(bringing over) Chipsticks – you’re super quick today 🙂
And a GREAT West Coast Afternoon Chipsticks & TOD family!!!
President Obama is on a wave that is impossible to beat! He braved the cold and gave a fantastic speech in Wisconsin today. Thank you Chipsticks for the coverage and the photos. But especially Thanks for that O’Donnell clip – it’s PRICELESS!!!
Love the Bloomberg and Starbucks endorsements b/c I know they have caused much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the other side, lol. Whatever it takes…
It’s my mother’s birthday Saturday…..another Scorpio.
I am so obsessed with the elections that it’s all I think about it seem. My work schedule changed, my work load tripled in the past few weeks because the company I worked for was sold so it’s a bit crazy lately for me…major adjustment and bad bad timing.
I do keep up the best I can….I’m so nervous but I have no doubt that the President will be elected…I just want it to be over.
My brother called me earlier and said to me…..”hey sis, November 3rd Saturday”………..I said to him: ”Yea I know, 3 days before the elections!!!”….He said: ”mmmm no, I meant it’s mom’s birthday”……….ouch!! I completely forgot about it….completely.
I have a couple of hours tonight to find something for her that won’t look like a last minute gift……
My nerves can’t take more of this…..it’s so intense.
dearest Christi – I feel you friend! deeply! I’m obsessed! My friends tell me I have to take a “chill pill” I can’t and I won’t…I need to be alert and attuned to every single little iota of a change in: polling; endorsements; mitts lies and deceptions which I need to continue to dismantle; and of course, with only these few days left, I/we must continue to reach out to our friends in the “battlegrounds”…and as for those handful of “undecideds” wow I just wish I could meet them all… I have a friend here at work who is “undecided” and I just gently lectured to him about WOMEN’S RIGHTS and he actually grinned and said You did good today! I’ll let you try again tomorrow! I think I’m getting through! My 81 yr. old Mom has been sitting alone in the dark in downtown Manhattan for the past few days – and I CAN THINK OF NOTHING BUT HER AND THIS ELECTION!!! YOUR MOM WILL UNDERSTAND AND WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM YOUR FRIENDS HERE AT TOD!!!! ON TO VICTORY!!!
LOL, Christi!! Please enjoy every one of these moments from now until victory on Tuesday night. The President is having a great time, let’s all have fun with him!!!
Hey TOD peeps!! I’m not sure if you guys had a chance to read this post by JaquelineOboomer(hope I spelled it correctly, if not I apologize) posted on the “Coming Up” thread. I didn’t see it on the previous thread and thought it should be brought over. It’s so cool that CanadaBarb met a fellow TODer!
“Hi, O’friends! Popping in to drop a message from “canadabarb4obama” from her cruise ship (from hell):
“Special news bulletin: Met Mrs. Sea (lovely AA lady from NY) when coming off elevator; we looked in each others eyes and at once clicked … she actually recognized my name from the blog!!!! Her hubby goes on as a lurker and pulls up important stuff for her to read! We only had about 7 minutes to chat and i ended up in tears; we held hands; how sweet it was…..please post on TOD for me”
Been calling Iowa again—little dots on the map—-dozens and dozens of towns I’ve never heard of, even tho I grew up in that state. Many not at home but all contacts were enthusiastic election day Obama voters—-all seem very aware of all that is on the line in this election. I did run into someone who knew my now deceased aunt and uncle and is friends with their grandson!—and an Obama voter—-“we’re all voting for Obama”, he said about his family. I think the only town that has not popped up yet on my calling list is the one where my mom and dad met, which was basically an intersection with a school house where she taught and a gas station/general store which my dad owned. Wasn’t it lucky that they liked each other? Their prospects were limited. 🙂 (both cute and nice and same Scandanavian last name—fate!)
We already have for profit natural disaster corporations – they’re called property and casualty insurance companies – and we all know how they work out.
This ties in perfectly with the way GOPs operate – privatize stuff so that their buddies can provide the services, so that they can funnel the jobs to them, so that the money ultimately ends up in their buds’ (and sometimes their own) pockets. Is Jeb positioning himself on this at this point because he foolishly things Mitt is going to win? Is this the price for his endorsement of Mitt? Is Mitt putting up some of the start-up cost? Does Jeb know something we don’t know about them trying to steal votes? Doesn’t matter anyways, because Romney-Ryan aren’t going to win, whatever they do.
Afternoon – I know this might be dated, but in case you haven’t seen this video, it’s about 7 min and 17 seconds, it’s a must watch video.
I’ve been feeling anxious and down about all the idiot haters, and watching this video really lifted me up. It’s a GREAT summary of where we came from and everything President Obama has done! It definitely made me energized!!
1?
Congrats Allison on #1!
Allison!
What a wink!
Someone gave President Obama a Red Bull!
POTUS plane has landed.
When I tried to log on the screen kept going blank. I thought my laptop was trying to die. I am so happy it was just a new tread.
Hahahaha….that shirt….nice.
Right with you. Love that T-shirt. I have got to get one of those. Where can I get one of those?
this should save the Mittanic:
Heckuva job, Mittens!
Talk about putting the nail in the coffin.
OMG, I thought you were joking! Oh my! This day has been full of lovelies!
It’s been a whole day of, “Is this snark?”
Here’s the newest LOL:

GW Bush is stumping for Romney, are you kidding? You must be talking about Bush 1, not GW.

Hey thanks Bobfr!….you’re right, he is having a good time!
I don’t know where he gets his energy…..it’s very impressive.
He truly gets all that energy from us, Christi!!
Let’s have a rocking good time as we re-elect him 🙂
Oh dear, Christi. 😀 Maybe you can give Mom a birthday ‘gift card’ for a January trip with you to the Inauguration?
I bet POTUS is happy to be in warm sunny Nevada
I LOVE IT when he says….”don’t Boo – VOTE!”
Haha I posted it at the same time as you Hope,….is it a real band?
That’s what I wanted to know. Who the heck is the Tucker Marshall band?!?!?!?
Who is the Marshall Tucker band? Never heard of them.
What happen to Meatloaf?
He’s scrambling to find a way to register to vote.
1970’s band….
BWD @theonlyadult
RT @AriBerman: Both Obama and Romney in Columbus on Monday. Obama with Jay-Z & Springsteen, Romney with The Marshall Tucker Band.

You guys believe THIS?!
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/01/1153902/-Jeb-Bush-is-set-to-lead-a-FOR-PROFIT-Natural-Disaster-Corporation
Yes, there’s money to be made! —-even with disasters. That’s the GOP’s whole deal.
Groan.
We already have for profit natural disaster corporations – they’re called property and casualty insurance companies – and we all know how they work out.
This is disgusting.
