The Obama Diary 
WOW….
Congrats Mariele
Being President doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are. #Forward!!
Amen to that….
Oh Yeah. I loved it. We all need to call and canvassing. That is what I am doing and will continue till election day. We will win guys..
Yes.We.Will.
Saw a good bumper sticker yesterday: Obama then. Obama again.
6th!
Hello Everyone,
Hope we are all keeping our chins up, our hopes high, and our confidence solid in winning this election.
That cartoon made my day! Yes, this is exactly what is happening: Pinocchio is using his long nose to cross the finish line. Brilliant!
Have a great day.
One unintended consequence of Mitt’s mendacity, last night the number of people at our phone bank doubled! And it looks as if we’ll have great turnout for our GOTV training.
We can make tons of lemonade!
Gallons and gallons of it, the spirit at our headquarters isn’t doom and gloom, our spirits are high, we’re focused and our eyes are on the prize.
That is so fantastic! Thank you for everything that you do. I am the world’s worst phone bank person, but I contribute as much as I can. And let me tell ya, keeping seniors in line is a full time commitment. I deal with them all the time.
And yesterday I spotted a big old crowd of people lined up for lemonade at the local DMV office – probably registering to vote on the last day in my state! My son told me he’d never seen such a crowd there on a Tuesday morning, so it’s gotta be voters! Joy!
Good News! Folks here were still registering yesterday, people ARE paying attention.
heh.
I am going to my first phone banking tomorrow in Long Beach, CA. I am excited and scared at the same time. There are so many people involved on TOD, and after all the negativity in the press and on MSNBC, I decided to not get bent out of shape, but get more involved. It’s far enough away, that I won’t meet any of my students (I need to remain an unbiased teacher of American History to 8th graders). It’s time for me to do more than tweet and give money.
Thank you, Joy Reid. Finally some recognition on Alex Wagner’s show about Romney’s pathological lying——and getting away with saying, “I didn’t mean what I was saying”, ‘the words I said were not what I meant’ etc.– and saying something on Wed. which is the exact opposite of what he said on Tuesday. Reid said the media has allowed this, that it is their responsibility to challenge this outrageous behavior, that Romney continues to lie because there are no consequences.
And the Guy afterwards said, the media is covering it but voters don’t care.
Now Joy is a intelligent sister
LOL. Great toon.
This article from Kevin Drum highlights the dilemma of whether or not to call Romney/Ryan liars directly…
“The second way is to just call Romney a liar to his face. But the conventional wisdom says you can’t do that. It’s too negative and voters don’t like it.
…
Why? Because one of the weird aspects of American politics is that voters, no matter how cynical they claim to be, basically accept politicians at their word when they make concrete promises.”
Worth a read. http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/10/quote-day-should-obama-call-romney-liar
Didn’t Romney continually say PBO wasn’t telling the truth? Why do these things work for the Evil Cabal and not for us? I don’t understand it.
The Repubs have been ahead of this all the way and it drives me crazy. They’ve already pre-butted PBO calling DimMitt out on his lies. I heard it this morning: “When you have nothing to offer you call the other guy a liar.” It’s maddening that so many on the left couldn’t turn their visceral freakout into visceral pushback. PBO cannot do this alone and he shouldn’t have to.
