PBO
I just sstarted on the last thread. Hi Chips and TODER’s
Bobfr You are quick on the draw! Congratulations! May I say how much I enjoy your tweets and am proud to retweet them!
Thank you very much, Mary! I was just getting ready to add the one above to the bottom of the last thread when Chips opened the new one đ

Ooh. Top 10 this afternoon.
Interestingly, I clicked on the link regarding the IBD/TIPP poll which took me to the Investor’s Daily website. As I moused over the tabs at the top up popped a rather nasty political cartoon accusing PBO of lying.
Send that to the OFA Attack Watch team if u see it again
There you go again Chips. Waterworks.
Ditto.
Maya is so beautiful…those eyes. Her mama raised 2 awesome children. Thank you Chips for these uplifting videos…
Last time Beyonce played âat lastâ at the inaugural ball. I think this time she should play this song.
IT fits Barrack and Michelle so much.
“I loan him to the country, but I want him back in 2012” -Maya Soetoro-Ng (para-phrasing of course)
That was so sweet. She has such a tender soul.
Please can we keep him until 2017?
LMAO at my typo. It should read as she said ” back in 2016″ LOL my bad!
đ ( o/t, see, I just today have remembered what the word ‘nap’ means, and I think I like it! )
Also followed the link to Forbes on this new book about how Democrats are good for the economy. Interesting! Also interesting is the sidebar showing that their article on the whole Ohio-Tagg-Romney-Bain-controlled-voting-machine mess has had +91,000 views!
Can you imagine if anyone in the Obama family, say Barack’s sister or Michelle’s brother, had anything to do with voting machines that were going to be used in the presidential election in all-important Ohio? There would be sirens blaring across the country.
I know right? The double standard is infuriating.
3 dead, 4 wounded in today’s Wi. mass shooting. I believe the gunman is still at large. I read that Packer fans watching today’s game were treated to a NRA pac ad attacking Obama before the FOX affiliate cut away to updates on the mass shooting.
Confession time: I have a crush on Maya.
She’s very cute – and her giggling at the end makes me giggle each time I watch it.
It’s understandable!
I could listen to Maya Soetoro-Ng talk about her brother for hours. I wish she would share more about her perspective watching her brother’s presidency unfold.
She is such a wonderful little sister and an accomplished person in her own right. Maya seems to have that deep calmness ans self-awareness that her big brother has. I always like watching and listening to her.
My spouse wants to know why a private ciitizen owns voting machines for a presidential or any elections in this country. Who are the programmers and how are they audited?
That’s a very good question. Apparently, Chuck Todd thinks it’s hogwash.
Embattled GOP Consultant Had Close Ties To Romney Campaign
http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/embattled-gop-consultant-had-close-ties-to-romney
They all know that the ONLY way they win is to steal it ….
Jovie..if your still here could you post a tag to Mayor Bloomberg and his statement than Bain does not qualify Romney to b president.
What’s Bloomberg up to now? Do you have a link?
Bloomberg bashed both of them – will not provide a link to that disgusting cretin.
Yes but he’s also leaning toward PBO. Says his social stance on issues are more in line. Hopefully that will sway many who holds his words in high esteem
Thank you for not providing a link. Bloomberg has been teetering on the wrong side of history a few times, now. He needs to decide.
Bloomberg Disses Obama & Romney, Says Tax Plans “Are Not Real”
http://gothamist.com/2012/10/21/bloomberg_disses_obama_romney_says.php
“I do think that Romneyâs business experience would be valuable, but I donât know that running Bain Capital gives you the experience to run the country” =Bloomberg
There is also a link to politico but since I don’t do politico….
Bloomberg is in a parallel universe anyway. Just make sure your soft drinks aren’t too big. You can,however, drink a coupla pints of beer!
It’s an ignored story CK. Souls to the Polls is apparently taking place all over NC today. The media is in for a rude awakening on election night especially since NC has one-stop voting where you can register and vote at the same time. None and I mean None of those voters are in any polling screens. They are out there under the radar and it is a beautiful thing!
Yep if we keep this early vote up, MR cannot make up the difference on election day.
Exactly, Donna.
It’s just a thing of beauty to be watching all these folk in NC, NV, etc., who are doing the only ‘polling’ that matters – going the poll to vote!!! And, yes, these folk aren’t likely to be in any ‘screen’ etc đ
#PRESSON
Richmond county is about 30 mins from where I am from in NC. As a matter of fact Richmond Senior High was my high school’s rivals. Woot! Woot! NC is fired up and ready to go!
And my gut tells me that y’all are gonna bring it home for PBO again this year as well!!!
Donna I am telling you the enthusiasm among my friends and family in NC is actually stronger than in 2008. My 83 year old grandma said she was not waiting a week this time to vote early that she was going the first day. I have seen my friends from NC on their FB page saying they voted early and asking others have they voted or telling them they need to go vote. It is nice just to hear and see first hand accounts vs listening to pundits. I am telling you Romney has scared the crap out of people.
Thank you for sharing the neat news, Obamacrat – especially about your 83 y/o grandmother!!!

