Morning everyone, more in a while 😉
The Obama Diary 
Did I make it?
photofinish. congrats. 🙂
Yes!!! Morning everyone.
Wow! Is that a real DEAD longhorn hanging on the wall? From this vegetarian…in tears
+1 for team vc/amk
Twitterdom rulez.
I am delurking, after all this time, I have got to do it.
Congrats on delurking. Welcome to the sane site.
yay. yay delurking! hop on! OK gotta go to work now. oh wait I’m here already…..
Yes, it must be done, you are needed here! Welcome, CJ Julisch, and good morning everyone!
Sorry, Chipsticks, typo has put me into moderation, just to start your week off!
Found and freed, Pamela!!! Morning 😉
Whew! I was a’sweatin it over here, even in the glorious cool spring rain! Well, I’m not actually outside, but kitty is out on her bistro, counting birds! {{{{{{{{{{{{Chipsticks}}}}}}}}}}}}} bless your heart!
My Great White Hunter of a maltese/bichon mix caught and killed a bird the other day. Ruined my day.
Wow, that is quite a feat, but I too would be devastated!
Thank you Miss Pamela, and you can just call me CJ. I hope to be able to add something of value to the conversations…Notice the “hope.”
Oh, you already have CJ! I was reading while Hoping for rescue, and I love the way you use our language; besides, we all know about HOPE, without it nothing would ever have been done: no immigrants would have left their homelands, Chips would have never opened TOD, and PBO would not have been given a chance to show the world How To Get The Job Done! 😉
PS: I see you de-lurked and nearly landed in first place as well! Now, that’s a feeling I can’t describe.. Ask VC when she comes on board!
🙂 You know, I think I will say away from teasing big sister VC, those big sisters have a way of getting revenge…as for amk, well, he is open target since he declared his war on “wimmin.”
Oh, VC is a darling, she is tough on the outside, but a sortie and a sweetheart otherwise! And funny! don’t let that faux anger at not being first every thread worry you, it’s all part of the fun! 😆
So, whats a sortie? iPads version of a SOFTIE!
Me ? war on wimmin ? Nevah.
I see you’ve come to your senses (or you’re doing a Romney – which seems to be acceptable these days…). Welcome back to sanity!
welcome to TOD
Hi CJ, Welcome to the best blog on the internet!!!! (Complete with naughty mats!) So glad that you are de-lurking, it was the best thing I ever did a long(ish) time ago.
It’s Sam!!!!!!!! How are you doing? Love your avatar 😉
Thanks Chips!! I am fine, REAL busy at the moment with parents and son but wouldn’t have it any other way. Great to be here though.
You’re the busiest of bees Sam, hope you’re catching the odd moment to relax! Great to see ya.
I wanted to for the longest time but I was so nervous…I have no idea why. I am glad I finally did.
Welcome to the conversation!
Morning!! So glad you jumped in to join us:)
I am off today so I spent part of the morning watching Bill Press. There is a woman from Politico that was on. I swear she is the one that sits behind Romney during his campaign stops. She is AA with Glasses. I know I have seen her at his town halls. Maybe she is just there reporting.
Good morning Chips and everyone. Wow Proud, I was thinking the same thing about that woman. I could only take a little of her. Don’t know why he keep bringing these Politico folks on his show.
Maybe she is his mistress?
For someone who reminds his audience that he wrote a book called The Obama Hate Machine, he sure manages to have enough ‘reporters’ who have a smarmy attitude toward PBO. I, for one, don’t need this stinkin’ ‘balance’. PBO bashing is rampant everywhere else on the news and we don’t need it on progressive media.
Hey, if there is a substantive discussion on how and when to withdraw from Afghanistan or differing opinions from health care policy experts, I think those are conversations worth having. But those barely veiled attacks and insults meant to minimize our President’s accomplishments and otherwise demean him — we don’t need that shit on progressive media. Press considers himself one of the ‘reporters’ and surrounds himself with that media beltway crowd.
Good morning everyone. Raining cats and dogs and horses in New York. That bespactacled AA woman is the token. Trust me she is being paid big money. If he needs another token I am available. Would take his money and send it to the Obama’s campaign. But first I’d have to think of a disguise. I’d be too ashmamed to have folks see me sitting there.
first?
Oregonian, hanging out in the Swiss Boonies (should go searching for Mitt’s accts just like amk and his search for the “certificate.”). I have been lurking here for a long time. Every day my husband asks, “so have you joined the ladies on the naughty mat.” He made fun of me for all the antics here but the other day I grabbed his iPad to check something and what was open the TOD site.
🙂
Busted! HA!
your hubby is a “closeted” member of TODville !!! One word for him – busted (in a good way)!!
“Busted (in a good way)!!”
😆 😆 😆
He so totally is. He comes here now for his news. I think it would bug him when he tells me something “newsy” and I say, “oh, I know, I already read it on TOD.”
HA! 🙂
yeah, he’s competitive 🙂
How PBO can go from all these difficult and stressful meeting straight to Joplin to deliver another speech is truly beyond me. He has superman stamina. Amazing.
I believe jackie, that it is because 1: he is so focussed and dedicated, and 2: it’s because so many millions of us love him and have his back, and somehow he knows it! We are so blessed to have him on Earth, at this critical time.
Chips – The Obama team’s new ad ?
The Bain one amk? I have it in the post – is there another one I’ve missed?? (Morning!)
Yeah. It wasn’t there when I posted it (Ha quicker than you… for once). 🙂
Morning to you.
Yeah, but even with your timezone advantage you still did a Man United – finished second.
Yeeeah, tell me about it. But I swear when I posted it, there were zero comments.
/Shakes fist at proudmemberofglobalzero.
But nothing he said mattered as much as these words: “The Afghan war, as we understand, it is over” with the withdrawal of ground forces at the end of 2014, he told journalists.
“Combat will end at the stroke of midnight,” on Dec. 31, 2014, added retired Gen. Douglas Lute, Obama’s deputy national security adviser — when a reporter asked whether the president had meant it.
Politico-
” when a reporter asked whether the president had meant it.”
Grrr…..Press…titutes…….trying to undermine the President’s statement……..
Perfect. Glad the military is on board with the prez.
Good morning all.
Morning Suzette, morning everyone 😉
I wanted to say thanks to Miss Chips for this site. You have kept me from “the pit of despair.” Thanks to everyone here! You provide something truly incredible here. I love the family fights/arguments because they are also important…that is how we persuade and change minds and get people to rethink certain positions. So a big family hug to everyone!!!
Great to see you here CJ, thanks a million for dropping by. Just watch out for amk, he’s a bit nuts.
lol Chips….poor amk
🙂 Morning ChristiMTL!
Good morning Chips and everyone 🙂
Wow this is a nice pic of the President….
As usual, his schedule is insane today….the hardest working man in Washington bar none.
He has the energy of a 20 years old.
It’s very impressive.
I’ll wear that honor with pardonable pride. Every blog needs its clown. 🙂
yeah, I know…. 🙂
What ? Already ? Guess my reputation precedes me. 🙂
Oh, amk, we should all know by know that any lurker knows more about us than we can imagine! There they are, reading away, laughing out loud, until they can’t stand not commenting anymore, and TaDa! they venture forth to add to the fun and the power of words! It is my hope (that word again) more and more people will come forth from silence so that our Voice grows louder and louder!
You betcha. Also. Too.
Good Morning TOD Family, hello Pamela. You are so right, it is so much fun to visit this wonderful place as often as I can to feel the love, friendship and deep determination as Comrades-in-Arms for this wonderful man President Barack Obama to be re-elected in November.
For me personally i felt part of the family but was unsure if I could really add anything other than words to this campaign, this time around. I felt that in whatever way I can participate as a foreigner I must do so, I felt compelled to “delurk” and let you all know that there are voices calling out silently to you in support from my little Island, encouraging you in your fight for this once in a lifetime individual. I personally feel that he belongs to the World, and i think when he is on the World stage you can clearly see that that is so.
Have a great day everyone.
“I personally feel that he belongs to the World, and i think when he is on the World stage you can clearly see that that is so.”
I couldn’t agree with you more, 1jam. Thanks for delurking and joining in the fun. Hope to see you again… soon and often.
Just for that, I should post another mcp joke.
I’m nearly afraid to ask ….. what’s an mcp joke? 😕
google mcp.
Microsoft Certified Professional. Minecraft Coder Pack. Maritime Communications Partner. Melissa Carris Perry. 😕
LOL. Ok, we will go with the first one and go for a nerd joke.
You forgot Molycorp, Inc.!
Melissa Carris Perry? lol
🙂 Melissa Carris Perry…hahahahahahahaha!!! I love this place…..
Moooooooooorning Desertflower!!!!!!
Morning, Chips! You’ve got a rowdy crew here this morning…and some new friends have come to join us! Splendid!
Chips, it REALLY stands for Meet Crappy Press!
Ah ha, that makes more sense!!! 🙂
I was about to ask that too but I was afraid…you are much braver than I, I bow to you.
but this family is cool that way…the nice crazies are allowed to play. 😛
Turns out that Cory Booker is not quite the Superman that we thought, but as many have said it doesn’t discount the good stuff that he has done or said. I did find it ironic that in the same MTP interview, Cory was plenty gracious towards the NJ Governor;
“On Christie, Booker artfully dodged a direct question from Gregory on the governor’s potential national ambitions and qualifications.
“Is he qualified to be president?” he asked Booker of Christie in an earlier segment of the roundtable.
“I’ll say this, he’s as qualified — if not more — than all the other names I’m hearing being mentioned,” Booker said.
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/05/booker_criticizes_obama_campai.html
At this point, I will continue to admire Booker for his laudable stances but Superman has lost his cape and Booker looks more like an ordinary, ambitious politician to me.
See Chips’ devastating pic in the last post. She is mean.
I tweeted Mr. Booker, it was the first time I felt compelled to tweet in this manner. I just thought that he of all people should not have made the, “the two parties do it” argument.
I wonder if what his buddy Chris Christie said about the President this weekend is nauseating to him?
“He is the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime,” Christie told some 600 Kentucky Republicans at a Lexington hotel. “This is a guy who literally is walking around in a dark room trying to find the light switch of leadership.”
Yea,….great potential….attack attack attack…..lies….
THAT is nauseating….
Not an ad about Bain.
I’m done with that guy, he can continue to do his ”funny” videos with Chris Christie for all I care…..he’s not to be trusted.
here is my comeback for that pompus idiot christie:
Well, if PBO has managed to accomplish all his done with what you lie as “ill-prepared” imagine what more he is going to do AFTER 4 years of direct experience in the Presidency!!!
No kidding….he has done a remarkable job…..I can’t even imagine what he could have done more if he didn’t have to face an insane opposition and blue Dogs in his own party.
That’s what I also say. He’s too close to Christie for my comfort. As I posted before, there are some dems in NJ who cozy up to Christie. In my book they are traitors because they are not doing it for the people but for their own political power.
This comment is out of order and refers to Christie and Booker not the president’s accomplishments.
Hi Diane, I don’t know why that happens sometimes, comments appearing in the wrong place – VERY annoying!
If I write a reply, then cancel it, ( on iPad), but do not erase it first, when I reopen the reply field later, it hasn’t cleared and the original comment will post if I don’t change it. Not sure if this applies to laptop or desktops
Well, Harold Ford supports him. So Booker still has 2 friends.
🙂 Morning Dotster 😉
Exactly. If booker had had any balls, he should have called that fat fucker ‘nauseating’ what with his arrogant tone and lies.
So a guy who’s been serving less than two years as governor thinks he knows more about leadership than the president of the U.S. Guess the stuff that bloats him is hot air. Here’s Christie’s idea of leadership: yell, insult people, start wars, slap down anyone who disagrees with you. The president handles himself with grace and supreme intelligence so to a loudmouth bully like Christie he’s not a leader. And Cory Booker thinks he’s qualified to be president? Tells you all you need to know about CB’s lack of intelligence and need to pander.
Well we have to know who are friends are, and Cory Booker showed he wasn’t a friend of the Obama campaign. And as for that thing which is Governor of New Jersey, he is just a fat ass bully, but Booker thinks he’s qualified to be President. Says alot about our so call friend Cory Booker, doesn’t it.
If that foolish statement was even remotely accurate, PBO would not have been elected in the first place. I see this as self- descriptive, for who better demonstrates walking around in a dark room (mentally) than someone who would say this out loud? Yadda, yadda, yadda, STFU, mr. Big man.
A FACT-FILLED ad about Bain, to be clear.
And it wasn’t an attack on private capital, it was an attack on (are you listening, Chris Christie?) the most ill-prepared man running for the Presidency saying that the way private capitalists run their business is the model for for how to fix a national economy.
But by all means, let’s be pure and STFU.
Asshole. Go grow up, Cory Booker.
Me too. I am done with Booker and I used to be an admirer. He was sent by Christie and followed orders. Just another hurry come up trying to win favors. He messed up big time and he knows it. Trying to get his foot out his mouth and it just got stuck in his throat. I hope he chokes.
That’s exactly what he is, Edwina. He’s an ordinary, ambitious politician who put his own ego ahead of his loyalty to his party and the president. He chose to lie down with the dogs and the fleas will never wash off of him. No matter how much CB tries framing his actions in lofty language, but the deed is done, the damage not recoverable. If he thinks his new BFF, Christie won’t use him up and spit him out, he’s more naive than I thought he was.
Perhaps they are blinded by the thought of a Christie/Booker ticket in 2016? Except there will no longer BE a republican party to run for.
As Bill Press said this morning, he has proven himself not ready for prime time.
I believe he was more interested in campaign cash from Wall St. and the banksters than he was in a utopian Clean Campaign (go work for Russ Feingold if you’re that pure).
Good Morning Todville family
I was really surprised at Cory Baker’s defense of Rob-ney and his fat friend Gov. “Krispy Kreme” Christie.
Maybe Cory is a blue dog? I kinda thought that when he partnered with that “no labels'” out fit.
He’ s still a good man though
relellit, do we know each other, because that is my nickname for Christie, “Krispy Kreme”.
It’s nature’s way.
We can now add to that, that Americans of the white variety, are going to be in the minority. Soon. This is the Republicans LAST BIG SHOT, and they know it!
Illinois is one of 22 states and D.C. which join Montana in the challenge against the Sup. Ct.’s democracy-destroying Citizen United decision.

Excellent.
And relating to this—-Colbert sells 1000 instruction manuals on how to set up your own super pac, where underneath the jokes makes clear “the insane amount of money” that is pouring into and damaging our democracy. I like that the instruction kits come with a canned ham which resembles Karl Rove.
http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/21/news/economy/colbert-super-pac/index.htm?iid=HP_LN
fascinating. rt’d
You’re showing a disappointing lack of sympathy towards Snark, amk, the man has a hole in his screen – be compassionate.
Both knollers will get it if they go astray. No pity shall be shown.
You’re a terror, amk.
Well Team,
I think that the many of us who were upset with what Cory Booker said yesterday, we have a chance to do something more about it.
How about if we grab this as our opportunity to educate our friends and voters as to WHY we were upset?
Please do this by sharing the video that Chips highlights above. It presents a better testimony of ordinary people saying what most of us cannot specifically say which is they are the direct victims of mitt the bullying liar and his attack on th middle class for personal benefit..
so please spread the word under the comment: this is WHY is Mitt the bullying liar’s time at Bain nauseating
Thanks globalcitizenlinda for this excellent suggestion. The video is very effective.
Oooops:
Out of more than 50,000 donors who wrote checks for other GOP candidates like Gingrich, Santo and Gov. Rick Perry since the start of the nomination race, fewer than 600 appeared to donate to Romney in April.

But but, GOPolitico told me…
Ha, true! Hellooooooooo Hopefruit!
how does the meme go, “that’s good news for McCain.”
Frankly at this point, gop might prefer that old nut.
The RNC dumped All their fortunes into the New Joint Fundraising venture, made it seem like Robney raised all that money in April.
Shrewd, very shrewd!
Thanks, jovie! I had read that it was unclear if those monies would be included in the total and then I hadn’t heard if that transfer had happened or it if was an apples-to-apples comparison with PBO and the DNC.
I hate the fact that Cory Booker made him self the punch line.. But I have been reading he gets a lot of financial assistance from Wall Street which to me makes him a sell-out to his constituents.
What makes me sick to my stomach is a rich dude who bankrupted companies and had taxpayers pick-up the tab for their pensions… What makes me sick to my stomach is Cory Booker’s attak on the workers who have the right to speak up and often about the abuse they faced at the hands of Bain Capital.
Cory Booker are you drunk from all the attention you have received? Maybe you should keep away from the clown Governor in your state because he’s making you look like a chump..
What makes me sick, Michele, is someone who does something underhanded and rotten to placate his Wall Street backers and then acts all noble about it, as if he were simply practicing a higher morality. That’s the most ‘nauseating’ part of it and shows him to be a freaking hypocrite.
And David Gregory used him!
Good Morning TOD family. You all seem to be sooo happy today. Great spirit. Imagine I can feel it all the way in the Caribbean.
Yay! Snark is up and running. I love “NATO fundraisers”. That Sneaky Bad Obama!
He’s even crankier than usual this morning, Dotster 😕
Ok, now that I have come out of the lurking closet, I just went and officially followed Snark.
woot, woot.
DRIVING THE DAY — “NATO to endorse Afghan exit plan,” by David Brunnstrom and Missy Ryan, of Reuters: “NATO leaders will endorse plans to hand over combat command in Afghanistan by mid-2013 on Monday and seek practical progress in opening routes to bring an international army of more than 130,000 back home from an unpopular, resource-draining war.” More here: http://reut.rs/K299zi
Paging Chuck Todd…
FYI: The PBS In Performance at the WH in honor of Burt Bacharach & Hal David airs tonight. Check your local listings.
Oooh.. thanks Janelle for the reminder. Two great PBO-related things tonight! Our President’s commencement address AND the PBS show 🙂 My DVR will be buzzing.
Okay, TODville, thank you for the warm welcome. Wishing you all a very pleasant, happy and balance day. I am off to yoga class, unlike my president my inner balance does not come natural, so off to practice I go. Tschuss
good morning TOD family.
Since I live on the North Side and not downtown Chicago I can’t complain about anything when it comes down to the Nato Summit.We’ve seen a lot of protesters take the Red Line (train) heading downtown
Had a wonderful weekend with mom who was off and took her to dinner and we saw the Avengers.I recommend it,very funny movie too surprisingly 😀
I saw Cory Booker yesterday and I keep thinking about one thing and for anyone who remembers this show here in the US: The Mole
I can’t help but doubt him now and don’t see myself ever trusting him again.Can anyone check to see how much $ he is taking and whom is he taking that $ from?
If I could suggest one thing to the Obama campaign and that is to check those “surrogates” thoroughly to make sure that they are loyal from now until November
Anyway I hope everyone is doing well.
Take good care everyone
Chips thanks for this site
Until next time,or unless something comes up
Fred 😉
MTP asked Him to be on, after Booker released a Statement saying he was against the Bain attacks.
The Campaign did not put Booker out there, he is Not a Co -chair, and he does not work for the Campaign.
Now why would a mayor release a statement to the press about any presidential ad from his own party? The guy’s ego is exploding.
Hi, Fred:) SO glad to hear that you and your mom had a great weekend! Things seem to be coming around for you….great news!
Fred, you in the burbs or the North side of the city? I’m on the North side of the city.
I live by Berwin/Broadway/Sheridan 😀
ok I really have to go but I’ll be right back in about an hour
hi fred. good to see you.
Hee!
Perfect!
Priorities USA raised 1.6 million in April.
Good or bad, jovie ? You’re pissing me off with these riddles.
If you Play it out, they will have a total of about 25 million, to do battle with roves 300 million!
Bad! Very bad.
Unless it picks up, this super PAC is weak in comparison!
As long as turd blossom blows all that money in dirty, lying attack ads and not on surreptitious GOTV, me not worried much.
David Gregory is a lite weight, and this is why NBC will always be last with viewers…
Robney Suoer PAC raised 4.6 million in April!
FEC filing says 3.85
Why the difference ?
They spent some money.
Factories begin to shift back to US
Two-thirds of big US manufacturers have moved factories in the past two years, with the most popular destination being the US, according to a survey being released on Monday by Accenture, the consultants.
The report provides some of the first industry-wide empirical evidence of “reshoring,” the trend of jobs once outsourced to low-cost emerging economies being brought back to the US.
[snip]
Some 65 per cent of the senior executives questioned by Accenture said they had moved their manufacturing operations in the past 24 months, with two-fifths saying the facilities had been relocated to the US. China was the second destination for relocated factories, with 28 per cent, followed by Mexico with 21 per cent.
Rich Bergmann, managing director of Accenture’s manufacturing practice, said the respondents cited freight and the speed of fulfilling orders as their main motivators for moving factories. The survey demonstrated that manufacturers are increasingly moving production closer to end-markets, he said.
“There is evidence here of reshoring because of transportation costs and lead times,” Mr Bergmann said. “The global supply chain allows you to chase lower cost of labour, but the total costs are reflected in the decision on where you produce for a given geography.”

Good Morning All!
Twitter is still buzzing about Cory Booker. Some “Leave Cory Alone” comments but mostly the spanking he deserves. Welcome to national politics Cory Booker!
:). Yes, welcome indeed.
Yeah. What a shocker.
Josh at TPM is only too happy to stir the pot.
I posted it mainly for HC’s Yeah, so there’s that.. 🙂
Oh!
I told you? Morning Joke and David Gregory are Campaining for Robney!
This DLC Crowd, was all a Plan.
Of course he agrees. He made his money from Wall Street.
Harold Ford is a spineless coward.
Brawawawawawawa… We Told You That, Harold, YESTERDAY! So Damn preDICtable!
The Bain ad above is terrific. Spread it far and wide. I hope the Obama team doubles down on these ads and keeps knocking them out so they reach every state. My favorite line”Romney doesn’t care about middle class or lower class people.” Should be stamped on Willard’s forehead. Should be the first and only thing people think of when they see or hear the guy. The woman who said he “looks” like he only cares about rich people was right on. Good piece.
Believe it or not, Chuck Todd played it and said the Obama campaign is doubling down!
Please see Edward Kennedy’s ad that has some of the same former employees. Chips maybe you post both side by side…
I wonder if Teddy told the President, before he Passed on, that he will be facing Robney and to hit Him hard with the Bain ads?
http://takemycountryback.com/open-letter-world/
On Romney’s speech at Liberty Univ:
First a little background: This was a speech given by a guy named Mitt Romney. You might have heard of him. He is this really wealthy, white dude from a very liberal state in our northeastern region. He has been trying to win the Presidency for some time and was recently given the chance to try.
Anyway, he was at this so-called university over the weekend to talk to their graduating class. While talking to them he said some stuff about marriage. Why, you ask? Well, you see in this country marriage is held in the highest regard, so much so that we need to be reminded of it from time to time. It is so beloved, in fact, that many of the candidates who were running for President have been married numerous times.
Buh-bye, y’all! Work awaits, and Monday is a busy day! BBL. I miss SUE DUVALL SMITH, do you hear that, SUE? 🙂
I miss Sue, too!!!!
Robney read the polls and suddenly backs the Presidents Afghanistan plan.
That is not what he said, during the Primary!
Dharun Ravi’s sentencing is today for spying on Tyler Clementi. I am nervous and also conflicted because I want some consequences but not sure what would be just.
Jesse Jackson? Really? He gives concern Troll a whole new meaning!
I love Smartpants:)

Easy Monday: FDA bill, nomination in the Senate
By Pete Kasperowicz
The Senate meets at 2 p.m. to debate the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation act, S. 3187, and may hold a procedural vote later in the day.
At 4:30 p.m., the Senate will start considering the nomination of Paul Watford to be a U.S. Circuit Judge for the 9th Circuit. At 5:30 p.m., senators will hold a roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture (end debate) on the nomination.
Sounds to me, that Rasmussen is Irish?
Anyone?
dutch.
Thanks. Cool accent!
I thought it was a Danish name.
Yep – Rasmussen is Danish.
Just had fun @ barackobama.com by clicking away. We are 5,425 donors in 2012 with the same first name! 58,122 2012 donors from MD. 5 astrophysicists in Maryland have donated to the campaign.
OK, I better get back to work! 🙂
Of course everyone knew it was coming, but Yahoo’s top story when you open to check e-mail is Obama supporter calls Bain ads nauseating. For those few who still don’t get it at how big the knife was in the back of PBO. It was a huge betrayal.
New post everyone:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/05/21/photos-the-2012-whcd/
I love my president, but I’ve got to say throwing either a football and baseball are so not his thing. He just looks so awkward with the throw, bless him.
jacobslily, His game is basketball, he looks like a natural with a basketball in his hand.
Doesn’t look awkward in my book. He could throw my football any day. (actually thinks he looks pretty natural)
Let’s see, Tom Brady throwing a football or POTUS. Let POTUS keep the basketball.
Yeah, I guess I don’t know from football ’cause PObama looked mighty fine with his tie flying, to me!
You’re right about that. He looks just fine w/ the basketball though.
