Congratulations on #1! Please remind Chips to award you your 1st prize 🙂
Ha, ha, ha!! I’m going to be on the lookout!
HA! Good one!
😀 😀 😀
Funny LL, but you are probably right. Robney is out buying one right now. 🙂
Is this a new shirt? I do not think that I have seen him wear it before.
You guys are too much in your attention to details. I am an oldie and I rarely pay attention to clothing. But now that I reflect on Mitt Romney’s dressing, I think you have a point.
Nathkatun7, that is okay. We will take charge of the “details of POTUS shirts.” You keep doing you tremendous work in supporting like you do so beautifully. But that was the first thing that I noticed, the new shirt.
Willard will be shopping tomorrow for sure, if not already. Willard has no ideas for our future, so you no he has nothing but coping our wonderful president. But Willard forgets, it is the man in the shirt that makes the shirt look great. HZ
HZ – it was the first thing I noticed, too. I accept my addiction, gladly.
Flotus is so pretty!
Yay he got a new shirt 😀
FLOTUS looks pretty
come on POTUS shirt is fine. 🙂
I know! He went adventurous with this shirt. Very stylish.
UT, this is one of our new second terms shirts!!!! Love it, Mr. President.HZ
Brought To You By The NRA

================================
The NRA is planning to score tomorrow’s House vote on contempt for Attorney General Eric Holder. They will be checking their list twice to see if you’ve been naughty or nice, and if you’ve been naughty, they’re going to run attack ads in your distract.
.
.
Because the entire Fast and Furious witch hunt is based on the NRA conspiracy theory that says the Obama Administration started a gun-walking program, resulting in the death of an ATF agent, to justify stricter gun laws (the NRA makes no secret of this), it makes perfect since that the NRA would be threatening House members with retribution if they vote against the contempt resolution.
.
.
It’s an investigation with enormous implications, and Darrell Issa and the Republicans are channeling the fear of NRA backlash, conspiracy theories, and misinformation into congressional support for their vote of contempt.
For the Department of Justice, this a serious matter, but for the Republicans this tragic story is being used to score political points, appease NRA lobbyists, and feed the notion that the Obama administration is lawless and corrupt.
It’s disgusting.

It astounds me why any respectable person would want to score highly with an organization that is behind the “Stand Your Ground” law that killed a teenage boy. I’d wear it as a badge of honour if I scored a zero with that type of sleazy organization.
Oh wow, this is lame.
I see the creature is an intellectual heavyweight, LL:
“Obama’s change to communism is not working”
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
Yeah, I blocked the person. Hate having my TL littered with crap.
ROTFLMAO!
“Try not being in 5th grade.”
LL – I think you set the bar a bit too high for this troll!
well, your foolish troll doesn’s even know that POTUS and FLOTUS buy their most of their clothes from their private money and only get some set amount of tax payer funds for dressing
Like all the “modern” presidents before them…
These idiots think that every time the Obamas do something, it’s as if NO OTHER PRESIDENT has ever done that. Like FLOTUS Bush took her two daughters on a trip to Africa. But when FLOTUS Michele took her daughters, these whistleheads acted like it was a high crime. Whatever, haters…
FLOTUS and POTUS can walk across the street and these idiots will complain, what did it cost for that trip? How many vacations have they been on? And when the Bushes were in there for eight years I don’t recall them questioning any one about the cost. Did they complain when tax dollars went to millionaires and billionaires in the Bush tax cuts? Did they complain about invading Iraq and what that cost us? To hell with those haters. I say to the Obamas keep doing the great job you are doing, 4 MORE YEARS.
New York Examines the Chamber’s Inner Closets
By Ed Kilgore
————————–
We learn today from Washington Monthly alumnus Nicholas Confessore that the Attorney General of New York, Eric Schneiderman, has transcended the paralysis afflicting the Federal Election Commission to launch a probe into the seriously aromatic financing of lobbying and electioneering activities by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
You can read the whole thing, but it’s basically about apparent shifts of very large sums of money among two foundations and the Chamber, designed to disguise the donors for and protect the tax status of an array of high-profile Chamber political activities.

I hope he can complete a bulk of this investigation before the election. we need to know who is funding who
Hey, I have exactly the same shirt.
I bet you have this shirt too:
Ok, I will post a pic of me with that shirt. You have been warned.
😆 Is this you amk?
I wish it was.
Corporatist!
You asked for it, amk!!!! 😀 😀 😀
#Tweeps4OBAMA
Yes We Will
Love the picture of Senator Leahy with AG Holder!!
