The Obama Diary 
Hi!
Congrats on being #1 on this St. Patrick’s Day!
This is tooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!
Let’s just all work hard and be happy, huh???
xoxo Here’s to O’Bama, Ollie, Henry,
and all the rest of us. xoxo
Yay fir nin!
I’m so thrilled they’re having some good time together!! Erin go bragh!!
I can just imagine! I’m glad they’re having so much fun – I wish them a great vacation in America!
Freaking awesome! Henry the Eighth.
No enthusiasm eh? I wonder if I’ll ever see proof of that!
I probably would wet my pants lmao! Ok probably not, but I would be in another world.
How much fun is that?!?!?!?
PBO loooves to get his drink on — I hope he has a blast today.
LOL!! PBO SO DOES! lol..
oh i bet he’s having a great time!
Very cool! Just checking in and saw this great happening! Welcome! and Happy St. Pat’s Day!
So amazingly cool that Henry the 8th and Ollie came to DC and had a pint with PBO!!! Welcome to the States and thank you for all your positive support for PBO!! Happy St Patrick’s Day and hugs to all wearing the green pride!!! Love the Ireland video that Chips reposted today! AOK
Happy St Pats Day all! Nice to see Potus spending time with Henry and Ollie.
Do I know who Henry Healy is?
Henry is 8th cousin to President Obama. His mother’s family have ancestors to trace back to Moneygall, where Henry lives.
He’s PBO’s 8th cousin from Moneygall Ireland, better known as “Henry the Eighth!” Henry was a big part of PBO and FLOTUS’s visit to Ireland last May.
He’s the President’s cousin.
Oh Pamela you must have missed our trip to Moneygall last year.
I missed it indeed, gpbrooklyn, but as Irish as I am in blood (great grandfather Eugene O’Sullivan 1850), I did watch the video Chips posts here over and over and over and over and over! Thank you everyone, for bringing me back into the picture!
GB, I love your reference to ‘OUR trip to Moneygall’, because like you I really feel like I travel WITH the Obamas whenever Chips Chica does her Chips-Obama Travel Tours. We here at TODville are soooo blessed! Reminiscing on our various trips is awesome, and being able to re-view the videos is even awesome-r! 😆 😆
I haven’t said it lately, but AWESOME THANKS, CC!! I’ll save an Inauguration hug for you. (a sudden rediscovery of the word ‘awesome’)
“Chips-Obama Travel Tours”
You’re a hooooooooooooooooooooooooooot VC!!! 😆 😆 😆 😆
All my pleasure VC, you’re a rather excellent travel companion 😉
Thanks. Got to behave myself as I don’t want to be escorted off the bus/plane/train whatever. 😉
Too cute!
woo hooo! What a great photo to come home to after a day spurring the economy of Boston! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!
xox..!!
L.O.V.E the Presidential fleece! Nice!

I was reading one of my fitness magazines and they had a push up exercise that could “Obamafy your arms” – their words not mine. Made me proud. Her arms are killer.
oh that’s fun that’s a lot of pictures very detailed. descriptions. I bet the things she wears sell out quickly!
Hey Chips and TOD. Joan aka our very own Joan Katherine Shaw from Utah needs our thoughts and prayers as her husband has suffered a cardiac episode. She left a comment at the beginning of the “Rise and (St. Patrick’s Day) Shine” thread. So please everyone leave her a comment. Thanks.
Joan, praying for your husband, you and your family.
Praying for Joan. Lord please help her in her time of need.
Left a message on the last thread but can’t say it enough …
Joan, i am praying for your hubby and your family. Praying for strength and healing!
I left a message on the last thread too, but the more positive energy flowing to Joan & Hubby, the better. My heart to his for healing.
Sending healing vibes ((((((((((Joan and Joan’s hubby)))))))))
Thank you for letting us know. Will keep them in my thoughts and prayers!
Prayers for Joan and her Husband!! Hope her husband gets better soon.
