Hi Amk! I am, officially, but Chips Chica wounded my pride yesterday with the turtle visual, and LisaLoves hasn’t yet prayed for MY not-so-better-nature so the prideful me felt she had to respond. What can I say? /eyes downcast/
Chips, I humbly ask of you: On election day itself, could you (if you have the time and energy) post the some inspirational Obama campaign music videos on a “sticky” type thread to keep TODers (and lurkers) upbeat and fired up for PBO throughout the day? E.g. of such videos are Forward, One more term (Broadway), There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama (2012 edition).
What a great idea! I got nostalgic seeing the Australia trip video yesterday, and ended up trapped in YouTube for over an hour, reliving some old moments with President Obama. It would be great to see some of those old moments again – the first Europe trip, the Nobel Peace Prize trip, etc. Chipsticks – you know we’re going to be demanding as we head towards Tuesday… Forgive us in advance! š
I’m there with ya, Chips. And just to icing the cupcake…the BEST romantic song/video about the Obamas from 2008 (or EVAAAHHHH!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPYMaF2vAmg. Sorry about the horrid ad they added at the beginning, but it’s still worth it.
What a neat idea, Hopefruit, and good that you thought of it ahead of time so Ms Chips might be able to manoeuvre. Woo hoo! I’m starting to bop and bounce at the thought. š Dems have got the most creativ-est group of people, positive too, and our fearless leader has done a model job of teaching us that planning can be a great boon.
Are you guys talking about ‘Call your zeyde’? I liked it – maybe because **I** can’t sing. Actually though, what I particularly like was the underlying message (Yeah, yeah, I’m always getting underlying messages š ) – you don’t have to be a terrific singer to vote or encourage others to vote, you just have to be sincere and get involved. The zeyde seemed ‘real’ to (non-singer) me. š
Here’s another idea, Chipsticks: make a quicklike YouTube of YOURSELF, singing and doing whatever it is you do so well…. Post that for us, and I KNOW we’ll stay fired up(we will be anyway!) what do y’all think of this idea? Just imagine…… š
Pamela, I actually threatened to do this recently, I said I would use my singing as a replacement for the Newt Mankini as punishment for naughty people. And honestly, my singing is the ultimate punishment š
ELECTED OFFICIALS WORKING TOGETHER FOR GREATER GOOD OF AMERICANS
Picture of the Day: President Obama and Chris Christie Working Together
By: Sarah Jones
——————————-
As we mourn for those whose lives were lost in Sandy and those who lost their homes and businesses, we can take heart that right now, there are elected officials working together for greater good of Americans.
It is shameful that this is news, and even worse, that as these two men and all of our first responders and helpful citizens work together as patriots, some Republicans just canāt let go of their pettiness. Even now, Bushās FEMA director is still criticizing the President for being competent while Fox News desperately tries to distract from the Presidentās steady leadership by politicizing yet another tragedy.
.
.
If you canāt come together in times like these and you canāt manage to be a grown up for a few days, you probably donāt deserve to hold elected office. This means that most of the Congressional Republicans should be voted out November 6th for putting defeating Obama over helping struggling Americans. Country first, over politics.
I have now seen that ad about the Bin Laden movie, a dozen times.
One scene, an Administration official told the SEALs, that he thinks Cather or kill is fine.
It looked like Rahm!
When President Obama came to the Green Bay area after Walker took office, he was met on the tarmac by Walker and the mayor of Green Bay with a Packer jersey signed by Woodson saying “See you at the White House.” Wonderful gesture to be donating to the Red Cross and likely why coach Mccarthy gave him permission to appear there.
Did you see the last debate? Thompson was very condescending. Treated her like she was a little girl who didn’t really understand anything. Doubt that went over well with women. It didn’t with me.
Don’t have to be negative about Nate Silver today – he has good stats and a good read (not always the case, he doesn’t write very well imo). He may be slightly peeved by the recent attacks viz. one comment
“None of this ought to have been surprising, exactly, if you have been attentive to the polls rather than the pundits”
Their over polling democrats, their over polling democrats.
Yes! And those six hour long lines in Miami Dade county, pay no attention to that!
It’s a mirage.
