Michelle is, obviously, hot. But nerd Barack speaks to my soul.
And speaking of things nerdy (and this one’s for you too, Dudette), Michael Dorn, aka Worf, son of Mogh, is in talks for a new Star Trek series where Worf is the main character! Squee!!
I’m so glad our POTUS is nerdy: read: smart, curious, interested in everything, enjoys the moment, explores new ideas….that’s what he is and does. I think I like his curiousity the most……he wants to KNOW everything, nothing is boring to him, because HE is interested in everything…..people, ideas, new inventions, kids, education, theories, science, math, literature…..I learned on Michael Lewis’ video that he tried to be a fiction writer at one time….history, Lincoln, FDR, TR, music, pie!!! You get the idea. Life is a revolving platter of goodies for him. I find curiousity incredibly attractive and cool.
Like LL and others, to me “nerdy” is a positive quality. My daughter says we are a family of nerds, and she is right. Where would we be without nerds? For one thing, my husband would not have the wonderful ICD implanted in his chest right now, so I am TOTALLY thankful for nerds.
I’m brining the Stage 5 over here, so you can FINISH the program! REALLY YOU SIMPLY MUST FINISH!
=======================================================
THERAPY STAGE 5:
This one is not as long, but essential to completion of your programming! 8 1/2 minutes of pure love courtesy of our awesome POTUS, and FLOTUS and some very lucky children! By the time you finish this one, the Rethug virus should be completely gone. Of course, there’s no guarantee that you won’t be infected again at some point in the future, but we can develop a more stringent program if required.
I like what the author say about the uploaded video, so I’m including it here.

The Obamas – You Can’t Fake That!
Published on Aug 30, 2012 by Debra Kerr-Hunter
“A depiction of the Obamas with Our Greatest Resource – Our Children. No Copyright infringement is intended with the use of these songs. This video was not created for monetary gain.
How this video came about. I started in early 2009 to see lots of pictures all over the Internet of the Obamas with kids. They seem to really enjoy talking to, and connecting to children. They seemed patient, attentive, and loving in the photos I saw. A couple weeks ago I did a search to see how many pictures there were. Oh My Goodness!! In order to make this video short enough to be palatable to the average viewer, heeding my husband, Christopher’s advice, I whittled down the first video removing 65 photos that I downloaded. There are an incredible amount of photos of this President and First Lady with kids. I hope you enjoy seeing a positive view of our First Family. Please feel free to share. I am so appreciative of the positive response.”
So, Dudette, in case you missed my post to Chips, apparently Michael Dorn is in talks for a new Star Trek series where Worf is the main character. Squee!!!!!
Star Trek: The Next Generation star Michael Dorn is developing a new spin-off sci-fi TV series about his Klingon character Captain Worf.
Dorn appeared as the Starfleet officer on The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and now he’s keen to return in a new show.
The actor tells TrekNews.net, “I had come up with the idea because I love the character and I think he’s a character that hasn’t been fully developed and hasn’t been fully realised.
Look I don’t know what you lot are on about, Enterprise was good, especially the last 3 seasons. It will be interesting to see what Michael Dorn in his Character as Worf will do in this reported spin off! I cannot believe I actually de-lurked to comment on Star Trek! Oh well what can I say.. A believer it is that I am. Kapla!
Dudette, everyone .. this comment on the video totally melted me, and so wish that PBO saw it!!!!

இڿڰۣ-ڰۣ—This is a lovely melody that I can relate to in so many ways. You are very talented You have an amazing talent! at both playing, composing and finding the right pictures to make a lovely presentation of the Obamas with the children.. “So real”
fantastic shots!! Bought tears to my eyes..I really love Our POTUS..May God Bless him and his family..And thank you so much for sharing this..Thank you!!
Wow this is a gem. I’m laughing my aSS OFF! Funniest part..”They drove the car into a ditch, make it hard to get out and now they want the keys back…NO!” Lol
Hey Chips, can you post some of the old music videos, like Hey, the trip to brazil, and some of the other videos with pics of PBO in the WH or out on meeting people? There’s an old one that was kinda December/Jan and there’s one pic in the vid of PBO in his chair and another pic of him , pulling back a curtain to peek out the window. I keep going to the music video sections of the site but these vids arent showing. I’m in a sentimental kind of mood lately. Have been since the re-election. About the only vid I’ve been able to watch is Adele’s (I think it’s Adele’s ‘winds of change’ vid) 😦
Just a reminder, I know you’re busy and all, but if you could find time to redo the “Sing” video (with the music of that band that had the banjo?), I would be one happy camper.
Hi Lisa. Thanks dudette9t9. I always love your choices of music. Music brings life and joy to my heart. I was a little away from the sweetness of my space today. A little business to take care of with about trying to take my ID. Not to worry, I have the best in the world to take care of me.
The children around POTUS and FLOTUS always make me teary. It is a sweet moment always. These are the most precious people we will ever have the honor and joy of having as our POTUS and FLOTUS, at least in my lifetime. Trust me, they are really who and what we see daily. Honest, open and loving human beings.
I want to whisper a loving (((((((((((((( Thinking and praying for you Fred))))))))))))) Rest and know that I am still praying for goodness to continue to come into your space.
Goodnight my angel, Chips and thank you so much for this beautiful space, Chips. You bring so much joy and love in our TOD Family. HZ
Thank you lovely HZ! I hope everything goes okay with your ID business. That’s no fun — I’ve had a couple of friends have that happen to them. I hope the perpetrators are apprehended quickly and dealt with most handily.
I couldn’t agree with you more about POTUS & FLOTUS with kids. The two of them just radiate love and the kids respond to it.
Adding my love and prayers to yours for our dear Fred. Rest well. Tip: Sponge baths while you’re in hospital can be fun! 🙂
Chips, was stricken by a Rethug virus earlier today, so these last couple of videos were part of her rehabilitation. Luckily we all got to participate in the intervention. I just hope it holds for a while. 🙂
LL, I want to express my deep gratitude to you for writing such a wonderful article last week. Thank you so much. You are such a great writer with so much history and passion in your writing.
I also hope that you wife is doing well. Lots of goodness coming to her as well.HZ
Fun hearing Letterman talk about his Kennedy Center Honor experience—-he was obviously thrilled about it—- and especially his family’s personal private time with President Obama. He used about 20 glorious adjectives to glowingly describe Obama, his appearance and the quality of the man. And he told a cute story about coaching his son on having something ready to say and how that sorta went off track and Obama’s funny response. It was definitely the highlight of Dave’s career/life—-the whole thing a great experience, everything done to perfection according to his retelling.
It was really something! Some of the adjectives Dave used about PBO were: handsome refreshed radiating confidence everything you’d want your President to be—–on and on in that vein .also 6’3″
This really is an awesome video, libra. It’s been viral today on twitter, and posted a couple of times here today, but worth seeing again. And worth watching from beginning to end. Thanks!
It is so awesome. Thanks sfor sharing the video, libra800. The article is one to keep for sure. Michael seem to enjoy talking about his visit with POB in order to come away with such a great article. It is one that I go back to and read over and over. HZ
thanks for posting this dudette. we just watched that lawrence segment, and my husband and i were both in tears by the end–just to see those kids singing as the new desks arrived, knowing they would not have to sit on the floor all day at school. every year we made a donation to a children’s charity at christmastime, and this year, i know what it will be! k.i.n.d.!
Anti-Obamacare Rants Hurting Restaurant Brands