#Tweeps4OBAMA
#TWEETON
I was just scrolling through to write the same comment about Leahy and Holder – sending a powerful message that we have your back
The pic of Holder and Leahy holding hands is laughable. Politics is such bullshit. What’s he saying to Holder:” no hard feelings, bro. We’re just in the mood for some witch hunting and you fit the profile. After the vote, let’s meet up for some port.” fuckwit. I hate repukes.
Oops, sorry. Leahy is a democrat…. Sorry.
Ugh, Chpis!! Now I feel even worse! You’ve just proven that I’m just as unobservant and stupid as the MediaWhoresInc. Oy. 😦 I will now hang my head in shame and retire to a very dark, very small room, never to show my face around here again. 😦 😳
Ha wait Lisa, I’m the fool here! I just deleted that caption because ….. 😳 ….. the (R) meant ‘right’, not Republican. Blush.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! 😆 thank you Chips. You’re sweet for falling on the sword for me, but we’ll commiserate together. :ooops:
.
.
.
😉
Don’t start any trouble here, Chips.
Me? 😯
testing. is the reply thingee not working properly or are you guys just posting comments?
looks like something is off.
Testing reply to gobrooklyn…
The comments are all over the place again Hopefruit, grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Did you go through a wormhole? Temporal flux?
😆 I think all the comments are stuck in a wormhole tonight Jovie, WP freakiness ….. yet again.
WP trying anarchy! 🙂
Damn, I can’t figure out what you’re all commenting to, this is like rush hour on the Chipsway! OK, I better start at the beginning of the post & work my way down. 🙂
“This is like rush hour on the Chipsway!”
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
It’s soooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying Xtine!
Might as well start some “Vehicular Jackass” jokes since we’re stuck on the Chipsway!
It’s gone bonkers GB, a pain in the butt. 😦
Lisa, so now you know! Leahy is one of the very best Dem Senators we have. Always carrying his camera, so he’s easy to spot. OK? LOLz.
I need to sharpen my eyesight and be better able to spot a dem from a repuke. 😐
Leahy is a long time liberal Dem Sen. from Vt.
Sen. Leahy would never let an abuse like this past his committee. He is as upright and honest as Honest Abe!
Yep. Noticed that. My retraction is just above your comment.
Lisa, we are real family as you well know. You amongst all of us are so passionate about POB and because you know how these men and women are trying to bring down our president, when we see some of them, names begin to run together in indentification. So knowing all of them in every committee, their names and positions begin to run together. When I read your comment, I knew that was true. I know that you know who Chairman Patrick Leahy is and most of all Sen. Leahy is a very, very strong supporter of the president and he also is a very, very strong supporter of AG Holder. You are so right, he has AG Holder’s back and PBO’s for sure.
I have watched all of the hearings of the Judiciary Committee when AG Holder has been called in to the Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Leahy does not play with those ugly repukes when it comes to AG Holder. So as you retracted, those two hands together really do mean something. He cares about AG Holder and he ( I have been watching Sen. Leahy as long as I have been following VP Biden,) is a great and decent man. He is with PBO for sure.
It is like we are such a caring and loving family who keeps up on everything about POTUS, and the names begin to run together. I love the way you made your own correction. This is how a family respects each other. I have always loved that about you. HZ
POTUS and FLOTUS is the star of the ball, the picnic or whatever. They look very nice. 🙂
I see that PBO is wearing the shirt I sent him for Father’s Day. I bought it at Target. He’s wearing it now because he knows just one wash, and that’s it. Very, very nice 🙂 🙂 🙂
I love Target! But seriously, Hopefruit, why are you pulling a Romney? Why are you taking credit for my work? Must I remind you about the agreement between myself, PBO and Miche?
Didn’t PBO send you a text the other day that the agreement was off?
Ha! You wish!!! 😆
Had to share this best retort to an attempt at insult (seen on a greeting card):
“I’m sorry dear, but your attempt at insult would only work if I valued your opinion. Nice try though.” 🙂
This was FANTASTIC!!
Rep. Gutierrez warns Canadian Justin Bieber to bring papers to Arizona (please watch the video)
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/27/rep-gutierrez-warns-canadian-justin-bieber-to-bring-papers-to-arizona/
——————————
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) made a point about the potential for racial profiling in Arizona’s anti-immigration law on Wednesday by challenging members of the House to look at a series of photographs and determine which of the people were immigrants and which were citizens.
