The Obama Diary 
Yay!
Gold metal winner!
2nd!
Silvah!! Yardarm can stand on the podium with me!
Closer
Hi Yardarm!!
Howdy Dudette.
Love your Gravatar. Fine-looking ship!
I went aboard the USS Constitution(Ol’ Ironsides) in Boston and later served on a wooden ship. The feeling was awesome. I sometimes think I was born a bit late. I would have love going to sea under sail.
Well, I haven’t been this close in a while! š
Hi Chips!!! Hi Proud!!
Hey how are you?
Good. Hungry though. Gotta stop skipping lunch! š
Hysterical
“It’s like Robin Hood in reverse. It’s Romney-hood.” Got laughs and a round of applause. Great line, dear Pres.
Thanks Chips.
Pres. Obama is not playing! š
I like it!
Sounds cool to me too…..Romney Hood. Take from the poor and middle class to give to the millionaires and billionaires.
That’s hilarious!
did he really say that?
Oh I live in CT and I did not realize PBO would be in CT today! I am actually on vacation so I am not in CT today. I must get to a campaign event during this election! I really hope to!
I almost missed POTUS speech, I was looking for it to start at 6:55.
After Pres. Obama used the word “RomneyHood” everyone’s using it on twitter now. The Power of Obama. š
That’s why whenever he’s giving a speech, the Koch Brothers put out their trollbots with some foolish anti-Obama hashtag…see what’s trending now.
I missed it!
Oh wait I got it on cspan.
Darn it’s over.
Mark Halperin has officially lost his freaking mind. How dumb can one person be?
Yes, I saw that too, but even Halperin had to admit that Reid’s comments about Romney have derailed Romney’s campaign and that the Repubs are acting foolishly. We’ll see how long this “Romney is hiding something” theme can continue. Must be something awfully nasty in his tax returns if he refuses to release them.
When I saw that that freaking lying Mark Halperin was going to be on Hardball, I turn the channel. Halperin knows no one is buying that B.S. If Mitt is so private, then why run for President? No, Mitt is hiding something that’s why he won’t release his tax returns.
Really? I thought Mark Halperin hung on every word Willard and wife utter. Both said there will be no more tax returns because that will give the opposition things to use against Willard . Ding , ding ,ding Halperin, keep up and keep the talking points BS straight.
He can’t even be a proper supporter while pretending to be a journalist. Why is he on any of these shows?
How bout if he wishes privacy he should not be running to be POTUS?
No one wasn’t able to get a video of Rachel Maddow Friday show 8-3-12. I was so hoping that it could be post up here. That opening segment of her show need to be seen. It show Mitt Romney for the lying double dealing bastard that he is.
Is this what you mean?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/#48497159
Oops – by the time I clicked “send”, yours had already posted. Worth repeating, though… š
No worries mate.
Is this the video you’re looking for? It’s in two parts.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/48497159#48497159
Good speech as always. Gosh, how I loathe mitt. This man is a rotten liar to the core, I have never detested a person as I do him. God help us from this loser. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the White house.
Indeed, I’ve never thought I’d feel more negatively about a person other than Sarah Palin. He’s just horrible.
I LOVE IT…..ROMNEYHOOD!
CHIPS!
CAN YOU WORK YOU PHOTOSHOP MAGIC LIKE YOU DID WITH THE MANKINII ON GINGRICH…SHOW ROMNEY IN A ROBINHOOD OUTFIT? PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!
Cool!
HP is reporting Willard said in 2002 that he would have been unable to host the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah had it not been for the “enormous spending and services of the federal government.” We shouldl see ads soon with that quote.
There’s a video of that:)
Obama’s campaign needs to make some ads highlighting the fact that Romney had help from the federal government to make the Salt Lake City Olympics such as great success. He didn’t do it by himself, like he’d like us all to believe.
LOL I came here to watch the “RomneyHood” line in a video. Can’t wait Chips!
Report says 15 percent of Mitt Romney Twitter followers are paid fakes
http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/08/mitt-romney-fake-twitter-followers/
It’s probably a lot more than that, just that some of those fakers are living, breathing human beings…
plus a huge network of College Republicans plus all of Brigham Young University and Mormons everywhere
Is there any thing Mitt Romney does honestly?
Honestly, no.
Willard is having another bad day.
You know, what did he expect? I mean, really? Did he have no clue whatsoever all this would come up? I mean, really? Duh.
I don’t know if anyone has noticed but I’m beginning to notice that the Twitter hashtag trends are becoming more and more right-skewed. Right now, there is a hashtag, #IDon’tSupportObama, which is the top trending phrase on Twitter right now. When I clicked on it relatively few tweets loaded and they seem to be coming from the same accounts over and over (not retweets). I’ve noticed that every time our President is giving a campaign speech or other important televised or online address, these anti-Obama hashtags seem to pop up from no where. I also noticed that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get any negative hashtag about Mitt Romney trending. Clearly there is some manipulation of the Twitter trends and I just want folks to be aware of it.
That’s what they’re doing with their campaign funds – paying for Tweets.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this were true. Since R-money bought his tweeples, why wouldn’t be by tweets and fake hashtags?
hopefruit2 and isonprize:
Wouldn’t surprise me that R-money is buying top trends, since all he’s got is money (no soul, no heart). But it’s concerning if its true that #Mittidiot, etc. hashtags won’t trend.
Hashtags for trending topics tend to have a short lifespan. Twitter looks for (delta) change, not overall volume. Trending topics was a controversy a couple of years ago when #Wikileaks wasn’t trending even though there was a huge volume of tweets with that hashtag. That’s when Twitter explained that it wasn’t stacking the deck against #Wikileaks.
Good question.
Click on the second picture down on the left side of Romney…..PBO would NEVER look that way. Never.
Willard is the fakiest, most shallow, most insincere, most awkward human being I have ever seen—–he always looks so uncomfortable in personal interactions, you would think he grew up in a bubble somewhere, which may be close to the truth—–or on another planet without human life. He goes on a fake shopping trip to a hardware store—trying to look like “every man”—-comes out carrying a bucket like he’s going home to scrub floors, or something—hahahahahaha. And when reporters ask what he was shopping for at the hardware store, he says “hardware”. OMIGOD—my 3 yr. old grandson could have come up with something more decent, more engaging, less secretive, less oblique. Willard is just putrid as a person. let alone a presidential candidate.
Or his new ad, where he is Driving His Car, but the ad only shows a close up of his Face. As if, they are hiding what kind of plush Car it might be?
Over at TPM they have polling data that show Romney’s unfavorables at their highest point since the primaries
I can’t seem to get a vision of a little hat with a feather and some tights on the Romulan…..handing out buckets of cash to the Monopoly Man.
Did any one see Romney loading groceries in his SUV? What a fake he is. And he thinks this is gonna humanize him?
No…But if the photo of him near the washing machine was an indication…..
I saw him on Rev. Al’s show. Like anyone is going to buy his regular person facade.
He thinks we’re stupid. We all buy groceries every week. When we watch President Obama doing ordinary things, it’s because he’s extraordinary. Romney doing normal things is abnormal – and it doesn’t negate the fact that he took a $77K tax cut on a dancing horse last year, and then made hundreds of millions of dollars (or more) and has done some very questionable things to avoid paying US (and foreign) taxes that pay for the military, infrastructure, firefighters, police, teachers and other common goods.
Hehehe, Preach it sister. He indeed looked awkward and abnormal loading those groceries and also holding that bucket of “hardware” stuff to his car.

You mean no elevator for the car?
Bwahahahahaha!!! He bought two ears of corn because he’s making dinner tonight since he’s got “folks coming over” tonight. Yeh right, enjoy your corn!
LOL!!
A guy who has a elevator for his cars in his mansion trying to show he’s like us by putting groceries in a car. Romney just don’t get it, it’s his policies that matter. Raising taxes on the middle class just so people like him can get more tax cuts.
Okay, people better and more informed than I is this really big news or just meh??
Syrian PM has defected.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19156286
It is big news, very big news. The President is more alone than ever.
Big, real big… HUGE!
I’ve got some phone calls to make tonight…my Monday night date for PBO….
JAY CARNEY SCHOOLS THE JACKALS ABOUT ROMNEY’S TAX RETURNS & HARRY REID
Watch the White House Crush Romneyās Blame Obama for Harry Reid Meme
By: Jason Easley
———————————————
In a last ditch attempt to make his unreleased tax returns go away, the Romney campaign jumped on the right wing blame Obama meme, which the White House turned into another Romney disaster.
.
.
That is over 1,000 words of transcript from the White House where they got to talk about tax cuts for the middle class, Mitt Romneyās unpopular position on taxing the rich, and Romneyās tax returns.
On top of all of those goodies, the White House crushed Romneyās conspiracy theory that blames Obama for Harry Reidās allegations about his tax returns.
——————————————–
http://www.politicususa.com/watch-white-house-crush-romneys-blame-obama-harry-reid-meme.html
Those jackals should press Romney the same way they pressed The Mild Mannered Reporter…..
but that is not their mission to do so…
“Those jackals should press Romney the same way they pressed The Mild Mannered Reporterā¦..”
The jackals can’t prettyfoot58; they work for Romney.
hey nath,,,
unfortunately…that is the case…. š¦
The MSM are making themselves look really foolish and bad siding with Willard against Harry Reid’s comments.
They’re exposing themselves. And their outrage over what was said on the Senate Floor is hollow outrage, given what the GOP have said on the Senate Floor that has spread hate, lies, and worked to sabotage the government of the United States.
Is Reid stating on the Senate Floor that a presidential candidate should show his tax records really worse than the Minority Leader declaring on the Senate Floor that he’s plotting to bring down the President of the United States, even if it means destroying the country’s economy?
I email Anderson Cooper and Wolf and told them that Mitt Romney could shut every one up, he could prove Reid to be a liar by releasing his tax returns.
I heard Wolf”s friend Jack Cafferty read an email from Anniebella a week or so ago saying you wanted PBO in 2012 more than you did in 2008. It seemed to shut Jack up. It was a great email.
President Obama released his short form and long form birth certificate.
Ed is BACCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! And Romney is still a natural born liar!!!
Never thought I would be so happy to see Ed!
Ditto!!!!! He looks rested, too. I’m praying for his wife, she must be doing well.
Yes. I wish her a speedy and complete recovery.
Yeah. I am happy to see Big Ed back and he started where he left off by tearing into mitt and his taxes.
Sure hope they begin to realize the real power of Twitter … it can be a major platform for mobilizing financial support for President Obama if done well. This is the First “Twitter” US Presidential Election, let’s make oodles of history …
Just retweeted. Thanks Bob for all the good work for the reelection of our Pres.
And that means the gopress, too!
Wish we still had a true “working” press…
The Reporters are getting more School Yard Mean, as we get closer to the Election!
The more Robney falls behind, the More the MSM will become smarmy.
If they could, they would Haze us Democrats, or at least, it seems that way!
Yes, they are getting openly hostile because they’re panicking. Things are not going quite as they expected. They thought this would be another repeat of 2010.
Yep…the GOPress.
You are right. today, I just want to bitch-slap these AlphaSierraSierra HotelOscarLimaEchoSierra!
Matt Lewis?—-from the Daily Caller?—-Tucker Carlson’s outfit?—-that one? Ugh. No respectability or honesty to be found on any of their postings.
Q: Why won’t Mitt release his returns?
A: Because he’s a Taxy Vader. http://twitter.com/Kernelwars/status/232574191654817792/photo/1
I watching Ed Shultz and this chick Susan is sitting on her high horse about Harry Reid unfortunately that Lizz lady stumbled on a very good point when the GOP lies ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I can’t believe the GOP spokes person is complaining about dirty politics. WTF?
The Republicans and MSM complaining about Harry Reid is going nowhere. I cannot believe anyone pays Susan as a consultant.
Will you look at that? Oh man!
Yes. The redwoods are beautiful. I can’t believe that millions of these trees had been cut down before they stopped and started conservation of this wonderful trees.
Magnificent!
I’m so jealous that my family got to go see the Redwoods last year without me. Must.make.a.pilgramage!
These Guys are such Geeks, in a good way!
Good stuff! Thanks Jovie!
Perfect description!
Wow! Dems, take lessons!
And, Aaron, Bob Weinstein, and Anne Hathaway are throwing a Fundraiser for PObama!
But but but Jenna Jameson says that tax credits should only be for People who give great …, and Clint Eastwood said that Bermuda Accounts need a boost and Dick Morris said that it’s a Robney landslide because it was in one of his dreams and…
Is Jenna going to be in Tampa?
Her and her buddies are going to all the strip clubs here. Home of the strip clubs!
Romney Hood: “Where the lies multiply like rabbits.”
That’s a tweetworthy quote if ever I saw one. š
Ed Shultz is making me cry. God bless Wendy and she has mine and all our prayers to get well and beat this. I remember the first time I heard that my aunt was told she had Lung cancer and then later Pancreatic cancer. She beat the lung cancer and had been cancer free in that area over 20yrs, however, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 73, that was a heart stopper and she battled it for four years.
Hmmmm… that’s odd. I don’t see Donald Trump or Sarah Palin listed anywhere on this:
http://www.gopconvention2012.com/2012/08/rnc-chairman-reince-priebus-announces-first-wave-of-republican-convention-headliners/
Is the tide turning? Will responsible media platforms start calling Romney what he is -a liar?
I’m not feeling so hot today, so this FoxtrotUniformCharlieKiloEchoRomeo is really getting on my last nerve:
Yes! RT to .@whpresscorps
This Mark Knoller call himself a journalists. He is a JOKE.
LOL! Alycee you won’t believe it but I was just about to post your tweet here. Knoller is getting nastier and nastier by the minute. Thanks for pushing back on that stupid idle hack.
AWESOME tweet, Alycee!
The man who has expatriated more money overseas than any other Presidential candidate in American history suddenly cares about the American middle class?
See Wikipedia entry “HMS Romney”
That is funny.
Halperin is desperately trying to change subject off of Robney taxes, to VEEP stakes.
To me, this VEEP stakes, is the most boring set of clues ever to enter the Earths atmosphere!
I wonder if Mitt has any money in this bank. Just wondering…hmmmm.
—————————————————————————–
Standard Chartered bank ‘in $250bn scheme with Iran’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19155577
Standard Chartered bank illegally “schemed” with Iran to launder as much as $250bn (Ā£161bn) for nearly a decade, a US regulator says.
The New York State Department of Financial Services said that the bank hid 60,000 secret transactions for “Iranian financial institutions” that were subject to US economic sanctions.
It labelled UK-based Standard Chartered a “rogue institution”.
The bank has been threatened with having its US banking licence revoked.
The allegations are far larger than those involving HSBC, which was recently accused by the US Senate of failing to prevent money laundering from countries around the world including Mexico and Iran. It has set aside $700m to deal with any fines and penalties arising from those allegations.
The bank is ordered to appear before the regulator soon to “explain these apparent violations of law” from 2001 to 2010…[more in the article]
This is a big fish!
Romney and Cheney have some deep ties to Iran….might need to do some sleuthing….
http://www.perrspectives.com/blog/archives/000552.htm
LOL! Fantastic!
Brilliant!
WAY!
Watching Rachel on having a sit in “rager” for Harry Reid. So funny. š š š
Folks, everybody check their emails, the Obama camp wants our impression if the VP candidates.
LOL!
Rachel slams “Politifact” as not being credible on anything including their recent “pants on fire” attack on Harry Reid. Just as a reminder, Politifact is owned by the Tampa Bay Times – which is the official RNC Convention news source. So I’m not at all surprised that they’ve now become part of the “Save Mitt Romney” media campaign…
It’s 9:33PM. Does anyone know where Dylan Rotigan is? Does anyone care?
No.
BRAVO.
Dylan who?????