Now here’s an interesting poll – this was a link from a link on the previous post: The 7-11 coffee cup poll!
http://www.7-eleven.com/7-Election/NationalResults.aspx
POTUS and Maya have such amazing voices. They’ve got voices for radio and faces for tv. I know their mother must have had a beautiful soothing voice as well.
Interesting twitter exchange this morning between @ChuckTodd and @Mckay Coppins (Buzzfeed). Sorry, Cookemom, I know you tire of our endless complaints about MSM, but @ChuckTodd is the absolute worst; worse than even “Dick” Halperin. He bascially admits he’s lying on TV, and will be through Nov. 6:
Todd: “If I were to make educated guess today, 4 closest states are FL/CO/VA/IA. Polling diffs are about turnout and early vote makeup”
Coppins: “@chucktodd If Ohio’s not on that list, that means Romney loses, right?”
Todd: “@mckaycoppins no but it’s harder for him.”
Coppins: “@chucktodd I’m not seeing a realistic path to 270 without Ohio. Certainly seems to have a better chance there than Nevada, for instance.”
“@mckaycoppins agreed. And I’d throw WI in there w/NV”
I hope he got paid dearly. What is the price for a soul and one’s integrity on the open market these days?
You don’t get much for an empty soul.
That Maya is just lovely. The President is surrounded by excellent women.
Isn’t this sweet and cozy? Team Romney had a friendly game of football on the beach in Fl. today against Team Press Which Is Supposed To Be Covering Him. They had a blast together. Isn’t that nice? And creepy?
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/21/a-football-draw-for-romneys-staff-and-the-press/?smid=tw-share
Sigh!!!—–and back to calling Iowa (either not home or already voted for Obama + 1 crab)
So, the media refuses to accept an ice-cream from President Obama but they can play a physical game of football with Romney? I can’t wait for the whole lot of them to be crushed on Nov 6. I just can’t wait.
Hey I just realized the last debate is tomorrow. I wonder which mitt will show. Bet he’ll claim all PBO’s stances as his own then criticize PBO for not doing it fast enough or getting the ‘proper approval’ or uttering the very, precisely, correct phrase.
Should we do a pool? The “Which Mitt” Pool:
1. adelson’s ‘champion of Israel’ chicken hawk mitt
2. compassionate mitt
3. the i rely on state personnel mitt
4. bomb iran mitt
5. elliminate palestinians mitt
6. the palestinians need our help mitt
7. the lets start at the previously agreed borders mitt
8. lets not give an inch of ground in Israel mitt
9. the sanctions need time to work mitt
10. all of the above at any given time of the debate mitt?
I’m leaning toward number 10. (feel free to add any mitts i missed :lol:)
Winner gets dinner for one at burger world on their own dime. ‘Kay?
Ha! That’s too many options imho.
This is a wonderful picture of two very proud voters for PBO

There’s another picture on the same link that shows the President on a conference call to discuss the shooting in Wisconsin. He’s always working. Makes me feel really lazy today – I’m making all sorts of excuses to sit at home on the internet and watching taped programs…
Word Theo. I had the same thought. He is always working. I feel like such a slacker.
Just what do TeaNN Headline mean by that, ” Is Obama the wrong kind of Christian?
Here’s the ‘tease’ from the article.
He’s been called the anti-Christ. But Obama is a “different” kind of Christian, progressives say — one who’s challenging the religious right’s grip on the national stage.
Apparently the article is really pro-Obama, saying that his kind of progressive Christian is challenging the dominance of the religious right. They just chose to put up this stupid headline. So most people seeing the headline, but not reading the article will get entirely the wrong idea.
Thank You Chips for this great website. I read it every day, and wanted to complement you.
Tally, that Op-Ed has more than 99000 views in the barely 24 h it’s been online …

When I looked about an hour ago it had 91,000. Wow!

President Obamaâs Undeniable Record
By LOLGOP
——————–
Only a Democrat could prevent a Depression, end a war, capture and kill Osama bin Laden, double the Dow â and then hear constantly that he canât run on his record.
If President John McCain were seeking a second term with these undeniable accomplishments, the GOP would skip the campaign and spend the money on carving his grimace into Mt. Rushmore and onto the dime, while renaming every federal everything in America after the man.
In 2004, after George W. blew the surplus, didnât prevent 9/11, let bin Laden get away at Tora Bora, and invaded the wrong country, Republicans still proudly ran on that record. Of course, that was before Bush tried to privatize Social Security, gave up on his Orwellian terror alerts, and let New Orleans drown, driving his approval rating down to Nixon-during-Watergate-era levels. Since Herbert Hoover, has any president had a worse tenure? But who said, âGeorge W. Bush canât run on his record!â
