Morning/afternoon/evening everyone.
I keep meaning to say that if any of the regulars here ever want something posted on the blog (ie on the ‘front page’, not just in the comments), please let me know – I’m always completely thrilled to get your contributions (and it gives me a delightful break from hearing the sound of my own voice….. zzzzzzz).
The only rule – needless to say – is that it has to be PBO-related. It can’t, for example, be 500 words on how majestic cheesy puffs are….
…. which they are …
….. or are how glorious a sporty legend Wayne Rooney is……
…. which he is – especially after his hair started magically re-growing:
**** ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ***
… and it can’t be libelous – eg you can’t say that Cenk Uygur is a fraudulent piece of shit making a living from being a ‘progressive’ fake, when he’s never actually strayed from his extreme right-wing Republican roots and remains the loathsome turd that he always was and continues to do his damndest to persuade liberals not to support PBO.
We can’t have that class of defamation here.
So, if you have something PBO-related that you want to say, contact me – immediately.
Oh, another thing!
If any of you are up for getting involved in helping run the blog between now and November, I will welcome your assistance with a hug so tight you’ll most probably pass out.
I’ll be able to look after things most days, but there’ll be a few days here and there – due to work or traveling – when it will be tricky, so if you have any interest in helping out please email me at:
theobamadiary@gmail.com
This request is not, alas, open to Willard supporters – I don’t want the blog supporting the individual mandate one day, and opposing it the next. Supporting a woman’s right to choose one day, and opposing it the next. Supporting immigration reform one day, and opposing it the next. Supporting gun control one day, and opposing it the next…….. You get the drift.
Thanks everyone 😉

😆 You okay LadyTNT????
Yeah, “I’m STRAIGHT!” (in my PBO voice when he was at Ben’s Chilli Bowl) Ok, is it sad that I have watched that video a million times?!
Yes, it iIS sad. You need to catch up to those of us who’ve watched that Ben’s Chili Bowl video FIVE million times! 🙂
Yes, YOU LadyTNT 🙂
THANK YOU CHIPS!!!!! I can’t believe it!! I really can’t!! Ok, let me calm down before I get super embarrassed about being super happy about being first on here!! Ok, I’m cool!! “Yeah, cool!! Thanks Chips” (in my cool Isaac Hayes voice)!! LOL!!
You’re (literally) cracking me up LadyTNT, you’re the sweetest thing!!!
Congrats LadyTNT on #1!
Chips, could I write a front-page article on PBO’s majestic hands? 🙂 🙂
Thanks!
Y’all don’t want to know what I’d write about.
I DO!!
Hmm…do tell, TrumpDog!
😆 Most certainly, Hopefruit! 😆
Yes, YOU, lass! And Mai say it looks GOOD on you! Fabulous, even! 😆
Thanks so much!! I’ve been waiting forever to sneak in here and grab that spot!! But I love when everyone else gets #1 too!!
Way to go! 😀
Virgin no more!!! 🙂 Congrats, LadyTNT!!!
Thanks DF!! And because I know you like to groove to the good music, I would like to dedicate this to you and me for not being a virgin anymore!!

