Awesome. Have a great weekend 🙂
Yes you did!
Thanks Chips. Nice throwback. Can’t wait for the repeater. Have a great weekend.
Chipsticks you left out this important part……..November 6th 2012.
😉
Hell Yeah! 😀
Awww, the previous election …

Now note the time at the bottom (9:25:19, assume EST). Thats 3:25 AM CET.
I went to bed that night at 5:15 CET, only to arrive at work in time for lunch.
Could you guys speed this up a bit, coming November 6th ?

Love these pics! Chips, can you please post this on one of your posts? Thank you!
That’s the next post DF, thanks 😉
Thank you, sweet. Important stuff.
Honestly, Fuck the Job Numbers. Myra’s smile made me smile.
This is high on my list of why I love PBO. He stopped, he posed for pictures, he left a personal message, and he made Myra’s day and my day, too.
I really hope that Jonah Goldberg’s big mouth finally gets him in hot water.

The goodbye party for horrific teabagger Joe Walsh cannot happen soon enough
Whoooaaa that’s disgusting……..vile racist
That S.O.B. piece of trash Joe Walsh have got some nerve, African Americans are not dependent on government. You have some up there just like whites. Many AA have and are working hard. This racists dead beat Dad is a disgrace to the human race..
People like Joe Walsh is the reason why are economy is in the shape it is in. These racists ass tea baggers were determined they were not going to work with that black President, they didn’t care if the economy fell apart. They will destroy this country just so they can get what they want. My hope is that the American people will not be fool by them.
It’s a blatant right wing racist stereotype and the Rep should be better than that in not repeating it. It’s amazing how Black people have become the GOP’s punching bag yet the GOP still wonder why they can’t get their votes.
Sad how low the GOP has sunk. But I’m sure it’s allll Obama’s fault …..somehow.
Isn’t it just the other way around ? I think (at least nationally) the Government is dependent on the Latino and African American vote (now, if combined, a quarter of the electorate).
[ Disclosure: I am a huge fan of Tammy Duckworth, given how she came back to serve her country in a different role. ]

George Zimmerman’s bond has been revoked in the Trayvon Martin shooting case.
Zimmerman has 72 hours to turn himself in.
Judge revokes George Zimmerman’s bond in Trayvon Martin killing; gives him 72 hours to surrender
I believe it’s 48 hrs, not 72.
YES!!

Chipsticks – I didn’t get nutting for being First on the last thread 😦
Sorry GGail, it’s been a crazy day!!

What a darling photo!
I love that pic! It’s Infectious! 🙂
Well, PBO will be back home soon. It’s kind of dreary here today, but I got something that should warm him up. That’s why he wasn’t at all down about the job numbers, he knew I’d make it all batter. Like a mother hen…check that….more like a cougar…cluck, cluck, meow.
If by home, you mean AZ; you’re right.
And it won’t be that our wicked witch of the west that will be greeting him on the tarmac 🙂
I’m so lost. What do you mean? He’s not coming here…..is he?
Chi-town at about 5:20. Just in time for rush hour. We’ll be staying at the house tonight after the event at the cultural center and the 2 fundraisers at private homes. He won’t be here long, leaves tomorrow. So much to do…so little time…sigh
Ok! Got it:) Thanks,cookemom…I thought I was loosin’ it!
Aaaaa….A moment of zen or whatever
Robney Team saying to the National media that they are mad, mad at them for not being able to define Willard.
Then, while he had paid staff(admittedly) run to The Axelrod event, he was saying that Obama supporters(who??? OWS?) was doing the same to Him.
I have seen this strategy for a while now.
Accuse the other Guy of resorting to cheap tricks or if that Person has a disadvantage, play the victim, before the other Guy does.

Hatred of the President is right…..it’s quite disturbing
A video and song by one of our local activists, today we need this
POTUS is all smiles today!!! Love these photos.
Me too.
They want to see him downtrodden and sad and he doesn’t give them the satisfaction.
I love my president.
POTUS is the best remedy…..
POTUS is not giving up and we better not either, to HELL with the cable chatter and pundits.

I wish I knew what Obama was really thinking – if he was confident he still had this or if there was some doubt. He’s a good poker player, you can’t read his face, even if, deep down, he’s terrified things are going in the wrong direction for his campaign. He’s not like Romney, who becomes increasingly agitated when things don’t go his way, or it looks like he’s in trouble. Obama, even in ’08, carried a smile, regardless of what was happening and what the polls said.
Then again, maybe I don’t want to know! heh
Blah
He and Michelle have always said that he never gets too high, nor too low about anything. He has a unique gift of compartmentalizing. He attended the press dinner, laughed and made fun of Chump, while knowing the his order to have Navy Seals go get Bin Laden could have tremendous fallout. He catches flies mid-air, while giving an interview. I think it has to do with being from Hawaii, away from the crazy of the mainland.
DI…..
i do not think he is terrified….how do i know….consider….
this from the man who decides each and every target in the war against Al Kiada…this from the man who stares down the G8 or the G20….this from the man who stared down the Donald…

just a lil bit of it…
And on that note, do you know what makes Barack Obama such a great President? He doesn’t do this crap. He doesn’t give up, he doesn’t wring his hands and collapse into a fetal position under the Oval Office Desk. He’s a level headed man who, as I type this, is probably meeting with economic advisers and campaign staff, working out strategies and floating around ideas to win this election and improve this economy.

Well… I just make a mistake and turned on the TV…..what did I see …..Eric Can’tor’s lying face.

Kornacki… “This is a good week for Romney…”
Because the jobs numbers are bad ????.
Yeah, I’m not watching TV News for a while now. It’s going to be ugly until…
1) A poll comes out showing Obama with a healthy lead on Romney, thus killing the narrative that he’s going to be damaged badly by this economic news.
2) June’s job report next month proves to be a boost for Obama.
3) I don’t know…
…
4) Obama beats the crap out of Willard on November 6th.
I don’t want to wait that long! I want to breathe between now and November.
or you could just stay drunk til then, in which case we’ll shake you when it’s over….breathing is not optional.
Just how I fly. 😉
Okay, own up, who’s the TODer??

Hmmm….I spy with my lil’ eye someone beginning with “C.”

cookemom – are u in this pic???!!!!!!
Well, it could be me with a bit more sunshine, but no, it’s not me. We decided back when he was in the Senate that it was best not meet in public. Wouldn’t want to get that whole Clinton thing started again doncha know.