Oh no! Absolutely! Putting in a Good Word for you and your husband right now.
Joan I send your husband a prayer of healing. Stay strong and know that all of your TOD’s family sends you the best of wishes to get thru this.
Thank you UT for letting us know about Joan — Joan blessings and prayers for your husband’s speedy recovery.
Prayers to you and your husband.

More pics!
http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/obama-knocks-back-a-guinness-on-st-paddys-day
That was great until the pic of Santorum.
That’s ok. . . what was the difference will all those photos. . . Sick Rick was all by his lonesome! (Wellllllllllll, not as many supporters as our President!) 🙂
I should have warned you guys about that 🙂
LOL 😀
I was so startled by Saint Rectum’s pic that I burped. Hm. At least he’s good for something.
Ps- thanks for the pics, CT! 🙂
🙂
Love you Lisa. You make me laugh which is so good for my soul. I love laughter!!!HZ
Poor little Ricky, all by his lonesome while PBO was surrounded by new family and friends and rowdy well-wishers. he he he!
Hey it’s great cousin Henry VIII is in town. Lovely!!! Cousin Henry did say in a tweet recently he was going to America. Apparently he’s been in touch with the WH. sweet. Family bonding
Such fun. I’m ginning from ear to ear. Henry VIII must be in high heaven today
I’m guessing it was a surprise visit to the pub? If so, what a thrill for the revelers!
Chips, thanks for being so quick with the videos!!!!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
X200!
I wonder if Mittens is dressed as a leprechaun today to pander for the Irish vote in Chicago?
Actually, he’s in Puerto-Rico pandering for their delegates tomorrow.
Oh dear!!!! He can’t even be in the right city on the right day!!!! Poor planning.
DAMN!!! That’s some excitement our President generates!!! Never quite seen anything like this – but I’ll take it! 🙂
I’m in the mood for some Irish icecream…
Or an Irish coffee!
Woot! Chips, there’s no one else like you. Thank you, babe! 🙂
That baby was too cute. Got distracted by all the people and all the noise.
“I expect you guys to behave yourselves!”. 🙂 Right Mr. President , that’s not gonna happen 🙂
Thanks so much for all of your work to get us the latest, Chips. Exciting to be in the moment with all of this.
Mahalos, Chips, for all the Irish Celebration Vids & Pics~ La la la..No one’s as Irish as Bar-ack O’Bama & Our Very Own Chipsticks~ La La La! Hey, I’m Irish too.. Erin Go Braugh~ :toast: with the green beer, guinness, or whatever!
Wow I just had a wonderful St.Patrick’s day right here in Chips bar. I mean blog!
Dear Henry Healy the 8th, WILL YOU MARRY ME????
Those babies find PBO everywhere he goes:)
OMG, how cool is that?!
I wonder why Stephen Neill wasn’t invited as well. I guess the Whitehouse invited the POTUS’s relatives only.
How do you know he wasn’t invited?
It was reported that Henry Healy and Ollie Hayes plus one each were invited.
Oh I see. I’m sure there is a perfectly good reason we’re just not aware of!!!
And your point?
To my knowledge Ollie isn’t related to the President so I don’t think that is the case.
How cool is that?
Loving it. Go Henry, Go Ollie
Four More Years! I just love him!
This is such fun. So happy for Henry and Ollie. Can’t wait for them to send a report to Chips!
Our president is too cool! Great to see him with Henry and Ollie on a pub crawl. Being at the White House with PBO must have been surreal for Henry.
Rainy day in L.A. Which means it’s a lazy day. I plan to spend much time in bed watching tv and reading. Happy St. Paddy’s Day to everyone.
And the same to you LL. Have a relaxing, “lazy” St. Patrick’s Day in CA. 🙂
It’s also raining here in what is usually Sunny San Diego. Still, I just couldn’t resist going to the pub for a few beers on St. Paddy’s Day. Any way, I hope you had a wonderful “lazy day” with family.