kevin drum reinforcing the cw only applies to dems. we have great ‘surrogates’ don’t we?
With all the bs name calling of this president on open air, the righteous left is now lecturing why we should not and cannot return the favor.
Dem’s should have been better prepared for a setback and come out swinging. Another thing I’m sick of: Dem’s taking precious air time to say that Paul Ryan is a “nice guy” and I “really like him” like Adam Schiff did on Stephanie Miller this morning. Chuck Schumer is a great one for wasting air time saying how well he gets along with the [current] Republicans and what nice guys they are. Those comments were just dandy 15 years ago, but now stay on message. Don’t dilute it. You don’t have to be a pit bull but the collegiate days of governing were killed off by Newt Gingrich. When we’re outnumbered on the airwaves, don’t waste your time. Obviously, the undecideds are not sways by such gentlemanly behavior.
That irritates me too, even when PBO does it. I always wonder if there’s a law that you have to lavish high praise on your oppenint before you can criticize. All some people hear is the initial praise—–Romney’s a wonderful husband and family man etc.—–that’s what sticks, and the rest of the paragraph becomes less significant. I think Obama has dropped his Romney compliments lately tho, thankfully.
I’m not saying our guys need to be mean, but they need to stay focused and this kind of conciliatory talk weakens our position. It’s subtle, but it dilutes the messages and wastes time. It’s like a reflex, but it is not appropriate for this political climate. The subliminal message is that Republicans *know* that we are their enemy and view everything through that lens – it’s amazing how effective that can be. Every time someone says what a nice guy Paul Ryan is – we weaken our message. Maddening.
Joe Biden has the same habit too. I think he should drop the compliments too. Romney and Ryan are NOT nice guys. They are dishonest guys. And they are dangerous.
Statistically lots of voters want their political choice to get along and work with their opponents. If they just bash one another it turns off a large percentage of the voting block.
Second guessing and 20/20 after the fact is what many of Us do.
Remember with the Bain ads?
You guys should read the article. Kevin does not say PBO shouldn’t do it. In fact, he wants PBO to, but doesn’t think he will because of the reasons detailed.
aka reinforcing the beltway cw.
How nervous was Michelle Obama during her husbandâs first debate with Mitt Romney? Thatâs easy. Just imagine the now infamous reaction of the parents of Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman as they squirmed with each twist their daughter took on the uneven bars during the London Games. âItâs like when I watch the Olympics, you all saw the Olympics with the gymnastâs parents who were watching ⌠thatâs how I feel,â the first lady said during a wide-ranging and intimate roundtable with iVillage and six other womenâs sites before an early evening rally at a county fairgrounds in Leesburg, Virginia.
Mrs. Obama moved her body forward and back, a la Mr. and Mrs. Raisman, to demonstrate how she feels during debates. âBut you canât make any, you can’t gesture,â she said, such as âGo baby! Yes!” The moderator will have none of it! âThey intimidate the hell out of you so ⌠Iâm there squeezing my hand and trying to make sure that I’m paying attention too.â
âItâs watching your loved one perform on a tight rope ⌠and we have two more,â she said with a smile, indicating each will be another 90 minutes of nervous canât-move-your-body-to-show-it tension.