In a 5-4 ruling earlier this week, the the Supreme Court found that three out of four provisions of the Arizona law were unconstitutional because they were preempted federal laws. The court upheld that police could be required to inquire about immigration status when they stop suspects, but it left open the possibility of future challenges once that portion of the law was finally implemented.
“In Arizona today, all that stands between you and a legal nightmare is whether a police officer feels that there is a reasonable suspicion to inquire about your country of origin,” Gutierrez explained. “Yet, Arizona politicians will tell you — with a straight face, no less — that they can apply this law without racial profiling, without assuming that someone named Gutierrez isn’t less likely to be in this country legally than someone named Smith. That’s an amazing skill!”
“Maybe with practice we can all become like Arizona politicians and police officers who are able to telepathically determine who to accuse of not belong in America. But let’s take a quiz together this morning and learn how to pick out the suspect.”
The first set of photos compared journalists Geraldo Rivera and Ted Koppel.
“Geraldo’s Rivera’s mustache wouldn’t confuse an Arizona law enforcement professional,” Gutierrez snarked. “They would know that Geraldo was born in Brooklyn, New York and that Ted Koppel was born in Europe, in England, where his parents moved to flee from Hitler and Nazi Germany.”
Round two pitted singer Selena Gomez against her boyfriend Justin Bieber.
“I’m sure Justin helped Gomez learn all about American customs and feel more at home in her adopted country,” the congressman said. “Oh, wait a minute. I’m sorry. Because I’m not a trained Arizona official, I somehow got that backwards. Actually, Ms. Gomez of Texas has helped Mr. Bieber of Canada learn about his adopted country.”
“Justin, when you perform in Phoenix, remember to bring your papers,” Gutierrez warned…[more in the article]
Tweety showed a clip of Gutierrez doing the Bieber clip. It was funny and effective.
#Tweeps4OBAMA
Yes We Can
Dude, you ROCK!! 😀
Yes you do Bobfr. Thanks for all that you do for PBO on Twitter. HZ
Rep. Luis Gutierrez was rocking on the floor today!!! When he puts his heart and mind in his speeches, they are on point. He was great today.HZ
TWEETY JUST MADE ME CRY (AGAIN).
Tweety’s “Let Me Finish” segment on Nora Ephron was so touching at the end it brought me to tears twice. It was really touching to see Tweety get so emotional talking about her. The first time I watched, I could sense it was going to be hard for him to close out the segment. He also did a very sweet tribute with Rob Reiner and Joan Walsh.
FLOTUS is so elegant in her lovely dress 🙂 As we speak, Ms Ann is out shopping for green and yellow material to have her seamstress fashion a frock in the likes of Mrs O’s dress!
HF, I notice that Ms Ann is wearing dresses and belts similar to our beautiful FLOTUS.
That woman is just as simple as her husband. It’s not the clothes that make the woman. Clothe Miche in sackcloth and ashe and she’dstill be the Miche everyone knows and loves. Same lesson to Petunia, putting black people or women in your audience on or your ticket doesn’t make you in anyway more palatable to women or blacks. Ridiculous.
COS, I noticed the same thing with Ms. Ann about the belts and the print dresses. Ms. Ann needs to move on with something else. Can’t touch our FLOTUS. She maybe a nice lady, but sometimes Ms. Ann can work the nerves. Well, at least, my nerves and they are very thin about now.HZ
She really. I adore the way she mixes colors. Very fashion forward.
Yes, She Is, UT. No one in that with that title can or will every match our FLOTUS. She is a natural beautiful First Lady. HZ
This should be reason enough to nip this in the bud.

GOP Operative Says Romney’s ‘Instinct Is To Call To The Cheney-ites’ On Foreign Policy
Nancy Smashwill be on the Ed show tomorrow night to talk ACA!!!!!
AMK. . .here is one for you. . .
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
“She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”
The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Republican.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s my fault.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Perfect!!
LOL. Lovely, Marlz.
As long as we are flying,
A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a couple of really important executives on board into Seattle airport. There is fog so thick that visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments are out. He circles looking for a landmark and after an hour, he is low on fuel and his passengers are very nervous. At last, through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. Circling, the pilot banks and shouts through his open window: “Hey, where am I?”. The solitary office worker replies: “You’re in an airplane.”. The pilot immediately executes a swift 275 degree turn and executes a perfect blind landing on the airport’s runway five miles away. Just as the plane stops, the engines cough and die from lack of fuel. The stunned passengers ask the pilot how he did it. “Elementary,” replies the pilot, “I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100% correct but absolutely useless; therefore, I knew that must be Microsoft’s support office and from there the airport is three minutes away on a course of 87 degrees.”
Oh my….nothing truer has been said!!.
That’s funny! 😀 😀 😀
LOL – Good one! 😀 😀
Earlier today I predicted a Saturday or Sunday party for hitting 11 million hits. I am looking at how it has ticked up today and have a feeling there will be heavy traffic the next couple days, so I now predict Friday early evening. I’ll bring the Glenfiddich.
It’s a deal Japa – although I’m not sure if my cheesy puffs will go with the Glenfiddich?
And I will bring the glasses. They’re plastic too.
You’ll be hearing from the Cheesy Puffs’ lawyer, mister.
You’re nothing but class, amk!
Of course, I am, LL. I will even gift those glasses to you… After I am done…
Oh, did I forget to say there would be just enough for one?
Atta boy. We are soul mates.
My ribs hurt from laughing (even though I’m out here on my own, at this time of the night…).
No worries, I’ll bring some Yoohoo, a little Ginger Ale and a spot of Root Beer to go with the Puffs. Something for everyone! 🙂
No worries, Chipsticks, cheesy puffs go well with everything! (maybe not touch pads, tho)!
Dudette, I love Ginger Ale. May I bring a little Casa Rossa Rivata? I have some glasses also amk. Just checking. I think that I need to help Chips keep an eye on the family. This should be fun. We really do need a party. I am in. Do not tell my doctors, please. HZ
Can’t believe Issa had the guts to show up at the picnic. (according to Elijah Cummings on Ed) Issa is the poster child for unethical, sleazy congressman.
I think Elijah deserves a special place in Heaven for having to serve as the ranking member on that committee with Issa. He did a good job defending his position, but Issa had already jigged the outcome.
Free food and drink, paid for by We The People he is so dedicated to cheating!
I guess AG Holder has no plans to hang out for a while. Still in his work suit, ready to bounce. The crap ya gotta do to serve your country. If this vote goes down, and it may. The pubs will have just handed this election over to President Obama and the dems. It will not end well for them. More info is coming out- info that they are well aware of. we will be talking about the NRA and the gun laws they’ve been behind even more.
When I saw AG Holder still in his tie and jacket, I said the same thing, elo4obama/biden. AG Holder is no push over. He works hard, and he is a decent man, and he does not plan to show up at the WhiteHouse less than the Attorney General of the United States of America. That is called Do Not F W Me, you hear. Now that is all I am going to say.HZ

I dunno, a little encouragement might be nice, as well! Jeesh!!!
I notice that AG Holder’s very nice, smart and pretty wife does not seem to be at the picnic today. If she feels the same way as some of us do about the crap the rightwingers and some blue dogs have been throwing towards her handsome and honest brilliant hubby, then she nay be like me and want to reach out and hit some of the congressional critters
She maybe on call at the hospital or with their children doing something. Usually Dr. Sharon Holder is right there beside him. She is a very tough cookie, for sure. Not to worry.HZ
Oh noooooesssss, WP has a screw loose again…….
Yeap. Two of comments went to the wrong place.
A blonde is on a four-engine plane crossing the Atlantic.
All of a sudden there’s a loud bang. The pilot announces over the intercom “I’m sorry, one of our engines has just shut off. We’ll be delayed 45 minutes.”
Suddenly there’s another bang. Once again, the intercom clicks on and the pilot expresses his regret that they’ll be delayed two hours.
Shortly thereafter, there is third bang and the pilot announces that they’ll be delayed 3 hours.
The blonde turns to the guy sitting beside her and says, “Man, if the fourth engine shuts off we’ll be up here all day.”
😆 Ladies? Go get him!!!!!
Job at the CIA
The CIA had an opening for an assassin.
After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; “Two men and a woman”.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. ‘We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair … Kill her!!’
The man said, ‘You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife.’ The agent said, ‘Then you’re not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home.’
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, ‘I tried, but I can’t kill my wife ..’ The agent said, ‘You don’t have what it takes Take your wife and go home..’
Finally, it was the woman’s turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow.
‘This gun is loaded with blanks’ she said. ‘I had to beat him to death with the chair.’
MORAL: Women: Don’t mess with them.
HahahahahahhahhahhahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahhahahahahhahhahhhahahhhahahahhahahhahhahhhahahhahahahhahahhahhahahhahhahahahhahhahhahhahahhhahahhahahhahajjahahhahahhahhahahhahhahahhahhahahhahahahahahhaahahhahhahhahahhahahhahahhahahhahhahhahahhahhahahhahhahhahhahhahahhhahhahahhahahahahhahahhahahhahahhHHahhHHhhHhHHhhHhhHahahahahhahhahhahahhahahhahahhahahhahhahhahaha!!!!

