funny but in this case it’s not ribbing or anything personal so it’s not that big of a deal.
You talk about the Obama girls too on TOD so that logic doesn’t fly.
Hmmm good point.
I adore Malia. She seems to have a deep passion and intellectual curiosity instilled by her parents, along with a terrific sweetness and sense of compassion. XOXO.
No wonder they call her “The Oracle” in the family circle. She seems to be very aware of her environment and tuned in to world/current affairs.
Exceptional, UT!
#PRESSON
that is so cool, as my own 12 yr old son is the one who showed me the video too 🙂
My husband and I and ~ 300 others will be watching in Portland at the Mission Theater!! As an NTL, I have to tell my personal story about my son having a heart attack his freshman year of college and how the ACA helps people like him with pre-existing conditions have access to health care and no lifetime caps on insurance payouts. Please wish me luck.
Oh, Judith, that’s amazing. Thank you for being an NTL and for inspiring others to join or campaign. Best of health to your son.
Good luck! and Thank you!
X2
IMO the personal touch is always more impactful. Thanks, and best wishes your son continues to make good progress.
Claire asked me to post this from last night: Stepping-on-the-dress-gate!
I so had to LOL! Stepping on the dress is never allowed. Hubby did that to the hem edge of my wedding dress & left a mark the cleaners couldn’t get out but one of my nieces wore it for her own wedding anyway because she loved my dress and it fit her perfectly.
oooooooh……bad move. But not to worry all he has to do is flash that Colgate smile and all will be forgiven.
He did a funny about it during his toast 🙂
#PRESSON
I remember when he kept doing that at the inauguration. I was getting so fustrated and it wasn’t even my dress.
LOL! I remember that too but he just likes to be close to her so I’m sure she forgives him. I would.
I thought his efforts to avoid stepping on such a long, swingy (fashion term) dress were heroic!
Go easy on the guy!! He’d just been inaugurated President of the Unites States!!
Of all the beautiful dresses Michelle has worn I like the Inaugural dress the least of all.
Her face is priceless. “Man stepping on dress is in the DNA.” Can’t be helped, poor creatures….. which is why we LOVE THEM. 😀
Oh honey there you go again, but that’s okay, I love you anyway. My next dress will not be so long that you can step on it. But I love you anyway.
OK, I figured it all out. I was capitalizing the first letter of my sign in handle which I usually do & WP doesn’t allow that & kept telling me another person had my account. Case sensitive, I got that now but FU WordPress!!!
WOW – what a multiplier effect your team will have for GOTV!
LOVE IT!!
Giving Mitt Romney a warm welcome to the Illinois primary, the former White House chief of staff-turned-Chicago mayor went after him at a fundraising event:
You just take a look at the fortitude, the strength, the determination and the vision the president made on the auto industry, and juxtapose it to Mitt Romney, who doesn’t have the fortitude, the strength or the character, in my view, to stand up to Rush Limbaugh.
The Sun-Times adds this line: “If you can’t stand up to Rush, how are you gonna stand up to Russia?”
It’s a slightly more pointed version of what the Obama campaign has been saying on its own — actually dropping the word “character” in there seems like something of an escalation. Emanuel also referred to some of Bill Maher’s comments about women as “disgusting,” per the Sun-Times.
Oh man, we are so going to start using that line: “If you can’t stand up to Rush, how are you gonna stand up to Russia?” Indeed!!!!
I love President Obama because he is what I voted for, years from now after all the books have been written about Barack Obama, I will proudly be able to say I voted for him.
We’ll be watching here in IL at our Congressional Candidate’s office. If the primary vote goes as well for us on Tues as we expect, then we are in great shape to take down a very long-term Repub in November, in spite of all the Chamber and Rove money that will come blasting in. Redistricting can be our friend! By the way, Chips, loved the First Dog post so much that I just ordered the “I Bark for Barack” Bo Car Magnet from OFA for a friend’s birthday.