Leaving Boston; unable to get to New York; going to Norfolk, va instead. Please keep me in your prayers while I continue to put up with the horribly racist, ugly in spirit republikkkans on this ship. Found 2 dems yesterday and one of them works in health services, insurance side…said once people realize how good Obamacare is, there will never be any turning back. Please, everyone, reach everyone you can and take them to the voting places.
They are now complaining about the Obama ground game, asking is it really that good in Florida? Meanwhile, we are 79k votes ahead with over 3 million votes cast-
Jovie – they are becoming unhinged. It’s almost painful to my brain to hear the ludicrous stuff they’re coming up with, and it’s only bound to get loopier before Tuesday. You may need to step away from these polls and the wacky analysis if you want to avoid injury… š
Hello Bob – probably a good thing for everyone that a GOP Governor gets some understanding as to what PBO has to cope with every single day from wingnuts and the media
To be the object of such vast hate just because one is trying to help others is, for me, the overarching message of how deranged a faction of our society is, 99. We know why they hate our President – he’s not ‘white.’ But, that they are so steeped in that hate that they went after a Governor simply doing his job should be a revelation Gov Christie, himself, and others should ponder for the remainder of their life.
Christie was one of them just a couple of weeks ago. I appreciate Christie working with the President now – that’s how it should be. But, I can’t forgive the hurtful things he said, and the insults. I can’t forgive the mocking. And the bullying. And I remember how he was in Disney World during the first storm, and attacked people for questioning his judgement when he got back. He’s flying right today, and I commend him for it, but he’s got a lot to make up for. I really appreciate President Obama and his ability to forgive and forget, and to rise above the smallness of those around him.
Theo don’t hold onto the hurt because our President does not. We can’t afford to; too much work to attend to. All those that we mistreat we have to revisit with them. You don’t want to be anybody’s foot stool. Fill your heart with goodness as I know that you do. NO ONE with evil intent have any business in your space.
G. Christie is a perfect example. He had to revisit his words.
[RE: that Spanish ad Williard is running in FL is kicking him in the ass]:
But at least one Cuban reader, Rosa Hombredela, was outraged and said in an email that the ad is evidence of “corrupt politics. True, people like my father and mother helped build what the city of Miami is today, but, it is unfortunate but also true, that the same infectious style of politics that put Castro in power has germinated in Miami making it a banana republic. I was born in Cuba, raised in the United States, I’m a woman, a Republican and I voted yesterday for President Barack Obama. Proud to say so.”
Che and Chavez and Obama? In what universe? Che was killed in 1967. Obama was 5 years old and Chavez was 13. Pray tell when and where these three walked together? These people are hoping that nobody figures out that the time line is not there. This attempt to rile the Cuban and Venezuelan voters with tragic historical wounds is nothing more than another cheap attempt to divide the Hispanic community.
Damn, he looks and sounds TERRIFIC! Dressed in his Commander in Chief bomber jacket — running down the steps and across the tarmac. Fresh as a daisy and voice is strong. That’s my President!
Oh my gawd! My President has tweaked his speech IN JUST THE RIGHT WAY, AGAIN! And he ain’t pullin’ no punches! Lord, I love, love LOVE this leader! Keep him safe, Lord, and THANK YOU!!
I take it back. THIS is not a ‘tweaked’ speech. This is THE SPEECH needed on this day in time before the actual final voting! A new roll-out! /dancing around with glee, I am!/ š š š š š š Oh God, I’m sooo happy! š š
Bobfr, you have absolutely no idea how psyched I am with this speech! Tweety’s tingle just does not compare! I absolutely adore good speakers, and when their delivery comes packaged in absolute truth and unquestioned sincerity, and tied up with a coulurful bow of respect for my intelligence as an ADULT voter, I am….I am… I am….. (speechless with ….with ….. I give up)!
Hi Girl Child, can you see the bubble that is just surging inside of me? I never anticipated this kind of a reaction today. I iz sooo happy, I wish I could hear it again right away. š I just went to check C-span but didn’t see it where I checked. I saw mention of AnnD coming up so I beat a hasty retreat.
I caught just a bit of the speech, and I could tell that he was giving his closing argument. It had a completely different character to it. It’s bittersweet.
