The Obama Diary 
Hi y’all!
I’m sleepy.
Hey VC!
Hello there, you night owl you! Yes, I know it’s still early in your neck of the woods right now, but I noticed you were up late last night and early this morning. Are you going for a repeat tonight?
I can’t do a repeat tonight, because I’ve got meetings starting at 8am tomorrow morning, and I live 1.5 hours from work! So… it’ll be a relatively early night tonight. But, I did nap a bit in the morning,so…
Well, have a good rest if I don’t catch you before you sign off. I’m not here much longer myself as I’m really sleepy and was unable to nap during the day. My system doesn’t do sleep if it’s daylight. Heck, it rarely wants to sleep nighttime, except when I’m really, really tired.
Good night, VC!
Definitely won’t last long tonight, especially as I’m not sure I won’t have to work tomorrow.
Super fast VC!!
😯 Did *I* actually get a picture? For me? Aaaww, Ms Chips! I thought you had put me on the no-picture list! Woot! Doing the happy dance while sitting yoga-style in the middle of the bed.
Thanks, Chips. Ahem! ‘I am deeply grateful for the honour you have bestowed upon me in noticing my accomplishment. I will treasure this award, as it’s one of the few I’ve had in more than a month of Sundays. I’d also like to thank the members of TODville who helped in my success by stepping aside to leave me this unexpected path to victory. Thanks
Can hear lots but see nada.. hey guys!
As posted in the last thread, a livestream from Burma. Not a great connection:

Thank you Meta!
Thanks Meta. Reception is pretty awful, but at least they’re showing a still of soldiers & crew waiting on the tarmac.
Yeah, super glitchy but it’s all I can find at this point.
Same here Meta, tried a few other links and just seemed to find Burmese soap operas 😕
Not even sure I would call this a “livestream” but it’s better than nothing.
Wow, lots of loud sound. Maybe the the Eagle has landed?
Hey, that might be fun. What’s the link? 🙂
Thanks meta. Looks like they’re awaiting the arrival of AF1.
So, on tonight’s menu:
Steak with chimichurri sauce
Baked potatoes
Asparagus
And I’m on my 3rd Manhattan
It’s still a mystery to me why I used to love LL.
If you come to L.A., this awaits you.
I’m at your front door, let me in!
My house is open to all TODers!
Oooooooh, you might regret that open invitation! 😆
Only if it’s amk. His constant refrains of “wimmin/smh” would probably piss off wifey.
Oh crikey yeah: “Hello Mrs LL Wifey Unit.” Okay, let’s leave him in Casa LL pending.
I loooove asparagus.
POTUS is going to have to say something while on the road regarding this atrocity that is occurring right now in Gaza.
Good evening Chips & TOD! What a busy schedule for the Prez. I truly hope he’s enjoying himself.
I saw “Lincoln” today and I HIGHLY recommend it. It was absolutely phenomenal. Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, and so many other actors were all incredible. Spielberg is a treasure — nobody can touch him in telling a story. Being that I’m an Obot, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between Lincoln and Obama. The dealings with the House, the division of the country, the frailty of human nature, and the necessity of strong, visionary leadership — I can see why this President draws so much inspiration from Abe. It’s a must see.
Now, to catch up on what I’ve missed today….
Thanks PJ! Jovie and BWD saw the movie and also gave it rave reviews. BWD further said PBO came to mind several times during the movie.
That’s nice to hear, HF! I’m definitely gonna see it again. The dialogue was so beautiful and I’m sure I missed quite a few things. When Lincoln and/or his supporters were dealing with House members, I could hear low-key laughter in the audience as they connected the dots between the useless and cowardly of that day to the useless and cowardly of today. As we were leaving, I even overheard a gentleman (older, white) talk about how (paraphrasing) today’s ineffectual congresscritters should be ashamed of themselves. So I don’t think I was the only one thinking along those lines.
BTW, Daniel Day Lewis deserves every acting award ever invented for his masterful performance in this film….
Thanks for these details – I will probably try to see it at some point over the Thanksgiving holiday, but definitely before 2013!
AF1 landing!
are you watching meta’s link?
No,, BBC World
Can’t see it, but I hear a plane powering down.
It’s very stoppy, starty – I can get the pictures, but they keep freezing. Grr.
I can hear AF1 but not see a thing
AFI arrival live on Aljazeera English. Not sure how long they’ll be staying on though.
http://www.zahistation.com/watch-al-jazeera-english-live
Thanks! I was wondering if they’d pick it up.
Thanks a million Maubyandice!
You’re welcome Chips! Glad to be of assistance.
HUGE assistance, thanks again Maubyandice.
Cool. Split screen with interview of frm amb & AF1
the atlantic has done a superb job of laying out the issues in the israel-palestine conflict, in a project called ‘is peace possible’, a four part video report (using really helpful maps):