cheesy puffs!
…a two-word essay.
Susanne, two words are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too insufficient to describe the magnificence of cheesy puffs.
yes, but one bite…mmmmmmmmmmmm!
Sorry, but you just haven’t lived until you’ve had these: http://shop.barbarasbakery.com/Cheese-Puffs-Jalapeno/p/BAR-000755&c=BarbarasBakery@Snacks@CheesePuffs
oh, honey, i have liiiiiivvveeeddd! yes! these are my faves!
… are g-r-e-a-t stuff! Eaten by famous and wonderful people the world over! S’truth! 🙂
Thanks for all you do Chips. Love you madly. LH
Ah hey, love ya back, madly – your links keep me informed, every single day. You’re brilliant.
THIRD????????
ROFLMAO yeah, a surprise poll, go figure. Those must be the states where
1) they figured they’ve got it rigged or
2) they lie
CNN is a piece of work. Evening all
I email CNN (TeaNN) and ask asked them why is it we should believe their crazy poll, and I reminded them that they were the network which announced that the Supreme Court struck down the entire ACA law last week.
Excellent anniebella, keep the pressure up on those ****wits.
I love that idea. It should be the standard tweet response to everything they spew from now til November. Just remember to put a period before their .@ signal so everyone can see it. What would they do if a hundred tweets went out like that in response to all their ‘scoops’ and each one was retweeted multiple times. LOL
At this point, CNN is a fucking joke and an embarrassment.
I agree and I pay them as much mind as fauxspews
THose who work there and have a brain should be embarra$$ed. I cancelled their a$$ in 2002.
Woooo Hooooo! Not sure how this works.
now we just open a bag of crisps, pop the top off a tub of ice cream, and watch a weepy movie, till our next chance comes around.
A whole bunch of you lot snuk in ahead of me. Damn.
Don’t feel bad Yardarm, I can’t even beat this lot and I’m the one doing the posting 😳 (Overjoyed to see you back here).
Admiral. I’d be glad to join your working party. Let me know what you want me to do. Not sure if I have the skill set but whatever you need I’m here.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love ya any more….. will be in touch, shipmate.
Aye, aye Skipper!
Aloha Yardarm! Just ram that speedboat through and you’ll be first in no time!
Not sure if I can do that hope. I came str8 from twitter. Boy was I surprised to wind up here.
Hello yard. Long time no see.
Took a short cruise but I’m back in port.
Good to have you back. The ladies were getting little worried about you.
Except when the pics came out with the nekkid dudes and I felt the heat on my monitor. 😀
yeah,wimmin. 🙄 🙄
Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em, huh? What a dilema! 😆
You betcha. Also. Too.
Howdy sailor! Missed you:)
Thanks df. How’s things on your end?
Gosh, Chips, don’t you think you were a little too easy on Cenk? 🙂
Hmm, maybe, on reflection Bill 🙂
You’re right about Cenk. So what, if anything, does that say about Gore?
And in other things maybe/maybe not of interest: NYTimes Sunday Mag had a big article about SOS Clinton. Is it totally crazy to wonder if it was meant to coincide with a Bad SCOTUS ruling in order to revive DLC prospects? Too far-fetched, right?
He was screaming today because the Feds mad a bunch of busts over the weekend, lots of grass involved.
Albeit, Cenk is pretty high strung, so a little Tai -stick for Him, would help us all.
You follow?
I love the way that you get to your pointa, Chipa. So humorous.
Vitaminlover, I hope you appreciated my restraint? 😆
sorry, can’t get over this: imagine if a democrat, or god forbid, pbo, pulled a stunt like this!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/anchorage-officials-say-long-distance-swearing-in-of-vacationing-mayor-in-line-with-city-code/2012/07/02/gJQAKVjsIW_story.html
I would be shocked in Romney was ahead 8 points in any of those states. I wonder what the crosstabs show. However, in keeping with my decision not to worry about polls until after the conventions, I am not going tocheck it out. CNN has shown themselves to be frauds, anyway.
Of all the polls I have seen before, Arizona, Indiana, and Missouri have always been in Romney column or leaning to Romney.
Well, that means mine’s out.
omg. I have no idea about Rooney’s hair. yikes.
That hair is a horror show. 50K really doesn’t buy you much.
efuckingad.
There was a time I loved you LL, intensely. But your dissing of Wayne’s hair-do ….. a step too far.
Wayne looked like a stocky fierce warrior bald. Now he looks like his puppet doppelganger on the old “Special 1” show on Setanta.
To think I once loved this fella ——> Liberal Librarian
😆
August can’t come soon enough.