Now, I’m going to add my 2 pesos you all missed last night. (lucky you)
FLOTUS looked spectacular as usual. I didn’t like Samantha Cameron’s dress. I thought she looked dowdy for such a pretty young woman. If I had designed the dress I would have removed those awful sleeves & that belt. If she wanted a belt I would have made it metallic with some sparkle. I did love her shoes & I totally lust after all of Michelle’s shoes. If only I were young again and could still wear heels without falling on my ass!
As for the TOD crew, I hope some of you are hydrating today. After all the drooling, you must be totally parched, lol.
Right on with the drooling ag. It was something to behold. My pc makes a tone every time I get a new message. At one point I had a steady tone coming from my speakers. Some were on FIYAH! 😆
Me! Me! I’m tuning in, (if I don’t fall asleep before 8pm. My head feels tired). I’m late arriving today, and I notice in the side bar that I have FIVE posts to read! ‘Lord, please don’t let them be long ones. Please. Last night’s State Dinner bonanza energized as well as sapped my energy.’
Good afternoon Chips and TODville! 😆 Trusting your day has been going well. Hoping that you guys remembered to send positive vibes HZ’s way as today was a procedure day for her. Off I go to see what you have all been up to!
{{{{{{{{HZ}}}}}}}}
We love you and miss you, HZ.
I second that!!!!!! Prayers for you HZ and hugs..
I third that, thinking of you HZ, come back to us soon, hale and hearty.
PBO stops for BBQ takeout.
The sweetness just pours out of this man. I think he really loves just roaming around and mingling.

CEB, I’m still able to get it (when I click through to YouTube), try again.
Time out for a little risque’ humor.
The Funniest Staff Meeting Ever!
The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one pretty sharp boss!) When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans. The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.
About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List.. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! The top 10 were:
10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!
9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.
8. Viagra, like a rock !
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
6. Viagra , Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!
2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!
And the unanimous number one slogan:
1. This is your peepee… This is your peepee on drugs 😀
😆 You’re a disgrace Yardarm! (I loved ‘Home of the whopper’!)
Glad I’m meeting expectations(i think).
You never fail!!!
Dang, mate, that is some funny & creative stuff 😀 😀 😀
#PRESSON (Yes We Can … on Viagra 🙂 )
Thanks. I got a ton of stuff like that in my garbage keeper folder. I’ll trot one out from time to time when things get too intense.
Hahahahahahahaha…. I heart you big time Sir. Your sense of humor is always fine by me. Keep ’em coming. 😆 😆 😆
p.s. May I share it on Twitter?
Yardarm! You crack me up so much! I’m married to a Navy man & I think you all have the best sense of humor ever. I’ve been laughing with Hubby for 40+ years. I just read him your post & he spewed his afternoon cerveza.
‘s that so? Tell that swab jockey to get a grip or he’s just volunteered for the next working party to haul small stores. 🙂
I can’t do that! He’s been working since early this morning digging compost into our garden & caring for our fruit trees which helps feed a lot of the family with some to spare for the hungry out there. He deserves his cerveza! He really did enjoy your joke & wants me to tell you this:
He’s a lot stronger now than he was as a boy. Then, it took both hands to keep from peeing up the wall. Now, it only takes one finger to keep from peeing on his shoe.
He thought you would get an lol from this.
Oooooo that’s a hoot! Best laugh I’ve had all day. I’m glad I haven’t done spirits call yet. :-lol: 😆 Tell him I know the feeling since I perceive that we’re in the same age bracket.
That is priceless. Thank you, Yardarm.

1. This is your peepee… This is your peepee on drugs – covered by EVERY INSURANCE CARRIER NATIONWIDE since it’s debut.

Love it, PBO 54-42 up on Willard! Thanks Jovie.
Notice there has been ZERO mention of the pew poll on Tweety, Morning Joke or anywhere else besides the intertubes.
But it must be unreliable Hopefruit, PBO’s figures couldn’t possibly be that good. Right?
Tweety & Co must be busy analyzing the cross tabs to see if Pew overpolled Blacks and Dems….