I cannot believe the President of the United States is making an historic trip to Myanmar and we are having to watch it on some barely patched slowstream from another nation. Mind-boggling.
I’m thinking the same thing meta. What a disgrace.
It’s such a momentous occasion and the American press can’t be bothered.
We have gossips pretending to be journalists.
I cannot believe the President of the United States is making an historic trip to Myanmar and we are having to watch it on some barely patched slowstream from another nation. Mind-boggling.
THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE!!!! Disgraceful.
It’s just beyond belief Isonprize. Apart from CNN, did anyone else show it??
I think the big guy in the dark suit with gray tie is Amb Derek Mitchell.
Also on Cnn tv.
Ha ha! I have 2 feeds going (DVB and Al Jazerra) and CNN on my TV. This is NUTS! 😀
cspan is showing marco rubio at a fundraiser. that is their idea of news!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!
Oooooff. Fundraiser for what, himself? UGH.
Ugh! Indeed.
thank you hopefruit! it’s appalling that this fine country has such a jaded, dishonest news system.
At a glance it doesn’t look like anyone has shared this yet, so here goes..
I’ll have to miss this. Can’t seem to get this stream to work well enough
Try: http://www.zahistation.com/watch-sky-news-live
PBO and Sec Clinton on the ground.
History!!
There he is!
The Red Cross raised 130 million Bucks in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
🙂
more evidence of media contempt for america–they don’t think we’d be interested in the president’s international endeavors.
Why are all the chefs greeting POTUS? Kidding! 🙂 Thanks for the link Chipsticks! http://www.zahistation.com/watch-al-jazeera-english-live
Handshaking done. Motorcade is on the move!
Thank you, al jazeera!!
Dudette, I’m in and out, but let’s just bet if it were any other president but PBO, it would be wall to wall coverage. I have had my TV on public broadcasting this evening….NOVA, and a series on the Dust Bowl by Ken Burns. Those other stations do not deserve nor get my attention. They are despicable and, let it be told…….RACIST. Flick ’em all.
Indeed – Al Jazeera was where I ended up. It’s a disgrace that Americans can’t even witness their own country making history!
The media here in the US sucks big time. Why do we have to watch history being made on the internet?
Because the Congress/FCC gave them the broadcast air waves for free and requires ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF THEM!
Damn the deregulatiing bastards. America keeps getting screwed. When will we learn?
On the one hand, yes, we HAVE to watch the internets. But, on the other hand, we CAN watch the internets. Bit by bit, the US MSM becomes more and more irrelevant.
They treat us the way China treats its citizens. The press that follows PBO are only there to harass him about BS, not to report on the real news that is the reason that they have a seat on AF1. This whole media fail is one of the reasons that so many U S citizens are dumb.
Did you guys get the survey from OFA, asking what we think they should focus on? Well it took a couple minutes to fill out but it’s awesome!! The last question asks you for your ideas about where or what you think should happen next and I basically said: when can we start donating again to push thru PBO’s agenda and when do we start to take back the house and increase democratic power on the federal, state and local levels? I also mentioned this site and talked about how if provides good info on PBO’s record, agenda, etc. I also mentioned how last year we all contacted our congress critters about the debt ceiling. Told them about all the awesome people who do social media and push message.
Yes, Lisa, have received it and you can imagine what I’ll be sharing with them 🙂
#FORWARD
yah I just got it right now.
GAH, this is crazy!! We may as well be listening through tin cans and string. ARGHHHHH.
seriously
I was just looking at the al jazeera feed (trying to see something on PBO) and saw something wing by about the French foreign minister meeting with Israeli officials to get them to stop firing. I’ll see if I find anything else.
Great! Thanks alice!
hmmm. Just found a byline on al jazeera when I googled it I got something from “Times of Israel” so I’ll withhold linking it until I see something from Al Jazeera or BBC.
Myanmar:)
thank you forus! just fix that little typo…. 🙂
Just a little “opps! Miramar is a Naval Air Station in CA:)
Just wondering… did we send any American journalists with, you know computers and cameras on PBO’s trip to Asia?
Watching the presser from Thailand now….WaPo reporter was there asking a question!
Yes we did. Check forus50’s tweet above. There is absolutely no excuse for this.
This is so frustrating!!!!!! This is historic and we can’t even see it!!! Some times I really hate the US media!!!!! What is wrong with this country. I am mad!!!!!
When you watch this…listen to the absolutely STUPID reporter from Bloomberg and the questions she asked! Around the 33:00 mark….US media is an embarrassment
DF – they do this in every country around the world – concentrate on domestic GOP talking points and ignore the reality of global issues – When PBO was in Australia the US media ONLY asked questions about issues back in the US – nothing about why he was here and the issues relevant to both countries. I think the President is made of steel in that his facial expressions do not change based on the stupidity of these questions. I would love it if he refused to have these idits on his trips & took some real reporters from provincial areas.
It’s SO annoying!
I’m sorry, I felt that this woman’s question was valid considering the crisis that is going on in Isreal and Gaza. And apparently PBO felt it was a legitimate question as well. He spent quite a bit of time answering and putting forth his idea about concerns of Americans.
Beautiful!
New post everyone:

**** Deleted **** No right wing hate rag links here PLEASE
“I always believe in Prayer”
Words of our President at the joint press conference in Thailand.
Dear God, thank you for hearing our prayers. Thank you for blessing and keeping our President safe while he travels. Thank you for the Al Jazeera feed. Thank you for the peace that is forth coming in Gaza and the cease firing because of your mercy and grace that You have bestowed us with a President who always believe in Prayer, communicating with You.
We believe that this assignment You have ordained will bear fruit of democracy for the people who eagerly seek and embrace it.
As You speak through him tomorrow give the people hope that they have been longing for, peace that they need, love that you have abundantly placed in our President that will overflow from each person there as it reaches us here.
As he returns home to his adoring family and friends to share a thankful dinner, strengthen him for the challenges that he must and will face in the days to come allow him to reflect on the many blessings that you have promised that have been supplied. The promise that You will never leave or forsake him because of his obedience to Your Word. You will supply his need to go through whatever You have purposed him to go through because of Your love for him and his desire to seek you in prayer. In Jesus name. Amen.
Sweet sleep my TOD family. His Heavenly Father GOT THIS!
I really wants to see the speech, I hope someone will show it.