‘Bittersweet’, if I step back and look at it as being the first of the last set of speeches in PBO’s last campaign, but **I** don’t. Theo, I’m not going to start my mind along that route, thank you very much. **I** am going to FULLY ENJOY every minute of every day that the President is serving in this role until he is not serving anymore. In other words, I ain’t thinking of 2016 while I have Barack Hussein in the White House. I want to be able to appreciate all that the country will accomplish under his guidance over the next four years. 2016 will come soon enough then I’ll think of bittersweet, and who knows, I might not even be around for it. So, not nibbling at today’s joys in anticipation of tomorrow’s sorrows š
We will savor the next four years and when it’s done we will just sit back and watch him soar to greater heights, if there is any greater heights for him to reach he will reach it.
It will be fascinating watching him take the next phase of his life asone of the greatest leaders, ever. And, when people in school are learing about Presidents his name will be called as the 44th and 45th President of the United States and Romney will be Rom-who?
.
Now, I need another grandchild to tell about this time in history that I was lucky enough to see firsthand.
I came to the board to just say the same thing ! It’s his closing argument. Wow, what a speech. I absolutely LOVED it ! ANd on top of that, you sense, in his attitude, his smile, his eyes even, that he’s confident about the election.
Oh LP2008, hold my hand and dance around with me! I can’t sit down just yet. I’m flying. Wheee! š š
This, this, this speech has just touched something deep down inside of me. I know in my lifetime I won’t ever see another presidential candidate, another world leader, like President Barack Hussein Obama and I feel so tremendously blessed that I could see and live within the same time frame as this man! Okay. O-kay. I’m trying to bring myself down. Don’t be sacred away, LP …. I’m not going crazy….I’ll come back to normal…eventually.
PBO is breaking down the whole GOP obstruction: (paraphrasing) “they are betting on the American people being so worn down that they reward the people who caused the gridlock in the first place.” Crowd: “Nooooo!”
More Bad News for Mitt-Chrysler sets new October sales record for Jeep Wrangler
“Chrysler Group LLC set a new October sales record for the Jeep Wrangler and three other vehicles as overall sales increased 10 percent over last year to 114,512. ”
Good morning, TOD! I’m in a mellow Obama mood, but “canadabarb4obama” is stuck on a RWNJ cruise ship, reminding us of the “pockets” in our country who are insane. Here’s her message for today, which she was unable to post herself on TOD, reminding us of the good wishes we have around the globe, in getting President Obama re-elected:
“Leaving Boston; unable to get to New York; going to Norfolk, Va instead. Please keep me in your prayers while I continue to put up with the horribly racist, ugly in spirit republikkkans on this ship. Found 2 dems yesterday and one of them works in health services, insurance side…said once people realize how good Obamacare is, there will never be any turning back. Please, everyone, reach everyone you can and take them to the voting places.”
The last cruise we went on,I dressed up one evening and went to the fancy dining room. Big mistake. They assign you seats and with my luck I was seated at a table with some of those rednecks. No teeth or one tooth, in casual dingy wear although they expressly told you no jeans, no shorts, off, no sandals and a jacket for men.
This one asshole looked at me and my lovely beautiful daughter and decided to “take set” on us. My daughter set him straight. She and I stood our ground.
One of them said he was dying to get his country back and get back his White House. I told him 2016 will come fast enough. He can wait. The whole table went quiet and the fool sputtered and coughed. His wife tried to get him to drink some water and the water couldn’t or wouldn’t go down. I just sat there, ordered dessert and watch the fool turn red.
Left them there and never went back to the fancy dining room. Floating trailer parks are what these cruises are.
Oh, miss pat, I shouldn’t, but I’m laughing out loud at that last sentence. We’ll have to have Barb give us her full recap, too. Sounds more like “cruisin’ for a bruisin'” than having fun.
I can’t manage the long walks through airports anymore. So we go on cruises and if there is a three day lapse we go to a hotel and them get back on the ship just before it’s time to leave. Bermuda is beautiful so we do that cruise often. And we stay out of the KKKians way. If you stay out of th e casino and go eat at odd times it’s like you don’t have to see them.