Gonna have to agree with LL, Chips. Wayne’s hair looks like the monster that haunts little children at night. It’s in competition with the fox on Trump’s hair.
Tally? Step away. Wayne’s magical re-growth is one of nature’s wondrous mysteries. It almost makes me believe in global warming.
HAAAAAAAAAAAA! 😀 😀
Hey. Magic is REAL. NO JOKE PEOPLE!!! REAL!
Hair?! He’s a beast all the way around! Lord, that was scary.
I vote LadyTNT to sub for you, chips. That way I get what I want in her threads .
Yep!! You know I got your back!!(as long as VC doesn’t mind :smile:)
Why would I mind? 🙄 🙄 You can have his back for as long as you want, Lady T. I have dibs on his side, right or left doesn’t much matter as long as he shares the 1st place on the podium with me standing beside him. /muttering – wonder why she thinks I’d be interested in his back. Who wants to stand behind a guy in this day and age… well, except for PBO?….strange../
What, like parrots in bikinis chomping on onion rings?
You started it.
Vacationing in Hawaii, two priests decide to wear casual clothes so they won’t be identified as clergy. They buy Hawaiian shirts and sandals, and soon head for the beach.
They notice a gorgeous blond in a tiny bikini. “Good afternoon, Fathers” she says as she strolls by.
The men are stunned. How does she know they are clergy? Later that day, they buy even wilder attire consisting of surfer shorts, tie dyed T-shirts, and dark glasses.
The next day, they return to the beach. The same fabulous blond, now wearing a string bikini, passes by, nods politely at them and says, “Good morning Fathers.”
“Just a minute young lady.”, says one of the priests. “We are priests and proud of it, but how in the world did you know?”
The blonde replies, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m sister Katherine from the convent.”
😆 You’re a disgrace amk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s the cleanest bikini joke evah.
How do men exercise on the beach?
By sucking in their stomach every time they see a bikini.
UPDATE:
Previously- I tweeted AliVelshi and received a response:
@AliVelshi @CNNYourMoney What liberals want is for you to talk about WHO is BLOCKING economic growth. Do you fear Republicans? @Obama2012
Reply: @laughingzebra liberals can watch a liberal network for that. Congress is blocking economic growth & compromise is lacking on both sides.
I had also emailed the tweet to @JohnFugelsang. I also got a reply from him:
@JohnFugelsang
@laughingzebra investigating/discussing if/how the GOP has blocked economic growth isn’t liberal reporting, it’s “reporting.”
I tweeted @JohnFugelsang’s response to AliVelshi. I got this tweet for Velshi:
@AliVelshi
@laughingzebra why are you cc-ng @JohnFugelsang? He’s got nothing to do with this discussion
I did not reply to him yet. Instead I sent a copy of his reply to @JohnFugelsang, along with a little commentary.
@AliVelshi: @laughingzebra why are you cc-ng @JohnFugelsang? He’s got nothing to do with this discussion. Seriouly?Ha Ha Ha
I find this to be seriously petty. Why on earth does he believe this should be a ‘private’ conversation.
At least Velshi’s responding to you. I tweeted him asking how dems have blocked economic growth. Haven’t got a reply.
This was several hours ago.
And unless it was a private message sent straight to your tweetbox between you and Velshi, ANY topic is up for public discussion and input from others. Velshi doesn’t own twitter and I’m not sure why he’d have his ass on his back about Fuglesang’s input. Unless he’s just trying to misdirect because he doesn’t have logical answers to your question…
When replied to my first tweet, I used ‘reply’ which sent an email to him.
BTW I sent it during his show. He was asking for people to tweet, so they were probably monitoring it. I guess he didn’t expect his ‘snark’ to have a wider audience, especially one of his peers. Funny, silly man.
‘watch a liberal network’ ??? wtf ?
These third rate hacks, who lick the rw asses, are being ‘brave’ with their viewers who question them ?
And the answer is a resounding YES. They DO fear republicans.
I think when Robme said he ‘liked firing people’, that was a dog whistle. You’re seeing more and more of these large corporation ceo ‘invites’ to their overworked, underpaid worker bees. Whether to attend his sorry rallies, or to donate to his campaign. So yes. I do believe these pundits and talking heads are scared!
Be careful of what you wish for.
A crackdown on illegal immigration, more job opportunities in Mexico and rising fees charged by smugglers are reducing the number of workers who cross the U.S. border illegally each year to help make up more than 60 percent of U.S. farmworkers. The American Farm Bureau Federation projects $5 billion to $9 billion in annual produce-industry losses because of the labor shortages.

