W-e-e-ll, we can’t be picking on him ALL the time; he’ll get shy and possibly depressed…. and probably immune! /in exasperation/ I shouldn’t be telling you this, Chips! You ought to know the occasional bit of niceness will keep him off-guard…….then ……. Zap!**
Chips, my dear, you are such a sweetheart! Thanks for giving me this timely new thread so that I don’t have to struggle my way through all FOUR threads I missed today! I can just start unwrapping this gift along with everyone else, AND what a gift it is too! Now I know you really love me. 😉
I tried too, VC, but then found I missed the opening on this one by over half an hour, and now I am losing the ground game… But I went looking for you, to say Hey! Goodnight, everyone, sweet dreams TOD. {{{{{{Chipsticks}}}}}} I love our President and First Lady so much, I think I will cry for a while, from sheer joy and happiness of what they are sacrificing to be there for us! My word. They are so beautiful to me! 🙂
The more times one watches Inception, the more it blows one’s mind. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn’t seen it. There is nothing wrong with the movie. NOTHING. The plot is insanely awesome, the actors are brilliant, the dialogue is spot on, the visuals, graphics, images, fight sequences, dream sequences, are just blow your brains out A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I know Christopher Nolan always delivers top-notch movies like Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight rises; but he tore the roof down with Inception. I want a day in his mind and Tim Burton’s mind.
Has anyone else noticed that the media are trying to imbue Kelly Ayotte with some kind of influence and staying power, just as they did with the Palin, despite all evidence to the contrary? Looks like they’re going to try and set her up to be somebody significant – maybe with an eye towards 2016 (when she’s up for re-election), regardless of the fact that the only woman holding a leadership position the Republican party is a glorified administrative assistant (no offense intended to administrative assistants – but only highlighting that all operational committee chairs of consequence are being held by white men)? Kelly Ayotte should be a laughing stock by now after joining the two stooges in their unfounded and embarrassing witch hunt against Ambassador Rice. Instead – I see headlines calling her an “influential new voice” for the GOP. Back down the rabbit hole, I guess…
Up until becoming the third member of the three stooges I had never heard of Kelly Ayotte. Let’s remember this is the same stupid ass media who did all they could to convince us that Mitt Romney had a real chance of winning the election. Including of convincing people that Mitt won that first debate. Ayotte will regret he decision to go after Amb. Rice.
Palin regretted talking to the media (fox news excluded and not real media) – Kelly Ayotte will discover the same – they never regret what they say – but they do regret saying it. Dumb is recorded – it doesn’t disappear.
No, think another NH Senator the President tapped for Commerce?
Apparently, he wants that seat, and he loses nothing by putting a Republican in a National security spot. Keeps her near Him and under his Purview.
The only Senator I know tapped for Commerce was Judd Gregg. I can’t imagine that the President wants anymore to do with him, and Kelly Ayotte doesn’t pose any actual issue for President Obama other than being a pain in the butt, and a darling for the media.Given the recent voting results in New Hampshire, she doesn’t have much time left in her political career in NH – her only other option is to try and go national. And her recent dalliance with McCain and Graham makes her look stupid, but crazy enough to keep the media entertained..
A dam joke which is not funny. Is jovie141 saying Ayotte is on a short list to be head of the CIA, list up…..I DON’T BELIEVE IT. There are many more qualified people around than that Ayotte.
jovie141, I could be wrong and if I am I will surely admit it, but I don’t believe Kelly Ayotte will be head of the CIA. No way. Remember there were some media folks telling us that Romney could win the election. Let me see, how did that turn out?
His name is Chester See. When Chips first posted the video, he left a comment that he was happy for his video to be used for this video of President Obama – so I’m a forever fan!
Oh, Chips, every second of that was just dreamy. And yet there was still time for a chuckle seeing the other two guys on their elevator trying to divert their eyes. Thanks!
I was watching Ed show Friday and he was showing Bo Christmas video, but then he made a big mistake he showed Barney video, you know G.W’s dog. He can’t compare to Bo. No way, no how. Our Bo could take the Oscar from Lassie.
Bo is a ham and the camera loves him. He’s just delicious in every way. He always looks perfectly groomed. I can’t help but think of Teddy when I see Bo. That was such a sweet gift for the girls. You just know they are crazy about him.
I happened to watch some of it on TV and I wondered where Tally was sitting. I know she is so happy. I have never been a soccer fan except when the boys were young. It is fun to follow it thru the eyes of the TOD faithful.
President Obama is seeking an Aug. 1 deadline for overhauling the tax code and making changes to expensive federal health programs, the final pieces of what the administration conceives as a far-reaching plan to rein in the national debt, senior administration officials said Friday.
The proposed deadline was included in a plan Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner delivered to Capitol Hill on Thursday as Obama’s opening bid in talks with congressional Republicans to avert the year-end “fiscal cliff.”
That plan generally mirrors previous deficit-reduction plans Obama has submitted to Congress. In all, it would reduce borrowing over the next decade by $4.5 trillion, officials said. However, Obama is proposing to dedicate about $200 billion of those savings to new measures to boost the sluggish economy, including additional unemployment benefits and extension of a temporary payroll tax cut for most workers.
Fiscal 2014 budget, jovie. The President is playing them in so many dimensions, at once, those who are challenged with even basic arithmetic and calendaring are going to be challenged beyond anything that has ever happened to them in their entire life.
In more succinct terms, the mofo’s heads will be spinning and they finally have to get off their lazy asses and do some work. PBO is a whirlwind that is coming for them.
Music vid of Pbo and Flotus is awesome. I just cannot get over how much I love them as a couple. I have never seen so much love between a President and his wife, the First Lady. It is a thing of beauty to behold. Please more vids like this. I love them.
I told my 25 year old daughter…when I see a man look at her like our President looks at Michelle…well then I will know he is the one.
The way his face lights up, relaxes and feels safe in the eyes/arms of his love. You can’t fake that.
Completely off topic: I cannot wait for “Les Miserables” this Christmas. I just think this is going to be an EPIC masterpiece. I lived in London in the early 90’s, and I used to walk through Piccadilly Circus every day to get to work and see the billboard for Les Miserables, and I kicked myself many years later that I never tried to go and see it. And the movie just looks like it is going to surpass every expectation in authenticity and talent. I just can’t wait!
It’s likely to be a masterpiece, theo, and I so regret you weren’t able to see it in those London years of the early 90’s. But, you have NOW!! Go for it!!
Greetings TODville! Hello to our Blog Mistress Chips! You are simply amazing! I add my thanks to the multitude of thanks constantly expressed in this community of your creation. Great golden oldies! I’ve always enjoyed viewing them. Just delurking to add one of my favorites to the mix. I hope this works: http://youtu.be/RPYMaF2vAmg
Fixed it for you VC! Not sure why it didn’t work first time, but there were a few spaces in the line before the YouTube url – so that might have been it!
Don’t thank me, lmrj. It didn’t work for me (silly chips-partisan video)! By the time I’m un-addicted to TOD, I’m sure I’ll be far more technologically adept. 🙄
I’m up early on Sunday watching all of these old videos plus the one of Bo and the Christmas trees – I’ve watched that like 30 billion times 😀 I also saw for the first time the President and the Hovercraft. I loved that and at the end he asked if they had a rocket launcher….too funny
That’s the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen! made me cry. FLOTUS is the luckiest woman in the world to have that man’s love. She’s the only woman in the world I would ever want to trade places with.
Bruce Bartlett is killing it on Up With Chris. He was Reagan’s budget guy and has been advocating for a while about raising taxes on the wealthy. He gets pissed at republicans who pretend that Reagan never raised taxes eleven times. He is taking on Veronique de Rugy’s GOP BS and lobbing it right back at her. It is must see TV.
She was spinning nonsense about how raising taxes on the wealthy will screw the economy and Bartlett jumped in and told her “Your ideas are so goddamn dogmatic!!!” The universe froze for five seconds. 😀
Tim Geithner does a nice job in interviews, a very loyal servant of this President. Personally, I think he is a bit to close to the Banks, but that is part of the mandate if Sec of Treasury.
So, he is alright in my Book, because he is very reasonable.
Then Why do the Emoprogs hate Him so?
Obama White House.gov
He’s breached 47.35% 🙂
PBO 65,285,547 #Mitt47 60,674,072 PBO 50.93% #Mitt47 47.33%
Margin 4,611,472 (we’ve got a real shot at >5M!!)
Wonder if he’ll hit 47.10 😀 😀

Congrats, Bob! As young people would say you definitely rock!
Now that’s a compliment!!! Thanks nath. Very much appreciate all your insights and support!
Good- O Lootenant. Real nice vid too.
Thanks sailor, and thank you, again, for your video gift to all of us and to the First Family!
I think you, Chips, and all our TOD friends will like the graphic in that tweet, above, btw 🙂
#FORWARD

It sure is, Chips – for 4+ more years!!!!
Thank you!!
Yes indeed!
I love oldies
Well done, Bobfr & VitaminL.
Thank you VC, and, as promised, I was on my way back to the earlier thread but you appeared here, all on your own 🙂
😀 You remembered? Aaaawww! {{Bobfr}} [Mrs, Bobfr will understand, I;m sure.]
😀 😀
Thanks! I love my Re-elected President yes.I. do!
I love your re-elected President for sure, me too!
Ah crikey VC, PLEEEEEASE stop being nice to Amk 🙄
😀 😀 😀 😀
W-e-e-ll, we can’t be picking on him ALL the time; he’ll get shy and possibly depressed…. and probably immune! /in exasperation/ I shouldn’t be telling you this, Chips! You ought to know the occasional bit of niceness will keep him off-guard…….then ……. Zap!**
Evah heard of zombies?
You called ???
Whatever happened to outta sight, outta mind?
Works sometimes, not all the time.
😉
Will never tire of viewing that video, Chips! Thank you!!!
It’s been a while Bob, reckoned late-Saturday was a good time to dust it down 🙂
Perfection … will be thinking about as I start to prepare dinner, soon 🙂
How about another oldie, Hey! Sure Amk & Yardam would like it. My all-time favorite! Also to celebrate Tally’s win.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
Chips, my dear, you are such a sweetheart! Thanks for giving me this timely new thread so that I don’t have to struggle my way through all FOUR threads I missed today! I can just start unwrapping this gift along with everyone else, AND what a gift it is too! Now I know you really love me. 😉
“…. so that I don’t have to struggle my way through all FOUR threads I missed today”
You slacker!!!!
Yep! 😆
I tried too, VC, but then found I missed the opening on this one by over half an hour, and now I am losing the ground game… But I went looking for you, to say Hey! Goodnight, everyone, sweet dreams TOD. {{{{{{Chipsticks}}}}}} I love our President and First Lady so much, I think I will cry for a while, from sheer joy and happiness of what they are sacrificing to be there for us! My word. They are so beautiful to me! 🙂
I love both of them, equally. Might cry myself over it!
Sweet dreams, Pamela. I’ll be following very soon as I’m actually really tired.

Have no fear..those MSM endeavors usually backfire. They tried that with Rick Perry last year. Where is Rick now?
Thanks for the reassurance. I just can’t live through another Palin debacle.
Yes, theo, have noticed and nearly choked with laughter. The #NEWSTAINERS are a source of cheap humor, nothing else.
#FORWARD

Let’s remember this is the same stupid ass media who did all they could to convince us that Mitt Romney had a real chance of winning the election.

Nah. They never seem to regret a thing. But she should. It’s not appealing to be known as McCain’s puppet.
Palin regretted talking to the media (fox news excluded and not real media) – Kelly Ayotte will discover the same – they never regret what they say – but they do regret saying it. Dumb is recorded – it doesn’t disappear.
*Dumb is recorded* – yes, over and over again. But they are too dumb to understand that, of course.
Supposedly, She is on the short list for CIA.
Go figure?
Kelly Ayotte for CIA? That surely has to be a joke.
No, think another NH Senator the President tapped for Commerce?
Apparently, he wants that seat, and he loses nothing by putting a Republican in a National security spot. Keeps her near Him and under his Purview.
The only Senator I know tapped for Commerce was Judd Gregg. I can’t imagine that the President wants anymore to do with him, and Kelly Ayotte doesn’t pose any actual issue for President Obama other than being a pain in the butt, and a darling for the media.Given the recent voting results in New Hampshire, she doesn’t have much time left in her political career in NH – her only other option is to try and go national. And her recent dalliance with McCain and Graham makes her look stupid, but crazy enough to keep the media entertained..
A dam joke which is not funny. Is jovie141 saying Ayotte is on a short list to be head of the CIA, list up…..I DON’T BELIEVE IT. There are many more qualified people around than that Ayotte.
Even a rock would be more qualified that Ayotte. I wouldn’t get too worried over this one.
Well, this guy seems to think it might happen-
http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/11/29/kelly_ayotte_for_cia_director.html
Maybe you should tweet him?
You’re linking to Dave Weigel for chrissakes Jovie…
Dave Weigel…
Tweeting someone who can come up with such a ridiculous theory is a waste of any thinking person’s time.
Than that Ayotte witch.
jovie141, I could be wrong and if I am I will surely admit it, but I don’t believe Kelly Ayotte will be head of the CIA. No way. Remember there were some media folks telling us that Romney could win the election. Let me see, how did that turn out?
Chipsticks, thank you for that goldie oldie, I have not seen it in long while.
Anniebella – this oldie video is one of my favorites. I love it!
Mines too theo67. I love that song. Anyone know the name of the guy singing it.
His name is Chester See. When Chips first posted the video, he left a comment that he was happy for his video to be used for this video of President Obama – so I’m a forever fan!
Oh, Chips, every second of that was just dreamy. And yet there was still time for a chuckle seeing the other two guys on their elevator trying to divert their eyes. Thanks!
Any doubt about the leverage PBO and Leader Pelosi have ….
Keep it in his face, dear friends, unrelentingly ….
bbl … off to the kitchen … 😉
Hey Chips. I almost forgot about that video. It’s so sweet. I’ve probably watched it a million times.
Congratulations Bobfr on First!
Chipsticks – that video just transports me back to THAT DAY and I cry all over again
Remember we have the upcoming 2013 Inaugural Balls to watch!
I know jacquelineoboomer, but the FIRST ONE will always have a special place in my heart and mind. And I am looking forward to the SECOND ONE 🙂
Nothing will top the first ones, you are right. Love how they have to go from site to site, and dance briefly at each Inaugural Ball.
I know the world is waiting to see what FLOTUS will be wearing on Inauguration Day.
Thank you, Gail! & love that video!!!
BO OBAMA – THE PAWS THAT REFRESHES (This dog is so darn cute. This video just makes me melt.)
Bo Inspects the 2012 White House Holiday Decorations (850,417 views)
Cute. Tweeted.
Ladyhawke, you are not alone, the video is cute. Bo is so precious.
I was watching Ed show Friday and he was showing Bo Christmas video, but then he made a big mistake he showed Barney video, you know G.W’s dog. He can’t compare to Bo. No way, no how. Our Bo could take the Oscar from Lassie.
He’s all dressed up in his fine tux. These Obamas. Always dressed for the occasion.
Remember when Bo was walking up the steps to Air Force One, then he stop and look back, I almost expected him to wave by by like POTUS does.
Bo is a ham and the camera loves him. He’s just delicious in every way. He always looks perfectly groomed. I can’t help but think of Teddy when I see Bo. That was such a sweet gift for the girls. You just know they are crazy about him.
Oh Chips, these video’s bring tears to my eyes. Such love there. We are so blessed. Thank you. These have been perfect for a Saturday night.
Beautiful. Sigh. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
CONGRATULATIONS L.A. GALAXY….I know our lovely Tally was doing cartwheels all the way home!

Pardon me…. *golden oldie*… singular, not plural. Always a mistake. That’s why I’m on this site daily, but I lurk most of the time. 😀
Ignore me lmrj, I’m experimenting to see if your link will open up’ if I fiddle with the ending letters. It probably won’t, but at least I’ll know..
Same as your first attempt. O well. 😦
Fixed it for you VC! Not sure why it didn’t work first time, but there were a few spaces in the line before the YouTube url – so that might have been it!
Aaah! Thanks, CC! Step by SLOW step for some of us techie-challenged types whose (weak) will to learn definitely stands in the way.