I know this was posted already – Ms. Chips tweeted it. But it’s a great read, for anyone who missed it. Romney’s a Jackass.

Hey, did DimMitt ever release his fundraising numbers for last month?
Nope….not yet. They have until the 15 of this month. But they were quick to say that they had raised $12M after the debate. When Romney was out-raising pres Obama…..that was news worthy for the media. Now? No. Just like 7.8% EU rate for Sept.
I seem to recall DimMitt was quick to release these numbers the last few months.
Oh, Gallup has UE at 7.3% today. It’s not as scientific as the official surveys but they were very close to the official estimates last month, as I recall.
Will women fall for Mittâs moderate makeover?
By Greg Sargent
With the gender gap shrinking as Mitt Romney surges, Dems are hoping Romneyâs comments about abortion to the Des Moines Register yesterday have given them a shot at renewing their pitch for women and reopening that gap. Romney told the paper this:
âThereâs no legislation with regards to abortion that Iâm familiar with that would become part of my agenda.â
A Romney spokesperson promptly walked that back: âGov. Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life.â
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line
More of the same I didn’t mean that stuff….
What ho, peeps?
Just answered Rufus Gifford’s call and chipped in another $35 for Team Obama.
Well done setting an example, LL.
wifey unit ok now ?
Yeah, her leg has healed.
She went to the surgeon’s nutritionist yesterday to find out the regimen pre- and post-surgery. Quite an eye opener.
That’s great news. Best wishes for a successful surgery.
So Romney’s been using a new addition to his stump speech on Libya. He recalls that him and Ann met the ex-Seal that was one of the victims in the Benghazi attack. First, I figured this is way too convenient, someone musta reminded Romney that they met an then figures hey let’s put that in the stump speech. Well then a friend of the slain ex-Seal told a local radio show that he remembered the tale of the Romney meeting in a different light as told to him by his slain friend. Here’s the link to that story: http://t.co/qurUZo23
Well now this, the mother of the Seal has spoken out:
“Mother of killed former SEAL mentioned by Romney says “I don’t trust Romney”
That should be tweeted to CNN since they were telling that story on their station yesterday.
He’s such an asshole.
Wait, there’s more on the Navy Seal whose death DimMitt is using as a campaign prop:
http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/boston/12008755850115/mother-of-navy-seal-killed-in-libya-speaks-out/
Indeed – while this mother was searching for information about her son while his embassy was under attack, Romney was busy criticizing this man and his fellow embassy staffers. I’m glad she’s speaking out.
That is a powerful, truthful point. How to tweet that — this is very important.
Please send that to TeaNN, Gloria Berger and the Blizter gang were selling that yesterday.
Hi All…just responded to Rufus Giffords email and donated the $75 he asked for. Breaking my budget again but hey, our very lives depend
on PBO winning. Pls check his email and donate if you can whatever you can. Have a blessed day.
Barack Obama Facebook campaign sees ‘likes’ soar
US President Barack Obama has enjoyed a surge in Facebook “likes”, thanks to a co-ordinated social media campaign.
His team paid for “Sponsored Stories” to appear in some users’ Facebook news feeds – regardless of whether they wanted to receive them.
President Obama’s page received more than one million “likes” in a single day – compared with about 30,000 per day in earlier weeks.
///
The growth comes as President Obama and Mr Romney look to ramp up their use of digital and social media ahead of November’s vote.
In 2008, President Obama’s campaign was praised for its innovative use of social media to engage young, often first-time, voters.
This time around, the efforts have been stepped up a notch. Both candidates have invested in getting good placement on both Facebook and Twitter – with campaign teams placing ads that appear whenever a certain word, such as “debate”, is searched for by a user.

The article also covers the usual whining from ‘freedom’ murkans. It’s a fucking free website with their so revered ‘let the markets decide’ theory being tested and these ‘moochers’ whine.
I highly recommend people going back to the last post to watch Michelle’s speech in Loudoun. She was simply amazing – you can see why they call her the “secret weapon”. It’s astounding that people can’t see how awesome Michelle and her husband are, and how lucky the world is to have them.

So, according to a Suffolk University pollster, they’re going to stop polling FL because “Obama can’t win there”. Ok. This must be a figment of my imagination.
I never heard of Suffolk University – or their pollster – before yesterday. Luckily, they don’t control people’s right to vote, so they can say what they want. Reality will be a different beast.
Yes….they are well known and used in the average of poll of polls. In VA. They are right leaning poll.
Never trust what spews from pox news.
Latest Gallup is out, and the post debate bounce is eroding. PBO back up to 5% lead among registered and moved from -2 yesterday to even today with likely voters.. Let’s chill out folks and do our job.
Huzzah! On to tomorrow’s debate!
Hear, Hear.
Thanks japa.
I just heard a quote from Romney (re: abortion policy) saying he “would reinstate, by executive order, not by legislation, the Mexico City policy”. Didn’t he just say yesterday that he was going to cap legislation, and force Congress to do its job regarding legislation, and not issue regulations via executive order. Which is it?
Remember he also said that he would appoint Justices to the Supreme Court that would overturn Rove v Wade. Think about it…Bork is one of his advisers.

Are you all aware of the reason “Morning Joe” Scarborough resigned his seat 6 months after getting re-electedj in 2001? There was a dead 22 year old intern named Lori found dead in his Florida headquarters in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. Apparently the medical examiner’s office was involved in a cover-up that was never proven. The case is still open. I say we hammer the crap out of him via twitter, email, whatever. I have already sent a message saying if he EVER decided to run for elected office again, I will make it my personal mission that everyone knows about this. Every time I send him any emails I always end it with “found any dead interns lately Joe?” This is why Markos Moulitas is banned from MSNBC. He confronted Joe about the dead intern once….and poof, banned! I cannot stand his arrongant, condescening ass. Anyone want to play along with me and hammer Joe till his head explodes?
No
Suggest that after 7 Nov you might want to pursue this. From now until then, all effort not focused on electing PBO & Dems seems a bit of a waste of time.
Moreover, be really cautions with stuff like this unless you can afford really good lawyers.
Just my opinion, of course.
#OutPerform1936
Yes We Can
^^^ cautious^^^
Okay…No. That’s wrong on so many levels and something about which the President would not want his supporters doing. People are still innocent until proven guilty in this country.
OK. Message received. I agree. However, he is so thin skinned I thought it might be worth a shot to throw him off his game. He gets really, really defensive and sensitive whenever the word “intern” is uttered in his presence. But I will, without a doubt, hammer this home if he EVER even thinks about running for ANYTHING in the future. FORWARD>>>>>>>>>>
Yes. And they knew all that and still hired him at MSNBC. He was also a serial cheater. But as Bobfr said, that is for Nov 6, 2012 at about 8:45PM ET after the election has been called for pres Obama. Scarborough is earning his pay big time for the right. But that is what it is.
FORWARD.
Yep…back in 2010 Joe got Markos of Daily Kos banned from appearing on any show for a tweet he sent out about that incident…

I haven’t commented here for quite awhile, but love TOD and commenters. This is a my reliable place to come for President Obama! Thank you. đ
Regarding the next foreign policy debate, I think POTUS will kick Romney’s ass. Obama is probably one of the best war time presidents we’ve had. Romney has been a complete ass about foreign policy and now he thinks everyone likes him being aggressive so he will probably go overboard on it. He’s a natural bully. the GOP cut funding for the State Dept and that’s one reason there was a problem with security when Chris Stevens was killed in Libya.
Here’s an excellent post about the debates. Reminder of how good Joe Biden is and how well he handled Palin and also talks about the format for POTUS’s next foreign policy debate:
http://www.emptywheel.net/2012/10/08/jonathan-chait-is-wrong-about-debate-formats/
“When DC Democrats talk about Bidenâs upcoming debate performance, they seem to forget how Biden did in his debate against Sarah Palin in 2008. That was one of the biggest challenges in 08, pitting a guy with over 30 years service as a successful policy wonk Senator against a blithering, but very attractive female, idiot. It is often difficult for men to get the dynamic of debating womenâboth respecting them but not bullying themâright, and this was all the more dangerous. But Biden nailed it….
⌠He credibly addresses men and women who otherwise arenât being spoken to in this election.
If Joe Biden is an angry old man, heâs a lot like the angry old men who will swing this election.
Whatever Biden says to rebut Ryan, he is of all four candidates the most personable to people outside of the Beltway. What are called gaffes inside the Beltway are often regarded as authentic outside of it….
We can DO this!!
I’m very confident in President Obama’s abilities, but I don’t want the expectations to be sky high as they were for the last debate. This sets the stage for another round of critics.
Let’s face it, Romney is a sleazy operator and it’s difficult FOR ANYONE to debate a guy who constantly changes his positions and is able to lie with aplomb. If you’ve heard about or watched Romney’s speech on foreign policy this week, you have an idea of how he will approach the debate on foreign policy.
President Obama has a more difficult challenge because like in everything else, there have been set-backs in foreign policy and no doubt Romney will try to capitalize on that. Another challenge he has is that Romney plays into the fantasies of americans, into the myth of the omnipotent empire. President Obama’s approach is much more REALISTIC, but are americans mature enough to accept the REALITY of a world where the USA can’t dictate everything like they used to?
So with all due respect, I think it’s not realistic to expect that President Obama will cream Romney in the debate on foreign policy. He will old his own though, he will try to point out Romney’s contradictions with previous positions ( I hope he brings out the fundraising tape where Romney said he didn’t believe in the peace process re IsraĂŤl; but President Obama may choose not to talk about it to protect the national interest of the USA.)
Anyway… President Obama will make us proud. The ideal situation would be a big win and a big rebound in the polls. But if the debate is considered a draw, it will be ok and President Obama should maintain his slight lead.
POTUS interview first sit-down interview since debates with Diane Sawyer airs tonight on ABC Nightly News I believe.
Good Afternoon TOD
There was mention of this upthread but our phonebanks this week have seen bursting at the seams with volunteers. On Monday they had over 150 volunteers come out to help make calls and last night I had to sit in my car and make my calls because there was no room in that big ole office of ours.
I’ve had had no interest in the hand-wringing and the cable chatter this week so I’ve channeled my energy to volunteering every night after work. It keeps me calm and I’m so inspired by the work being done on the ground. We were told on Monday by our Team Leader to keep our heads down (reading call sheets), our noses to the grindstone (making contact with voters) and our boots on the ground (turning out the vote). The rest she said is all noise. They talked to us about how OFA has built an unprecedented force for this election. We will turnout the vote and we will win!!
Have a great Productive O’Day Everyone.
Gee, too bad no one is enthused.
Amen

“âWhen Romney says something isnât âpart of my agenda,â he doesnât mean he wonât do it. He just means he doesnât want to discuss it with the press or the public. To Romney, my agenda means âthe stuff Iâm happy to talk about.ââ

Oh.My.God. You must all do this.
My boss just told me of an, um, “interesting” search you can do on Google.
Go to images.google.com and enter the search term “completely wrong”. You might be amused by the results.
I will await your reports.
47% comments Romney said on Fox pops out. LOL.
Great find. Thanks.
WOW! he dominates that page. lol
I did it and didn’t see anything. What am I supposed to be looking for?
Hrmmm, weird. It’s supposed to be a page full of Mitt Romney pictures. Did you do it in Google Images, or in main Google?
Oh…if that’s what you meant, then yeah I already saw that. I thought it was supposed to be some huge thing.
you have to look under “images”
Okay then:
Hello All
Hope t get a chance to catch my breath in the next few days and give everyone a detailed report on seeing PBO in SF Monday. He was great.
For now I will share what I feel is a much more important question
What can each of us DO TODAY to help President Obama get elected?
I will be using the predictive dialer from home to call into Colorado – I pledge to do at least 2 hours?
What can each of you do, share your commitment below.

I wish I were there. I can talk my ass of on phone.
Your comment, amk, caused me to wonder if OFA has ever considered getting Skype handles from folk because then the cost of calling them could be minimal, if any, and folk offshore could participate without hardly any expense.
#FORWARD
skype allows only skype to skype calls free India. Calling landlines and cellphones is not free, but still cheaper than telcoms.
Will attend GOTV training this evening and continue recruiting for our team.

ROMNEY’S BAIN ADVISERS AIDED CHINA, RUSSIA GROWTH
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_ROMNEY_CHINA_RUSSIA?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-10-10-11-18-45
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Bain & Co. head in the early 1990s, Mitt Romney presided over the corporate strategy firm’s expanding operations into China and Russia, helping their initial attempts to move into the world’s free market system.
Bain’s expansion abroad under Romney’s leadership came at the same time he was rescuing the firm from an internal financial crisis. Now, almost 20 years on, the Republican presidential nominee views those two countries with suspicion….
