13 is an unlucky number? Huh! It’s magical: Some of us were born on the 13th 😕
Okay, I’m not going to be sloppy about this ….. promise ….. well ….. ish …. except to say: thank you everyone for taking the blog to another very lovely landmark, 13 million hits, this journey with you all has been pretty damn delightful and amazing. Genuine and endless thanks to you all for keeping me company along the way, and for being forgiving about the occasional meltdown. 😳
****
I think – hope – you know by now I hate mentioning the money word ….. but if you have a spare $13, it would be completely sweet if you could donate to any of these TOD fundraisers, just to mark the, ah, historic occasion:
a4alice * Alycee * BWD * CollegeKay * Cookemom * DonnaDem4Obama
Hgerhard * HZ * Judith Fardig * Mae Who Love Our CIC
Marlz * Meta * Pamela *prettyfoot58 * proudmemberofglobalzero * Rita * Theo67 * The Obama Diary
****
And if you have anything left over, you could donate to some of the Democratic candidates trying to win back Congress …. which would make PBO’s second term even more perfect:
Like Elizabeth Warren
If there are any other candidates you’d like to promote, please link them in the comments. Thanks.

Thanks again everyone.
Forward 😉
The Obama Diary 
First??
Well whaddaya know?
Happy Birthday first to you, Grace! I’ll be 2nd!
Thanks for the Birthday wishes Pamela;)
You are welcome, I think it was yesterday, and you were out having birthday fun, but sometimes a birthday can last all week, even all MONTH!
My kids call it their birth “month”, not their birth “day”.
I’m just grateful to have a birthday. It beats the alternative:)
My daughter also, calls it for the whole month! Maybe they learned that from us when they were little? 🙂
Happy Birthday/birth month, Grace. I hope you had a wonderful day filled with love.
Happy Birthday Grace, celebrate all week.
Smart kids. I should have thought of that long ago. Who knows what good things come your way if you believe every day in a month is your birthday.
Happy Birthday.
Congrats on first, Grace! And it’s your Birthday too? We’ll we’ve gotta do something about that, don’t we?
Be right back!
Virgoes Rule! Happy Birthday, Grace.
Yes, we do.
Don’t tell anybody, but mine is next week on the Nasty Nineteenth. Me and Soledad will be rockin it (in our respective spaces, that is)! 🙂
44buttons!
Oh dear, oh hoot! Just found these stunning 44 buttons collection at the store, Nd of course I had to buy it right away to make sure I am not missing ANY button! And it includes a limited edition 50th birthday of PBO button, now who an pass that up? 😆
Some folk need reminding …
Once again, Congratulations on 13 Million Chips!!! and, good for you Grace 🙂
Just mentioned at the bottom of the previous thread that some Libyan tweeps that we follow have been indicating persistent aircraft activity over Benghazi and at least one significant explosion – all since sunset today … note it is now ~ 0435 in Libya.
The administration sent in Drones…
Jovie, we don’t know what ‘the administration’ has done … until they tell us 🙂
One of my patrons said she’d heard that the Navy was in the area. Really, Obama is NOT GW Bush. He takes out our real enemies; he doesn’t start wars of choice that put us further into debt.
Precisely, LL. We’ve got at least 2 missile cruisers on station and probably a bunch of other assets, but before anything happens, we now know conclusively, that our President will have thought through the details, to the finest granularity, and attempted to do what is best for America.
One of MSNBC’s shows said last night that PBO sent some Marines to the embassy the Americans were sent to and 2 military ships and drones would be surveying the Libyan border.
THIRTEEN MILLION !!!!!! (AND YOU WERE ALREADY FREAKIN’ AWESOME CHIPS!)
Holla!
congratulation Chips
The topline: The long-awaited report on how the Obama administration would implement sequestration will be released Friday, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday.
Congress passed a law requiring the report in July, but the White House missed the deadline that was set for last week. The report is supposed to explain how the across-the-board cuts to sequestration would be implemented for both defense and non-defense spending. In the 2013, the cuts would total $109 billion.
The report could shed more light on sequestration for defense contractors, who complained in letters to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) released this week that the uncertainty surrounding sequestration was hurting their bottom line.
Congratulations, Chips. The space you created here has kept us sane, given us joy, lifted us up on dark days and given us a family to come home to at the end of a busy day supporting our president. It takes a very special person to create a place like this. There aren’t enough words to thank you for what you’ve done here.
Not to mention it keeps us from our chores, and anything else which we can put off, for as long as possible! Says she who seldom sits down while awake until I get home and have time to try catching up!
what Jackie said x1000 Chips… w/o you & what you’ve created here, I’d have never been able to support POTUS out loud.. as I have few folks to share him with in my area.. plus my family is a tad tired of hearing about him 😉 In all seriousness: Thank you so very much.
Well, full disclosure, I was born on sept 13 and I am so happy that Chips has reached this milestone and grateful for the joy and sanity that the Obama Diary has given to us all.
{{{{{{{{Edwina}}}}}} Happy birthday, you sly fox! 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDWINA!
Happiest of Birthdays to you edwina… enjoy!

Happy, Happy Birthday Edwina!
My dear mom who is resting in peace birthday was 9/11 and I miss her much and my grand daughter Alyssa’s birthday is today, the 14th who is a one year of age.
Good morning TODers.
This is such a bee-yoo-tee-FUL video, would love to share it to my FB page, but the link does not seem to take me anywhere…. Do I need t use the link to the whole page, coz I WILL!
You are an amazing treasure, Chips. Don’t tell you often enough how much you are loved and appreciated.
Now let’s reelect PBO and some Democrats in Congress!
Tammy Duckworth, IL-8 to defeat Joe Walsh. http://www.tammyduckworth.com/
Speaking of the thirteenth, my darling granddaughter Emily was born on Friday the thirteenth of November. I say good luck and congratulations chips!
She’ll be celebrating her b-day at the end of “Sweet Week of Euphoria” that will follow PBO’s re-election. So it’ll be doubly sweet! 🙂
Absolutely! As Jackie Gleason said, how sweet it is!
Congratulations to our special Chips. Thank you and bless you for providing us this refuge and this amazing family.
13 mil on the 13th. My husband summited Mt. Katahdin today and finished the Appalachian Trail. He named his hike Walking 4 More Tomorrows to raise money for childhood cancer research and to honor Walker. And, today was Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. (September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month). A special, special day for many reasons!
Wow, that is AWESOME!! What a wonderful achievement for a great cause. Hugs to you both!
That’s wonderful!
Congratulations, tnmtgirl, and what a worthy cause.
This is for the Birthday Girl — Grab a Mop Grace! Happy a deliriously Happy Birthday Weekend!!
Remember to hold on to something or someone if you have to, but Get Up and Shake That Thang!! 😀
Okay, I meant have a deliriously happy… aww, you know what I meant. 😀 {{{Grace}}}
Dudette, you are awesome!
I love KC & the Sunshine Band, and my Booty is Shaking {{{woo hoo}}}
Thanks for the Best Birthday EVAH….
Obama/Biden 2012
😀 😀 😀
And Happy Birthday to you also Grace ~ Have a wonderful one… Grace is my FAVORITE name.. it was my grandmother’s name- a sweet & gentle soul. Best wishes 🙂
Thank you Sherijr. I was named for my Grandmother. “Gramma Grace”.
She’s been gone now since 1999.
Thank you for bringing her into my thought just now. She had a feisty, foul mouth and an infectious laugh.
I still miss her dearly.
🙂
Rejoice in her memory today. Thanks for sharing her with us.
Oh I like the sound of your grandma 🙂 mine was only foul mouthed when she watched Erica on All My Children 😉 she was a hoot.. she passed away the same year my eldest son was born : 1978 ~ and still she is missed.
Happy, happy birthday Grace! many more blessings are in order for you.
Big CONGRATS Chips. Thanks for your time, your effort, your love. It’s been a long slosh, and you do it well- i.e. viewing all the rubbish so so many of us don’t have to, due to weak constitutions…LOL. Putting you in my prayers tonight, and with this, have a good night to all. 😀
who’s running against Bachmann? I’d like to see her gonegonegone.. possibly we can help whatever dem is opposing her.
Yes, let’s bounce her butt right outta Congress!!! Money bomb!!!
Damn. http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?id=MN06&cycle=2012
Okay, okay… don’t let the numbers discourage you. All elections are local. The people of her district know she’s an unstable nutball. She’s embarassed them too many times. They want her out too — don’t they?
Jim Graves for Congress — it CAN be done!!
http://jimgraves.com/
Guess what — they are neck and neck in the polls!! Ha ha!!
http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2012/09/bachmann_and_jim_graves_now_neck_and_neck_as_micheles_favorability_tanks.php
and who’s Ryan opponent in WI? Wouldn’t it be lovely to unseat him 2x ~ yes we can 🙂
Yes, let’s do this!!
It’s gonna take a lot of hard work and a lot of prayer, but it CAN be done.
http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?id=WI01&cycle=2012
His Democratic opponent is Rob Zerban. Website is here: http://www.robzerban.com/
…and according to this, he’s in striking distance! [Hell yeah!!]
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/12/dem-candidates-poll-claims-paul-ryan-is-beatable.php
awesome, thank you Dudette
Yes Indeed, Sherijr. Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor are on top of my list of Congressmen I want to see defeated. They were leaders of a cabal that from the day President Obama took the oath of office vowed and plotted to undermine and obstruct his presidency.
^^^^^^^^this^^^^^
Is. Cantor up as well?
Every house of rep. member is up every two years.
And this one is for the OTHER Birthday Girl — Edwina!!
Git it, Girl! How Low Can Ya Go?!! 😀
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I’m squealing right along with you! 🙂
🙂
Dudette, I’m dancing as I’m laying on my bed. Shaking it up.:-)
🙂 I’m awake now!
*******MJ*******
Congrats Chip. Just want you to know, ever since I found this blog back in 09, I have been a loyal fan of yours. 😉 Thanks for all the support and lets just go win this thing!
Congratulations again Chipsticks. Since you invited us to post links to the candidates we’d like to promote, here is a link to Jim Graves who is running against Michelle Bachmann in Minnesota’s 6th district.
http://jimgraves.com/
The race is very close.
thank you Walking.. I’ll donate to him, appreciate that.
Thank you sherijr! 🙂
oh my pleasure all the way 🙂
Speaking of shakin things… Chips-Darling, this is for you, Baybeeeeee! Wiggle that thang!!
13 Million Thanks for the 13 Million Things you do to keep this a safe place for our growing family of Obots!
WE LOVE YOU!!!
Seconded. Thank goodness for the OBOTS.
((((((((( Happy Birthday Edwina))))))))))) AND ((((((((Happy Belated Birthday Grace)))))))) Enjoy. HZ
Congratulations, Chips and bless you for this blog!
Well done, Chip. Hear’s to 13 million more!!!
((((((((((((((((((( I love this beautiful haven and our beautiful Chips))))))))))))))))))) There are many days, this is where I come to be lifted up to a place of quietness, informed, and giving out love to our wonderful POB.
I do not have much, but I want to be in the history of the grace of sharing and giving back with much love. Done Chips, and Congrats are always appropriate for my angel of goodness, my beautiful and brilliant, Chips.HZ
info@clairemccaskill.com. Running against eff-wit Akin, this is one candidate for sure we have to back, to get rid of that ugly backward mofo……
If she raises enough money she can beat him. I sent her a few bucks.
Good, thank you, I have sent her some $$ a couple of times, and Elizabeth, and Lois Frankel down in FL, and several other women around the country, we just need to get many more women lawmakers seated, right amk? This male dominance is way out of balance.

SCARBOROUGH ON MITT ROMNEY: “HE’S NEITHER A TRUE CONSERVATIVE
———————————-NOR A COURAGEOUS MODERATE. HE’S JUST AN AMBITIOUS MAN.
Joe Scarborough eviscerates Mitt Romney
by Bonsai66
———————————-
Ahhh. The long knives have now been unsheathed.
And the lesson is clear: If we want to win the battle of ideas in the long term, we should be willing to face the fact that Mitt Romney is likely to lose — and should, given that he’s neither a true conservative nor a courageous moderate. He’s just an ambitious man.
To sum up…
Instead, we have a nominee who represents the worst of both worlds. Any swing voter attracted by moderate Republicanism can’t vote for a man who ran away from his core convictions. And conservative voters don’t believe Romney has any core convictions. This has all the makings of a Greek tragedy, all playing out on C-SPAN.
Well, I guess that there is something that conservatives and liberals can finally agree on: We don’t think that Mitt Romney has any core convictions either.
———————————————
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/12/1131087/-Joe-Scarborough-eviscerates-Mitt-Romney
The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell reported on this tonight.
Mahalos Ladyhawke.. Mitt’s not just “an ambitious man”.. he’s a sociopathic, narcississstic asshole. His own worst enemy.
But if you read Joe S’s opinion piece in Politico he has no kind words for our President. He ends with this in his piece:
…” the tragedy for Republicans is that the opportunity is still great.
Barack Obama’s acceptance speech in Charlotte exposed him as an intellectually exhausted politician. The man who brought Hope and Change to the Democratic National Convention four years ago exposed himself in Charlotte as a guy who has no new ideas and no clue where he wants to take the country over the next four years. Obama is now reduced to mindlessly repeating the same tired lines he trotted out on the campaign trail in 2008. He had somehow morphed from the political equivalent of a young Elvis rocking Mile High Stadium four years ago to becoming the fat, sweaty singer who haunted Vegas showrooms in the months before he before his most inglorious expiration in the summer of 1977.
But that aging rock star will win this campaign going away if Romney keeps playing it safe. That is a terrible waste for Republicans, an ominous sign for a country in desperate need of new leadership, and more than enough reason for me to stop bothering to tweet on Saturday nights.”

This is for the entire TOD Family… You ARE the Change! Let’s get this thing done in November!
Dudette, you are amazing! I truly love your spirit, energy and the love that you spread around. I am getting there in age but I sure would love to party with you.
Awww thanks Nath. Go on now, yer makin’ me blush! 🙂
You are very welcome Dudette! You bring so much joy to this wonderful place.
You’re too kind. {{{nathkatun}}}
Donate Tammy Duckworth!
http://www.tammyduckworth.com/
Yes, yes, yes! Joe Walsh — Outta there!! We can make that happen!
Absolutely! That evil man, Joe Walsh, must be crushed.
How is that race going?
She’s rolling like thunder!! Up by 9 pts in Aug.

Haven’t found any polls since her DNC speech yet. She’s gotta have earned a bump from that, cuz she was TERRIFIC!!
[I kinda like the irony that this is on Politico] http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/80673.html
Thanks. That’s great news.
13 is unlucky. Quick, let’s get to 14 mil asap. 🙂
Congrats Chips. Amazing achievement.
Dude, 13 is lucky in gambling circles. My money’s on PBO and he ain’t NEVAH failed me!!
Also there’s this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_(number)
But yes, let’s get to 14 mil quickly so we can drum up some more support for PBO 🙂
Sorry, amk. 13 is a lucky number for me. Both my precious daughter and my precious niece were born on the 13th. I am elated that Chips reached 13 million today, which also happens to be my niece’s birthday.
It was just a play on chip’s words. 🙂
Yep, saw that. Slow on the uptake today. 🙂
In the last thread, there was a split twitter pic with PBO and SOS/HRC walking, the other once was dartboard material, the most pathetic excuse for a human ever (need I name him? If he is a him), anyway, I could not separate the two photos, and was sad about that. Any idea where I might find the pic just of PBO and HRC?
It is an AP photo and on politico – but if you google – Hillary Obama Libya – there are many taken over 24 hours of the President and Sec Clinton together
Thank you, 99ts. I’ll go look. My daughter is there in Sydney: http://www.rabbitearth.com
Thanks Chipsticks for this great video. Thanks for all you do. You keep me inspired.
Cogratulations Chips on the big 13m. My sincere and big thank you for this wonderful place that brings us of like mind together to
celebrate our wonderful PBO. You do so much to keep us sane and joyous amidst all the crazy. You are simply the best.
Congrats hips and once again “Thank you!” When I almost took out my TV yesterday when Romney started talking I of course immediately took refuge here from his slime. I am a “13” fan, my daughter was born on March 13!
Congratulations Chipsticks for reaching the magic 13million. You are doing a wonderful Job on behalf of our President. 13 is a lucky number for me. Today (9/13) is my precious niece’s birthday. My precious daughter was born on Jan. 13. So I chipped in $13 on your fund raising page. Again thank you for creating this space that has attracted many incredible people.
Yes! Congratulations on 13 Million, Chips&TOD! Yep, some us were born on the 13th and I was born on the 13th of August..Just like Chips. So proud..Alfred Hitchcock was too..and Don Ho!
WAVE!!
Another cockroach to stomp out of Congress — Eric Cantor
His opponent is Col. Wayne Powell. Wayne’s website is: http://www.powellforva.com/
Wayne is unbought and unbossed (to quote my shero Shirley Chisholm), but he’s also sadly underfunded: http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?id=VA07&cycle=2012
and the race is tightening there too!!!!!