Seriously. this sexy beast should run for president. I don’t care how many girls he’s _______ and how many drugs he’s done. Other presidents have done worse.
Agreed.
And no one would be whining about wanting him to get ANGRIER.
Nailed it.
I see Willard is up to his usual stalking of PBO. You know how PBO does the Dinner with Barack or Dinner with Barack and Michelle? Well Mitt has his own version. Donate $5 and grab a bite with Mitt. He says he’s doing it so that people will stop saying he has a problem connecting with people. So far…..no takers. Oooops.
ha! just posted that downthread, UT. It would have posted sooner, but wordpress decided to be a bitch.
OH MY F-ING GOSH!!!!!!! Rev Al said that today Willard’s people launched a new fundraising thing called “Grab a bite with Mitt” a clear rip off of “Dinner with PBO”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {{{{{{{MUTHAFRACKEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!}}}}}}}}}}
ps- fuck you, wordpress.
Are you freaking kidding? Wait a minute, let me repeat that, are you freaking kidding? Are you freaking kidding?
I shit you not, annie. I shit you not.
Oh.My.Goodness.
Romney’s campaign must have gotten their hands on a copy of “Obama 101” And they must be reading and memorizing each chapter…SHEESH.
Don’t you love it? As far as Mitt Romney is concerned, President Obama is a disaster. But in the meantime Mitt is copying everything President Obama does. They are trying to do exactly what he did in the 2008 campaign with the focus on delegates. He tries to sing. He holds babies like they are a sack of potatoes. He is copying the dinner idea. I am waiting for him to copy the film. I bet they are working on Mitt’s film as we speak. Bottom line, there is nothing creative or original coming from the Romney team.
You got to love it. Barack Obama is so terrible, yet I want to copy what he does. It was the same thing with John McCain in 2008. What candidates like Mitt Romney don’t get is that it isn’t just the campaign, its the candidate. When people genuinely like you, I mean generally LIKE you, they gravitate to you. FDR,JFK, even Ronald Reagan had that likeability factor. They would enjoy your company at dinner. As you can see, Mitt Romney looks as though he is just pissing those people off. Like he’s a nuisance and they would really enjoy their dinner more if he left. You don’t see anyone going to Mitt and giving him a hug or just throwing up camera phones and getting him to take a photo with him. He doesn’t seem like he’s approachable. Barack Obama will wipe the floor with these guys because of that.
“Grab a bite with Mitt” Are dogs invited?….they could then call it “Grab a bite OF Mitt”
I would pay for a chance to see that but the money would have to go to animal rescue.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That’s funny aquagranny. Yes, I would definitely love to see a dog “grab a bite OF Mitt.” I’m going to tweet this for sure!!
Hahahaha….So tweeting this.

Good evening, TOD! Can’t wait for the show tonight!
I’ll get this out of the way, so I don’t have Santorum in my brain later this evening, but so far – have ya noticed – I see he’s going to outlaw three new things in our country, if (ha ha ha ha ha) he ever gets to be president (like when all the other 300M die off):
1. Contraception (we knew that)
2. Speaking Spanish in Puerto Rico (funny how other countries think it’s cosmopolitan and sexy to know more than one language)
3. I actually heard him quoted today as saying “They should outlaw teleprompters” (BFD to worry about, Ricky)
Maybe he didn’t play sheriff enough when he was a boy, and now wants to get all these new laws in place!
Okay, I’ve washed my brain of that yokel, and I can’t wait to see the President tonight. Might even eat chocolate, while I’m watching it.
So much for his Smaller Government meme.
AH so, no more Spanish speaking in Puerto Rico. I suppose Mexico will be next & then THE WORLD!
FIG YOU RICK SANTORUM!!! FIG YOU right back to what ever hell that spawned your sorry disgusting, creepy, slime sucking a$$.
Dumbo GOP: Wake Up! If you think any Latino with 2 pesos worth of brains might actually vote for one of your disgusting candidates, you will have a rude surprise in November. It is too late now! We are not ready to “MAKE NICE” no matter what you try in the next 8 months.