The Senate is likely to take up legislation aimed at curbing job outsourcing after the July 4 recess, a vote that would come amid the Obama campaign’s relentless hammering against Mitt Romney and Bain Capital’s overseas investments.
It’s another example of election-year coordination between the White House and Senate Democrats, who have already held votes on the Buffett Rule, pay-equity legislation and student loan interest rates that aligned with the administration’s message.

This article is straight forward, so I posted it!
I wish AG Holder was as vindictive and crazy as me then I would have brought some subpoenas with me and served them to some republicans as a form of desert
I know right? Maybe it’s a good idea that we don’t hold Holder’s position then cause the shit I’d be pulling? Secret investigations into all those mofos. Leaking stuff to the press about congressmen and their extracurricular activities? Boy o boy. {{SMH}}
Lisa and globalcitizenlinda, we could make a great trio. Now that is my kind of work. I would love to walk in there and pull out some heavy duty subpoenas and shove them down those lying suckers mouths. But I would have dressed those subpeonas up in some very delicious dressings for their BBQ. Crap-heads!!!
I better get off, my pain meds need to get to work, plus I do not want to be sued for my words. Although I have a great a few great lawyers in the family and another high-level law person, I need to shut it up for tonight. But I would be glad to team up with my Lisa and GCL.
Have a nice evening AG Holder, and stay cool and stay strong. We have your back also. HZ
I used to think the same sort of thing about Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. If I was him, I would have audited Arianna Huffington years ago.
Shame on me, but I really do adore the President’s tush.
Hey, we ladies like to look, too.!
Joy Ann Reid just called out Michael Medsomethingorother on Ed’s show. He said Senator Obama voted against Bush’s immigration bill. Joy said:” Mike just spoke a bit of untruth there because we know PBO voted for that biil…..” and Mike had no come back. Wish more Dems called out liars so well and so easily and Richard Wolfe was there and didn’t even call that toolbag on it—- maybe I’m being too harsh, maybe he didn’t have time to call the repug tool out. Who knows? But Joy was on top of it.
Michael Medved? RW talker…
Joy Ann Reid always comes armed with the facts. Always.
(Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama will learn how the Supreme Court rules on his flagship healthcare law from watching the news, and won’t get any advance word on the opinion, the White House said on Wednesday.
Asked where Obama will be when the highly anticipated decision is announced on Thursday morning, White House spokesman Jay Carney said: “In my office.”
Supreme Court rulings are released in a carefully controlled way. Justices read excerpts from the bench in Washington at the same time as the full judgments are posted online and handed to reporters in paper form.
An assistant clerk also calls the lawyers for both sides about the announcement. But interested parties in the West Wing and elsewhere have to hear from the media what has been decided.
“We turn on televisions and radios and computers and watch SCOTUSblog,” Carney told reporters at the White House.
“I think anybody who covers the Supreme Court knows that it’s pretty air-tight, and it is perhaps anachronistic, or not, but that’s a fact. And so we all will await the decision and learn of it at the same time that you do,” he said.

Okay, this cracked me up:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/06/27/the-enthusiasm-gap-part-562/
Wow, beautiful pics, Chips! Scrolled thru, and all the way down, then I’ll go back up and read everything. Just have to ask, on Ed Show is Elijah Cummings & he’s saying that that the CBC (responding to that Politico story that they all walk out tomorrow) is working out the details of what they’ll do tomorrow. Totally paraphrasing here. Do they really have to think about it? Did I miss something. Maybe Elijah didn’t want to give too much away? Maybe Issa found a spelling bee who announced his name backwards? 🙂 She won the Bee!
Anyhoo, I strongly believe the NRA totally overreached, as is their nature, and forgot to pull up their knickers. All their nasties are out in the sunshine. Could they go the way of Komen? Just saying …. 🙂
I so wish Democrats had guts, here they are being push around by the NRA. You can stand for guns rights and stand for the right thing being done. And what that sicko Issa and the Republicans are doing is not right. Any Democrat who vote in favor of this contempt B.S. is a bunch of weak ass punks who are being push around by the NRA.
This is going to be posted twice because the other one was awaiting moderation..
CHIPS! Thx for the vid of PObama speaking at the Conogressional Picnic..I bet they were Dems who were clapping when he mentioned everyone working together for a better America to leave our kids. They are both so Exemplary! Loved Michelle’s Sundress~
But, it bears repeating!
Or not.