No fair!
Absolutely not Hachikō, I won’t have anyone slandered on this blog, even that fraudulent piece of RW excrement Uygur. 😕
You’re no fun. 😛 😀
Ooo, got my Paso Robles wine country guide in the mail today. Time to plan out my trip.
Oh, boy!
forbes uses the ‘L’ word in describing mcconnell’s assertion that the aca constitutes a tax. yep, the article’s title says, ‘its a lie’.

Tweeted susanne.
thanks, amk! i’d never read this guy rick ungar before, but his other posts on forbes are pro-aca as well.
I have read some of his posts before. He sure is a misfit at forbes. 🙂
maybe a token liberal, to demonstrate their ‘balanced’ reporting?
No…he’s really very good.
hallelujah!
My version
Americans for Prosperity (Kochs) has an ad up and running stating this lie. I saw twice this evening. They also say to tell President Obama to repeal ACA and replace it with “Patient-Centered Reform” – this is term that Frank Luntz told Repubs to use when talking about health care.
What ‘L word’? —- Lesbian? Loser? Laughable? Lady thighs? Lard-ass? All ‘L words’ I’d use to describe McTurtle.
Liposuction comes to mind….
lickspittle?
lady thighs! bah ha ha ha ha ha
Via Bob Cesca
U.S. trade officials on Thursday told a Republican lawmaker at the center of a legal fight with the Obama administration he cannot sit in on trade talks next week in San Diego between the United States and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mac Campbell, assistant U.S. trade representative for congressional affairs, told Representative Darrell Issa in a letter that his request to observe the negotiations was denied, but he and two members of his staff would receive credentials to attend the event as “stakeholders.”
“With these credentials you will be able to attend public portions of the event. However, only negotiators from each country are present for negotiation sessions,” Campbell said.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Shorter Cesca: Darrell Issa told to sit down and shut up.
or maybe just run along home now.
Take his chickenshit and hit the road.
Yup. Racist klowns are not fit to sit anywhere, let alone in congress.
Issa getting too big for his toddler sized tightie whities.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Now we can expect an investigation into trade negotiations among the Asia-Pacific Region.
What if its a post on how PBO can use cheesy puffs, Wayne Rooney and Cenk to win the election?
preach it, brooklyn!
Strange but I never put much stock in this department before this admin. Before all they were good for was giving mining and mountaintop removal rights to multinational corporations.
Salazar actually has me checking their site now and again for good news. And Linda at WiW always has good info on what they are doing.
With this admin, government has been made cool again.
So, if Cenk were living in Turkey, would he be for the Islamists or the generals?
If Cenk were living in Turkey, I would be content
Bam!
What this blog needs a pic of chips pointing at us a la uncle sam.
That’s what I was expecting!
I thought I’d share a post I did today on Facebook:
As most of you know, my dad was a Vietnam veteran. About a decade ago, he was ruled 100% disabled by the government due to complications that were a direct result of the Vietnam War. When my dad passed in 2010, my mom applied for spousal benefits, which are afforded to her as a wife of a disabled veteran. The VA initially told her that it would take upward to 200 or so days before they processed and either approved/denied her claim. This was in early 2011, so, she anticipated the claim would be approved by no later than the end of that year.
Unfortunately, because of budget cuts and a government freeze, the process was extremely slow. 150 days turned to 200 and that into a year. For someone who was counting on those benefits, the prolonged wait was pretty brutal.
Disappointed, and desperate, I finally came up with the idea to e-mail the White House. I wasn’t sure if it would amount to anything, but having waited as long as we did, something needed to be done. So, we contacted the White House. Initially, I didn’t expect anything because I’m sure they’re swamped daily with e-mails and phone calls. But, a couple weeks after the e-mail, my mom received a phone call from the VA and they told her that, to their surprise, the White House had called them and outlined my mom’s case and demanded action.
After a long wait, the VA agreed to push through my mom’s claim. Well today, she finally received a letter that they had approved her claim and she’ll now be receiving spousal benefits. Better yet, she will be given back pay all the way from Dec. 2010, the month after my dad died.
I don’t care if you agree with President Obama’s politics or some of his actions – but you can’t doubt this man’s sincerity. His White House didn’t have to help my mom, who was just some sixty year old living in Salt Lake City, Utah – but they did. I don’t care what anyone says about our President – I am proud of the man. Thanks to him, my mom finally has some peace of mind.
Excellent post irishman. Glad that your mom got what is due to her.
Way to effing go! I’m so pleased. I love the People’s Administration.
wow! That’s really something – yes he cares! 😀
BRAVO to you for taking that step to email the WH and for having faith that it just might make a difference. I’m so thrilled for your mom. Peace to your family.
This is wonderful and hope many people read about your efforts on your Moms behave. Continue telling this story to everyone you meet because our President is a very caring man and wants to do the right thing for all Americans.
This is what Change looks like. This is what Hope looks like. God bless your Mom, and your Dad, and you, DI, and President Obama.
What a great story. One of many and hopefully many more into and beyond 2016
What a beautiful, heartfelt story that you’ve shared. Good for you, writing to the WH…and good for them..rushing it through. I have never seen a President or an administration like this one. They mean what they say, and they say what they mean. He truly DOES stand by our veterans and their families. You need to tell your story to all that will listen.Thank you for sharing that with us, DI.
Wow! Got a lump in my throat. That’s OUR PRESIDENT! So glad your Mom is receiving her spousal benefits Drunken Irishman. Have sent it around to my small circle asking that the post this on their respective Facebook pages as well. This story needs to be seen far and wide…So refreshing to see our illustrious Pres leading from top down, everyone in his Administration is here to serve the people of this country. Wow!
I’m in tears here, Irishman! That is such a sweet sad story.. You Got Through to our White House! I’m so proud of you, your mom, your dad, and our President Barack Obama/O’bama!
P.S. I’m thinking your email was riveting and powerful!
Fact: the demographics for the Nation is 51% women, 49% Men.
CNN gas the President(go look) up by 12 with women nationally and down by 5 with Men.
That seems more like it!
Based on these variables, will somebody please explain to me, how can Romney be up 8 points in the Battleground poll?
They take a poll and then put out answers that don’t match.
Do you follow?
Easy answer. CNN included AZ, IN, and MO as “battleground” states. That just *might* have an influence on the numbers.
So, CNN is admittig propaganda?
Not as such, but we on the outside can make the inference. And are on Twitter. The media is mostly useless.
By the way when I email TeaNN (CNN) mI told them they were full of alot of bull sh*t. Excuse my english.
Isn’t CNN the same people that stated that the healthcare ruling was going to be overturned. Hmmm interesting.
Change of topic – Here is one of our Olympic team members – Gymnast John Orozco.
Yeah, I can do that….not even in my dreams. Congrats to that young man. All his hard work and dedication paid off.
These olympic athletes really work hard from morning to night for years, many from a very young age. They deserve all the good that comes in the end.
Plus, even though they are clearly very well conditioned athletes, it NEVER hurts when they are also handsome as this guy is.
I see, at the very least, a Wheaties box in his future!!!
“I see, at the very least, a Wheaties box in his future!!!” I’d buy it off the shelve ❗ 😆
AWESOME!
Awesome, indeed!
That is one determined young man. I hope he does well in the Olympics. I know I’ll be keeping an eye out for him!!
Well, I see the US is keeping things secret for now. This is ‘not available’ in my country.
Awww, vc. Where are you?
Canada
Are you ready for the Right Wingers who are moving there because they don’t want Socialized OBAMACARE???
LOLOLOLOLOL The stupid really burns. Also, don’t you all have VERY strict gun laws??
I know nothing about the gun laws here other than the vague idea that the current conservative prime minister plans to close the national gun registry. As I said earlier on another post, I would fail any test re healthcare, etc. here because I don’t follow politics…at least I didn’t before PBO and what I follow now is US politics. Re the RWNJ moving north, I’m not worried,… yet, because I don’t think they would last here when they discovered that they couldn’t publicly say and do whatever they wanted, whenever, and then cite freedom of expression or stand your ground laws.
Sorry VC. It’s a video about John Orozco winning the US Olympic Trials for Mens Gymastics
Try this article on Sports Illustrated about John and other cutie teammate Danell Levya (who looks like a young doppleganger of Young and the Restless soap opera star, Kristoff St. John).
By the way, John Orozco is feature in the music video “The Fighter” by Gym Class Heroes
There’s a video of an interview of him talking about making the video
http://www.gymnastike.org/video/640136
Here’s the music video:

Thank you, D. I watched 2 of them and now I know who John O is. 😉
CANNOT WAIT for the Summer Olympics; love it just slightly more than the Winter Olympics. All that rippling muscle in Track & Field events doncha’ know. 😉 So nice to see AAs representin’ in gymnastics this summer. National champ! Awesome!
I know… And isn’t he just the most handsome young man!?!
I mean, I know he’s WAY too young for me, but it’s refreshing to see a good looking, successful, can-construct-a-grammatically-correct-sentence, young man so dedicated to his craft!!
EXACTLY what I was thinking! Articulate and polite, didn’t have to cringe internally during the interview if you know what I mean. He could be the brother of my godson who turns 25 tomorrow. GAAH! so trying not to accept that… 😆
THIS!
Well…?
Karma, the sweet revengy beeyotch….
What Bastards. They all signed the Norquist pledge. They insist they can survive without raising taxes but how do they plan on doing that? By asking the Fed Gov for help and money. And just where the hell do they think that damn help and money comes from? And all the help from the military. Who exactly funds that!
PBO is better than I, ’cause I would just say we don’t have the money to give you or the resources. ‘You’re on your own!”
These people grate my last nerve.
All I’m gonna say is that Michelle Malkin lives in Colorado Springs. That’s all I’m gonna say… Oh, and Karma. Okie dokie. I’m done.
Well said.
I wonder how the sound of “you’re on your own” would feel? That’s what they keep telling the rest of us!
Really. No government help. A true Libertarian Paradise. Like Somalia.
This woman had the nerve to tell me she doesn’t want the country to become socialist and I said like no firefighters, police, public schools, social security……and of course “that’s different”, they want to pick and choose their socialism. They have no idea what the hell “socialism”
I’m going to have to practice crossing my eyes, so when some idjit tells me something like this I can give them ‘the look’
okay, I just practiced in the mirror. I think it’ll work to shut them up. Crossing my eyes at them that is.
NO. It’s not different..they need to know the meaning of socialsim before they go throwing it around.
Woman in the bikini: I have cholera
Male friend: What?
LOL! 😀
Oh, this needs to be tweeted all over… especially to the newstainers who don’t push back on the teabagger nonsense.
don’t ya think vouchers for firefighting services? that way, when your house is on fire, you could shop around, get the most firefighting service you can afford.
I was about to send a tweet to CNN for their ridiculous poll and I read a few tweets in their TL to see if they were getting pushback today.
….this one represents what a disgrace the network is.
Thanks @cnn for not letting Obama spin doctors get away with spinning the truth about taxes in obamacare & his low poll #’s in key states.
CNN is hedging on Romney winning. Like the banks, they will collapse!
Lke they hedge on the Supreme Court striking down the ACA law. Right Jovie.
Yup.
Now I want Cheesy puffs and Doritos.
Shitfuck!
Cheetos yum yum yum.
/ducks and runs
lol you better run,….
OK I’m going to bite. I can usually decipher your acronyms but ……. what does “mcp” stand for?
male chauvinist pig. 🙂
oh. amk. you are bad. very very bad. I’m with Christi you best run laddie! 😀
If you think about it, it’s really a compliment to wimmin. 🙂
It is true tho—-other than the human species, where the gals are the pretty ones—-well they are usually the ones wearing the lipstick and mascara anyway—–the animal gals are the plain ones—–the guys are the prettiest—–more colorful with more fancy body parts. Nature’s way of protecting mom with babies. And the Circle of Life. (I’m singing now) (the boy cardinals and boy goldfinches outside my window put their wives to shame during their beauty contests)
It’s not the colors, it’s the curves. 🙂
😀 😀
****It ain’t the meat it’s the motion**** (singing)
curves = motion (it’s automatic)
More 😀 😀 😀
curves = poetry in motion ?
I’ve been trying to figure out that acronym for days now. I should have known… how appropriate… 🙂
Hello there, Theo, are you still awake? I’m awaiting my phone call.
Thought it worthwhile to continue urging folk to note the profound hypocrisy, as well as total distortion of #BainMitt’s tenure at his private equity slaughterhouse …
My version:
Keep it going. The truth needs to get out and it’s not getting out through the MSM.
I have not heard my president’s voice LIVE in 3 days and it’s really weird. Fortunately my state Michigan is running an Obama ad and I have
yet to see any really scary GOP ads. Anyway…night all 1 more day and he’s back on Wednesday.
I’m going through withdrawals. 😦

Oh Cheesy puffs, oh Cheesy puffs, you make me feel so good an’ stuffed.
I love your goooolden cheesy flavor, you’re crisp and crun-chy to be savored.
Oh Cheesy puffs, oh cheesy puffs, I can’t ever get enough!

Oh Cheesy puffs, Oh Cheesy puffs, I cannot live without your stuff.
You make me hap-py every day, if I could, I’d have my way
Oh Cheesy puffs, oh Cheesy puffs, you make me glaaaad come what may.
But Cheesy puffs, dear Cheesy puffs, you do not treat me very well.
You fill me up and make me glad, especially when I’m sad
But then you stick around all day, and make a mess when I weigh
And find myself 30 pounds over weeeiiight
And now I cannot get a date.
So then I stuff my face some more, trying to fill the gap you caused
Oh Cheesy puffs, oh Cheesy puffs! You m^^^*%#*#^{ bastard, oh you suck!
Oh Cheesy puffs, oh Cheesy puuuuffs!!!

Ha! 😆 thanks Lib-Lib. 😆
Yes. We. Can! 😆
(well except for the tonnage, cheesy puffs do not hang around on my tiny little frame!)
Okay, now I’m mad! 😡 I’m sending you images of that photo of PBO and Miche where one is saying ‘you mad?’ and the other says, ‘oh, he mad!’ —that one! No fair, Pamela. No fair! I cry foul! How dare you not gain weight after stuffing yourself full of all that cheesy goodness?
Hilarious!!! 🙂

Trust me. Totally worth 10 minutes out of your life to watch this.
And why our President is so AWESOME…..
He is at that…mesmerizing video. I’ll have my kids put it on their FB…glad you shared:) Sorry for his loss….
Heartbreaking. I literally got a chill when they showed his loved one’s last name was “Bridegroom”.
yeah. I sobbed my head off. so damn sad.
Apparently, he is trying to make their story into a documentary. Linda Bloodworth-Thomason of “Designing Women” fame is the director and producer of the documentary. They are trying to raise $300k by July 19 to complete production on kickstarter.

I saw that – so full of WIN.
Wow, Lawrence is reporting on the Medicaid aspect of the ACA like a dog with a bone. He is obsessed with this portion of the ruling.
He is the one that started this… LOL!
Jeepers, if only he would shut up! Sometimes, I think he still works in the Senate Finance Committee.
I’m not watching Lawrence, but the Medicaid aspect of this ruling IS actually the part that will affect the most uninsured people. The “mandate” part is getting the most attention, but the “Medicaid” part is the biggest part of what will happen at the state level., i.e. the part where uninsured people will be able to access affordable insurance.
The problem I have with Lawrence is his “opinion” that the governors will automatically decline the Fed money. Many governors said they wouldn’t take any Recovery Act funding and then turned around and took the money. I want to know how these Republican Governors who refuse 100% funding will explain to their citizens why they will not receive any health care. I don’t mean to be harsh, but this is a state issue. If the citizens of a Red state reelect a Governor who refused the funding and they go without health care, well it’s on them, isn’t it?
Not only did they turn around and take the money, they held photo ops with giant checks and young girls in skimpy bikinis.
Okay, maybe not the last part…. but certainly the first!
Yes, but he also said that the Feds will set up the exchanges anyway. If the governors don’t take the medicade money, it will but ALL their hospitals in danger of going bankrupt. They decline the money at their own political peril.
Has anybody ever seen the fireworks on July 4th in DC? No, not on tv, I mean in Person?
I seen them, and they go off right over the Washington Monument.
This was the most spectacular thing I had ever seen… Then, we took the Metro Home, what a mistake. We had to wait 4 hours, it was so Crowded.
Not in DC. Have seen other fireworks in Maryland…on the water…can’t remember the name but it was a newly built harbor. Very nice time. I will have to do the DC one day.
Gobrooklyn, by your name, I’m figuring you might enjoy my story.
I watched the 4th of July fireworks on the Brooklyn Bridge the year they celebrated a special anniversary of “Liberty Enlightening the World” – the official name of the Statute of Liberty. (I forget what year it was, but it was a BFD!!) Absolutely amazing. The fireworks were shot from riverboats. The show was coordinated with music on a radio station that everybody had on, so it was like natural surround sound. The bridge was closed to traffic and a HUGE picnic was happening. The weather was perfect, not too hot. Just the right amount of breeze. Folks of all ages, all nationalities. Old people, kids — no crime, people were nice to each other. Folks were just chillin’ out. And when the fireworks started, the wave started from the BROOKLYN side, of course!
I’m not a New Yorker, never will be, but that night is up there in my top ten cool memories!!
Oh wow! Sounds like a great time.
That’s a typical 4th fireworks for NYC. I grew up with that and it was my biggest culture shock moving to Maine, where the word puny comes to mind. I miss them every year because I loooovvveee fireworks. BTW the riverboats are actually barges and the music is (or at least was) from POPs orchestra playing live somewhere.
I never saw the wave happen on the brooklyn bridge. That musta been really nice
And most of the stuff comes from my state in India.
That is cool!
Yep, saw them in 94. Awesome.
Yes. I’m a native Washingtonian and use to go almost every year while growing up.
hahahahahaaaaa!
Can anyone do anything about Crazy as a Loon Allen West? He needs some serious help. Now he’s running around saying that Obama wants Americans to “be his slave”. He seems nuttier by the minute, like he has lost his grip on reality. He’s yelling some garbage about Obama doesn’t want anyone getting up and earning a living, just wants everyone as slaves. West has been damaged.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/la-pn-allen-west-accuses-obama-of-wanting-americans-to-be-his-slave-20120702,0,756863.story
Allen West is not stable and he frightens me that he is in Congress. I pray that the people of FL sends him packing.
Ya know how they have mental assessments for people who want to be police officers, MPs, etc? It seems like there ought to be a mental stability test for congresspeople. Allen West & Michele Bachman come to mind, but I’m SURE there are a few I’m missing.
They would do well to add a civics test as well. A lot of these senators don’t seem to understand the ‘rules’ behind what they are supposed to be doing.
Will the Obama family be remaining at Camp David for another day, or coming back to the WH tomorrow? Tuesday as plan.
Chips, I’ve been following this website about a year now and have posted a few times, but now want to take time to thank you. Because of you, I can log into my peace on earth, where the love flows for our President, and all is positive. You have done a magnificant job with this site and I recommend it to every liberal that I encounter who’s in support of our President, as it was recommended to me by a friend. Thank you so very much for all that you have done and continue to do. I so much enjoy the love shared among the regulars. Chips, I send you a BIG TEDDY BEAR HUG! Thanks so much!
HI! Glad that you’re here with us, PALS….in this amazing place. Don’t be shy….

Isn’t that the age of maturity, or is it common sense?

I heard that it had to do with the Scientology. When Suri turns 7, something happens and Katie didn’t want that for her. That’s nice…couldn’t they have figured that out BEFORE they got married and had a child?
Crazy, huh? I’m sorry, but Scientology? {{SMH}}
I heard Katie ended this one, though. Still, all at 33 is quite the coincidence.

CC. what are the specific job requirements? I shall have to go tweak my resume accordingly, and start fine tuning my covering letter. 😆 😆 Seriously speaking, does the applicant have to be computer savvy? Maybe if you stated what the helper must be able to do it would save you from having to read letters from people who definitely wouldn’t qualify. For example, if helpers had to know how to download WE9 without breaking out in hives, then I’d know I’m excluded, etc. etc. 😉 VC
Not only do you have to be very computer savvy, but have a VERY thick skin. The manure that Chips wades through on a daily basis to protect us could fertilize 40 acres of soy.
I hear you, thanks Tien! I never gave the trolls a thought while penning my comment. I’ll think about them now, while doing a summer computer course. 😉
you mean, beyond unloading the crates of cheesy puffs into chips’ private quarters?
I think this is right: Republicans hate President Obama more than they love America.
I concur
yay. I took that Kaiser quiz.
You answered 10 out of 10 questions correctly, better than 99.6% of Americans.
http://healthreform.kff.org/quizzes/health-reform-quiz/results-page.aspx
You and me, amk. You and me!
And for me, that’s about the ONLY way I’m in the 1% !!! 😆 😆 😆
LOL. Congrats on becoming the 1%er.
Wow the number of people not scoring 10/10 went up. When I scored 10/10 this morning I was smarter than 96% of Americans.
Yah for you amk!! Me too! 10/10 answers correct and I know I owe that to this blog. Chipsticks has edumucated me on healthcare! I felt ridiculously proud of myself and posted the quiz on Facebook.
It’s quite shocking that 99.6% are getting at least a part of it wrong!
Awful pic. Without the ears, and cheezy grin I would not recognize him.
Hey, it’s a marked improvement over the b.s. “satire” cover they did of PBO and Mrs. Obama trying to make them out as some radical militants during the 2008 campaign.
Zactly what I was thinking, Dudette. We’ve come a LONG WAY since then. Fistbump!
yep..could be better…still, better than a pic of someone as the grim reaper…now,that could be a nice side by side comparison with the GOP holding the sickle
or is that scythe
Just recuperating from bad hard drive for days. Anyhow, it’s working now so l can post (hopefully until I get another message asking me to fix disk or buy a new disk ). I want to say what I think about TeaNN.(CNN) They are a part of the Nation.
CNN is taking up Fox’s slack.
http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=5502
The Six Steps” that Fox employs to create national controversies:
•STEP 1: Conservative activists introduce the lie.
•STEP 2: Fox News devotes massive coverage to the story.
•STEP 3: Fox attacks other outlets for ignoring the controversy.
•STEP 4: Mainstream outlets begin reporting on the story.
•STEP 5: Media critics, pundits praise Fox News’s coverage.
•STEP 6: The story falls apart once the damage has been done.
So much for Foxifcation. Love this pic.
Consequently, if CNN is gaining nothing from reshaping their editorial slant to mirror Fox, the only conclusion is that they are deliberately making a hard right turn because that is the direction they want to go. But this path has only resulted in their dropping to third place behind Fox and MSNBC. If CNN ever hopes to regain some of the luster of their glory days, they will need to differentiate themselves from Fox. They might want to take a stab at journalism. That would be novel in these days of advocacy tabloidism
Maybe we need to intervene in step 3.
Instead of spending so much time debunking their dumb stories, we should just start telling these other stations how stupid they look running with such obviously foolish stories that no sane person is gonna believe or read.
Tell them they sound as dumb as fox when they do that and remind them of fox’s ratings. Ask them if this is really what they want to aspire to? Bottom feeding?
Very well said, relellit! To think how far CNN has dropped in the “journalism” game is just appalling.
Thanks you amk for obama
The Kaiser quiz was very informative about healthcare.
I took the quiz too.
The thanks goes to meta. I saw her tweet and took the quiz.
Time for me to become a ‘murkan ?
Hi AMK, I too am wondering if I can become ‘murkan’ too. I passed the test earlier today.
Seriously this Blog needs to be compulsory reading for anyone who wants to get accurate information as well as assistance to perform various functions on the internet (me) and twitter (soon).
After a virtual stroll, I realize that the Anderson Cooper disclosure is receiving wide coverage. It dawned on me that CNN’s concocted poll figures are intended to avert rightwing’s disdain for the station, having another of its journalists revealing a sexual orientation that is abhorent to conservatives’ puristic nature.

Affordable Care Act Classes
Dear Senator McConnell:
Just heard on the local news a clip of you speaking to a group at Hardin Memorial Hospital this morning. Once again, you mentioned the 2300 page bill, as though that is too much for anyone to expect you to read and comprehend. That’s fine. We know you are lazy and you have whined about the burden of having to do your job for so long this is not surprise.
But, you added to that statement, “2300 page bill that nobody understands.” This is a lie, and you know it is a lie. Many of us have read and do understand the bill. If you want to admit that you are a lazy fool, at least you are being somewhat honest for a change. You do not have permission to try and make the rest of us look like fools with you. That is disgusting and totally unacceptable.
Here are a few links that might help you.
http://www.healthcare.gov/law/full/index.html (Site contains the entire bill as well as simple explanations that even you might be able to comprehend. Again, if you can’t read, my grandchildren will come read it to you.
https://class.coursera.org/healthpolicy-2012-001/wiki/index University of Pennsylvania offers a free class: Health Policy and the Affordable Care Act
A good leader would know this bill inside and out and would be able to explain it so that his constituents would understand.

That’s great. McConnell said that 30 million people not having health insurance “is not the point”. The truth will out.
Ironic isn’t it that those 30 million people pay taxes that cover Turtle’s salary and healthcare benefits, but their health and well being doesn’t mean shit to him or his cronies.
This life with mitch mcconnell blog is spot on–bookmarked it. Stole some of your comment to practice my tweeting. 🙂
Alrighty then!
That is superb! Well done and thank you

Well you night owl-ers, this is it for me. Have to get up at a reasonable time this morning. Today is the day I get to meet Theo67 so I better go rest my eyes so that I can make a good impression. 😉 Theo & I might even drop in to TODville together. See you all later, I hope.
Please please please, let him pick her!!!
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/02/bachmann-refuses-to-say-if-she-is-being-vetted/
Bachmann does not deny she is being vetted
definition of insanity right there… which the GOP like to do so…. bring it on! Unlike Caribou Barbie tho who came out of nowhere to “galvanize the base”, folks have already had a taste of Crazy-eyed Bachman in the Repug primaries until she dropped out. But hey, I’m all for getting more mileage out of the bat crap crazee “HPV vaccine causes mental retardation in girls” if Mittens picks her.
🙂
I’m with you Dudette – I would laugh uncontrollably if Bachmann were their choice. please GOP – dooooo iiiiiiittttt………
Everything on me is droopy, so I’ll say goodnight everyone!
Night Dudette. I’m right behind ya.. Fais de beaux reves!
Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond has resigned with immediate effect.
The move comes less than a week after the bank was fined for trying to manipulate inter-bank lending rates, sparking a government inquiry and calls for criminal investigations.
Mr Diamond said he was stepping down because the external pressure on the bank risked “damaging the franchise”.
Chancellor George Osborne said he hoped it was the “first step towards a new culture of responsibility” in banking.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18685040
You know what will bring in the ‘culture of responsibility’ ? Fukcing jail terms for these looters.
WASHINGTON — House Democrats raised an impressive $2.3 million since last week’s Supreme Court ruling on the health care law and had their biggest grassroots fundraising day in history, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said today.
Nearly 65,000 Democratic supporters gave an average of $35 since the high court ruled on Thursday that President Barack Obama’s signature health care law was constitutional. Grassroots donors gave more money on Saturday than any other day in history, DCCC chairman Steve Israel said.
Good Morning….
Good Morning Linda and all of TOD
This is very good news. 65,000 Dem supporters is a massive number for a two day fundraising period for the DCCC. If they got this many I am starting to be a lot more optimistic that the President’s reelection campaign got close to 100,000 donations after the SC decisions. I sure hope we had a really BIG month.
OFA called me last night and asked for $450.00. Yikes ! Since I am on a monthly auto donate I was a bit surprised…..but they did talk me in to another donation of $100.00 + $44.00 more for 44.
I am watching the Dan Señor Show, I mean Morning Joe.
The Robney Camp must be pleased, that this Guy is on tv every morning for at least three hours!
That’s fair?
I listened to him for a few minutes and he was saying the debate over the penalty for not purchasing health insurance was a tax or not was good for Willard. He went on to say PBO does not want to talk about ACA. There was no one on the set to push back on him. Morning Joe is rubbish.
GM all. Just want to emphasize that there seems to be a lot of confusion re the ACA mandate. People think that they will be forced to pay a tax whether they have insurance or not. They don’t understand that it only applies to those who can afford to buy insurance but refuse – taking their chances and trips to the emergency room. This is the number 1 point to get out there and push back on today. Second is Bain’s investment in he medical waste business. Let’s stir up right wing groups – ask them ‘ is this who you’re gonna vote for? This greedy hypocrite? Where are your principles”? Let’s cause some mischief – it could be a disaster for Romney with the evangelical base if we press hard enough. Any thoughts?
We can’t press anything if the media will not listen!
I stop watching Morning Joke years ago.
Who was at the table today ?
Señor, Alex Wagner and Halperin. Wagner is weak and easily gets over powered. Not sure her heart Iis in sticking up for the President, you can tell.
As for the other two, everything is spin baby spin, bad news for obama and an easy win for Robney, he should run away with this, no problems.
Good grief!
Jovie if anyone believe all these two bit pundits and their B.S., I still have that bridge to no where for sale. Every single one of these people never gave this President a chance against Hillary.
A prominent Hispanic Republican and Miami power broker accused Mitt Romney of lacking leadership and compassion in his approach to immigration in an interview with BuzzFeed this week, and warned that elements of the Miami party machinery won’t engage on election day without a more expansive Romney plan on immigration.
Rep. David Rivera, who represents the southwestern tip of the Sunshine State, is the only Latino Republican in the House who’s not on Romney’s Hispanic Steering Committee, kept at arm’s length by the presidential candidate because of a set of investigations into his personal finances. He recently introduced legislation that would give amnesty to some immigrants who came to to the country as children. And he said he has yet to see a serious, satisfying proposal from Romney on the issue.
“I think Hispanic voters expect more details as to what that ‘permanent solution’ might be that he keeps talking about,” Rivera said, referring to Romney’s pledge to fix the immigration system while in office.
In the telephone interview, Rivera rejected the notion that Romney can largely bypass the issue by focusing on Latinos’ high unemployment rate, as has apparently been the campaign’s strategy.

The Obama campaign accuses Mitt Romney in new campaign ad of being a “pioneer in outsourcing,” repeating a charge that the Romney campaign has strenuously contested over the last week.
The ad refers back to a June Washington Post story that showed Bain Capital invested in firms that created jobs overseas. The Romney campaign demanded a retraction of the story, to no avail, and more recently pointed to a FactCheck.org analysis questioning the “outsourcing” charge.
The Obama campaign has dismissed the FactCheck.org assessment as inaccurate and penned a letter to the truth-squadding website disputing its conclusions. And its newest commercial re-ups the attack on Romney’s business record.
“What a president believes, matters,” the ad begins. “Mitt Romney’s companies were pioneers in outsourcing U.S. jobs to low-wage countries. He supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.”
“President Obama believes in insourcing. He fought to save the U.S. auto industry and favors tax cuts for companies that bring jobs home. Outsourcing versus insourcing. It matters.”