When that marina owner yesterday asked him to promise her that she would be OK, and he looked deep in her eyes and said, “I promise”, I think that stirred something in him that was the genesis of him seeking office in the first place. He’s here for all of us. And he’s a fighter. He’s not going to let Mitt steal this election – not without a fight. So many people are depending on him, and many don’t even know it. I couldn’t help but wonder how many of those people who are now relying on FEMA were planning to vote for Romney before Monday? I couldn’t help but wonder how many of them thought that the 47% didn’t refer to them one whit, or who thought that the “we built it” nonsense of the GOP convention was a good idea. i wonder how many of them are glad that President Obama was residing in the Oval Office when this hurricane came calling, and who know that things really are going to be all right because he keeps his promises.
“Real estate mogul and ardent birther Donald Trump has been asked to stump for Mitt Romney in the final week before Election Day. Trump will be doing robo-calls in Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Florida ā crucial battleground states. The campaign also reportedly asked him to do campaign stops, which may conflict with the taping of his show, ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.ā
I absolutely LOVED that speech. It was about big things. It was about our accomplishments, about what makes America great, about what makes us stronger, about a vision where everyone is treated fairly and equally, about where we need and want to go over the next four years. Pres. Obama’s America is a great one indeed.
š Hi! Is there still a spot pour moi?
I guess so. š
Thanks, CC! š

Woot!
So I was reading over there – did I make the first 10?
Yes, ma’am! You getting any sounds yet from the links above?
Yep. I got sound on the CBS link.
Thanks, YardArm.
Top 5!!!!! Morning ya’ll
Morning everyone,….
I clicked on CBS…yuck!….it’s Romney…..
I clicked on CBS – and it said “not allowed in your area” – I am thankful I missed Romney – will head over to cspan
It says 11.35am (ET) on c-span
I know…that’s why I clicked on CBS….mmmmm
Check CNN and Whitehouse.gov – I think they say 10:40 ET.
Looks like the rally is starting at 10:40 but PBO won’t be there for a while?
The 10:35 is Central time. He can’t get to Green Bay in an hour.
Okey dokey, thank you.

š Morning Jer and TY 4Bing ‘hip’ as per usual. š
I got the Prez but he’s not on yet.
Good morning.
Well ‘good morning’ Ralph, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face. Nice to see you.
Chips, I humbly ask of you: On election day itself, could you (if you have the time and energy) post the some inspirational Obama campaign music videos on a “sticky” type thread to keep TODers (and lurkers) upbeat and fired up for PBO throughout the day? E.g. of such videos are Forward, One more term (Broadway), There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama (2012 edition).
Excellent idea Hopefruit!
This one is really catchy and might help in Florida: http://callyourzeyde.org/
What a great idea! I got nostalgic seeing the Australia trip video yesterday, and ended up trapped in YouTube for over an hour, reliving some old moments with President Obama. It would be great to see some of those old moments again – the first Europe trip, the Nobel Peace Prize trip, etc. Chipsticks – you know we’re going to be demanding as we head towards Tuesday… Forgive us in advance! š
Morning, Theo!
‘Chipsticks ā you know weāre going to be demanding as we head towards Tuesday⦠Forgive us in advance!’ X 2
Yeah, Chips! Forgive us in advance, please.
Here’s my contribution. I listened to this song whenever I felt down during the 2008 campaign.
Oops… here is it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUJz6sU-zm0
Thanks LaDLove – but I never felt higher! Today just keeps getting better š
I’m there with ya, Chips. And just to icing the cupcake…the BEST romantic song/video about the Obamas from 2008 (or EVAAAHHHH!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPYMaF2vAmg. Sorry about the horrid ad they added at the beginning, but it’s still worth it.
I hope there is room for both.

I’m starting to bop and bounce at the thought. š Dems have got the most creativ-est group of people, positive too, and our fearless leader has done a model job of teaching us that planning can be a great boon.
Wonderful idea.
š She sings a little like me.
esshhhh…I didn’t want to say anything but……it was…mmmm….different?
I feel bad for being mean – but my ears hurt!!!
Re the singing – I was thinking along the same lines but l kept quiet for the sake of peace.
(You’re a kinder person than me!)
LOL! Well let’s put it this way – it was still better than Meatloaf. I know that’s not saying a whole lot, but it will have to do for now. š
Are you guys talking about ‘Call your zeyde’? I liked it – maybe because **I** can’t sing.

Wow, who was the guy who just pledged $100K to the Red Cross at PBO’s rally?
One of the WI packers?
Plays for the Packers — don’t know his name
Romney sure missed his chances on that one, he had 2 DAYS to sort it – wonderful that it was at PBOs rally
Thanks, guys. twitter tells me it’s Charles Woodson.
When President Obama came to the Green Bay area after Walker took office, he was met on the tarmac by Walker and the mayor of Green Bay with a Packer jersey signed by Woodson saying “See you at the White House.” Wonderful gesture to be donating to the Red Cross and likely why coach Mccarthy gave him permission to appear there.
Well, it was not Clay Matthews. I seen him on Hannity, bashing the President.

I would say, it might be Woodson!

Are we getting closer to
“Collective consciousness awakening”
Can we see clearer that we are the creators
Of global calamity catastrophic events
It all starts with though, word, deed
yes living out our light – love = sharing
Or acting out our darkness – fear = greed
It’s not a matter of blame-shame game
Instead it is a divine opportunity for all and everyone
To ascend into co-creating heaven on earth
Or descend into what we see now
All around us ( Sandy, tsunami , Katrina )
Sisters and brothers all over this beautiful planet
We are experiencing a irreversible shift
In human behavior
Compassion is the new currency
Generosity is the new cash
The intergalactic bank of light and love
Will never run out of funds
May we spend 15 minutes 3 times a day
Crystallizing our thought ( being one with our Christ consciousness )
To help heal
life, people, animals and our beloved planet
Peace

I’m a fan of Carlos Santana…I even met him once. I love this beautiful statement.

So dramatic with the music and the rally going full speed!!
PSYCHED!!
All anchors up and engines are all ahead full.
Ahhhh.
Good morning Ms Jacque.
Morning here, seems to be afternoon everywhere else! How ya doing? I’m missing PBO’s speech, but I’ll catch up. All ahead full. Soon!
Majestic and inspiring! Wish I could be there.
LOVE this bus! In case you can’t read it, above and to the left of “Battleground States” it says “STOP DISRESPECTING MY PRESIDENT”

Beautiful landing, and the crowd cheers!
I can imagine it!! My husband and I went to the Packer game Sunday and stayed at the motel right by the airfield!!

I see a lot of “hard-working white folks” in the crowd, but, but, but…… š
We take care of our own!
Excellent!

GM TOD’ers. Back home. It was friggin’ rain, rain, rain, in the island of serendip. Even the pilot was surprised see me for two consecutive days.
Glad you survived your version of Hurricane Sandy, amk! Fingers were crossed for your safe journey.
Oh, he’s flying the “Biggie” today…
Cool Biggie! š
Watching the preparations of AF1 for Pres. Obama. So exciting.
I love these events at the airport with that plane as a backdrop. Eat your heart out Romney cuz you will NEVER have one.!!!
5 Days to Victory!!!
Totally awesome….gives me goosebumps and a big smile on my face. CIC that’s him right there.
He’s wearing his cool jacket! That’s my word for today: cool! š
Damn, he looks and sounds TERRIFIC! Dressed in his Commander in Chief bomber jacket — running down the steps and across the tarmac. Fresh as a daisy and voice is strong. That’s my President!
MY, MY, MY. Love that jacket.
He’s more than earned it and he wears it oh so well!
That’s my POTUS!! Full of vigor and tremendous energy to help and prove America is the best when it’s unified.
Yes ma’am!
AWESOME!!!!
POTUS rolling out new speech for the final days of the campaign.
I caught the tail end of the speech, and it was inspiring and awesome. Very touching.
Andy is particularly brutal in that little essay … š
#TrustBarack
My President. Your President. OUR President.
I just love him!!!!!
Red head lady in the back is FIRED UP! š
Crowd chants loudly, FOUR MORE YEARS!!
POTUS winks!!
GF, I about passed out when he winked. š
He is looking mighty fine today. I had to say it. š
GF, I just now regained consciousness.
lmao Meta!
Now where’s that Yardarm with his new shipment of smelling salts?
BOMBER jacket is a message to Mitt: “I AM the President of the United States”
Oh Yes, Donna.
Damn straight! And I have the cool plane, seat taken, etc.! š
Yes, and “the big house.” š
š š
LOL. Somebody hollered….”Trust you”. PBO is looking delicious right now. š
Oh my gawd! My President has tweaked his speech IN JUST THE RIGHT WAY, AGAIN! And he ain’t pullin’ no punches! Lord, I love, love LOVE this leader! Keep him safe, Lord, and THANK YOU!!
“Leader” is the key word in your statement. Mitt Robney is only a follower.
And not even a good follower, OC, because Mitt canNOT ‘read’ subtleties. Heck, he can’t even read what’s on the lines!
I take it back. THIS is not a ‘tweaked’ speech. This is THE SPEECH needed on this day in time before the actual final voting! A new roll-out! /dancing around with glee, I am!/ š š š š š š Oh God, I’m sooo happy! š š
It is a very, very fine speech and yes, not ‘tweaked’!
#TrustBarack
Bobfr, you have absolutely no idea how psyched I am with this speech! Tweety’s tingle just does not compare! I absolutely adore good speakers, and when their delivery comes packaged in absolute truth and unquestioned sincerity, and tied up with a coulurful bow of respect for my intelligence as an ADULT voter, I am….I am… I am….. (speechless with ….with ….. I give up)!
Well said, VC!
Hi Girl Child, can you see the bubble that is just surging inside of me? I never anticipated this kind of a reaction today. I iz sooo happy, I wish I could hear it again right away. š I just went to check C-span but didn’t see it where I checked. I saw mention of AnnD coming up so I beat a hasty retreat.
I caught just a bit of the speech, and I could tell that he was giving his closing argument. It had a completely different character to it. It’s bittersweet.
‘Bittersweet’, if I step back and look at it as being the first of the last set of speeches in PBO’s last campaign, but **I** don’t. Theo, I’m not going to start my mind along that route, thank you very much. **I** am going to FULLY ENJOY every minute of every day that the President is serving in this role until he is not serving anymore. In other words, I ain’t thinking of 2016 while I have Barack Hussein in the White House. I want to be able to appreciate all that the country will accomplish under his guidance over the next four years. 2016 will come soon enough then I’ll think of bittersweet, and who knows, I might not even be around for it. So, not nibbling at today’s joys in anticipation of tomorrow’s sorrows š
We will savor the next four years and when it’s done we will just sit back and watch him soar to greater heights, if there is any greater heights for him to reach he will reach it.
It will be fascinating watching him take the next phase of his life asone of the greatest leaders, ever. And, when people in school are learing about Presidents his name will be called as the 44th and 45th President of the United States and Romney will be Rom-who?
.
Now, I need another grandchild to tell about this time in history that I was lucky enough to see firsthand.
I like this Miss Pat, though I take a pass on the ‘grandchild’ part. š
š
I came to the board to just say the same thing ! It’s his closing argument. Wow, what a speech. I absolutely LOVED it ! ANd on top of that, you sense, in his attitude, his smile, his eyes even, that he’s confident about the election.
Oh LP2008, hold my hand and dance around with me! I can’t sit down just yet. I’m flying. Wheee! š š
This, this, this speech has just touched something deep down inside of me. I know in my lifetime I won’t ever see another presidential candidate, another world leader, like President Barack Hussein Obama and I feel so tremendously blessed that I could see and live within the same time frame as this man! Okay. O-kay. I’m trying to bring myself down. Don’t be sacred away, LP …. I’m not going crazy….I’ll come back to normal…eventually.
PBO is breaking down the whole GOP obstruction: (paraphrasing) “they are betting on the American people being so worn down that they reward the people who caused the gridlock in the first place.” Crowd: “Nooooo!”
More Bad News for Mitt-Chrysler sets new October sales record for Jeep Wrangler

Oh. MY. GOD. What a fantastic speech! WoW!