AWESOME!! HAPPY St. Patricks day!!!
Love the video of the President having a Guinness, my favorite beer 😀
In the spirit of me getting first:
Thank you nintendowii10! Love, love, love House of Pain. . . I was jiggling so much! (AND I DO ME JIGGLE!) 🙂
URGH. . . (AND I DO MEAN JIGGLE!)
I love that one! Reminds me of the good ole’ days of the early ’90s…
Oh this is so wonderful, how very nice to see Cousin Henry & Ollie Hayes out partying with POTUS.. I’m so happy for them 🙂 🙂
Baby’s thought bubble:
Yeah, that’s right, Barack’s got me. Gonna get major play from the preschool hotties.
LOL! 😀 That baby was so cute, and seemed so nonplussed about being in the President’s arms. Like, yeah I belong here! 😀 😀
He is a cutie, all of the cameras flashing seemed to bother him, poor thing.
LL…
Your post…Bravery…..really touched me…..i tried to comment on the site,,,but ihave trouble…i did comment on the last thread…i love reading your words……
Pressssssssss ON
I must concur with prettyfoot58! You’re doing a wonderful job on The People’s View!!!
#PressOn
Ha! He had a little toddler swag going on, didn’t he? Just as cool as he could be — arm swung over PBO’s shoulder, a little half smile — he was chillin!
Upon closer inspection I see the President’s green fleece is a LL Bean “National Parks” fleece. I will bet the sales for those go way up today if they are available to the public!
How fun! So glad this happened today. My POB keeps secret service busy. May they always be strong in protecting him.

Living With Half a Heart: the Lihn Family’s Health Care Story
http://www.whatisworking.com/2012/03/living-with-half-heart-lihn-familys.html
thx linda!
Here’s a snippet for ya. The ACA is for real folks. Yesterday I received a check from my insurer for $350.00. Boy, talk about being floored. There was no explanation either. It just identified where the check came from on the stub and that was all. I was puzzled until I saw a similar situation on MSNBC. So, if any of you sexy senior, that have had medical issues like I have, get a check in the mail. You know what to do. Go get a tot of rhum like I did or whatevah!
Wow! I didn’t know that! An unexpected benefit.
Happy for you! I bet that was a refund of your drug benefit, closing the so called “doughnut hole” I read people were supposed to be getting those rebates. We won’t because we have Tri-care for life as our medicare supplement, thank you all the deities! Hubby gets his BP meds direct in the mail from Tri-care, 90 supply with no co-pay. My asthma meds cost me just a small co-pay. So we are very fortunate.
Enjoy your wind fall and a “kiss from the Gunny” That’s what the marines in my family call a shot of Captain (“Gunny”) Morgan rum but as Hubby would say: “What do jarheads know about rum?!?”
They know enough to “keep the boat afloat”.Tell Gunny the Squid says ‘Semper Fi’. 😉

They must have been having a really good time. For a moment I thought I almost saw that Secret Service guy smile.
Hey guys!! Hope you all had a Happy St Partrick’s Day, because I sure did!
We’re watching you all and just beaming with excitement for you!! I hope you’re enjoying every moment. We sure are!!
Isn’t it crazy how the public responds to President Obama?!!!
that was so fun to see your tweet! How awesome was that?!? Have a great day!
Happy St Patrick’s Day Henry!!! Glad to see you had time with the President, I’m happy for you!
It looked like you had an awesome day 🙂
Thanks for popping in to say hi!
Oh, I was hoping you would swing by! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Cousin Henry, and enjoy your time in the good ol’ USA!
Hello Henry! We are all very excited to have you and Ollie here and glad to hear that you both had so much fun with your cousin, our President O’bama!!!
We are having a wonderful time just like you! Seeing our President with people who love and support him is a joy to behold! We hope you will enjoy your stay here!
So happy for you Henry, for spending St. Patrick’s Day with your cousin.
Hi Henry, glad to “see you” in the States and having a blast. Hope you had a chance to meet the rest of your cuz’s family.
Welcome tothe U S.
Welcome to the US Henry…..watch out for the people with NO LIPS….they are Republicans….

Hey Cousin Henry! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! It’s been great seeing you have so much fun! We’re all enjoying it! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy St Patrick’s Day to you Henry.. and to Ollie and that guy Barack O’Bama.. we are so glad you’re all enjoying the day.. and how nice of you to stop in and say hello to us 🙂
Hey Cousin Henry you are turning out to be a spitting image of your cousin. Those profile pics of you and Pres. Obama at the pub today show the resemblance best — same hairline, recessed eyes and all. Must be exciting for you. Thanks for dropping us a note here and on Twitter. Cheers! Slainte!
Hey Henry, welcome to America and Happy St Paddy’s Day. What a day of memories and stories for you! Thanks for coming here and sharing with us.
You and Ollie are always welcome! Enjoy your stay. Will you be attending the festivities on the 24th at the WhiteHouse? Please give us a recap if you do!
Hola, Henry! I hope you & Ollie will get to see more of America than just DC. Have a wonderful visit & safe trip home!
Hey Henry – it is incredible that with all the excitement you remembered to drop us a line at TOD.
I certainly had fun watching you. 🙂
Hope you have a great time in the US.
Hi, Henry!! Have been occupied with my sister here from out of town and hadn’t realized that you had come here to say hello 🙂 My TOD family directed me here, and we send warm welcome to you. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Bet THIS one was memorable 🙂 We LOVE your cousin, our President, more than anything. Wish we could have all been little leprechauns on your shoulder today! Enjoy your stay, and please don’t be a stranger….come visit, we love to hear from you!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Henry. We are thrilled that you’re here.
Hey Henry,
Loved the pixs of you guys at the Dubliner. You look as if you are having a blast. Enjoy the WH next week and the rest of your trip.
Hi Henry,
Welcome to the USA and Happy St. Patrick’s day!!!! I hope that you and Mr Hayes are having a fantastic time hanging out with your cousin and our Precious President Barack O’bama!!
Thank you and the great place of Moneygall and Ireland for generously welcoming POTUS and FLOTUS during their visit last year. Please let the people of your town and country know that your friendship and exceptional welcome of The Obamas was very much appreciated.
I plan to visit Ireland one day and yes, I definitely plan to spend what little money I have in the stores of your beautiful town.
Have a great time in the USA
I should say so! Doesn’t get any better than that. Welcome to America, cuz.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Henry! Enjoy your stay is the USA. So thrilled for you…what a cool deal! Thanks for saying hi to us! 🙂
Here’s is Pete Souza’s photo at the Dubliner:
It’s gorgeous.
WHOA, don’t know how that happened!! Let’s try again:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/photogallery/march-2012-photo-day
Perfect photo — Pete is so talented! Thanks, meta.
How wonderful!! Chips, do you think Henry and Ollie will be on Irish late night again? I’d love to hear them talk about this amazing experience!
check above — Henry just left a note here!
Ha ha, so coo to see Henry 8th and Ollie hanging out with PBO, downing a pint. I love love my President. Look at all those happy faces.
Hee:
Cool, I like that.
Mega Totally Cool! Thanks, meta~ I just sent that to me sistah in New York.
Has this been shared yet?
I’, dancing all over the place today so I can’t seem to stay on top of the current topics.
VC, I posted his tweet just above you! LOL
😆 Great minds…or story of my life – second or third, never 1st. Hey, just reminded that I’m 2nd in family order too! 😉
Reminds me of old times. My roommate and I used to go to the Dubliner almost every Friday after work. Her cousin used to be a singer there, we had so much fun. I would have loved to have Pres. O’bama join us!
Hate to spoil anyone’s cheers but did you view that accompanying video ” Vets for Ron Paul turn back on PBO” ? I hadn’t known about this or when it happened but that is a sizeable group of vets (former and current). I wonder if any of these creeps did the same to Bush. And just how many active vets at that time defied their CIC. Sickening.
Earlier today I heard the so-called “spokesman” of the OWS movement doing an interview on the radio. He said they’re planning big demonstrations at both the DNC and the GOP conventions. He said that PBO was just as bad as the GOP nominees because he’s takes money from corporations and that means he works for the good of them and not the people. Just freakin’ stupid juvenile nonsense.
Wasn’t it the same OWS who had planned to “Occupy Obama” during the Iowa caucuses? Well, how did that work out? And what about the other time when they forgot that they were supposedly protesting Obama and instead whipped out their cameras and started taking pictures?!?
OWS is insignificant that’s why they’ve run out of money and support, and reduced to nothing but a fringe attention-seeking group. For all the so-called support that Ron Paul has, why is he usually DEAD LAST in those GOP primaries?
“why is he usually DEAD LAST in those GOP primaries?”
Exactly right, but this also points out all the animosity, unwarranted IMO, toward PBO when others were allowed to get off scott free for crimes and misdemeanors. I tend to be a skeptic when it comes to America, and I will also say that all those celebrating today in those pics with PBO, I hope they are supporters and not just elated due to their imbibing. No harm meant. PBO has enemies left and right, black and white, gay and straight, educated and uneducated- who all tend to hold him way much more accountable than they did any past prez. To me, it’s a bit unforgiveable as he is the only President in my lifetime, except for Jimmy Carter, though PBO is even more so compassionate, almost to a fault, for folks who would sooner see him lynched than to succeed in making all of our lives better. I do not take them lightly. In another vane, I was at Dollar Tree today, and lo and behold, sister sara’s book made it to the bookshelves….LOL !
EDP4BHO, I will tell you that PBO has more supporters than enemies. What you see in the media/blogosphere etc is a very skewed ugly side of America and not what America represents. I would wager that the vast majority of people at that bar are in fact PBO supporters, and it’s not just because of their drinking because everywhere PBO goes, he gets pretty much the same reaction from crowds that are not drinking – REGARDLESS of race, color or creed.
The few people that the MSM elevates to speak on behalf of all Blacks, gays, Hispanics, left, straight, etc, do not represent the groups that they purport to belong to. How many of the Black folks in Atlanta yesterday do you think are regular followers of Cornel West and Tavis Smiley? Yet, if we only listened to the media, you would be led to think that West and Smiley’s attitude towards PBO are characteristic of all Blacks. And I seriously doubt that Dan Choi represents the LGBT community where PBO is concerned. Anyone from those groups who has a problem with PBO already had problems with PBO and nothing will change it.
And my question about Ron Paul’s standing in the GOP primary really highlights the fact that Ron Paul supporters are an illusory group. Probably the same set of RW trolls being paid to post all over the same nasty things everywhere.
Hopefruit, It’s really a joy to read your sober comments that are deeply rooted in realism! There is no doubt that the media is more interested in drama. Consequently, they give more coverage to all the loud mouths who hate and oppose President Obama. But just because the media are preoccupied with sensationalism and drama does not mean that the vast majority of Americans share the media’s preoccupation. Time and time again, people who show up to participate in the events with the President debunk the false media meme that President Obama is loosing the enthusiasm of his supporters.
Let’s also call a spade a spade: No matter how much the media, and the so called leftists haters of President Obama, try to inflate Ron Paul’s support, Ron Paul has ZERO chance of being elected President of the United States. We know for certain, based on the results so far, that he will never be the presidential nominee of the Republican party. I am also 100% certain that Ron Paul, should he decide to run as a libertarian–as some people want him to do– will still never be elected President. The only purpose this preoccupation with Ron Paul serves is to try to distract people from the despicable policies being advanced by GOP candidates. By the way, it just so happens that Ron Paul shares at least 90% of the policies being advocated by his fellow GOP candidates.
I didn’t see that so I don’t know what you mean. But we are a strong military family. Hubby spent 20 years in the Navy, all my brothers served, my youngest brother did his 20 in the Marines. We have two active duty Marines right now & one who just joined the Navy. We have never seen a President who was so supportive of our military, not just when sending them off to war but when they returned home. The support going out to the families from FLOTUS & Dr. Biden is very well appreciated. MOMA recently did a cover story article on their work.
Active duty Military are not permitted to appear at political events, certainly not in uniform. Vets may do as they please. I don’t know who these people are that you are talking about but by & large the military respects and even loves PBO. He has treated them with empathy & respect for their professionalism & their sacrifice when so many in the past treated them like so disposable machines. Don’t think our service people don’t get that.
thanks for your concise and correct response! Of course you are moe informed about it than me but I share your observation about the serving men and women’s appreciation of what President Obama, Mrs Obama, The Bidens and all of the administration have done to support the military – unbiased service people and their families know the truth
Yes, thank you aquagranny911 for your comments. I totally concur with you. I have very personal relationships with so many beautiful military families, and their feelings about POB, VPBiden, FLOTUS, and Dr. Biden are wonderful.
I believe in my heart from my observations about POB that his heart is in the right place concerning our military men and women, and as long as he is their CIC, he will certainly make sure that they receive all of the respect that they so deserve.
I am putting my trust and respect in that. And all the grateful thanks to all of our military men and women and their families. We will focus on helping and supporting POB and VPBiden on accomplishing their goal surrounding this war, and bringing our men and women home safely and responsibily. That is my prayer.
We will focus on the positive energy because our President and certainly our military men and women deserve that from us. Remember “No Drama From Obama.” He still keeps that motto to us. So we will stay out of the “drama classes.” We are moving on to the “Respectful, and Responsible Action Classes.” Our nation deserves that, and our President deserves that. PRESSON as Bobfr reminds us.HZ
HILARIOUS. . .
Game change in 43 seconds!
http://kaystreet.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/hbos-game-change-in-43-seconds/
This video from Atlanta yesterday cracked me up – I think my filming would be as, eh, steady in the same situation:
Description: Our President was rollin past Greenbriar Mall and we (me, Autumn and Cameron) were there to capture it all. I was extreamly excited so there was a lot of shaking, street recordings, and screaming. President Obama was in the second car. We waited for 2.5 hrs.
So funny – she lost her mind and totally blew the shot!!
LOL! And the poor kids not quite sure what to make of mom (or aunt or sister’s) super excitement…They are just as thrilled and not sure why!
This is why we keep working like we do for POB. Those young ones are the reason we keep moving to re-elect POB in 2012. That is our future of young ones to get in the spaces many of us we leave for them to occupy with hope, love, compassion, intellect, vision, hardwork, giving back, and reaching their highest levels of being the best citizens that they can be in this great nation. God bless this moment upon their futures.HZ
BAGHDAD, March 17 (Reuters) – A militia loyal to Iraqi Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr freed an American former soldier on Saturday after holding him captive in Baghdad for nine months.
The American, identified as Randy Michaels, was shown on television in a U.S. military uniform with no insignia, flanked by two members of parliament from Sadr’s movement, including the parliament’s first deputy speaker.
He was handed over to the United Nations mission in Baghdad, which said it was in touch with the U.S. embassy.
The Sadrist lawmakers described him as an American soldier, but Michaels said he was a former service member working in a civilian capacity at the time he was captured, last June.
Guittierez back to criticizing POTUS, again!
Anyways…, awesome pictures chipper!
Need I say more? 🙂
NICE!!!!! THX HOPEFRUIT~
Just talking to Henry – they had a blast 🙂 Were in West Wing and also travelled with POTUS in motorcade 🙂
Stephen
Stephen! Lovely hearing from you, thank you so much for the news, it sounds like it was a perfect day!
Thanks Stephen for sharing this with us! So happy to hear that Henry and Ollie had a fabulous St. Patrick’s Day with President Obama 🙂
Stephen, I hesitate to ask but wonder how your son is doing.
OMG, they traveled with POTUS in the motorcade? Thats soooooo coooool. Cant wait for the response/reporting from the people of MoneyGall.
Thanks for thinking of us Stephen! Glad Henry & Ollie are having such a great time. Next time hope you can come. How is your son?
Yes hope so too 🙂 Aaron is doing really well thank you 🙂 He has finished all his radiotherapy and his energy levels are about back to normal. On hormone therapy due to damage caused by tumour but long term prognosis is very good – Scary time but over worst 🙂 heading back to Tenerife (where he took ill last July and our home from home) next month – important trip for us as doctors there saved his life and will always hold a place in our hearts. Aaron really excited 🙂 All in all 2012 is looking good – but an Obama win in November would be icing on the cake 🙂 Stephen
Glad to hear Aaron is doing well. I’ve wondered and I’m glad you shared this wonderful news with us. I’m hoping to take my Mom to Ireland and Moneygall after a successful election in November.
That’s just wonderful news Stephen, it’s marvelous that Aaron is recovering so well. Wishing you the happiest of returns to Tenerife, may the sun shine brightly on you all!
Thank God for the news about your dear son! wishing him and your family the very best today and always.
thanks a lot for updating us on The American Adventures of Henry and Ollie with President O’bama!
A lot of very cool, kind and genrous people in MoneyGall – we saw this with our own eyes before and during the visit by President and Mrs Obama.
Please let the people of your town and your country know that we are very greatful for the love, respect and great wellcome you provided to POTUS and FLOTUS.
I intend to visit soon.
stay kind and welcoming to all
Positve encouraging news on your son. Best wishes from California!
Double positive encouragement also coming from Cali. The very best wishes to your son.HZ
Thanks for keeping us in the loop! So great to hear from you; please drop by more often! 🙂
That is awesome. Thanks for dropping in today. We are ALL watching the activities and love every second of it. So keep bringing the scoop. We are living in exciting times my friend.
Thank you so much for sharing the fun news with us!
#PRESSON
Stephen thanks for dropping a line it’s probably too late but Happy St Patricks Day and God Bless you and your son! Thanks too for the Henry update! 😀
Stunning! Welcome to America!
Republican Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.) on Saturday thanked President Obama for quickly approving millions of dollars in federal disaster aid to 10 Tennessee counties, just one day after he and other Tennessee Republicans asked for it.
“I thank Governor [Bill] Haslam (R ) for seeking aid for those recovering from the severe storms, and I appreciate the administration’s quick approval of the governor’s requrest that was supported by our congressional delegation,” Corker said. “As communities continue to repair and rebuild, I hope this assistance will help Tennesseans in need.”
http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/216531-gop-senator-corker-thanks-obama-for-swift-decision-on-tennessee-disaster-aid
Hmmm!
New post everyone:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/03/17/the-enthusiasm-gap-atlanta/
We will not find out for another 3 weeks who won Missouri caucuss!
Pathetic…
There is no good reason for that kind of delay except that the GOP establishment is probably planning to fix the votes based on how well (or not) Romney does in the coming races in Puerto Rico and Illinois.
FYI, Kid President Obama is holding is the grandson of the owner of that pub and his photo is the one on the VIP badge the POTUS is spotting on his National Park’s Jacket
I was wondering why there was a child in the pub – especially on St. Patrick’s Day! Thanks for the info.
This is the coolest – hanging out with the Prez. Hope we get some snippet of inside info from Henry – lucky H8th
Glad to hear Stephen’s son is doing well – prayers for his continued health and strength.
