What a lovely scene – everyone is smiling. Thanks Chips!
Great photo – thank you Chips. I love seeing PBO with children and old people – you can tell he likes being around them because they’re not phony – just themselves. It must be such a relief after all the sniping and, perhaps, even some sucking up in washington DC.
I adore this picture.
For a moment I thought that the little girl was a young Malia!
Congrats on Firts HF2 and you have a great Friday and weekend. I will look forward to some real good wisdome from all the TOD’ers this weekend.

Your a messenger of the finite spirit of love, compassion and oh so fun! You are what makes the world spin! Lov u. Pauline

ROMNEY IMMIGRATION POLICY: PERHAPS THE WRONG SPEECH WAS LOADED INTO THE TELEPROMPTER
He forgot to mention ‘self-deportation’
By Steve Benen
—————————-
But if he avoided a position on the goals of the DREAM Act, and chose not to address all of the positions he took before securing his party’s nomination, what is Romney’s position on immigration policy? As Adam Serwer reported, “Heading into the general election, Romney’s position on immigration now sounds more like a relationship status on Facebook: It’s complicated.”
The Romney campaign suggested this week that Romney’s speech to NALEO would finally fill in the gaps, making it clear what the candidate would do if elected. If so, perhaps the wrong speech was loaded into Romney’s teleprompter — we still have no idea what he intends to do about the millions of undocumented immigrants already living in the United States.

Have you Guys ever noticed that Environmentalists are Purists?
They Never focus on what the President has done, only what he has not done!
Sadly!
Woke up thinking what is going on with these people who are meeting in Utah tomorrow: they have no apparent sense of gratitude, for anything. Then though how fitting they chose the same date Gratefulness.org is holding their summit called Pathways to Gratefulness tomorrow as well. I’m hoping enough people will light candles tomorrow, real ones and virtual ones, to balance out the darkness and hate that will be emanating from that ‘retreat’ in Utah tomorrow. http://pathways.gratefulness.org/ Bye everyone, lots to do before work today, hugs all around! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{TODObots}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Thank you for this information. I will be lighting a candle!
This is for the previous thread’s picture of the President and Bo: I love that picture, and I love all pictures of the family with Bo. He just looks so relaxed with Bo. There’s something about running fingers through that soft doggie fur that is relaxing. When I pet and pat our poodle, who has much the same kind of fur as Bo, the world slips away, and everything is ok. That’s the look the President has on his face, and I’m so glad he has Bo. And, I’m so glad Bo has easy access to the Oval Office…….he’s needed there!
POLITICIANS IN ROBES
John Roberts Is Just a Liar
by Michael Tomasky
——————————-
Count this if you must as my attempt to “intimidate” John Roberts, but I was reading back through his statements about stare decisis at his hearings. What a liar.
.
.
Roberts–and Alito–simply lied. Balls and strikes. Right. They are politicians in robes, nothing more.

The Taliban just seized a Hotel in Afghanistan- 20 dead.
Here we go again!
Seven Taliban militants shot their way into a resort near Kabul on Friday, taking scores of hostages before security forces ended the siege and killed the attackers, officials said.
“Resort”. Wonder who goes to a resort in Taliban country?
Some areas of Kabul ate very lush, corruption with US money!
Private Security and Cameras all over…
Now that many polls seem to NOT be in Romney’s favor, here’s lil’ Nate to set us straight and remind us of the “house effects” which are biasing the polls. Note that in his little graphic, he indicates that PPP and a few others are even more slanted towards Obama than the FOX/Rassmussen are slanted towards Romney.
Does he check himself, too?
I’m sadly not a Nate Silver fan anymore as he so underutilizes his primetime space at NYT for silly or unnecessary polling information and when he could provide real proof of GOP bs he doesn’t. However this is one article that I find useful and tend to agree with. Personally I always shave off about 3 off PPP. Recent example of that is PPP had Walker on Sunday night before the Tuesday election up by only 3 and he won by 7. Wisconsin should have been fairly easy to poll relative to other elections.
DARRELL ISSA’S SELECTIVE AMNESIA
Fringy Fraud: Darrell Issa’s Fast and Furious Exposed
By Sarah Jones
——————————–
Jerry Markon and Sari Horwitz of The Washington Post had more sources who contradicted Issa’s alleged memory of that briefing:
A chief Republican critic of a controversial U.S. anti-gun-trafficking operation was briefed on ATF’s “Fast and Furious” program last year and did not express any opposition, sources familiar with the classified briefing said Tuesday.
Rep. Darrell Issa (Calif.), who has repeatedly called for top Justice Department officials to be held accountable for the now-defunct operation, was given highly specific information about it at an April 2010 briefing, the sources said. Members of his staff also attended the session, which Issa and two other Republican congressmen had requested.
Issa was there and expressed no opposition to Fast and Furious? Who is going to drag Issa before a committee to answer what he knew and when? No one, that’s who. Democrats won’t do it even if they get back into power.