‘ We’ve seen a number of intemperate anti-Obamacare rants from people in the restaurant industry, and there’s at least a little evidence from the YouGuv Brand Index survey that some of the more high-profile opponents are suffering for it. ‘
Cory Booker’s Food-Stamp Odyssey Begins This Week
(with cute video)
‘ Newark Mayor Cory Booker will answer this week for an unfiltered Twitter exchange where he challenged a critical follower to live off food stamps with him for a week. ‘
The outspoken mayor begins the regimen Tuesday, when he will limit his daily food expenses to about $4. ‘
This is one of the most beautiful videos I have seen about reaction to Pres. Obama winning re-election. This is what election night looked like at the Harvard Institute of Politics (Harvard IOP).
OMG, this was beautiful. I rarely get chocked up , but this thing was very moving. That young woman , crossing her fingers, mouthing ” come on, come on, come on” as she waited for the election to be called for PBO reminds me of exactly me election night!! ( the gestures, anticipation, excitement etc.. NOT looks ! gurl is gorgeous lool )
President O to Dave’s son Harry: “OMG, what kind of a dog do you have – a wolf? When I come to your house remind me not to bring the girls!”
Dave to President when they’re standing close to each other” “You are a VERY attractive man…” Can’t blame him on that one. These words would probably leap out of my mouth too. 😀
Been barely able to keep up just reading the threads and watching some of the great videos. Want to thank Chips and all who posted the Michael Lewis interview (watched both videos in the wee hours this morning). I LOVE the part where he talks about POTUS’ “geeky” watch.
The moment Obama won the electoral college for re-elction: Columbus, Ohio – Ohio Democrats
[Rev Jesse Jackson comes up on stage to cheer at about 2:10]
The president will participate on Tuesday in his first television interview since the election.
Bloomberg’s White House correspondent Julianna Goldman will do the questioning, Bloomberg announced. According to a preview, they will discuss the fiscal cliff and his priorities and agenda for his second term.
The interview will air at 12:30 p.m. EST on Bloomberg TV.
I knew the news media would be so far over the top with this royal baby news, but it is going to be even worse than I expected. It seems all other news will be on hold for the next 6 months as we—–the world—–await “our” royal baby. The whole first 15 minutes of the Today Show was on this subject—–every aspect, multiple interviews. They sent Natalie Morales to London to stand outside the hospital—-to give regular updates. This will seem like the longest pregnancy in the history of the world.
Of course, there is the “other” story we’ll be hearing for the next 6 months (or four years): that Hillary Clinton will run in 2016. That’s much more timely to report than President Obama’s agenda, or how he’s trying to meet the current needs of the American people. There’s that.
One of the women’s magazines in my world has had “pregnant” stories about Kate for the past 2 years – all wrong – all pointless. Seems if you are a “royal” woman your only role in life is to bear children – welcome to the 15th century.
Awoke early and caught Bob Shrum on Soledad O’Brien’s show on CNN get hot under the collar and tell a faceless, nameless, lyin’-eyed Republican Senator that “Obamacare” isn’t going to be cut or repealed, and then called him “Buddy.”
Senator Johnson, who mentioned Ronald Reagan and tip oneil.
Ah, if only this President was more like Ronald Reagan, who never raised tax rates. Oh, wait…
BTW, Bob also reminded the Senator “you lost the election.” But I didn’t catch the name of the lyin’ guy (aka Buddy). It was all fiction and talking points, same as every other Republican Senator. Let’s just call him Senator X (R-USA). I think it’s safe to say he was an older white guy.
Tony Blair has less credibility than George Bush when it comes to foreign affairs – So he is blabbering on Morning Joe while they ignore the real foreign policy success of the Obama administration
Well, Tony Blair and Morning Joke are at the opposite sides of the equation. It you move both on the left side of the equation, the right side will read TWO FOOLS.
UN disabilities treaty expected to fail in Senate amid GOP opposition
Julian Pecquet – 12/04/12 05:00 AM ET
Senate Republicans are expected on Tuesday to reject an international treaty affirming the rights of people with disabilities.…
The vote is today, but I bet their will be a few. Congress is so corrupt, is their any wonder why the president keeps his distance? The Republicans want a repeat of the Heath-care 2010 battle on every single bill, but the President keeps his distance from congress, as he should.
Just heard that former Sen. Bob Dole, who had a hand in passing the Americans with Disabilities Act and promoting this international treaty, as well, will be in the audience for the vote, and “Republicans will have to walk behind him before voting to reject the treaty” he worked hard to get passed.
Believe I heard that tribal leaders are very happy that PBO has held this conference four years in a row, and it usually has real outcomes, under his watch. It’s also something to see, and there is genuine respect for the President in the room!

Good job! I’d make a smiley face, but it looks a little sinister on my post. Just one question, is this blog in EDT? Just starting here.

I am cured!!!!!! 😆 You have done a quite excellent job, Dudette!
Good now, no more of this turning on family, you hear? We got work (and play) to do.
Things always work out better when we REMEMBER WHO WE ARE!
Dudette, this is a wonderful, wonderful video. Absolutely love it. Thanks.
Isn’t it great? I’ve watched it at least 5x now. If that doesn’t melt your heart, you don’t have one.
Great video Dudette, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Betsy. I’m so glad I found it. Youtube — it’s wondrous thing! 😀
Thank you! This one goes to my “favorites” collection. It was BEAUTIFUL. Many tears.
So, Dudette, in case you missed my post to Chips, apparently Michael Dorn is in talks for a new Star Trek series where Worf is the main character. Squee!!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
It’s gotta be better than “Enterprise”.
Hell, listening to Worf belt out Pat Boone oldies in Klingon through a megaphone would be better than Enterprise.
😆 😆 😆
Thanks for this great news, LL! My family and I have all been Trekkies for ages…. all of us love Worf. And yes, Enterprise pretty much sucked!
Look I don’t know what you lot are on about, Enterprise was good, especially the last 3 seasons. It will be interesting to see what Michael Dorn in his Character as Worf will do in this reported spin off! I cannot believe I actually de-lurked to comment on Star Trek! Oh well what can I say..

Beautiful….absolutely lovely. When I see the President and First lady with children there’s a since of serenity that comes over me.
I feel that too jojo. They really are quite special.

Hey Chips, can you post some of the old music videos, like Hey, the trip to brazil, and some of the other videos with pics of PBO in the WH or out on meeting people?

Gracias, Chips! Appreciate it.
Lisa, I loved this, seeing the Obamas in Brazil. Thank you.
Yay! I love these.
Just a reminder, I know you’re busy and all, but if you could find time to redo the “Sing” video (with the music of that band that had the banjo?), I would be one happy camper.
You know me Dudette, head like a sieve, remind me tomorrow and I’ll get to work!

Hi Lisa. Thanks dudette9t9. I always love your choices of music. Music brings life and joy to my heart. I was a little away from the sweetness of my space today. A little business to take care of with about trying to take my ID. Not to worry, I have the best in the world to take care of me.

Thanks dotster….I can’t wait to see it tonight. I hope I stay up and don’t fall asleep.
Arrgh! Dammit, I missed Dave with Led Zeppelin!!! Will have to catch video later. 😦
Caught the musical guest though. Her name is Paloma Faith, I think — quirky look, wonderful voice!
It was really something! Some of the adjectives Dave used about PBO were: handsome refreshed radiating confidence everything you’d want your President to be—–on and on in that vein .also 6’3″
Found a really good video with Michael Lewis of Vanity Fair discussing the article he wrote about president Obama after shadowed him for 8 months.
This really is an awesome video, libra. It’s been viral today on twitter, and posted a couple of times here today, but worth seeing again. And worth watching from beginning to end. Thanks!
It is so awesome. Thanks sfor sharing the video, libra800. The article is one to keep for sure. Michael seem to enjoy talking about his visit with POB in order to come away with such a great article. It is one that I go back to and read over and over. HZ
Watch part 2 as well – its even better
Yup – watched both parts. Simply wonderful. He clearly got the essence of the man.
THIS! – ty Bobfr – he sure isn’t the usual man in Washington – which is what the GOP and the lobbyists detest.
I just love getting my news at TOD – wonderful wonderful place.

Wow, so stupid it’s almost sad.
I remember when the US was very proud of Princess Grace of Monaco.. Until She diied, that is.
One of the women’s magazines in my world has had “pregnant” stories about Kate for the past 2 years – all wrong – all pointless. Seems if you are a “royal” woman your only role in life is to bear children – welcome to the 15th century.
Awoke early and caught Bob Shrum on Soledad O’Brien’s show on CNN get hot under the collar and tell a faceless, nameless, lyin’-eyed Republican Senator that “Obamacare” isn’t going to be cut or repealed, and then called him “Buddy.”
Ahhh. That was nice. Proceed, Buddy.
Mornin’. Be back later.
Woot!. That’s worth almost clicking on that channel. Ahhh, nope. I’ll find video later! 🙂
Have a great day everybody!!
Who was the Republican Senator? Shrum is great.
Senator Johnson, who mentioned Ronald Reagan and tip oneil.
Ah, if only this President was more like Ronald Reagan, who never raised tax rates. Oh, wait…
BTW, Bob also reminded the Senator “you lost the election.” But I didn’t catch the name of the lyin’ guy (aka Buddy). It was all fiction and talking points, same as every other Republican Senator. Let’s just call him Senator X (R-USA). I think it’s safe to say he was an older white guy.
Tony Blair has less credibility than George Bush when it comes to foreign affairs – So he is blabbering on Morning Joe while they ignore the real foreign policy success of the Obama administration
Good Morning TOD Family,
Well, Tony Blair and Morning Joke are at the opposite sides of the equation. It you move both on the left side of the equation, the right side will read TWO FOOLS.
UN disabilities treaty expected to fail in Senate amid GOP opposition
Julian Pecquet – 12/04/12 05:00 AM ET
Senate Republicans are expected on Tuesday to reject an international treaty affirming the rights of people with disabilities.…

So, that’s that!
Why? Did any dem backstab?
The vote is today, but I bet their will be a few. Congress is so corrupt, is their any wonder why the president keeps his distance? The Republicans want a repeat of the Heath-care 2010 battle on every single bill, but the President keeps his distance from congress, as he should.
GOP don’t like the UN – probably blame the UN for believing the WMD stories – causing the US to start 2 wars.
Just heard that former Sen. Bob Dole, who had a hand in passing the Americans with Disabilities Act and promoting this international treaty, as well, will be in the audience for the vote, and “Republicans will have to walk behind him before voting to reject the treaty” he worked hard to get passed.
National Conference of American Indians, White House Tribal Nations Summit 2012, Dec 4-5
http://www.ncai.org/events/2012/12/04/white-house-tribal-nations-summit-2012
Believe I heard that tribal leaders are very happy that PBO has held this conference four years in a row, and it usually has real outcomes, under his watch. It’s also something to see, and there is genuine respect for the President in the room!
I am sure POTUS will honor his adoptive father at this gathering.
Reid needs 2 get that filibuster reform through, at least the president will be able 2 get through all his judges and nominations.
So, their is that!
Bang, bang, bang. Wake up.
Treasury now says sake of TARP stock has netted 62 million overall.
Big vote today at noon in the house, middle class tax cuts.
I bet no republican votes for them
Mooooooooooooooooooooorning:
