congrats on 1st Tien Le. I do not have much money but I do register voters everyday. I am making plans to talk to a few churches here in Florida…hopefully this will go through. Have a great day from stormy Florida.
proud – Votes are better than dollars, because – unlike Republicans – Democrats don’t buy votes!
Take c/o yourself in stormy Florida – used to live there and I know the feelin’. Hunker down, as they say!
Awful man!
Nasty man!
Notice the diverse crowd?
So – Romney went there, just shows how desperate he is.
Haven’t had a chance to comment much lately. School started and OFA is busier everyday.
This is a perfect opportunity to use titter to push out the president’s achievements. As we send out Twitter responses to Romney’s comments tuck in a positive about PBO
ie
Romney makes birther joke PBO shares vision for middle class families and fights to extend life of Medicare
As I rite this example I know the Twitter folks can do better, but this may help get the ball rolling. Utahliberal and Bobfr, please share your gems so the clueless like me can retweet.

Repost wiw. Thanks for your idea.
I like that…
“MYTH” is a cowardly, dirty dog whistling to his racist , fox tail wearing -taupe and birther hunter, Donald Trump.
WE NEED TO MOLLYWHOP HIS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its on now. AND FUCK ANDREA MITCHELL!!!!!!!! Dried up ole heifer.
What did that shriveled up old prune say now?
That stupid moron keeps saying Romney was ad-libbing and making a joke because he didn’t have a teleprompter to guide him. Anyone with sense watching the video saw that it was a calculated statement.
Is that an excuse? Would he need a teleprompter at a G-8 summit (God forbid). Who excuses something like this? She should go to her gated community and get the hell away from a microphone.
AMEN. Tell it like it is.
I can’t stand that dried up ole heifer. She makes me so sick always clearing her throat and blowing spit bubbles. Mrs Greenspan should have enough money to retire. She should let some young blood take her place.
Can I beat him up now? With my cane? I’ve taken my outrage pill with my coffee.
Good Morning Joan. Yes, you have my permission. Be careful and do not hurt yourself. We will only ask for the people to get out and vote and then we will show Mitten the Victory Certificate on Nov.6, 2012. Then this will give these awful, mean-spirited people something to cry about. We will win at the voting booth. HZ
This is an incredibly powerful ad and needs to be shared with everyone. The fact that is features Republican women is just icing on the cake. Their message resonates with all women.
Love this.. Even comments were nice.
And, #ADollarADayToOFA >>>> Text 62262
Sorry for the duplicate!
This!
Exactly. My first thought..no, we don’t want to see your bc, mf. Show us your tax returns, asshole.
LOL. With that ad, he just proved the point we have been making since day one. PBO had to show his bc, Bozo doesn’t have to because he has the benefit of his whiteness.
Chips is right – don’t get mad – donate! Also if tweeting make sure to get in a reference to:
taxes
medicare
rape/ryan/akin
He wants to change the topic and rev up his base for the convention – don’t let the reporters get away with it. Meta had a brilliant twitter response in previous thread – definitely worth a RT. I swear, if I got a tweet like that – no matter how big of an asshole – I’d die of shame.
bob – you are so good at the tweets that you managed to get all the points into one tweet! bravo!
Happy to help, cluny, any way possible …
Yeah, he’s really good at that, for sure.
Bob is incredible! This place has some of the best twitters. Besides bobfr, we have UT, AMK, META, Hopefruit and and many others.
I wanted to add to Chips wonderful suggestion to donate, we can also pledge to volunteer.
When the election was 100 days away, I was inspired by many here, especially Donna who is getting a donation everyday between now and the election.
I decided to volunteer at least 1 hour per day until Nov. 6th. I often do this from home using the predictive dialer that calls into Nevada or Colorado. Sometimes I work at the Farmers Market, sometimes I’m at the OFA office or attending a phone bank. That is one of the reasons I will have less time to be here at this blog, but I think folks understands.
What would happen if everyone here did the same? Hpw many calls could we make, how many voters could be registered or volunteers brought into the fold?
Mrs Obama said “It just takes one” – one can have many forms
one person, one donation, one hour of work
Well said WIW!
Thanks so much for calling into CO wiw, we really appreciate your help!
This infuriates and disgusts me. PBO has so much dignity and honor.
OFA just got another donation from me.
Please help me across the finish line on my FR page here at TOD. I am almost there. Thanks for your generous donations to help POB/Biden bring this on home.

Just sent some change your way as well.
Thanks so much LL. I just noticed that I have just received 3 donation notices. Thanks so much!!!! HZ
Just donated, HZ. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Thank you so much PJ!!! HZ
You’re welcome, Sweetie. And thanks for the thanks. 😉 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
HZ, I am headed over to your page to donate again today. This warrants a second donation today.
HZ, I could not access this link to your website.
COS, I do not understand why. I am on the list that Chips posted on our site here. I am under HZ.
Thanks so much.HZ
COS, Chips has it posted above now. Thanks so much.HZ
Just sent a donation. Mitt Romney has truly sickened me this time!
HZ, just send a donation through your page. This really made me sick and angry. I feel a litle better now.
Thanks Eveingeorgia. This is one way for sure to make sure his hatefulness will Never sit behind that desk in the Oval Office. I am so sick that my pressure went sky high. But we will win this one. POB is a good and decent man, and those of us who support him and are working hard to get him re-elected will see the good fruits of our spirits. I medication for my pressure, but it stills hurts when this crap comes out of their mouths. HZ
You are so welcome. Yes it hurts. Those of us with tender sensibilities really feel this stuff in ways that can be detrimental, but we have to be vigilant. I don’t want to even think about trying to live in a Romney/Ryan ruled world.
I just donated $25. and plan to donate some more next week.
I wanted to share a story from the Wednesday Night Market 2 days ago.
An older man – 60+ came up to me and asked how he could “register to vote for President Obama”. I gave him the form and explained that the process was the same no matter who he voted for. He told me he had never voted – remember this is an older gentleman. He said he had seen Mrs. Obama speak on TV and he realized that President Obama was doing important things and he wanted to support him.
He left smiling and clutching his stub saying “this means I can vote for President Obama?”
Although this election will be very tough, we will all look back on moments like that and be glad we participated.
Press On
Those are the deeds that will matter most on 6 Nov!!! Thank you for all you do.
Cool, thanks for sharing this heartwarming story WIW 🙂
Simply lovely, WIW.
It’s time ….
He wants it hard, he’ll get it hard …
yes, bob. it’s time. bring it, buddy!
He crossed ‘the line’ today and he’ll never, no matter how retroactively skilled he is, get back on the other side.

Last post for a while,
I have been working on a revised election toolkit page. I wanted something more compact and easy to access.
Here is my attempt.
http://www.whatisworking.com/2012/01/election-toolkit-for-50-states.html
I still have stuff to fix but I am hoping it is better. Let me know if there are resources you would like to see added (just respond below) and thanks to all who contribute links I try and organize.
You are such an inspiration, Linda. THANK YOU for all you do.
Thank you, Linda. I am sending this to everybody I know. Please add Republican Women for Obama and Don’t Get Angry, Donate from Chips, if that is permissible.
Great job Linda. . . tweeeeeted!
MITT ROMNEY EPITOMIZES THE GOP “CULTURE OF VICIOUSNESS”.
He is just an evil man, that’s it.
AARP released it’s Voter guide today-
http://vote.aarp.org/index.do
well, since mittbot brought it up, let’s look at his supposed “certificate of live birth” shall we?
http://www.mediaite.com/online/mitt-romney-releases-official-birth-certificate-to-reuters/
note that it’s not “long form” and is the same or less detailed the the two president obama has provided. and what’s with the font and printing?!? there’s no way that was typed in 1947!! so considering mittbot’s dad was born in mexico, he’a proven pathological liar, and he’s a powerful member of a highly secretive church, i’d say it’s time to get confirmation from the michigan department of records that this cropped, one-page “certificate of live birth” that mittbot provided is not a forgery.
thanks for the heads up mittbot, and since you decided to bring your wife into this topic, let’s see hers while we’re at then. have fun next week in tampa, mittbot!
It says ” date of issue January 18, 2012 ” on the bottom.
so the state issues copies, they retroactively go back in and etch-a-sketch in new printing? does this mean mittbot doesn’t have an original, not even as a photocopy?!? what’s he been using all these years?
https://twitter.com/TrinaCuppett/status/239056072176967683
Exactly right!
also, we have no power over where we are born, but when you tie your dog to the top of the car, and leave it up there for a 12 hour drive, even after it’s demonstrated that it’s sick, that is evidence of your character, and absolutely relevant to the presidency.
I liked your reply much better than Dave Weigel’s ;D
Bravo, Amk! You’ve really been on fire exposing these mf idiots!
Absolutely gorgeous image of PBO I saw as a twitter avatar:
I would love to have that on my phone wallpaper.
jojo, just drag it off the screen and upload it to your phone! I’ve had the hope poster as my phone screen forever but you’ve given me this idea! It’s so gorgeous.
On iPad or iPhone, just ‘save image’… Easy peasy…. Myth Robney is an attention getting child in an adult body… I think he is terrified of the idea that he may somehow become President, knowing in his own heart (if he has one) that is is grossly under qualified… And is doing himself in with these pathetic antics…. I truly hope it works, and he finds himself out of the running, the sooner the better.
Hi Meta, Just made a small donation on your page. Every time HC got my blood pressure up in the last cycle a donation helped me calm myself.
Thanks so much! I know PBO will appreciate every single cent coming to him today. It’s great to have your support.
On the Birther Remark-
The Twitter Brigade is attacking, both Armies, one paid and one Volunteer, are going Toe to Toe.
With the News Media attempting to remain neutral, yet, a bunch of journalists quickly run to their Partisan corners.
Fascinating!
Done. This could be the beginning of the end for this idiot. Glad to hear his surrogates think racist jokes are no different than dog jokes. What a sad state for their party and candidate.
Just made a quick donation of $14.00. We should be relentless in pressuring this racist pile of shit show his taxes!
Just be on the alert for a new CNN poll out this afternoon at 4PM. Any pro-Romney results to be taken with the appropriate amount of salt. Jefferson Gauvin – our resident Twitter pollster warns:
I don’t watch TeaNN. And do not give a darn about their poll.
Yup. But just in case some TODers who might be watching so that they don’t get alarmed by what they think is “bad news for Obama.”
Could folks post their fundraising pages so we can support the TOD family and PBO at the same time.
oops – nevermind chips has done it.
Thank you, dear PBO supporter!!
Breaking on TeaNN’s website.

I just donated $50. that I can’t afford BUT I can’t ignore Romney’s trashy joke… and Chips thank you for reminding us the best way to get this mofo is to win.
This is for the suggestion by whatisworking above: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Cookemom
Jennifer Granholm:
“Yes Mitt, we all know you were born in Michigan. What we don’t understand is why you knifed us in the back when Michigan was on its knees.”
http://bit.ly/SwUxgi
If I was a Secret Service officer protecting Mitt, I would be so disgusted. I’m sure Mitt’s SS speaks with the other officers protecting POTUS. Mitt is disgusting. He’s trying to steer us away from his taxes and abortion. Let’s not fall for it.
Totally agree Allison. I told my sister the same thing. He knew exactly what he was doing, and how this would distract away from his taxes and abortion, especially what was revealed on the “Gawker” website yesterday. He went to far.
CNN has a Poll every other Day, one good for the President and one good for Robney.
Which is not only improbable, it’s Impossible.
Pres. Obama is getting flooded with donations from here and on twitter too. Been doing my part also. And have been tweeting barackobama.com links and encouraging people to keep on donating and volunteering.
This hit people at a gut level. Even a lot of reporters (the honest ones). What Romney did was out and out full blown racism. It was beyond the pale.
And, UT, I’ve tested the 62262 texting of $ to OFA and all seems well, so all .@BarackObama tweeps can truly do #ADollarADayToOFA! If I had time I’d create a ‘purpleshoes family table tip jar’ app so folk could click it a dollar at a time and when it hit a certainly level it would automatically text the total to OFA 🙂
I have the 62262 on my text…do I enter? do I enter a phone number or email address then what?
You text GIVE to 62262.
Thanks. Gave $10. I donated earlier this month to BarackObama.com, $500 and yesterday to the DCCC $100.
MTP is live Sunday from RNC Convention with, wait for it…, John McCain.

Hi all, consider donating through here and I shall be forever grateful 🙂 https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/ritafundraiser
Rita, I just donated $25.00 to your page to help meet your goal. I have not donated in a while and I was motivated to do so today.
Dear ewok2 (Theresa 🙂 thank you so much! I saw that and I’m pumped. Increased my goal to $600 now 🙂
Gotta love the Obama campaign.

I saw a glimpse of the promo…..I swear UpChuck Toad was drooling in it.
I don’t watch Chuck Todd, and you can bet I will not be watching the birther Mitt Romney.
I won’t be watching….I’d rather watch housewifes of NJ (which i hate all those stupid shows) then to watch that birther, racist, liar.
No worries…I don’t like Chuckie and i won’t use the words to tell you how I feel about that coward who is married to miss ann.
Good evening all, long day, but I did catch that CRAVEN LIAR little spiel about the birth cert. For a certainty, that chuckise show will not be watched in this house. Gawd, I wish I could do more, like donate.
When I first read about this (unable to see video at work) I read that Romney’s comment came in response to something said or asked by a member of the audience. Can someone confirm that for me and what it was the audience member said? Remember when Mitt was talking to a crowd and a woman called PBO a “monster” and all Mitt did was nod his head and move on, tyhereby giving affirmation to the woman’s comment? This is like the same thing, except worse. It is like he said, back then, “Well, at least nobody has called me a monster.”
Also, question for people. I know that one can contribute up to $5,000 by dividing between primary and general campaigns. When is the dividing line. I can’t afford cash, but I have a credit card that can absorb it and I’ll worry about paying it off later.
Don’t quote me, but I think the dividing line is once the nomination is secured.
I have been wondering about that also……..
I am on auto donate every month and wonder if after the Convention….it just goes in to the General Election campaign…..
oh…just thought of this…
You could donate to the Super Pac….. no limit there.
You can donate up to $5,000.00 right now. 2500.00 will go toward the primary and 2500 toward the General Election and feel free to deposit as much of that as you like here Japa 😉
https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/donnanoshock3
You can give it all since he is the nominee. I maxed out months ago and am now donating to the Victory Fund.
Hey Japa, I don’t think it was in response to a question, because I was watching the live feed on CSPAN when he said the remarks and don’t recall anyone asking him any question. It was part of his introduction at the beginning of his stump speech. That makes it even worse, because it was totally unprovoked and uncalled for. He could have just said, Both Ann and I are from Michigan and we loved growing up here..or something to that effect. But no, he had to notch it up by invoking Birther memes.
Thanks. And you are correct, it does actually make it worse. It was totally intentional. Let’s see, he is currently at 0% of the AA vote. Should end up at -10% now.
Scrounged up a few more sheckles to donate. Can never remember which TODers I got earlier this month. This time I just picked every one listed on the first line! Getting near end of month, so not a lot, but happy to help all you great PBO warriors. Much love from Texas (ugh)
The Republican Party in Action….
The Republican attorneys general of Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, North Dakota and Texas filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court arguing that a key provision of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. Significantly, the brief points to the fact that the Voting Rights Act impedes laws intended to make it more difficult for racial minorities to cast a ballot as a reason why Court should cast a skeptical gaze on the landmark voting rights law responsible for breaking the back of Jim Crow:

“Cheat to Win” that is the RepubliCon way. In fact, that is the only way they can win Bas-turds.
Linda, I’m sure Thomas, Scalia, Alito, Roberts and Kennedy will think this sounds just about right.
countering the rethug claim that a second term would for pbo would be a storm of foreign disasters.
‘ Imagine it’s November 7, President Barack Obama has won a second term and he now looks abroad, ready to pursue his foreign policy vision essentially free of electoral constraints.
Would the specter of “Obama Unleashed” that Republicans have conjured up during the presidential campaign become the new reality on the world stage?
Not very likely. ‘

Lawd Have Mercy!
My staff took me out for a “delayed birthday celebration lunch” today so I have been away from my computer for several hours. I was sitting there eating and my cell phone kept buzzing. Everytime I get a donation my phone pings. I said to myself, “that Chips must have posted our fundraisers and those TOD’ers are donating. how nice” Little did I know that this fools had gone full bore birther and don’t you just love the way the media is making excuses for him.
I’m off to fundraise every damn where I can. I’m going to make that nasty man eat those words.

I follow Cher, too, love her passion, love the fact she doesn’t care how she spells words! What a great take down. Spell that take down any way you want, Cher!
LOL, Cher!
The difference between the Romney’s and you.
Let’s say you or I make $100,000.
$100,000 Gross Pay
20,370 Federal Income Tax (21%bracket)
4,320 State Income Tax
4,200 Social Security
1,450 Medicare
$ 30,340 Total Taxes
$ 69,660 Net Pay – Cash Received
Now let’s say to make it easy, Mit and Ann Romney, through the “legal” tax dodges afforded Bain Capital Fund VIII LP, earn the same.
$107,650 Gross Income
$ 0 Federal Income Tax
$ 0 State Income Tax
$ 0 Social Security
$ 0 Medicare
$ 0 Total Taxes
$107,650 Net Income – Cash Received

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/24/1123704/-Bain-Tax-Bombshell-Bigger-than-Before
Based on yesterday’s document dump.!
Wow Linda. I went to Dailykos and read this post; maybe that is why Romney is getting desperate enough to throw out a birther comment! Isaac won’t be the main threat to Romney going to Tampa: the dark cloud of his taxes is getting bigger, Akin’s remarks and the reaction to them plus his tie to Ryan won’t go away, and now he has become a birther!
He makes me physically ill……
What a vile, racist, hateful creature this guy is. But living in MA, I am not in the list bit surprised by his birtherism speech, because this is a very selfish people despising dolt. And most of us here in MA arent surprised and when some folks are wondering how low he could go, we sure know he is a low down bigoted idiot. I am steaming MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.
thought some more…the two birth certificates PRESIDENT obama has already released are as detailed or more than mittbot’s “certificate of live birth.” and we also have two birth announcements from two different newspapers when president obama was born. so mittbot, let’s see some birth announcements from the michigan papers when you were born. president obama has proven his american citizenship far more than the son of a mexican-born father has, so let’s see it, mittbot!
The difference between PBO referring to what Romney put on his roof, and Myth mentioning his birth certificate? Myth R-money actually put his dog on the roof of his car. PBO was born in Hawai’i.
PBO referenced something that was TRUE. R-money is whipping up a racist, stupid crowd mentioning something that is FALSE, has been proven FALSE, time and time again.
Besides, R-money, we don’t want to see your birth certificate, WE WANT TO SEE YOUR TAX RETURNS.
Is he going to drop out?
I guess not!
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! he should stay in and tell the party bosses to go screw themselves!
He’s not dropping out, and CNN won’t be carrying the presser live because they say it’s not news. But most importantly they would rather talk about their stupid push poll that they’ve just manufactured to make a “good news for Rommney” story.
with Huckabee now strongly behind him, I doubt Akin is going anywhere. Like I said yesterday, it would serve ’em right if Huckabee had Akin come with him to the convention as his +1
No Birth Cert? Well..WE DID ASK TO SEE YOUR TAX RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s this really cool Tumblr called “90 Days. 90 Reasons.” People write down their reasons for why Pres. Obama needs to be reelected. It’s pretty cool so far.
http://90days90reasons.com/index.php
New post everyone:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/08/24/this-and-that-32/
Donated today…….Will keep donating! As much as I can. That horrible man has got to be defeated, and not just marginally, he has to be trounced! Also, we have to give the President a Congress that he can work with.
My fond wish is that Romney will be buried, and we will NEVER have to hear the awful name again. I am so tired of his constant running for President.
The American people don’t like you Myth! LEAVE!!!