ROMNEY “ON COLLISION COURSE” WITH SOME GOP GOVERNORS
Florida’s Scott ignores Romney’s advice
By Steve Benen
———————————-
Remember, it’s not just Florida. Maddow Blog has been documenting the trend for over a month, but as other news outlets pick up on this, we see the examples of conflict between Romney and his ostensible gubernatorial allies grow. The New York Times reports today that the Republican presidential nominee is “on a collision course” with GOP governors in states like Virginia, Ohio and Iowa. The Daily Beast noted the concerns in Wisconsin, too.

Re tweet that one!
To Lis Smith…
Oh dear. The Latinos are gonna “love that”!
Hi there Os! Another great getting up day in TODtown! I do believe my newly named perennials are fighting back. These weeds just refuse to toe the line. I think they threw some poison ivy at me in retaliation. I took Benedryl for the strange cluster of little very itchy bumps that suddenly appeared all over. I knew I was in trouble when I started reading the black spaces between the words on TOD, instead of the words themselves. I missed pretty much all of yesterday, out like a light. I still itch all over but no more benedryl for me. I’ve tried everything topical from calamine lotion to cortisone cream, but so far the only thing that comes close to working is apple cider vinegar and Monistat 7.
My political take today is that if we continue to attenuate the positive here and whenever we speak to our friends/families/strangers, our message will be more meaningful. This election will be decided by undecideds, so let’s get them to the polls encouraged by the good news of what PBO has done and will do for them. Remember we have facts on our side.
attenuate? must be lingering affect of the benedryl.
I once had a very bad case of poison oak and it nearly drove me insane. Hope the itching and swelling calm down very, very soon. Until then, stay out of the bushes!
Yeah, the itch is torture, but I won’t let it get the best of me. I’m formulating a counter attack. Will strike back with my weed elimination arsenal. Gonna start off with my trusty weed whacker, followed by a full fledged assault of chemical warfare. That’ll teach them to mess with me.
oy, cookemom, watch out for weed whackers. They spray small pieces of poison ivy that can fly all over the place. I hate chemicals, but I always use them in pivy.
Aveeno bath!!! It’s oatmeal…so then you could be an Oatmeal Cookemom!!
Fell off my chair. That is priceless.
Go to your Primary and ask for medication!
I would but this is a fight I’m gonna have to conquer on my own. This is war. It started when I redefined the weeds growing profusely in my yard. I started calling them perennials so that they would be more easily acceptable. They felt insulted and have banded together in revolt of my efforts. No, no doctor for me. I’m gonna Rambo them. Operation Weed and/or Bleed underway!
cookemom – sorry about the itching! Good message from ya: stay positive, whether we attenuate or accentuate. 🙂
Good morning everyone; Friday’s good!
Looking forward to PBO’s address to the same group and to contrasting his message and the crowd’s reaction to Robme’s.
Latino voter enthusiasm up, key indicator for Obama in key states

Without the Medicaid expansion, there’ll be 16 million to 20 million people who won’t be added to the Medicaid rolls starting in 2014 — and billions in federal funding for the coverage expansion won’t be there.

I would like for everything to be upheld!
TGIF! Goooood morning all 🙂 and TY Chips for all that you do! :-).
Looking forward to his NALEO speech!

yup, I’m watching 🙂
Such an exhilarating way to start the day!
Our President looks pumped and ready to do Tampa proud! Marine 1 and AF1 love their President!
Isn’t this the third visit to FL in the last two months ? They must be confident of retaining the state in nov.
Yes. And yet, Willard lied yesterday and said that the last time PBO made a trip to Florida was during his 2008 campaign.
Completely insane. As if Floridians couldn’t figure out that would be a lie.
Jeebuz, how easily he lies and how easily he gets away with it.
And that’s why the MSM decided to focus instead on the “tone” of his speech, rather than the substance or accuracy. Because were they to do the latter, they would have no choice but to FLUNK that entire speech, and they love to give Romney high passing grades for doing shoddy work!!
Mark Knoller will keep the score for you …
Huh ?
I see Politico has gotten rid of their one black guy—WH reporter Joe Williams suspended for telling a truth about Willard—–that he is only comfortable, comparatively speaking, in the company of a certain kind of people (white variety). Politico was really mad about that truthful slippage—-only flattering stuff for Willard allowed.
http://www.mediaite.com/online/politico-suspends-white-house-reporter-for-racially-tinged-remarks-about-mitt-romney/
OMG……
It wasn’t a “racially tinged remark” It was an honest appraisal of Mitt Romney’s racially-tinged political strategies.
True
WOW! Just WOW! I am speechless..:( 😦 😦
Romney’s the one who’s racially tinged.
Okay, Joe Williams,follow the clues and connect the dots and get to heck out of that biased racist sewage called politico.
Good morning everyone. I really liked Joe Williams because he was always fair in his analysis. Sometimes I could not believe that he worked for Pokitico. How dare they? I hope that he move on to a better position somewhere else.
Three things that stand out in West Wing Week, IMO: brieg shot of PBO, HRC, and Jack Lew on the sea wall of the resort where the G20 was held nice shot of HRC putting her hand on PBO’s shoulder; at the end where members of the admin. Ken Salazar (I adore him), Katherine Sibellius, and Susan Rice are playing basketball with a women’s team in celebration of Title IX, and the fast forward shot that showed the G20 group getting ready for the family photo that showed PBO’s innteraction with his two favorite pIme Ministers Angela Merkel and Julia Galliard (sp?).
PS Jay (Clark Kent) Carney looks even cuter close-up (okay, that is 4).

Mitt Romney’s immigration address before Latino leaders on Thursday didn’t appease one important constituency lining up behind comprehensive immigration reform: evangelicals.
In a speech to The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) in Orlando Thursday, Romney said he would “replace” President Obama’s recent immigration policy change with something permanent and a commitment to let young immigrants who serve in the military stay in the country. While touting a commitment to legal immigration, Romney remained vague on what should be done for the millions of undocumented immigrants in the country. “I will address the problem of illegal immigration in a civil but resolute manner,” he said without further explanation.
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/06/evangelicals-romney-obama-immigration-reform-naleo.php?ref=fpb
He always sounds like some punk who’s trying to cheat on his exam. Just never has any answers and thinks mumbling will do.
I shake my head when I hear this:
” At the same time, he says that Romney has an “effective talking point” when he says that Obama had a majority in Congress for two years and did not pass comprehensive reform”
This is coming from someone who is fully immersed in issues of immigration! The DREAM Act passed in Congress and died in the Senate! It is frustrating!
I can’t wait to hear President Obama “REFRESH MEMORIES” (GOP & MEDIA) about the SENATE REPUBLICANS FILIBUSTERING the DREAM ACT in December 2010. I remember President Obama being devastated that the DREAM Act was blocked by Republicans. Of course, the Latino community knows this. That’s why I am sure they were insulted by Mitt Romney’s speech yesterday. He lied to their faces.
SENATE FAILS TO BEAT FILIBUSTER ON DREAM ACT

Funny Friday Story:
I had to go to the bank today. So off I go to deposit some checks for the Company where I work at the B of A (I know, I know I’m trying to get them to switch this account). Anyway, I get off the subway and walk up the escalator and there is this nut bag with a truck all decorated in pictures of fetuses and awful posters and bumper stickers about PBO. He is ranting and raving like something crazy. Along comes this little old woman who had to be in her nineties walking to the elevator of the subway. She stopped, looked at the guy, raised her walking cane and said, “You know you need to go sit your crazy ass down because I have lived long enough to see enough to know that PRESIDENT Obama is doing good things for this country. Now take that crazy mess on down south somewhere because we are not having it up here”. The people standing there started applauding. She made my day!!!
Thanks, D – that just put a very big smile on my face. I hope I have that kind of spunk at her age!!
OMG Meta, I laughed so hard. The way she stressed PRESIDENT when she said he was doing good was just priceless. 🙂
Heh. I just the NO NONSENSE tone. Beautiful.
That is the best story!
Yea for her!!!!!!!!! Reminded me to post this here:) Love the Ladies….
http://margaretandhelen.com/2012/06/21/vagina-is-a-6-letter-word/
For the record men don’t have one. They talk a great deal about them and pass a whole lot of legislation pertaining to them, but at the end of the day they have a wee wee not a hoo hoo. Newt Gingrich has cheated on at least two vaginas that I know of, but I think he refers to them as ex-boxes. Rush Limbaugh hates vaginas, but rumor has it he smuggles Oxycontin in his maid’s vagina so I guess he just calls it a pill box. Mitt Romney used to call them vaginas and actually gave them all the rights and privileges afforded to them under the law but now he simply refers to them as votes he has alienated.
That is so funny (and true)! They are a hoot!!!
Yes, they are:)
I love it~ Thanks Donna..glad you were there just at that time! Bless her heart!
Norquist to GOP: Respect my authority

Here’s what brought a smile to my face in Benen’s article:
“And how many of the 242 House Republicans showed up for Norquist’s in-person reminder? According to The Hill, “at most 20 members” showed up. That’s probably not the turnout he was hoping for.
[SNIP]
Put it this way: if Norquist wasn’t at least a little concerned, he wouldn’t have been on the Hill yesterday, personally lobbying lawmakers to do what he demands they do.”

Shame on Politico………I’m not surprised but disgusted……
I was reading the tweets in my TL this morning and I saw a lot of comments on David Gregory…..the spokesperson for the Romney camp.
He represents the corporate media so well….their journalism standards……it’s a travesty.
I went back to check when he was the keynote speaker at the RW group NFIB in May, if I could find a video or something….no video but I found an article….
”Premiere guests included Republican “Architect” Karl Rove, House Speaker John Boehner, and “Meet the Press” host David Gregory. Gregory took heat for being the conference’s keynote speaker, but NBC claims that doing the gig unpaid freed him from any accusations of journalistic impropriety.”
How nice, Karl Rove was there…….
Gregory’s speech talked about the need to protect small business….you know like oil companies………
How insulting is this?
Politico: “POLITICO journalists have a clear and inflexible responsibility to cover politics fairly and free of partisan bias,” –
Stinks of pox screws’ platitudes.
Major Oil Spills In Alberta Prompt Questions And Concerns About Keystone XL Pipeline
———————-
The proposed Keystone XL pipeline running from Alberta’s tar sands south to Nebraska and Texas continues to stay in the public eye. Mitt Romney gave it center stage in a campaign ad released today, and the House Republicans attempted to attach it to a drilling bill that passed yesterday.
But this week it was reported that over the past few months, a million liters (quarter million gallons) of oil from several pipelines have spilled in Alberta. Canada’s The Star reported on Wednesday that cleanup crews are working to prevent contamination from the three major oil spills:

Lucky you!!!! It’s gone down here for 11 weeks in a row…but this is AZ…so there’s no connecting the dots going on here:)
Down to $3.80 in suburban Chicago. I know, for some people that seems high but we were over $4.50 not too long ago.. And the brilliant Brain dead Joe Walsh is having a town hall meeting specifically to talk about what to do about high gas prices.
Does anybody recall that the price of oil started to slip right after a couple oil speculators were charged by the DOJ. I am sure it is just a coincidence.
Morning, TOD family. How about that Latino Decisions poll? Can’t wait to hear our President speak today. He will show Willard how it’s done.
Is Joe Williams the only African American that was working for Pollutico ?
In conversations with Democratic friends, I’ve found a lot of people who are furious at the “contempt” crap against AG Holder and are tired of being jerked around by the dimwits in Congress. So I called Nancy Pelosi’s office in DC and told the guy on the phone that if the contempt vote passes, it would mean a lot to people if Nancy would just lead the whole Democratic caucus off the floor in a ‘gesture of Democratic contempt’ for Republicants. The guy on the phone thought it was a terrific idea and I’m hoping other people could push for this as well, calling their Democratic rep, if they have one, and asking them to join in a symbolic revolt. If nothing else, a show of solidarity like this would undercut the news cycle advantage that’s so precious to the GOP. I told the guy that right now Democrats need to feel that the members of Congress “get it” when it comes to their outrage at GOP tactics.
The people in her office are very cool. Thanks for taking the time to call and making your great voice heard. I tell you, I hope this country wakes up and takes to the streets if this goes any further. ENOUGH.
And also those Dems that are running against GOPers, like Duckworth in Illinois, should join them. I am going to let her office know so that if the Dem Congresspeole walk, she should join them.
Awesome! I may call her office today and repeat what you said….I emailed her last night and questioned the ethics of Issa asking AG Holder to intentionally and purposefully break the law. I told her that maybe an ethics committee should haul Issa before the masses to answer why he would do such a thing…and strongly suggested that she needs to be removed from his Chair position because of this.
excellent jackie! We were just discussing this on a thread yesterday~ well done 🙂
Jackie G, I’ve sent an e-mail to my Representative asking her to do just that. This is an outrage.
Morning everyone. Darrell Issa has some explaining to do.
“2008: Darrell Issa Voted “YES” to Fund Project Gunrunner & Merida Initiative”
“Darrell Issa pretends he has never heard of Project Gunrunner, yet in 2008 he specifically voted to fund Project Gunrunner.
In October 2007, President Bush and Mexico’s President Calderon announced the Mérida Initiative, is a Billions of dollar aid package to support President Calderón’s war on drugs by, among other things, sending military grade weapons and helicopters to Mexico.”

Obama Outfoxes Romney
The president’s agility on gay marriage and immigration is making his rival look stodgy and unprincipled.
By Jacob Weisberg|Posted Thursday, June 21, 2012
————————–
These stratagems show every sign of paying off. Obama’s positions convey a Reaganesque sense of optimism about social change while associating Romney’s views with fear and the past. Romney, whose approach to politics has always been to rearrange his views in relation to the next election, has thus far been stymied by this rabbit-punching. He has been on the defensive, landing few blows of his own and failing to come up with any memorable proposals. His strategy seems to be to trumpet increments of bad news about the economy. That is not only a risk-averse strategy, but also a sour one. This week, Romney’s campaign reportedly asked Florida’s Republican governor to stop trumpeting his state’s economic recovery, lest the credit accrue to his opponent.

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!! TOD. Martin O’Malley is following me on twitter. GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY IS FOLLOWING ME ON TWITTER!!!!! AAAAGGHHHHH!!! 😀 😀 😀
NOW DO YOU BELIEVE US!!! You are a force to be reckoned with!! Are you just a little “Twitterpatted”????
Just goes to show that O’Malley is a man of great wisdom, intelligence and discernment. He will probably want you to join his administration when he is elected President.
that’s amazing Ut…I love him!….he’s fantastic
Sweet!
Congratulations ut ~ a well deserved follow imo 🙂
Oh wow ut – you are considered a bona fide Obama surrogate and Twitter pro with all your fact-filled tweets! As Japa and others have indicated, Martin O’Malley is a wise man of good judgment.
Me, too! {{{{SIGH}}}}
Just a thought. Doing battle on Twitter is good, but don’t let it consume you.
Learn to separate Twitter RWNJ from People who are cool, because, in always protecting the President aggressively, then we start to Hate the Righties.
And if that is what is happening, I suggest you take a break from Twitter and or other blogs.
Sometimes, just out of the blue, People on this blog will attack a fellow Poster( Sometimes that fellow poster is me), and come to find out, they were on Twitter all Day doing battle with Righties.
The problem with that is, it’s there Job, we do it out of Passion for The President, and it ends up being a behavioral modifier, for the worse and a bad habit.
Just saying!
Governor Martin O’Malley was FANTASTIC on Morning Joe today. Bloody amazing! I’ll post some tweets here and then I’ll give you guys a summary of his appearance on MoJoe.
Thanks ut! I’m proud he’s MY governor. I would enthusiastically vote for him if he ran in 2016!
All RT’d!!

I was reading a diary in kos about Ann Romney’s drugged horse. In 2010, a San Diego woman sued the trainer, his wife and Mrs. Romney for fraud,
So we know the story since it came out yesterday but I was reading the comments and one caught my attention, I went to check the link, an article in NYtimes.
”Asked if she was ever unhappy with Mr. Ebeling’s instruction (the trainer), Mrs. Romney said in a deposition in the lawsuit, “I think that is not a fair question because we all get upset at certain times with anybody that is — you know, especially a German.”
Especially a German????
The more I know about her the more I profoundly dislike her…..she is his perfect match……
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On full display, right there!
Is there any group of people she or Mitt has not insulted? Keep ’em coming ANN!
Don’t be mad Ann, get some Noodles and Chickens….
