Our very good friend Fred is having major surgery tomorrow, she asked to say hello to you all, she sends her love, and said: “If you can, please say a prayer for me.”
We’ll all do just that Fred, that’s a promise.
You’re a warrior, you’ll get through this, we send you all our love and prayers.
The Obama Diary 
Should I……?
….show Amk what leaning on the door looks like?
In a word: NO. Do not show hin this…. You may face regret if you do….. 😆
Okay. Will take your advice …..and go back into my shell. 😉
It may not be enough….
I’ll be really, really quiet when he comes back. The out of sight, out of mind thing may just work, especially if someone (you?) draw his attention to the fact the three GOP stoogies are still disturbed. 🙄
😆
Oopsie! /whispering/ Pamela, I forgot I was supposed to be quiet when Amk returned.
Hope your surgery goes well. Peace, blessings and a speedy recovery to you Fred!

No surprise – to us …
““They remain in the same place: They expect taxes to go up on the wealthy and to protect Medicare and Medicaid benefits,” the attendee added. “They feel confident that they don’t have to compromise.”
White House officials also signaled in the meeting that they are going to insist that Republicans agree to resolve the need to raise the debt ceiling as part of the fiscal talks — and won’t abide a separate fight over it, attendees said. Also key: Attendees got the impression the White House does not view this looming debt ceiling battle in the same terms as the 2011 fight, where Republicans had the leverage.
“They don’t seem to have the same fear now,” the attendee said. “They intend to get this wrapped up in these negotiations, and don’t intend to have a separate fight. Their position is this needs to be resolved all at once.””

THIS! You go, President Obama!!!
Even though I am sick, I just placed my weekly calls to Corker and Alexander. Still have to call Duncan. Also called a fairly long list of Ds — message to them: Stay strong, support Harry Reid and pass new filibuster rules.
Thank You tnmtngirl…and i hope you are feeling better soon….
thank you for reminding us …what we can do…here on the ground,,,
I am in PA….
i have heard radio spots being run by Unions urging us to call and demand that our Congressmen pass the Middle Class Tax cuts….
altho PA went for the President by 11 points…because of gerrymandering most of the Congressmen that were elected were GOP…so we have our work cut out for us..but we have to remind those Repub voters that their taxes will go up too….
here is a link from WiW …to get you started…

[Foxistan shows us yet another effer! Bob shines a light]:
129 Bangladeshis were recently killed after a fire tore through a factory that crafted garments for Wal-Mart. And to most people this would be a horrible thought, but to Fox Business host Charles Payne, these are just the growing pains of capitalism.
[From Payne]: “Don’t think that the people in Bangladesh who perished didn’t want or need those jobs, as well. I know we like to victimize everyone in this country, particularly when it comes to for-profit motivation, which is being assaulted. But, you know, it is a tragedy but I think it is a stretch, an amazing stretch, to sort of try to pin this on Walmart. […]
“Walmart had its problems and they have come a long way and I think they will continue to do well and improve in any area that they can. I’m not here as an apologist for Wal-Mart, but I am here as something of a spokesperson for capitalism and the American dream and I think for a lot of people this is a step in the right direction.”
[I didn’t want to link the video here, but you can see it here]: http://bobcesca.com/blog-archives/2012/11/worst-person-in-the-world-43.html
‘a step in the right direction’ ????!!!???
wal mart squeezed its suppliers, which squeezed its manufacturers, which squeezed its workers– squeezing profits out at each step, and ultimately squeezing the very life out of the communities of people who have no other job options.
this is so disgusting i can hardly bear it. don’t hang it on walmart, or on bain capital, or on the koch brothers–not their fault if people are so desperately poor, and jobs are so degrading and dehumanizing, that their only option is to risk their life for a few pennies a day.
Bonsoir très chers amis.que Dieu lui donne la force de guérir et réussir cette opération et revenir à sa sa famille et aux gens qu ils l aiment sain et sauf.
Bonsoir, Nabila, et merci pour vos mots d’encouragement.
[heart] Fred [heart] Be well, warrior woman…you will overcome!!!!!!!!
Pretty sure PBO would welcome candles for Fred on his mantlepiece! Healing thoughts all around you, Fred. Blessings and Light. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=PBO
Candles lit, Pamela – one for Fred and one for PBO. Thanks for posting the link.
Hi Fred, I send my love and my prayers…
I have been yelling about ALEC since the 08 election. you can see their dirty work in many states. Please be sure that you read
this memo and pass it on to everyone you know. They are even worse then grover.
Goood Day to all you O folks! Wassup on this great getting up day in TOD town? Soooo, Dr. Rice was in the hot seat today, or so McPruneToon and the Grahamcracker thought. You’d think they’d know by now that PBO doesn’t surround himself with dummies. He is a master tactician and I can’t for the life of me don’t know why that hasn’t sunk in yet. Here we have Dr. Rice offering to meet with the very same people who are dissing her credentials and qualifications…..hellooooo. They agree to meet, she admits to being wrong (so they say), yet they still continue to dis her. They have been set up to commit the biggest PR fail, since the backwards B incident. The more they talk, the more it’s apparent that they are after yet another AA and female in PBO’s cabinet. I hope they continue with their caveman rantings right up til PBO nominates someone for SOS. Nothing like trying to win back the independents in time for the 2014 mid-term elections.
Here’s to our very own TODdy Fred, who will have a great outcome post surgery. May your recuperation be swift and comfortable.
I know! I know! Cookemom, it hasn’t sunk in because THEY ARE DUMMIES! Hee!
It hasn’t sunk in because they are dyed in the wool bigots and it’s impossible for them to believe that a Black man could actually be smarter than they are…which makes them Big Dummies! I love watching them get played!
After all the many times I’ve seen this picture it’s just clicked that PBO is out there in all that water, all by himself, and there are no (pool) walls of protection! And where is his life jacket, I ask you? In my mind, this is as bad as him running down those plane steps! Someone should (like one of those ‘PBO shoulds’) talk to the president about taking these risks. 😉 😉 BTW: You wouldn’t catch me in that little itty-bitty excuse for a kayak or whatever it is if you gave me Mitt’s $10 000 check and it was certified!
heh! He shows no fear. However, someone was close enough to take the picture.
Or was ‘smart enough’, Sabreen, to stay far away and use telephoto lens. 😉
all the best to you, fred! you are surrounded by loving prayers and positive light! as you prepare for your surgery, you will feel this embrace–and the moment your re-open your eyes, the happy faces of your tod friends will greet you. healing and strengthening and renewal are ahead!
Fred, Good thoughts sent your way…
Harry Reid puts his finger on the ‘nuclear option’ button
By Greg Sargent
So here’s today’s update in the slow, inexorable march towards filibuster reform: Democrats took yet another step in the direction of changing the rules by a simple majority vote — i.e., exercising the dreaded “nuclear option.”
For the second straight day, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell traded sharp barbs on the Senate floor over what now looks to be inevitable. The key to today’s exchange was that it focused specifically on the nuclear option. Reid lambasted McConnell for a newly unearthed quote from 2005 in which McConnell endorsed — in principle — the right to change the rules by a simple majority vote; McConnell hit back by saying Republicans ultimately decided against taking the plunge.
The tit-for-tat aside, what really matters is that Reid stepped way out on a limb in the direction of exercising that “nuclear option.”
[…] Either way, what happened today is that Reid, in effect, put his finger on the nuke button. It’s hard to see how he pulls back now.

Durbin: Don’t include entitlement reform in short-term fiscal deal
Alexander Bolton
11/27/12 12:48 PM ET
Durbin also said he believed Obama would not agree to a short-term deal that does not raise the debt ceiling.…
-/
That’s good the President figured it out, and says that shirt term deal must include dbt ceiling hike.
Praying for you, Fred. Get well soon! God bless.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Fred. May your surgery be a success and your recovery speedy and complete. Blessings.
[The Endgame! From this morning’s meeting at WH]:
Indeed, one person at the meeting — which included people from the AFLCIO, AFSCME, SEIU, MoveOn and others — came away convinced that the White House would ultimately prove willing to go over the fiscal cliff if necessary, rather than give ground on core demands, though this is not by any means a desired option and isn’t being discussed as a strategic possibility.
The attendee tells me the White House is cool to the idea of going over the cliff, but added: “Would they if it’s between that and compromising their core principles? I was left with the impression that they would.”
“They remain in the same place: They expect taxes to go up on the wealthy and to protect Medicare and Medicaid benefits,” the attendee added. “They feel confident that they don’t have to compromise.”

“Grover Norquist’s Budget Is Largely Financed by Just Two Billionaire-Backed Nonprofits”
Grover Norquist’s iron grip over much of the Republican Party is somewhat puzzling. Why should Senators and other lawmakers listen to a guy caught laundering money for Jack Abramoff?
The disclosures show that only two billionaire-backed groups have provided over 66 percent of Norquist’s funding:
• The Center to Protect Patients Rights donated $4,189,000 to Americans for Tax Reform in 2010, 34 percent of the group’s budget that year.
• Crossroads GPS donated $4,000,000 to Americans for Tax Reform in 2010, 32.46 percent of the group’s budget that year.”

Am imagining that numerous excellent game design and programmers would be willing to assist OFA to make ‘participatory democracy’ in the 21st Century a whole bunch of fun, as well as a highly effective force for legislative and other support of the President and Congressional Dems 🙂
Those that weren’t gobbled up by Google! 🙂
Dear Fred, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I’m lighting a candle for you in my heart, fred! All the best during and after your surgery.
Let me join you, Jacqueline.
Fred, I’m wishing for you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!
[On the debt ceiling]:
“I think honestly it’s going to be closer to $4 trillion when it’s all said and done, and I also think that the President isn’t going to sign off on any agreement that doesn’t include some certainty as to budgets, appropriations, dealing with our debt ceiling,” said Senate Dem Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) after a policy speech at the liberal Center for American Progress. “We’re not going to find ourselves at some big party celebrating in February and then turn around in March and have another doomsday scenario with the debt ceiling. We’ve got to get this done as one big package.”
It’s not just Durbin. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) also said the debt ceiling must be included in any deal, and White House officials told representatives of major unions and progressive groups this morning that President Obama will also insist on a debt-limit increase as part of the fiscal talks — and will not accept a separate fight on just this issue.
http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/11/27/15488741-dems-to-avoid-2010-misstep-on-debt-ceiling?lite
Fred, I’m sending up prayers for your successful surgery and speedy recovery.
[Moves, musical chairs, & exits per PBO FP team]:
In the likely to move camp:
Deputy Secretary of State William Burns may be nominated to succeed Rice as US ambassador to the UN, officials said.
Deputy Secretary of State Tom Nides is being mulled for a White House job, possibly White House chief of staff, which can put his knowledge of budgets to work, as well as his relationship with Congress and Wall Street.
NSC economics senior advisor Michael Froman is likely to move, possibly to become US Trade Rep.
Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Poneman is also likely to move, possibly for a White House/NSC job, or US Trade Rep.
Vice President Biden’s national security advisor Antony Blinken is likely to get a promotion, perhaps to deputy secretary of state.

Idaho Lawmaker Offers Romney One More Chance
Idaho Statesman: “A state senator from north-central Idaho is touting a scheme that’s been circulating on tea party blogs, calling for states that supported Mitt Romney to refuse to participate in the Electoral College in a move backers believe would change the election result.”

Why does this media keep picking on Susan Rice, this is getting ridiculous! Does the media have nothing left in their job? They keep hammering away on this bullshit? Stupid cable news. I really have had enough of these idiots.
Sorry, I had to vent this bs.

Positive thoughts for Fred—–and hope for a best possible outcome and a quick recovery.
[From Juanita Jean]:
God, I’m Not Telling You What To Do, But Holy Crap …
When I go to that great styling school in the sky, I want to ask God a question and it is this: Why did you not strike down John Cornyn with a bolt of lightning when he accused someone else of abuse of power?
Hell, John Cornyn invented abuse of power.
John Cornyn is accusing Harry Reid and the Democrats of abuse of power for wanting to reform the filibuster, which John Cornyn has used for 4 years to abuse his power. The very least that ought to happen to Cornyn is that he gets dizzy and vomits from all that damn spinning.

President Obama welcomed Mexico’s president-elect, Enrique Peña Nieto, to the White House on Tuesday for the first meeting in what both leaders said they hope will be a productive relationship.
“We meet early with the president of Mexico because it represents the close relationship between the U.S. and Mexico,” Obama said in the Oval Office as he met with Peña Nieto, whose inauguration is on Saturday.
Obama praised the Mexican leader’s “ambitious reform agenda” and said he looks forward to working together on border security and trade, among other issues.
Vice President Joe Biden will be leading the U.S. delegation to the inauguration, something Obama stressed is a sign of how critical the relationship with Mexico is. “We only send the vice president to inaugurations when the country is really at the top of the list in importance to us,” he said.
Peña Nieto told Obama he hopes to work together to create jobs and to finalize the process for Mexico to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The start of his term just as Obama begins his second term is “a great opportunity for us to have a greater link of brotherhood, of sisterhood, of collaboration,” Peña Nieto said.
The Mexican president-elect also backed Obama’s efforts at immigration reform. “We fully support your proposal,” he said. “We want to contribute. We really want to participate with you, we want to contribute towards the accomplishment … so we can participate in the betterment, in the well-being of so many millions of people who live in your country.”
Peña Nieto also invited Obama to return to Mexico — he was last there in June for the G20 Summit in Los Cabos. Obama said he looks for “any excuse to go to Mexico, I’m always game.”
And, he added, “In fact, I’m jealous of Joe Biden.”

FRED!!!
Blessings. Love. Light. All will be well. And you’ll probably have more fun with your recovery/meds, and people loving you, taking care of you, even from afar, than all of us combined – since we have to worry about you while it’s going on, and have no access to the morphine drip – if you get one.
I remember, during a recovery (since I literally broke my ass while dancing-seriously-I fell out of a flying split-badly….) that Meerkat Marathon was on A&E on my hospital TV….. and I’d fall asleep into my morphine dreams, and wake up at the very same place in the program 3 hours later, since they repeat everything for the Pacific Time Zone…. it was awesome-I never missed any part of it. It was like MAGIC! 😀 😀 😀
You live a very interesting life, Tally… 🙂
Tell that to my broken ass. 😉 The adventures of dancing…. and fucking up what was normally a safe dance leap (when done correctly), on hard floor, with leather shoes that turned the floor into freshly zamboni’d ice….. I went down fast and hard, the head of my femur went CRACK, I got up full of adrenaline and finished, then I couldn’t sit on the left side of my ass for 6 months. 😀 wheeeeeee
Ouch! I felt every word in that story – I hope you’re sitting comfortably now? 🙂
It’s ALL GOOD now. Modern medicine is INSANE!
Good to hear!
My prayers have been sent for you, Fred. I will continue to pray for you.
anybody feeling oldish today? check this lady out–
Get well soon Fred! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Be well and get better soon Fred.
With lots of thoughts and prayers to you, always.
Take care.
Fred,
Offering you this prayer for protection from the Unity Church.
The light of God surrounds us.
The love of God enfolds us.
The power of God protects us.
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is and all is well.
Love to you

Right?? And of course the vast majority of all the election day rejected “provisional” ballots now being counted were from Dem voters. Asshole Ohio SoS. We need to find the best Dem candidate in the entire US and if he/she doesn’t now live in Ohio, move there and run to get this Jon Husted criminal out of a job in 2014.