Good morning, TOD! I’m in a mellow Obama mood, but “canadabarb4obama” is stuck on a RWNJ cruise ship, reminding us of the “pockets” in our country who are insane. Here’s her message for today, which she was unable to post herself on TOD, reminding us of the good wishes we have around the globe, in getting President Obama re-elected:
“Leaving Boston; unable to get to New York; going to Norfolk, Va instead. Please keep me in your prayers while I continue to put up with the horribly racist, ugly in spirit republikkkans on this ship. Found 2 dems yesterday and one of them works in health services, insurance side…said once people realize how good Obamacare is, there will never be any turning back. Please, everyone, reach everyone you can and take them to the voting places.”
The last cruise we went on,I dressed up one evening and went to the fancy dining room. Big mistake. They assign you seats and with my luck I was seated at a table with some of those rednecks. No teeth or one tooth, in casual dingy wear although they expressly told you no jeans, no shorts, off, no sandals and a jacket for men.
This one asshole looked at me and my lovely beautiful daughter and decided to “take set” on us. My daughter set him straight. She and I stood our ground.
One of them said he was dying to get his country back and get back his White House. I told him 2016 will come fast enough. He can wait. The whole table went quiet and the fool sputtered and coughed. His wife tried to get him to drink some water and the water couldn’t or wouldn’t go down. I just sat there, ordered dessert and watch the fool turn red.
Left them there and never went back to the fancy dining room. Floating trailer parks are what these cruises are.
Oh, miss pat, I shouldn’t, but I’m laughing out loud at that last sentence. We’ll have to have Barb give us her full recap, too. Sounds more like “cruisin’ for a bruisin'” than having fun.
I can’t manage the long walks through airports anymore. So we go on cruises and if there is a three day lapse we go to a hotel and them get back on the ship just before it’s time to leave. Bermuda is beautiful so we do that cruise often. And we stay out of the KKKians way. If you stay out of th e casino and go eat at odd times it’s like you don’t have to see them.
I can’t imagine myself stuck on a RWNJ cruise ship. Heading off to light a candle for canadabarb4obama right now! Nobody deserves that..
š
Wow, he is blowing my sox off. This speech is magnificent.
Mine also Meta. I love this new speech.
Lovin’ the “they need a champion” theme. Haven’t heard it before and it’s awesome. And the “We’ve come too far..” points, too.
When that marina owner yesterday asked him to promise her that she would be OK, and he looked deep in her eyes and said, “I promise”, I think that stirred something in him that was the genesis of him seeking office in the first place. He’s here for all of us. And he’s a fighter. He’s not going to let Mitt steal this election – not without a fight. So many people are depending on him, and many don’t even know it. I couldn’t help but wonder how many of those people who are now relying on FEMA were planning to vote for Romney before Monday? I couldn’t help but wonder how many of them thought that the 47% didn’t refer to them one whit, or who thought that the “we built it” nonsense of the GOP convention was a good idea. i wonder how many of them are glad that President Obama was residing in the Oval Office when this hurricane came calling, and who know that things really are going to be all right because he keeps his promises.
We’ve come to fare to turn back now. We’ve come to far to let our heart go faint…
“far” vice “fare”
I’m a hot mess right now. OH MY goodness, what a SPREACH!!! š
I like that – “Spreach!”
LOL!:
“Real estate mogul and ardent birther Donald Trump has been asked to stump for Mitt Romney in the final week before Election Day. Trump will be doing robo-calls in Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Florida ā crucial battleground states. The campaign also reportedly asked him to do campaign stops, which may conflict with the taping of his show, ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.ā
http://bobcesca.com/blog-archives/2012/10/birther-trump-to-robo-call-stump-for-romney.html
This is the quality of Romney’s judgement.
She’s removed any doubt that she is an OBOT!!! :
#TrustBarack
Come on Abby, tell us that your dad is voting for President Obama too…
Dynamite as always. I think we found some of that missing enthusiasm, eh?
I always watch CSPAN’s feed at the end because they continue to show the Prez shaking hands while CNN always cuts their feed off.
I absolutely LOVED that speech. It was about big things. It was about our accomplishments, about what makes America great, about what makes us stronger, about a vision where everyone is treated fairly and equally, about where we need and want to go over the next four years. Pres. Obama’s America is a great one indeed.
Is it just me or he feels confident about Tuesday, and this has put some smile in his eyes….
New post everyone, back in a while:
