First?
Get the heck out if Dodge!!!
congrats:)
Thanks š
Ha ha! First looks good on you! š
Congrats bjw2 š
Thanks holmoly!!
I loved your reaction! š Congrats Bjw!
Fantastic leap into First Place, bjw2! And with so much oomph!
These Romney supporters remind me of the racist haters who would file in for a Sarah Palin appearance.
That was disgusting.
You know, I’m not sure how I would react if I came face to face with a cut out of Mitt, so I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t like him. At times I feel sorry for him because he seems so pathetically inept, but I’m really not sure how I would react if a cut out of him was right there. I’d like to think I’d pass it by with no comment and a look of disdain but I really am not sure. I think they are hateful and dumb for not seeing PBO’s goodness, but they probably think I’m envious and dumb for not embracing Mitt. Just saying.
Notice how WHITE they all are?!
Wow. That is beyond the pale. Some people are ugly on the inside.
Now that 3rd pic is my desktop background! Yeah.
Ooooo. PBO was at the bottom of the damn where the river runs when the weather isn’t so dry. Those cars look like ants when viewed from the top of the dam.
Remember the Apple/iPad photo of him standing and gazing at the Golden Gate Bridge? And the two with his family on vacation at the Grand Canyon and Old Faithful? He loves this country. All the man made ones should be made into ads, with the banner “We built this”.
I looooooooooove this video. OFA makes the BEST videos.
Ouch…..That’s gonna leave a mark.
I see the racists are staging their last desperate attempt to stir up racial animosity. I could sense it happening—-too many solid poll numbers for Obama. Twitter aflutter about some drudge video of 2007 Obama appearance before a black audience. I’m not checking the details, but I know what the purpose is.
As Greg Sargent said, if this video is so damning, why wasn’t it used in 2008?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Drudge is mad because he can’t get laid so of course it has to be Pres. Obama’s fault.
There is a special place in hell for Matt Drudge; he is headed there with gasoline drawers on. What God has ordained He maintains, President Obama is headed for reelection and not one right wing psycho is going to stop God’s perfect Will.
Spot on!
Excellent, Lorraine!
Oh, Lorraine, I love the “gasoline drawers.” Can’t get that image out of my head.
Sam Stein on twitter also said that Politico wrote about it in ’08
Found it! Shhhh….
If they have found this tape why haven’t they released it? Why keep talking about it? When will it be released?
Did you click the link in my tweet and watch the video?
Zut! It’s not available from my location. Ah well, thanks for trying, Dudette.
Bummer. Can’t find it on Youtube. Only NBC video archives (it’s Eddie Murphy’s classic White Like Me SNL skit)
http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/white-like-me/278716
I remember that from 2008. Is that all they’ve got?
YOU THINK IT’S BAD NOW…WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE DEBATE…THEY ARE GOING TO REACH FOR ANYTHING TO GET PBO…AS THIS ALL PROGRESSES…PLEASE ALL PRAY FOR HIS PROTECTION…SS HAD BETTER BE UP TO SNUFF…BECAUSE THERE ARE NUTS EVERYWHERE! THE AIR IS HEAVY….GIVE YOUR PRAYERS TO GOD! YOU ARE LOVED MR. PRESIDENT! AAAAAH…THE ENERGIZER BUNNY WITH THE FLY SWATTER!
Old girlfriends will be coming out of the woodworks. Grainy pictures and videos of who-knows-who claiming to be pics of him doing who-knows-what. And a bunch of “I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend who said, bloppity-bloppity, blop, blah, blah, blah…”
Yes, it’s maddening and disgusting, but let’s try to stay focused. We knew this shit was coming. This movie ain’t nothing but a rerun. It’ll be alright. THEY ARE DESPERATE! So they’re throwing everything at the wall – maybe even a few kitchen sinks.
Team Obama has got this! We’re moving #FORWARD!
You’re so right about the desperate part, dudette. Plus they think Americans are gullible idiots.
This is the terrain I grew up in. I have lived in Arizona all my life and have driven through Hoover Dam many times.
It’s gorgeous, Jackie. I went to Hoover Dam once, and the heat was absolutely breathtaking – my car registered 112 degrees! I could have sworn that people were lined up on the side of the road cooking dinner on the pavement… But, the dam really is a sight to behold. Stunning!
this afternoon from sam wang:
‘ In national polls, the median for polls from 9/26 to 10/1 is Obama +4.0+/-0.6% (n=11). Yet the Meta-Margin, which measures what it would take to flip the swing states, is at Obama +6.0%, including a substantial uptick today.
Although the Meta-Margin, which is based on state polls, can sometimes take a little while to catch up with national polls, it is extremely precise ā within a few tenths of a percentage point. Its sharp rise indicates that something is afoot. Obama appears to be significantly overperforming in critical battlegrounds compared with the rest of the country. Is this because of the much-vaunted microtargeting by the Obama campaign? Whatever the cause, this hill is a very, very tall one for Romney to climb in October. ‘

Tweeted!
isn’t that a pretty graph? thanks for tweeting!
A joy to behold!
I’m not sure what ” the meta margin can sometimes take a little while to catch up with national polls” means. Are they supposed to match the national polls? If so, how are they extremely precise? Anybody get it?
short answer: not entirely. seems it uses state by state polling data to predict the electoral college, instead of national popular vote data. since the states are not being polled as often, there is a lag. here’s a bit of the explanation on the princeton site:
‘ Calculations are based on recent available state polls, which are used to estimate the probability of a Democratic/Republican win, state by state. These are then used to calculate the probability distribution of electoral votes corresponding to all 2.3 quadrillion possible combinations.
~
Meta-Analysis uses an overlooked method to calculate the probability of getting an exact number of electoral votes, covering all ways of reaching that number given the individual state win probabilities.
~
State polls are done less often than national polls. Does that introduce a delay into your analysis?
Yes. As of early August this delay is about two weeks in key states. The delay will diminish dramatically as the campaign season progresses. A correction based on national polls is possible, but adds considerable uncertainty to the estimate. ‘

HAHAHAHA!
Hey tomorrow’s FLOTUS and POTUS’ anniversary. We should do something special!
Great Idea Dudette!
So BenSmith at Buzzfeed twitted “audible sighs at Chicago tonight”. I tweeted back “awww man” heard throughout MSM tonight”
What is that about? good or bad?
Oh, you’ve missed the “BREAKING: DEVELOPING!” news out of Drudge: He had tape which proved that Obama has it in for whitey. Of course, said video has been on YouTube since 2007. And reported on in 2008. Yeah.
Do the media even understand that President Obama had a white mother, was raised by his white grandparents and grew up in Hawaii? How stupid do they have to be to think that he even registers stuff like that? He has every rainbow under the sun in his family. When that’s all you’ve known, you don’t really differentiate it – they are just people. Everyone’s the same under the skin…
Racists are completely illogical.
But they are dangerous.
Theo, my theory is that these racists view everything through a racial prism, so they assume everybody else does too. They hate PBO because he is black, so they figure he hates them because they are white. Also don’t forget the legacy of slavery in this country and the “one drop rule” which declared someone black or nonwhite if he/she has one drop of black blood (this enabled slaveholders to impregnate his slaves without creating heirs). To these racists, the fact that PBO’s mother is white does not effect his “blackness” one bit. Racism was never logical. It is about power and justifying the subjugation of a people.
Theo, they are counting on low information voters!
Thanks for the Hoover Dam photos Chips. I went on a tour to the Hoover Dam and The Grand Canyon last month. I really enjoyed it.
Good morning from my world – I’m reading some great things today
Voter suppression by the GOP seems to have had a bad day
Mississippi – not this year – http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20121002/NEWS/310020046?nclick_check=1
Pennsylvania – not this year – http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/judge-halts-pa-s-tough-new-voter-id-requirement-1.1381901
With every group except white men voting overwhelmingly for President Obama, it seems Romney’s total support comes from white suits who think it’s a great idea for the rich to get richer – and who cares about anyone else – most of them are probably married – they may yet get the message. In passing Gallup has the figures at 50-44 today.
Michelle Obama is massively popular at rallies (Miss Ann is probably weeping, while trying to keep Mitt sane) and Joe Biden seems to get bigger crowds every day as the election gets closer. President Obama shows with every part of his life that he knows what he is doing.
Thank you for all the good news Chips – my main call for all things US – today I have a busy day with daughter & granddaughter so will have to wait until this evening to catch up on everything else
Bada ba ba baaaa…. I’m Lovin’ It! š
Is this some Todd handiwork? NBC is on a mission. Todd has no credibility. He keeps saying there is a huge enthusiasm gap. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
NBC and MSNBC have benefited from some of Romney’s abuses at Bain Capital. That tells me all I need to know.
There’s Fineman saying young people are not going to show up this time—-obviously has not tuned into Obama’s college appearances. Fineman continues to report an enthusiasm gap because of dismal state of things, always touting the most negative spin possible. Fineman looks happy about reporting bad news for Obama.
The same coward Fineman who says he always asks the repugs what to say? And I am supposed to take this inept little slave seriously!
Dour Chuck Todd wouldn’t know enthusiasm if it hit him in the face. Poor ole chuckie. Imagine having to be a slave to your corporate masters at this stage and age.
This is the RV/LV voter change (that lack of enthusiasm again). Nate Silver bases his stats on the LV if available – so things will look better for Romney.
Lots of good twitter comments @JeffersonObama
I think Nate Silver bases his stats on the LV because it gives a more accurate result.
It’s dangerous trying to hold in guffaws and snorts… š š š š š š
I wish I could find the part of “Blazing Saddles” where the new sheriff takes the podium and someone in the audience shouts, “But he’s a n*****!” I would pretty much Tweet that every time something like this comes up.
Where da white wimmin at?
‘Scuse me as I whip this out
I’m tired……
I love Mel Brooks. He stopped making movies when he was still funny. “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein” are touchstones of my upbringing.
zomfg Young Frankenstein.
“You haven’t touched your food.”
(smashes food with hands)
“There. I’ve touched it. Are you happy now?”

“Oh do you like it?”
“What?”
“You made a yummy sound.”
“I didn’t make a yummy sound.”
“mmmmmmmmmm!”
And I miss Madeline Kahn more than words can say.
I’m not a wabbit!
I love that line!!!!

Hilarious, the Drudge/Fox BOMBSHELL video has been on YouTube since …… 2007
Well, in fairness to Drudge, “YouTube is haaaaaaaaaard!!!”
š š It is LL, sooooooo hard!!!
Chips, I kept waiting to hear the big “W” word. ok, tell me what you did with it. š
He says it at 0:39 for sure… I’m still listening hard for other instances. š
Here’s the transcript of the speech which contains a little more than is on the video segment here. I’m still reading it, but haven’t found anything incriminating yet.
http://iraira18.visibli.com/share/gSt328
Love this comment below the transcript:
It’s an Outrageā¢
š š š
COS, it’s a beautiful speech. I wish I’d seen it before. What on earth is the problem with it? How can anyone who’s not blinded by hatred of PBO see anything wrong with it?
Matt Drudge needs to get laid if he seriously thinks this is a bombshell video. Where is the hate and kill whitey part of the video Chips? What have you done with it? Why is it just a video of Sen. Obama giving a speech? Why isn’t he yelling like a teenage mutant ninja turtle? WHY?!?!?!?!
Stop it.
I’m on a roll, baby! Congestion does amazing things to my mental faculties.
You are!!! š I’m just waiting for the “worried about mental stability” zinger. š
Ask and ye shall receive:
Squeeeeeeeee! š š š
Now that’s a real Zinger, LL!
Um, Chips…… You just wasted 10 minutes of my very valuable time! Where’s the “kill whitey!” hysteria? Where’s the scandal and the seething black rage? All I see is a sexy young man saying the same thing 5 years ago that he’s saying today! Chips, very disappointed. You’re obviously no Matt Druge. Apparently, propaganda isn’t for everyone. {{SMH}} š
Yeah but Lisa, if you look very, very, very, very closely at that video you’ll spot that the President is ….. gasp …… black. I think so anyway, the quality of the video isn’t great. But this should be worth, oooooh, 10 pts for Willard in the polls?
Even I didn’t know he was black until you showed us this secret video Chips! This is an amazing find…this is at the level of finding human life on planet Mars. Folks, this is HUGE….
Game Changer Hopefruit. I’ll be back in five minutes, just re-registering the site as The Willard Diary.
Indeed. Carry on, pioneer Chips! Carry on!
Maybe he’s not black…maybe he just got into Willard’s industrial-size vat of self-tanner.
Hmmmmm……. It could be the video or……. and this is a biggie…….. he might have pulled a Willard. You know politicians, pandering to whichever audience they’re in front of. My guess is, it’s white Obama in brown face…… How do you like them apples? Now that’s a conspiracy worthy of Drudge. Can you imagine Obama being white all this time but he’s been wearing black make up?! If only Drudge could get more evidence, then Chunky Toad and his other Repuke pals wouldn’t have to worry about PBO getting reelected because of “white guilt.”
Well, Well, Chips! You mean to tell me that President Obama is black and I didn’t know about this for almost four years now? This is truly a scandal of major proportion! The liberal media are to blame because they’ve been fooling me (and many other patriotic Americans, I am sure) by constantly showing the President as a white man. Now, to be honest, I already knew that he was a Kenyan, muslim, socialist, communist, Nazi! But I never knew he was indeed a black man. All along, I thought that he was a white Kenyan like that deranged anthropologist who has been poisoning the minds of our children with all this evolution stuff; especially his blasphemy — contradicting God’s intelligent Design — saying that there is one human family whose ancestors all began in Africa. Just imagine! This evolution foolishness is being taught to our children with tender minds when all intelligent people know fully well that God created superior and inferior races. It’s right there in the Holy Book about the son’s of Noah and how the descendants of one of his son were condemned to be inferior servants hence the black skin which is the mark of their curse.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
ok ok ok ok
uhm Lisa! As IF!
Your hormones have apparently broken your RageMeterā¢Ā®….. š
But seriously….. hot man is what? HOT. Correct. :D:D š
š³ hehehehehehehrhehehehehe! But Talz! Gorgeous is gorgeous, come rain, sleet or snow! š
Preach girl. You know you and I together in Vegas would be TROUBLE in the best way poss.
I think that was a phenomenal presentation!!
Is that something Democrats are supposed to be concerned about? I’m SO proud of my president!
Watched the whole video. Nothing controversial here.
But did you notice the color of the Speaker? He is black, speaking to other blacks; that’s what is “controversial.”
Chips I just watched the video above where PBO built his speech around a bullet in a baby’s elbow. Are you sure that is the one that Drudge says is a bombshell? Did you cut out the offensive part ‘white’ portion? š š
Okay, just read that Lisa raised the same point. My question’s been answered. TY š š These GOP types really do need to focus what little attention they have on real problems; they MIGHT then accomplish some little thing. š
Well he did mention a pregnant woman in a white dress. That’s really scary thing for a black man to say.
š Before I got the transcript I listened to that part twice in case I had missed some vital, though subtle message. š These guys ought to be embarrassed to kick up a furor over nothing so often!
The bastards…. They are bringing this up now just in time for the debates… Pumping up racial anxiety. They know that there are many people who think, on the rational level, that President Obama is a good and decent man who has done a good job, but are still hesitating to vote for President Obama because they unconsciously are more at ease with a white man as president. They know that many of those people will watch the debates, and that seeing the two candidates side by side may have an effect, in the sense that those people will be tempted to go with the tall, handsome white man ( Romney doesn’t have any charm or charisma but his physical appearance is quite good) instead of the tall, handsome ( really) black man.
I find hate in my heart for the republicans, and it’s not fun. It shouldn’t be like this.
Well, Lovepolitics, I don’t think most people have any clue who Drudge is and won’t see this video. Tens of millions will watch the debates, however, so whatever comparisons people are supposed to make won’t happen. I don’t happen to think Romney is remotely handsome because his face has no life and he smirks constantly. He’s a tall man in his sixties who is not overweight, but, as an “older” white woman, I think he’s pheromone challenged.
Good. Check Todd should shut up when it comes to race.
Chuck Todd is a weasel..a typical weakminded corporate shill.
LOL!
I just read on facebook last night that my son who works at UNR in Reno just got a ticket and is going to MIchelle’s rally there and am not sure if it is today, or tomorrow. Pretty exciting.
My other exciting news is my to be son-in-law (wedding to be the end of next summer)just got hired in Seattle for next summer associateship with a law firm. It is between his 2nd and 3rd year of law school. It will be good to have him and my daughter on the West coast as I live in Oregon. They are in Chicago now as he is attending the same law school in Chicago that Pres. Obama taught at.
Oh my Obama Grandma you’ve got some great news tonight! Congratulations to your son on getting a ticket to see FLOTUS.Congratulations on your daughter’s upcoming wedding next year!! And congratulations to your future son-in-law getting a new job that would move the family closer to you. š š
Chips, is this spoof? Tell me you photo shopped this. lolololololololol
100% real Nospin š
http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/172205631.html
Gods.
I don’t mean to be catty (well, yes, I probably do…..) but look at the people behind her. Are those the friendliest, noncrazy faces they could find for her photo-op backdrop? That one guy looks like a videogaming mouthbreather who still lives in his mother’s basement, and only left to get the case of Red Bull they promised him. Not one smile. They all look like they’re in pain.
That’s catty? She looks like a dead fish, she probably sounds like one too, hence the looks on all the faces behind her.
Looks like she’s speaking at a prison—–death row for Romney!
Oh CRAP I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING!!!! Are those her groundskeepers forced to pose? Or some humans that they paid in cigarettes, socks and slot machine tokens??? WTF!!!?! I LOVE IT!!
Chips, that is so pitiful I just couldn’t bring myself to comment … just pitiful …
Oh Jesus. What a sorry looking bunch. That’s just sad looking.
i think they all just played their last dollar at the tables, and the’re hoping to get a free lunch when this political gig is finally over. well, you’re out of luck again, folks! no free anything from the robmeys!
Maybe Ann will give them all free bootstraps.
Chuck Todd’s enthusiasm gap right. All them 40 Obama haters…fired up to go to the polls early.
Wow!!!!
I WILL CRUSH YOU.
Wow! That means that 75% of first day voters of Lucas, OH, were Democrats.
Romney want to bus in his posse again?
Would not be surprised.
meta, as we’ve discussed, I’m not at all convinced Mitt will show ….
I would like to watch the debate on MSNBC tomorrow night, but if Gregory of Todd appear I am definitely turning the channel.
I’ll probably watch it on PBS.
I would advise you to watch it on CSPAN or PBS. Better yet, watch it online via the OFA livestream. š
C-span all the way for me!!!
Love this guy to death.
Oh God! pick me up off the floor. I don’t speak Spanish but that was HOT!
I know, right? Whatever he said, YAY!!
Hey chips. How come my comments dont appear on here? Even tho i dont religiously comment, i have been one of the earlier followers of tod and visit it daily. Moslty lurking but completely feel like part of the tod family…
Hi Kreen, you must not be signing in the same way you did at the start? I’m trying hard to keep out the trolls (I’m definitely not saying you’re one!!!), so you need to sign in the same way as you did before, or else – see here: http://theobamadiary.com/house-rules/

These people are pure EVIL:
Strange Surge In California Points To More GOP Voter Fraud
Statewide, Republican voter registration in California is in decline. Thirty percent of voters are now listed as Republican as opposed to 32% in 2008. It was awfully suspicious, then, when GOP registrations in Riverside County jumped by 35,000 this year, seemingly giving them an advantage of 51,000 voters over Democrats. It turns out that thousands of Democrats have been re-registered as Republicans without their permission.
A Republican voter outreach program named āThe Golden State Voter Participation Projectā stationed workers outside of stores and welfare offices to sign people up. Democratic activists are alleging fraud and have given the county registrar of voters 133 affidavits from Democrats, many of whom are Latino or African American, who state that they were wrongly re-registered as Republicans. Many were presented with documents that were misrepresented. One thought he was signing a petition to lower the price of gasoline, another that he was supporting the legalization of marijuana. Some were promised free cigarettes in exchange for signing.
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/10/01/california-gop-voter-fraud/
I am SHOCKED, I say, SHOCKED. (Not)
Would love to hear Kay or Zandar’s take on this. It sounds promising.
Turnout for first day of early voting nearly double that of 2008
damn, that’s what I get for cutting and pasting. Please ignore that first sentence. Chips if u can delet it gr8!

Mark Halperin is a first class liar. And drudge is worth dog doo. Come to think of it neither is Halperin.
My Ron Paul supporter brother goes to Drudge straight away for all of his news. You now can feel sorry for me. š¦
Obama Grandmama, No need to feel sorry for you! If you’ve tried your best to educate your brother but his mind is closed there isn’t much you can do. All you can do is love him despite his ignorance and refusal to search for more credible info. instead of relying on Drudge and Fox News.
Well that’ll be anti-climactic!

The Obama campaign bringing out the celebs in droves aint they?! lol. Not sure how i feel about that. it just looks too……. nevermind.
Hi ObamaBoy
I don’t have an issue with it. Celebs are voters too. I don’t connect with those vids as much as I do the videos from women, the average citizen, families touting healthcare and making the case on why POTUS should be reelected etc. But bottom line, we all make an impact and celebs do have a following. So if they can reach one more person, encourage one more person to register, volunteer or vote . . . then I appreciate all hands on deck. Especially as we are so close to Nov 6.
I don’t either. Especially after hearing for the past three years how Obama has lost Hollywood. cough*MattDamon*cough
Come on ObamaBoy, what do you think John Elway is? Last time I check celebrities are Americans too, and they care about this country, and they have issues that they care about.
Barack Obama is President of all Americans. There is a great cross-section of ads “reaching” out to everyone. Celebs have their fan base who may be chuffed to hear what their celeb has to say. Not everyone is aware of what is happening so if they garner votes to re-elect PBO from their respective fans, I don’t have a problem with it. š
That video of Bernice singing her “Black Man” song reminded me of one of my favorite clips from Designing Women… had to tweet it!

Good of Peter to point that out to everyone!!
Keep on them Bob! Americans need to see proof of the epic failure of corporate media.
I meant to say “Keep the pressure on them.”
Hi, I’m late to the party & will work backwards tonight…..but it’s looking like a fun evening.
New post everyone:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/10/02/a-more-perfect-union-3/
I don’t know why but I get a kick out of these celebrity videos. Alexis Bledell!!! – my daughters and I are the biggest Gilmore Girls fans ever. I actually already liked all those other actors already, but now I REALLY like them.
For tomorrow’s debate, Romney obviously will have some catchy phrases primed and ready to drop when he has an opportunity. President Obama should just say in that cool way of his – “So Governor, was that one of your ‘zingers’??”
