The Obama Diary 
I loved every minute of it!
Am I first?
Congrats Proud!!
Good afternoon TOD!
Congrats on 1st Proud.
That’s Jackie it is truly an honor.
Thanks, sorry typo.
Winner!
YAY! I love this photo.
First
Nah…missed it by a hair. I want a consolation prize Chips and it better not be sneaky or snarky. š
LOL I would like one too, good morning UT.
Snarky? Me? šÆ
š
That’s cold.
That’s cold Chips. That’s cold. Who’s going to the Champions League again? Who? WHO?????? That’s right: CHELSEA!
Who’s kicking ass this morning? Who? WHO?????? That’s right: CHELSEA!
Gooooooooo BLUE!
QPR ? Really ? The club leading the bottom fifth of the pool ? A club that is so original that they went for initials for their name ?
I don’t give a shit. We’re still beating them. Wigan isn’t on the same tier as Man United yet they beat them. It’s the victories that matter & who’s going to the Champions League? Who? WHO??? Yeah….It’s CHELSEA.
Goooooooo BLUE!
yeah, now that the home league is a wash, blues must be doing some dark sacrifices to beat the germans. Let’s see if they work.
Don’t worry Chips. City is gonna rain on your parade.
I bet all the comedians envy PBO and his writers.
I love that……
David Frum is having a meltdown on Twitter – trying to play psychologist “analyzing” the President’s jokes. He got some serious pushback from TODers and others.
I pushed back hard against him too. He’s dumb if he thinks he’s just morphed into Freud.
Hey Twitter peeps!!!! Can this video go viral please?!!!!!!!!!!!!
Done
thanks Jackie!!! š
I love that ad more than anything—–well, not more than anything—-but I really really love it. Priceless and perfect!
Chips is it possible to take the last bit by Kimmel on the lame Media…thx
Will do later Aristac, just getting some work done – remind me if I forget!
Thx, will do
As per LisaLovesObama’s wishes, let’s make this go viral TOD. š
OOOOOOOH yeah!!!! thank you, UT!!!! š I’m supposed to be writing my paper but I just spent 48 minutes rewatching the WHCD and this ad!!!
“I’m an American doggone-it!!! And I ride outside!”
THIS IS THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF “MITT ROMNEY vs REALITY” ADS
This ad is beyond brilliant. In a very funny and powerful way it exposes Mitt Romney’s mendacity. The thread that runs through everything Mitt Romney and the Republicans do or say is DISHONESTY.
What I love is that if you take the real Romney ads, the voices are the same, with the same “America can’t afford 4 more years of Barack Obama” nonsense, with the same drawn out sneer in the name (including the lack of his title). Now, every time people see those Mitt ads, they’ll be completely neutralized as people link them to this nearly identical ad. And they didn’t even pick ugly pictures of Romney, like the other campaigns always try and do to President Obama. Republicans and Rove think they know how to neutralize their opponents’ strengths, but clearly, they haven’t seen President Obama in action.
Look at that precious dog, Bo.
I think Rachel is on Meet the Republicans today….
I think Speaker Boehner will be on State of the Republican Nation with Candy Crowley. I am sure we can expect some really hard hitting questions.
I e-mailed her when I found out he was on and asked her what size bucket of water she would be bringing on the set with her…
We all agreed it would be a 50 gallon drum.
Ladyhawke, you’re right. Maybe she will ask Boehner has he ever had a hole in one, or when did he first start to play golf? You know Candy Crowley hard hitting journalists questions.
I have a good one, she can ask him what is favorite color is. That should make news. I expect Candy to be joined at the tonsils with Speaker Boehner. She won’t challenge anything he says with facts. Journalism is dead.
There is only one person who can get me to watch that David Gregory . if President Obama was on Meet the Press, that is the only reason I would watch it.
Same for me. I have not watched any of the Sunday shows since PBO’s inauguration.
indeed….
RM was fantastic Bravo and so was Hillary Rosen VS 2 Republicans, I never watch MTP, but this
time we did because of RM and Hillary.
I hope this works. MTP video.
G’day everyone!
Good morning everyone. Still basking in the awesomeness of PBO at the WHCD. Every year he tops himself. I have a question for the coming week. I understand that there is to be an NBC show or interview about PBO ending Osama. Does anyone know exactly when, where, and what time?
Thanks, Chips for the recaps and the photos. I can now savor the moments without mad blogging.
Hope PBO and FLOTUS get to have a relaxing day doing whatever they want.
It is a lovely day in NE Fla. hope it is great where all of you are today. Good to be outdoors.
Brian Williams show at 9 on Tuesday night!
Scratch my last- it’s Wednesday night.
Do you copy?
Yes, it airs on NBC – Wed May 2nd at 9PM ET
http://rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com/
Happy Sunday Morning Chips & TODville Night Owls! š š Good Morning to all other sane TODville-ites, and the ShyOnes! š š
Ok everyone- tweet the video chips just made- go viral!
The President will be on Rock Center Wednesday evening with Brian Williams. I understand it will be broadcast from the famous situation room in the White House to commemorate the killing of bin Laden.
Thanks, Carolyn. It is going on my must see calendar.
Thanks for posting the video of WHCD. I got home late from work last night and missed it. I did register 6 new voters yesterday. I only spent 3 minutes doing it. I had to go to work.. Off to work again today. Peace and love to all of you from a very rainy state of Florida.
Send some of that rain to my part of the state, we really need it. Have a good day at work.
They are all livid, by saying that Robney would not have done the same.
While we are all riding high and planning for November AND JANUARY, I just want to remind us of Theo’s message that hanging-out space for those who are coming from far for the Inauguration is going F-A-S-T!
theo67 April 23, 2012 at 10:45 pm
If anyone is planning to attend the inauguration in January to witness President Obama being sworn in, heads up ā hotels are already selling out. When I called, there were only two hotels in the vicinity with decent prices (i.e. $360/night for double room), and air tickets are already starting to skyrocket. Apartment/condo/townhouse rentals on sites like āHomeAway.comā look like theyāre filled already with a lot of the usual providers. If you are planning to be there, book at least your hotel now! You can usually cancel up to the day before. A good site which will search all the local hotels with you over the phone is dcluxuryhotels.com ā good luck! A couple of us have already booked.
…//
Theo to LDS: A few of us are staying at the Donovan Hotel ā still close enough to the action. But, if you call the number on dcluxuryhotels.com, they will work with your price range and preferences and give you some options.
..// LDS replied later:
Theo67, if you are still up I did crawl out of bed to book hotel reservations for the Inauguration. I was there 2008 and I will not miss 2013! There were no rooms available at the Donovan, but I am close by at the Normandy. I really donāt care if itās a tentā¦.(I am not occupying nothing but the voting booth, though. Thank you so much for the heads up. I hope to see you and many more TOD Family there.
..//
If TODville-ites plan to end up close enough so that we can meet, we’ve got to start booking! YES. WE. CAN. AGAIN. BECAUSE WE. MUST!! š :lol;
Thanks for rebroadcasting this, VC! š
Hi T! Did you notice LDS’s response?
Yes – the more the merrier!! š
Agreed. I sure hope others won’t take too long to check out houses/hotels etc so that a large group of TODobots can meet up. It would be awesome!
Enjoy your Monday….when you wake up! You west coast folk sure keep ‘weird’ hours. š š š
Hey VC – it’s my birthday today. Slept in (even by west coast standards) and now enjoying a lazy day off. Take care!
If it’s Sunday; It’s Chelsea kicks ass day! š
Per gopolitico, apparently, kim kardashian is the only dem in her family. Ok. +1 for that redeeming feature.
they vote? …….Seriously? Khloe isn’t a dem? Really Khloe? and you were my favorite too. š¦
On Piers Morgan a few months back, she was very complimentary of PBO.
Big fan of his. Piers had a sad!
Oh yeah. Gibbs was very, very good on MTP. Shot down every stupid question and redirected it back at Robney,
Nice job.
Also, how much did Hillary Rosen get paid to go on MTP?
Guys, what’s the name of that site where you can see the front page of every newspaper?
Me thinks it is Newseum.
Rachel is bringing it on MTP! Booyeah!
Is it the Neuseum ?
Yea, neuseum. Thanks everyone.
Not sure, blackwaterdog but you might want to try Newseum?
http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages
Oh, thanks mate!
C-SPAN is re-airing Pres. Obama’s remarks at the WHCD right now! Hahahahahaha
Can this be converted to a You Tube video ?…. ( I am clueless about those things.)
http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002872/
Ooooweee! If anybody saw the roundtable on MTP? Rachel and Rosen just kicked ass.
Yup yup. It was not pretty for Costellanos and mcmorris!
Ooooweee!
Jovie if Rachel and Rosen kick ass, GREAT. Because I do not think Hillary Rosen said anything all that bad. She told the truth, it’s just the media over played her comments. The media help turn that nothing into a story. The media help the Romney campaign, you would think the Romney campaign was paying the media.
“you would think the Romney campaign was paying the media.”
He has friends who are the owners…….
Not today! Rosen and Rachel were on message and argued their points beautifully.
And they kicked Robneys ass. The Republucabs were on the defensive, for once. For once!!!
And Gibbs was also magnificent!
Hooorayyy!!!!
Thanks for heads up Jovie. I will check it out when it re-airs at 2PM.

MTP video
I hope this works.
I like! Democrats came out swinging on tv this Morning.
They are not being bullied and seem to be sick of that aspect of the media.
No wonder the MSM does not want to have Democrats on tv. Because, we are pissed off!
How long before the MSM and the GOP complain about the “TONE” of the political discourse. That’s what they always complain about when President Obama and the Democrats call them out with a bit of TRUTH. The Republicans can dish it but they can’t take it. Most of all, they can’t take it when they are exposed with the facts. And the MSM carry water for the GOP just hates it when PBO makes the GOP look bad by simply stating the facts.
Especially on MTP!
And I thought Rachel was no-liberal, no-Dem, Obama hating, just-in-it for the money something or another.
Ease up on all the snarky comments Left-Indie, they’re not welcome here.
Thanks Chip…
Left-Indie shows up mostly to stir the pot and seems to get a thrill from determinedly pushing his/her always contrarian view of all things President Obama…
His/her specialty of course is a rabid defense of critics of President Obama…
He/she always seems to think the President’s critics are the only ones entitled to unchecked attacks on President Obama, and any push-back even with facts, ‘stifles’ dialogue…
Frankly, like so many here, I’m not buying what Left-Indie continues to push…and I will even go out on a limb to say that Left-Indie’s mission here is not to help rally for President Obama or fervently support the prime purpose of our gathering here: to ensure the re-election of President Obama…
As the election drives into high gear, we must guard against those who will under various guises, infiltrate the few dedicated pro-President Obama sites like this seeking to contaminate, demoralize and to simply wreak havoc by throwing us off focus…
Rachel is like Tweety- up and down, bi polar!
Pre requisite for msnbc pundits- …
Dang I hate Twitter Jail. Cain’t post until several hours.
Can some one RT this>>>>>@OFA_MO Weāre UPagainst a critical fundraising deadline Monday-chip in&U could hang out with @BarackObama & Clooney: http://OFA.BO/vL5hwM
DONE.
Thanks Renegade
(((hugs)))
What is twitter jail and what do you have to do to get arrested?
Apparently they only allow you so many tweets during a certain period of time (100 per hour or something like that) and if you exceed it you are blocked out from tweeting for a while.
Happy Day After, TOD! Back to reality:
Let me correct it, GOP Men claims there is no war on women. I am a women and I say there is a war on women. We are under attack by these radical right wing Republicans. And we can not stand for it. The Republicans are always saying how they want big Government out of their lives. Well we women say we want the Republicans big Government out of our bedroom.
Joel Osteen: āThe Scripture Says That Being Gay Is A Sinā |
Mega church leader Joel Osteen reiterated his belief that āthe scripture says that being gay is a sin,ā telling Fox Newsā Chris Wallace Monday morning, āmy faith is based on what I believe the scripture says and thatās the way I read the scripture.ā Asked if gay people are entitled to equal rights, Osteen insisted āI donāt think we should discriminate against anybodyā before adding, āI am not for gay marriage.ā
—
Olsteen is a fraud …he was never ordained as a minister……
Wonder if GLAAD will speak out on this? Rachel Maddow? Probably not but if PBO says it than its outright wrong!!
Because one is a political leader. The other is a religious leader of a mega church. I’m pro-gay rights but don’t expect a religious leader to say anything different than Olsteen.
I’m not too sure about that. His father relinquished his pulpit to Joel just before he died. He had been after Joel for some time to take up preaching and Joel had balked. He was, however, working in the ministry in a support function..
Mitt Romney is gonna buy some Australian politicians.
LOL.Talk about stonewalling.
I don’t know what the prime minister said but I support 100% and I am sure she is right.
Perfect Sir Humphrey-speak.
Actually, IN PBO’s PARTY, NOW AND IN THE NEXT 41/2 YEARS, I would welcome ministers with his level of support, particularly in media interviews!! I would welcome 100% support from Dems for PBO BECAUSE they should know the nature of the man by now and know his heart for the American people. The should know that whatever he proposes, has been researched by him AND is intended for the good of the whole. Therefore giving a united face to the media re any PBO decision, while seeking clarification as needed in private, is a strategy that would get my vote right now.
Absolutely concur…
LOL….that sure is funny,,,hadn’t seen that before.
Gibbs…
(Repubs) message is “You didn’t clean up our mess fast enough”! Ha! Zing!
Well peeps I better get my butt off. I am so addicted to what is going on that I fall behind in my studies.
I need information anonymous, lol . Until next time toodles.
correction,
That I am falling behind in my studies
Good day TODers,
Still LOL at several of the President’s jokes!! ‘touch of soy’ ….. š š š
Please keep asking – What Is Romney Hiding? – we will never allow him to escape this reality …
#PRESSON
Bobfr, you know John McCain sure did severely guttered his reputation by picking Sarah Palin as VP candidate. McCain use to be highly respected, from Democrats, not anymore. In his old old old age he has gone to darn far to the right, he seem to have become senile, and he is still bitter that Barack Obama defeated him.
It appears that since Obama’s election, many formerly “reasonable” and well-respected individuals seem to have come down with a severe case of ODS. And if Obama gets re-elected, I expect that a lot more individuals will be afflicted with this disorder.

Amazingly beautiful dress….
So is the First Lady wearing the dress.
It looks similar, but so much better next to Michelle’s beautiful skin and figure. But then that’s true with whatever models she wears.
I enjoy seeing how a runway dress translates to a woman with a real figure. She wears everything so well.
The woman on the right needs a telethon of some sort.
http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2012/04/romney-concedes-on-likability-will-run.html
Romney concedes on “likability” – will run on his “credentials”
Gordon Gekko…2012. Yeah, Mitt…..let’s see how this works out for you.
funny thing that, cause he’s got as much likability as he has credentials: 0.
exactly my point:) Zero. Zilch. Nada.
He is not even running on his record as governor, which is horrible.
Of course not. That would be BAD! The people of MA KNOW this….
That’s why Paul Begala was especially brilliant on Bill Maher this week: it was ALL about Romney’s record as governor.
Let’s get this straight: he served one term in elected office. He lied through his teeth to get elected, turned on a dime into the draconian Republican he really is and spent most of his term preparing to run for President. The only other time he did anything for the country was when he hired a bunch of lobbyists to get the Federal government to bail out the Olympics.
Popcorn, please.
Best comment, 57. You friggin’ NAILED it!!!
I shall hand you the popcorn only if the scandal of the games is discussed. Squeaky-clean image of Utah notwithstanding, they were trafficking in all of the vices to get the games. He has been vaguely mum on the Secret Service faux scandal, hasn’t he?
Romney has only two examples of public ‘service’ and I use the term loosely. His record as governor and the Olympics should be raked over the coals.
Brit, this is OT but I can’t thank you enough for your amazing investigative journalism re: the Murdoch Empire. I will be first in line to buy your book.
Jeez, I hope I got the right “Brit”!?
desertflower, so I don’t trust Mitt Romney. I don’t like Mitt Romney, but he can do the job. Not buying it. It ‘s a bunch of crap. So we are the one doing the hiring and I don’t know to many people who will hire someone they don’t like or trust.
yea!
O/T: I feel so badly for the people of England but I gotta say, this is what comes from cutting and gutting and taxing the poor to pay the rich. The fact that Cameron– a likable guy in my estimation– sees how bad the numbers on the economy are in terms of growth and contraction, and also in terms of his party’s poll numbers 29% –lowest since 2004– and he’s still saying he’s doing the right thing–he went onto some show and doubled down on his trickle down/cut-gut and desecrate economic plan. What an ass. Something tells me he won’t be re-elected. This whole thing of hiking tuition on kids and over taxing the lower classes (or middle class, whatever they call it) then giving tax breaks to rich folks was so wrong and i think it’s really sad. The bad thing is that because the Lib/Dems are part of the coalition, their poll numbers have sunk to 11%. I don’t know why it’s lower than the Tory’s seeing as their voices are louder in the coalition. Sucks to be them. Thank God for PBO. You can’t cut a country’s way out of recession. It’s different from a business. You own a business and you’re in debt, you fire some staff, others take pay cuts, get rid of some programs that aren’t essential,etc. and you may be able, over time to balance your books. Not so for a country. A country isn’t a business. There are so many complicated factors associate with the economy, job growth, production, etc. Cutting and gutting is irresponsible when it comes to growing a country’s economy and getting out of debt. These repugs/Tories never learn. Always so stubborn and foolish.
Well, it is the definition of stupid. Doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. Could it be that he (they) are so arrogant, that they would rather be RIGHT than prosperous as a nation?
I sooooo agree with you lisa!
THIS is EXACTLY what Mitt Romney is saying:
Take a look – not the ad, the rest.
OMG, “The Jesus Budget” is a “miracle” hashtag waiting for the creative tweeters, er, is it twitterers?!
GO #The Jesus Budget hashtag.
That reminds me of President Obama at last year’s White House Corresponddents’ Dinner, when he mentioned Paul Ryan’s budget. Ryan wasn’t there, he said, but that didn’t matter because his budget was nothing to laugh about. Groans and applause.
More Stand Your Ground. This time in AZ. I remember this from when it actually happened…will have to go back and see if the story has changed since the Martin case. Seriously…this was for roadrage….so death is the answer to a roadrage incident? We are seriously F’ed up.

OMG. Rachel and I said “That’s really condesending” at the same time. What universe does ALEX live in? Oh, I forgot, he’s a GUY!
Alex live in the Republican right wing conservative world, where they want to tell women what they can and can’t do.
Exactly df and annie, they live in another world. It still makes me extremely angry, even now when it doesn’t matter to me personally anymore. Condescension ALWAYS makes me angry, whether it’s because I’m a woman or because I’m supposedly too old to understand.
this is what my directed study is about. the gender and family gap in pay for women. It’s a social psychology topic and I tackled it because even though I’m getting my degree in clinical psych, social psych has always been my passion. Did not know when I chose this topic last August that it would become so big. I’m gonna revise my intro and add all this hoopla and it’s impact and what it means for us. Then in my conclusion and policy implications I’ll talk about what needs to be remedied and how legislatively we can get ahead, beyond Lilly Ledbetter. Holy criminy!
Good advice to follow as we up our game in the ensuing months-
Everytime we try to talk real issues (i.e. the FACT that women get paid less for the same job men do), they will pull the “Obama is trying to distract you from their failed policies” card. That is getting old and I really don’t think it will work
A MUST READ…to refresh everyone’s memories on the auto bailout and Romney.

Thank you and God Bless ? Amazing.
Well, Linda, the first thing on his twitter profile is ‘Child of God – Married…’ and he mentions in one tweet that his wife thinks he spends too much time …..
I don’t think I could remain married to a man with such vile things to say about another human being who has done him no wrong. I would actually be a little afraid of him if I found out, and she cannot NOT know his position.
sick mofos.
On a lighter note: I thought PBO’s description of his grey hair was funny. Actually, I don’t see anything wrong with him using “Just for Men”. My husband does and if you look at many guys over 50 and that don’t have any grey hair, they’re probably using something. We girls are not alone in coloring our hair. We talk about it. Men don’t.
Reading your comment, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe **i** should try ‘Just for Men’. Why should they have an easier or simpler way to shade (hide) the grey. I’m assuming it’s easier? š
Oh my…the picture of PBO accompanying this article is ___!!!!!!
http://www.thenation.com/blog/167617/gops-fear-cool-obama
odd comments for a far left liberal rag……Is that why Chis Hayes and MHP are such jerks. They must take their lead from the comments on that site.
Remembe Chris Hayes wrote for them, and I think MHP is now writing for them.
I have stated on many previous occasions, that many of the online news outlets probably harbor paid operatives to spew anti-Obama or RW talking points. These do not represent the real individuals…they are generated by the media corp. machine to sow discord and undermine the President.
Good Sunnday day to all you O’s!!!! Another great gettin’ up day in TODDIE town!!!! I missed the first run of MTP, so I’m gonna catch the rerun that airs on MSNBC in a little while. I read on here that RM and Hillary Rosen did a good job, also want to catch Gibbs. Alex Witt interviews Marc Halprin who says that PBO will be re-elected, can’t see a reason why he wouldn’t be, even if the economy worsens (he who said PBO acted like a d*ck).
I am rockin…and bouncin….
a thumpin’ and a bumpin’
Love it
Seriously worth watching and reading!

Romney: U.S. Should Protect Chinese Activist Who Escaped House Arrest.
Duh…..he is in our Embassy Mitt…you dope
It’s just plain jealousy of PBO by the Repubs.
I stole this from HuffPuff from someone who made a comment about the “Boner” stating “no one wants to elect a loser”. I plan to send this to as many people who claim that PBO is a socialist, marxist, facist, kenyan, hater of whites, americans, liberty, justice, and wants to destroy america.
A winner:
President Obama:
Was born in Hawaii to a mixed race family;
was raised by a single parent;
Saw and lived in a foreign culture for a few years;
Returned to Hawaii while his mother studied and completed a course in anthropology;
His family was so poor, they lived on food stamps.
He studied at 2 Universities.
Majored in Read More… constitutional law;
Was the top of his class on graduation;
Turned down million dollar job offers to work with the poor, disposed, dispossessed and disenfranchised, for a pittance;
Became a constitutional Professor;
State senator,
Senator,
Has a loving highly gifted wife and well adjusted children;
Has just paid off his first house;
Has a net worth of 5.6 million dollars;
Is the first president to pay for renovating the living quarters in the White House out of his own pocket and returned the amount allotted for this to every president, back to the treasury;
Has tried to govern from the middle, much to the chagrin of the left base;
Has adopted Republican ideas when he saw value in them only to have the Republicans obstruct even their own ideas;
He has an outstanding list of accomplishments and successes as President and is too humble to beat his own drum about them;
Has gone from poverty to President;
He doesnāt use religion as a wedge issue to divide the nation:
He turned the economy around from net job losses in the first quarter of 2008 to 25 months of job creation, through his foresight and in spite unparalleled obstruction by those avowed to destroy his presidency, even if it meant destroying the economy and shattering real peopleās lives.
And Mitt, the guy who said corporations are people my friend and the 99% are wrong and dividing the nation.
The guy who canāt tell we are angry at the haughty and arrogant way that he made his money by bankrupting companies and throwing living breathing workers on the scrap pile mistakes the anger as we envy his wealth.
Thinks the POTUS is out of touch with real Americans.
And he doesnāt complain about conspiracy theories that donāt exist.
Face it Mittās a Sketchā¢ apart from losing when he ran for the senate, was set to lose if he ran again for governor, lost to the guy that lost to Obama, I donāt see a winner in you.
Obama is the consummate success story and he pulled himself up by his own boot straps.
MTP is now on re-run.
ha ha, it’s gotta be hard trying to make Mehney compare to PBO. Poor Ed Gillespie, brought on to give Mitt’s campaign a boost. Too bad, he doesn’t have much to work with, but has to put a good face on it. I hope he’s at least getting paid well.
We’re awaiting you on the new thread. š
Watching re-airing of Meet The Press and hahahahahaha Ed Gillepsie must really think voters are stupid. He’s questioning Pres. Obama’s foreign policy chops. Hahahahahahahaha.
Robert Gibbs is fantastic!

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) – A U.S. drone strike killed four suspected militants in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region near the Afghan border on Sunday, intelligence officials and witnesses said, the first strike in almost a month.
The controversial drone program, a key element in U.S. counter-terrorism efforts, is highly unpopular in Pakistan, where it is considered a violation of sovereignty which causes many civilian casualties.
A Pakistani parliamentary committee recently demanded an end to drone strikes on Pakistani territory as part of its recommendations for how its relationship with Washington should change. The United States has given no indication it intends to halt the campaign.
The remotely piloted aircraft targeted an abandoned girls’ high school building used by militants in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, the officials and witnesses said. Three militants were wounded.