oh you rock Dudette, thanks for the links!
Thanks Dudette! Cantor and Ryan are tops for me because they are traitors in my book. They plotted to destroy the country in order to defeat President Obama. I will definitely make a contribution to Col. Wayne Powell.
Let’s shove ’em both right out the door! “Don’t let the door knob hit ya where the good Lord split ya” — Vamoose!!
We can do it! The DCCC is not helping their Dem. challengers that much. I know all of us are stretched supporting our President. But these evil bastards need to go.
Sho nuff!
Heads Up!
I was surfing around and came across an ad for a Happy 20th Anniversary Card for POTUS and FLOTUS!

It’s coming up in a couple of weeks — Oct 3rd (Wedding Date: Oct 3, 1992)
For my favorite couple…
Love both of those zekee!
Sorry, looks like I clicked on the wrong reply link and got the anniversary thingy/video thingy in the middle of your thread. A thousand pardons.
Congrats Chips!!!
Thanks again for this refuge. The photo of Ricky was heartbreaking. Our President is a kind and compassionate man.
George Badey is challenger for PA-07 — the most gerrymandered dist in PA (maybe even in the US); cover 5 counties and looks like an ink blot. The rethug state legislators really had to work hard to carve out this district. Meehan (freshman — won Joe Sestak’s open seat) is a weak ass undercover teabagger, has big money advantage, however, as PBO should win my district, I’m praying that George can hang on to his coattails. George is a good candidate and fully supports President Obama.

Romney adviser: Mideast violence wouldn’t have happened with him in office
By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 9/14/12 12:12 AM
They say bluntly the current Mideast uprisings wouldn’t be happening in a Romney administration.
Really?
Getting redenculous by the hour. Good for us.
I know Romney is Mormon Bishop, but is he now claiming to have Divine Powers that would have enabled him to prevent Middle East uprisings? Romney is completely delusional! He is making Michelle Bachmann appear to be fountain of rationality.

Obama Sets Big-Ticket L.A. Fundraiser for Oct. 7
“This will be a large scale event” at the Nokia Theater, says an email to supporters. A $40,000-per-couple dinner, hosted by Jeffrey Katzenberg, will be held nearby.
President Barack Obama will return to Los Angeles for a concert fundraiser at the Nokia Theater on October 7, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The campaign stop will also include a high-dollar dinner — at $40,000 per couple — in downtown Los Angeles, according to a campaign email obtained by THR.
“The exact details for the concert are still being confirmed, but this will be a large scale event with multiple performers and speakers preceding the President’s remarks,” according to an email sent to Los Angeles donors Thursday. “As we begin to confirm the talent and details, we will make the information known to all of you.”
The concert and dinner have been in the works for weeks, sources say, with Jeffrey Katzenberg spearheading the dinner. Harvey Weinstein is said to be working on a similar fundraiser in New York City.
Tickets to the concert are expected to be available through Ticketmaster starting early next week.
According to the campaign email, the price points for the concert are as follows:
$44 per person – Gen44 (Young Professionals, limited availability)
$250 per person – General Admission
$1,000 per person – General Admission, better seating
$5,000 per person – VIP access (to lounge area and preferred seating)
$10,000 per person – Photo and VIP access.

I don’t know how this will make the Bushes feel. It’s as if Romney’s GOP is ashamed of both Papa Bush and Baby Bush.
For perfectly selfish reasons, like since I have lived in AZ, I have NEVER been represented by a single person sent to Washington….nor have millions of Arizonans, if any of you are able to help out…. http://mattjette.com/ Since Ben Quayle (Arrogant Asshole- AZ) LOST…this is the guy that needs to beat Asshole #2 David Schweikert. He’s a great guy with a wonderful story to tell….his signs grace my front yard on some prime viewing area for the public:) It’s the very least I can do…he personally delivered them to my house.
Another is Richard Carmona: http://www.carmonaforarizona.com/ Another amazing story to tell, and someone that would work with the President. If you have some extra money to donate…he is within 1 point of Jeff Flake…who has been in Congress for 12 years….Carmona could be a redeemer for all the years of stupid ass Jon Kyl! Thanks:)
DF! I really respect Dr. Carmona. I will dig deep and send him a contribution. I think he can win. It would be wonderful to replace the evil idiot Kyl with a sane person.
🙂 Hello, nathkatun! Carmona has a genuine shot to bring some sanity to AZ….he IS the American dream realized:) Thank you for sending him a contribution…we need all the help we can get! Kyl can bite me. What a nasty POS he is.Wish he’d leave right now.

Good News for John McCain!!
Dudette, I don’t understand the McCain reference.
During the 2008 election period, the MSM seemed to view every development as Good News for John McCain. It got to be a joke so whatever happens now, whether the market goes up or unemployment goes down, it’s Good News for John McCain.
I think it started out of the Russian-Georgian conflict when the media pounced on the idea that McCain would benefit due to his foreign policy experience. In the end, the issue had hardly any impact on the race nationally.
Got it, thanks
It is a hackperin reference that started in TPM blog during 2008 elections. hackperin would spin every mccain-tundra twit fuck up as a ‘good news for mccain’.

They are getting desperate…..
The money quote
I’ve since been informed by a Democratic source that the president didn’t even have any fundraisers in Nevada yesterday. The attack is wrong on every possible level.
These people are pure evil! The same people who were in charge when the terrorist attacked this country are now pretending to know how to protect the country better. They of course count on their reliable corporate media enablers.
Congratulations Miss chips, our 13 Million Bionic Woman.
Congratulations too Collegekay on receiving your long awaited call from President Obama.
http://www.delbeneforcongress.com/ for the WA-01. She’s a smart moderate in a moderate district (one of the top five most contested races in the country). She has progressive, middle-class values and is just a super woman to boot. I’m a big big fan. Please support her (thanks, LL)
My eyes are getting heav…. zzzzzz!
Uh, okay. I gotta go y’all. The sandman is calling!
Always a beautiful day when I can hang with my TOD Fam. Love you guys! See you soon!
each day I am reminded how lucky the world is to have critical decisions of war and global peace being made by calm, kind, smart, steady, President Obama and his very capable team of advisers
Oh goodness… twitter is sooooo addictive! Not sure how I’m going to handle twitter, blog, this, FB and work. I feel like I’ve had too much caffeine!
But hey, congrats, Chips! What an achievement! Here’s wishing you 13 million more!!!
Goodnite all..
Hi Chips, When you see this hope you have had a restful and very happy night after all you have accomplished.
On Friday, 14 Sept, I will begin a concerted, focused, unrelenting Twitter effort to tie #BainMitt to various House & Senate candidates by mocking each of those candidates that their leader is so toxic to their campaigns that don’t even want his name mentioned. The tweets will evolve to include #GWB as being similarly toxic. Just wanted to give all of you a heads up as to what you can expect, so here’s a little taste …
Beginning in earnest in the next 24 h 🙂
#PRESSON
Good for you, Bob, You are, as always, the general leading the charge in the war against the poisonous lies of the GOP.
How bad is Mitt Romney as a candidate? This bad:
“One of the Republican appointees to the Electoral College abruptly resigned from her post Thursday after publicly questioning whether she would support the party’s presidential ticket when casting official votes after the November election.
Melinda Wadsley of Ames, Iowa, told The Associated Press that she could not in good conscience vote for party nominee Mitt Romney. Wadsley was among three electors who had told the AP for a story published Thursday that they were exploring alternatives should Romney win their states.”

Not since 1896 have their been multiple defections of electors against their party’s candidate.
When you’re losing the Electoral College, it doesn’t get much worse than that.

Chesterfield Elementary School rejects Michelle Obama request to speak there-
http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2012/sep/14/tdmet04-chesterfield-rejects-michelle-obamas-bid-t-ar-2204381/
Last week, UVA rejected the President from speaking there. Then, you have various Republucan Cities, one in NH and the other San Diego, charging the President for Police Security.
This is coordinated, no question!
This is utterly disgusting and reprehensible.
I am late as usual, but 13 million hugs and thankful congratulations to you Chips.
I wonder if Mrs Oleary’s Cow died in the Fire?
The first time she voted in her life was for Obama. “I loved being part of that decision-making process, but I never voted in prior years when I was legally eligible. I don’t know why.” She is, she says, a “liberal Republican”, put off [by] Mitt Romney because of his stance against gay marriage. This election, she says, “I don’t know which way I’m going to go.”

I was told She was a big supporter, guess not!
This is Kim Kardashian!
Who cares? She compared her show to ‘I Love Lucy’ and ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ she can go suck it.
Really jovie ? The only things peeps interested about her are her t&a.
We would like Kardashian vote, but if not, one monkey won’t stop this show..
I’m going with RAT
He was talking shit about PBO this morning. They will never give PBO credit for being a great President, but their bitterness is understandable.
What a picture of that Carnival Barker. I have heard if you can’t say anything nice, the don’t say anything at all. Love that hair.
Hi Chips. . . just one of the many voices singing your praise!
Congrats on reaching (passing) 13M hits . . .
May you have 13M more!
Good merry morning all and congratulations on 13 million Chips!
Thanks for all the links to dems running in Congress. Am going to find a few bucks to send along to several of them.
Iowa GOP elector says conscience won’t allow her to vote for Romney, resigns her appointment

Here is a comment from the article:
I wish you’d reconsider. I’m not sure I like Gary Johnson either but that’s not the point. Some states won’t give Ron Paul credit for a write in, so in some cases it will not count. And what we really need right now is to show the Republicans that they cannot win without us. So if we split our numbers between Ron, Gary and Obama (some RP supporters are so mad they want to vote for him) our true numbers/power will not show through. If we can have a good showing maybe next time Republicans will be a little more prepared to meet us in the middle. Show them we will not give them our vote while sitting down and shutting up any more.
While we do this continue to grow our base by preaching liberty to the new generation who really hate all the government intrusion, debt and wars.
We don’t have and won’t have for awhile, the numbers to get anything done by ourselves. But we can show republican that if they are not willing to work with us they won’t get anything done either.
Support the libertarian Movement
Honor Ron Paul
Vote Johnson

Mr. Obama leads his Republican rival across all ages of voters, except those who are 65 or older, who favor Mr. Romney by 15 percentage points.
What way to rush your own deaths.
So tweeting This^^
Yet, didn’t we just see a poll that has President Obama way ahead on the Medicare issue ?
Did they only poll old WHITE people ?
White people care about Medicare also—–severely, as they say. I would think a couple more Medicare ads would take care of the over 65’s—–budge enough away from their Repub voting habits.
I think it is pasr time to have “the talk” with our relatives and friends who are 65 years or older about their choice of candidate.
Gregory and Todd are on Romney Rescue Mission on the Today Show again. They’re saying that Romney was just trying to “separate” himself from the Obama campaign with his political comments after news of the deaths in Libya, that Romney said if he was president there would be no unrest in the Middle East (wow), and that Romney is planning a “major foreign policy speech” to make clear the differences he has with the Obama admin. The only positive for PBO was the dutiful reporting of the poll numbers in Fl, Oh and Va, which pretty much made the rest their spin sound really weak and desperate.
CONGRATULATIONS on 13 million, Chips. Thank you for all you do for us. You are loved!