EAT THE BIG CACTUS & CHOKE ON THE SPINES!!!
that is all……..
That man is loco.
Why ag. I had no idea you felt that way!
Glad I’m on your side! Your retort to Ricky was GREAT! I’m still laughing (well, through my tears, because he’s everything you said he and the others are).
Hey hey now!!!!! Didn’t know Melanie was an Obot!!!— Nice!!!! 😀
She and her husband Antonio Banderas have hosted top dollar fundraisers with POTUS at their home. They also serve our kool-aid.
I for one welcome our thespian overlords.
LOL!!!!!!!!
I’m a slave to the bright lights.
HUGH SIGH!!! Antonio Banderas is on my “bucket list” If I could just dance the Tango one time with him I would expire a happy woman! I like Melanie too but I am not sure she deserves such a man…..OK….I’m drooling….will stop now.
Randi Rhodes played the trailer at the end of her show today and encouraged everyone to go to her homework section for the link to watch it. She also told everyone to tweet and spread it. She is such an advocate for PBO’s policies. She also linked the accomplishments from TPM and asked for their permission to put her logo and their log on it so that she could have her listeners print it out. She said that it folds to the size of a credit card. I hd one caller say that she had passed out several.
HA! HA-HA! HA! There are two certain things in life: Karma is a bitch and then you die.—- In Willard’s case: Karma is a bitch and then you get bitch slapped into obscurity! Hopefully soon.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha….thanks so much for your humor Lisa. It’s real and never too salty for me. That quote about Karma is one of my favorites because it’s blunt and straight to the point.
Cannot wait to join everyone tonight to watch and blog.
Bloomberg poll on rev AL’s show says 66% of Americans blame Oil companies for Pressure at the Pump and only 23% blame PBO…….. not bad. The issue isn’t who is to blame though, it’s Americans thinking that there is a quick solution that the president can engage in to solve pressure at the pump i.e.: more drilling which is pure. bull. shit.
I saw that on Rev Al’s show. Michael Steele was on Tweety’s show and said that the polls were against PBO on the gas issue, and that is the reason that He and VP Joe are hitting the campaign trail early. I laughed out loud. I am sooooo happy that VP Joe is out there calling names. 🙂
Michael Steele,,the Uncle Tom..the Steppin’ Fetcfh it..the boy Massa loves… Stupid fool.
whiny crybaby…..
There is also one at Perry’s home….
Ca-Ching!!!!!!
The new GOP campaign slogan: “Corporations are persons, women are not!”
The new GOP bumper sticker: http://ow.ly/9FJBR
Ok, Deaniac has a new post up. If you guys aren’t riled up enough, read this: GOP to women: Just close your eyes while we stick the government up your vagina.
But, you know, teach Obama a lesson!
Seriously guys. I just discovered a little show on ABC called GCB ( originally meaning Good Christian *itches, but now modified to Good Christian Belles). It’s about this Texan born woman who moved to Cali with her HS boyfriend who made it big. They get married and live the life, have two kids, then he cheats on her with her bestfriend and dies in a fiery crash because said bestfriend was doing something she shouldn’t have been doing to the husband who was driving a car. So the protagonist is broke and has to move back to Texas to live in her old rich community in her mother’s house with her two children. When the protagonist was younger she was mean to 4 girls and now those four girls have formed a coalition, centered around their hatred of the protagonist. They go to church every sunday and can quote scripture like nobody’s business and two of the girls even sing on the choir. They are mean spirited and fake, even lied and stolen and use Christianity as an excuse for bad behavior. Apparently, FAUX News went on a rant about GCB which first aired on March 4, I guess cause they saw themselves being called out for flagrant hypocrisy. How can you talk about loving God but pull the shit that you do? I love this show. I find it hilarious because it’s not bashing religion, but the people who don’t understand religion but use it as a sledge hammer against other people. I’m surprised ABC had the guts to put this on the air. I’m also surprised the Christian Coalition aka repug party extension, hasn’t been boycotting ABC. Could it be that they are oblivious to the shows meaning? They don’t get that they are being mocked? Never thought that they were so thick. 🙄
I watch that show also Lisa and I 100% concur with your statement. They’re not mocking Christianity, they’re mocking faux Christians and Bible thumpers who use religion to justify their underhanded dealings. It’s a satire and a look at the under belly of society. It’s also quite hilarious.
As Gandhi said “I Like Your Christ. I Do Not Like Your Christians. Your Christians Are So Unlike Your Christ.”
I’m in the middle of watching the second episode on hulu. It’s really good. Can’t wait till sunday night.
Yes, I love it. Especially after seeing my 4 year old love when I watched Boomerang Robin Givens in it. Yep, thats the reason Fox News had a bitchfit over it. It tells of people like Newt and Rick who are as, like Marvin Winans at Whitney Houston’s homegoing said, “Christians Behaving Badly”
https://twitter.com/#!/___Chips___/status/180432156315754496
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That’s the expression I would have if I were in her shoes. Are you sure she doesn’t have a lil’ pet doggie dog growling and yapping at Romney’s heels under table?
I only found that photo an hour ago Hopefruit, cracked me up!!!!
body language says it all.
True Lisa!
She’s putting the English on that cup of coffee.

Really Cathy?? Ugh, this gets weirder. Thankfully they’re getting angry about this on the WordPress support forum, so I’m clinging to the hope that they’ll reverse this silliness! Thanks Cathy.
In case anyone was having trouble seeing that CBS video earlier:
The Department of Health and Human Services announced on Thursday that it will cut off all Medicaid funding for family planning to the state of Texas, following Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) decision to implement a new law that excludes Planned Parenthood from the state’s Medicaid Women’s Health Program.
Cindy Mann, director of the Center for Medicaid and State Operations (CMSO), wrote Texas health officials a letter on Thursday explaining that the state broke federal Medicaid rules by discriminating against qualified family planning providers and thus would be losing the entire program, which provides cancer screenings, contraceptives and basic health care to 130,000 low-income women each year.
“We very much regret the state’s decision to implement this rule, which will prevent women enrolled in the program from receiving services from the trusted health care providers they have chosen and relied upon for their care,” she wrote. “In light of Texas’ actions, CMS is not in a position to extend or renew the current [Medicaid contract].”
The federal government pays for nearly 90 percent of Texas’ $40 billion Women’s Health Program, and nearly half of the program’s providers in Texas are Planned Parenthood clinics. But the new law that went into effect earlier this month disqualified Planned Parenthood from participating in the program because some of its clinics provide abortions, even though no state or federal money can be used to pay for those abortions.
According to Medicaid law, Mann said, a state cannot restrict women’s ability to choose a provider simply because that provider offers separate services — in this case, abortion — that aren’t even paid for by the Medicaid program.
Grab a bite with Mitt, I’ll take some chessy grits and a hot dog on top.
I’ll have some cold cereal.
Annie, if dogs are allowed we could call it “GRAB A BITE OF MITT” I bet we could raise tons of cash for animal rescue. I know I would donate for that!

Nice going, Mitt. Not that you have any problem with Latino voters or nothin’…
Is it the Repub goal to shun/scare away every last Hispanic/Latino vote? Mitt & Co. have that entire population running away from them as fast as they can. The Repub candidates are all dumb as rocks. They’re not even trying. And President Obama says “gracias”.
Let’s see. In the news today..Romney re Sotomayor,,, Santorium re Puerto Rico. Both men do not want the Hispanic vote.

Needing some help here: Tonight I read about a tv show on ABC – something to do with ‘Golden Belles’ or “Gold Plated Belles” – about a young woman who moves away from Texas and moves back as a single mom who is then targeted by some ‘mean girls’ in her town. I wanted to look for it, and now I can’t remember the title clearly enough to get a hit on a search. I wish I had more than two or three memory brain cells left. Anyone here know what I’m talking about?
