YO!
Yo, Gobrooklyn. 🙂
Hey Carol!
🙂
Hey everybody
I know i’m close.
I’ll take top 5. Congrats gob.
Thanks, Yard. Got lucky.
Ha! I know the feeling.
Good day TOD! Love the picture Chips 🙂
Have you ever seen a President and First Lady as deeply devoted to each other as these two? Maybe there have been some, but…
I can’t think of any others like the current POTUS and FLOTUS. They truly are devoted to each other.
Nope we haven’t seen any and anyone who spreads the meme that Pres. Obama wasn’t there for his wife and abandoned her yesterday as was said in the last thread is clearly buying into media nonsense.
All the pictures and videos from the inauguration show that this is one head over heels in love and devoted couple.
They’re 100% devoted to each other and it is lovely to witness.
The love shared by the family was also obvious and commented on by many (First Family Candid Camera).
Don’t want to beat a dead horse, but have to put in my two cents. I was gone for a while and when I got back I read the ridiculous postings about the President “abandoning” Michelle. That was absolutely the most WRONG statement I have read here. I also watched EVERY minute…..what I noticed was a man who turned to his wife first for every thing, as he always does.
I watched the prayer service…..the song before the sermon to the end, and I saw her face when the minister thanked them for what they were doing…..they were both obviously moved, and I thought “it’s about time someone said that.” They were both so in sync with each other. Also, she laughed when the minister said “You could’ve been a preacher”…..When they got up to leave he had his arm around her as usual, then when they got further up the aisle, she stopped and talked with someone…..What I have always appreciated about him is his treatment of her.
I remember poor Pat Nixon…..he would walk off and leave her, ignore her, until other people would tell him to go and get her! Jack was not always gracious to Jackie, and LBJ…..well……’nuff said. This marriage is a love match that has grown and deepened these past four years, and that whole family loves each other! I don’t care what “savvy” people someone claims to talk to……that whole screed was patently false!
Yes! It is a marriage, like many, tempered by adversity and challenges, but one of the healthiest couple and family that we have seen in the White House in a long time. JFK would never have been able to function in today’s current media environment. He had multiple affairs and liaisons both in the WH and outside throughout his presidency.
You’re absolutely correct Carolyn. Chi on the “Chat Away” thread instead of beginning Pres. Obama’s second term with positivity came here to spread gossip, rumor, drivel, and lies. She has not provided one evidence about Pres. Obama supposedly throwing FLOTUS under the bus and ignoring her and treating her like crap. She’s been peddling disgusting nonsense and I for one agree with your statement. Pres. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama walked step in step throughout the weekend and Chi is ridiculous for coming here and trying to poison the atmosphere.
Well said, Carolyn!!
I just glanced at some of the repulsive drivel posted by one individual on the prior thread. I have never seen a President more loving and attentive to his wife and that was the overwhelming impression of viewing the two of them during the entire Inauguration series of events.
I just wrote something similar when I came across that wrongheaded perception, not based in reality, of the interaction between our First Couple on Inauguration Day—-that I have never seen a husband treat his wife with so much love and affection as President Obama. Always. Their love for each other is obvious to all. It’s glaring, in fact. And I might add I don’t even like the idea that any wife is in need of a big strong husband to help her get through the day, Marriages are a partnership, not a protection racket. Women these days are more independent than that and are perfectly able to navigate on their own.
“And I might add I don’t even like the idea that any wife is in need of a big strong husband to help her get through the day, Marriages are a partnership, not a protection racket. Women these days are more independent than that and are perfectly able to navigate on their own.”
*CLAP…..CLAP…..CLAP. Well said Dotster. My sentiments exactly.
Applause!!!!
Yeah…adding my two cents…you gotta be specifically looking for discord to spout words like “abandonment.” To insinuate that is to ignore everything that they have been through together in the last 4 years…all the love and respect that they have shown for each other and that we’ve all seen during this time. To jump to that kind of unfounded conclusion is what the GOP does, not a true supporter of the President and the First Lady.
I just had to chime in on this….the cameras for the Inaugural lunch just quickly popped back on while dessert was ending—FLOTUS’ dessert plate was barely eaten (she may have been mingling like last time and barely had time to finish), but we have no idea what was really going on. FLOTUS was leaned up eating while I saw PBO and Boehner conversing behind her back—-my husband and I call this “running interference” because we do this when I need a break from my “seat mate” at a dinner or function. I will either take a bathroom break or nibble on food or read a program and that’s my husband’s cue to take over for awhile so I get my bearings. I also observed the First Lady give long and gripping hugs as she left the table to Boehner and Cantor’s wives. She was truly warm with them and they seemed to light up with her though not with their husbands (FLOTUS probably felt so sorry for them). But the tension I noticed between the Boehners was very striking. The Cantors looked a little more at ease with each other. (I was noticing all of this while the speeches and toasts were being made). Another thing came to mind…..this lunch was right before they drove and walked down amongst the crowds. They walked out of the limo only once this time. They did it twice I believe in 2009. We have no idea what Mrs. O was thinking or feeling at the time or if she was feeling tense at the lunch—I don’t know. I would but then that’s projecting my feelings on to Mrs. Obama. Maybe she will tell us one day. All I know is I saw a very loving couple that were probably happy at times, tired at times, relieved at times, tense at times, nervous at times, annoyed at times (like we all are)…….but truly in love with one another and I’m so glad I was able to witness every ounce of their affection and humanness on that great day.
They walked twice. Once in the middle then again at the end. They walked past the reviewing stand then got a ride to the White House.
My man has his suave and deboner on.
Call me unpatriotic, but do we really need to see flag pins on tuxedos? I know there’d be an uproar to the heavens if he didn’t wear one, but geeze.
Can you imagine the uproar if he didn’t have it. Congress would spend several days debating it. Anything to avoid the real business at hand.
There would impeachment hearings already underway by now.
You betcha.
This flag pin thing is so ridiculous. Barack Obama’s heart burns for his country. I would be curious to know if past presidents ALWAYS wore the pin on their suits. It’s never been an issue.
This whole thing is on the same level as the “birther issue”. We know that, don’t we ?… But at another level, it is also an illustration of the right wing authoritarian personality. Only RWAs would think of such ridiculous criticism. These people have a simplistic view of life and attach too much importance to symbols, at the expense of facts and analysis.
‘These people have a simplistic view of life and attach too much importance to symbols, at the expense of facts and analysis.’
It does seem that that is as far as their thinking goes, LP’08. What’s amazing to me is that they not only build a continuing narrative on simplistic things but the media augment and thereby push the stupidity, instead of dampening it. In my mind that makes the media complicit in keeping ignorance alive.
i had the same thought, when i saw him in white tie with that silly pin.
So glad to see my feelings on this issue expressed so well!!! Tuxedos are not the place for flag pins, and frankly, neither are business suits, but you are all spot on about ramifications.
He surrendered to that silliness long ago and so it is ever-present. No one wants to hear another round of “freedom fries!” and all that nonsense again. He’s learned to pick his battles. He’s dealing with a big clump of morons, as was evidenced again today at the HRC inquisition.
Well said, Yardarm.
The older I get The clearer things become.
Hallelujah. Hope that’s true for all of us!
Keep on living young blood.
**Reposting**
HI guys….this is good article about “Obama’s socializing”….hehe
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-22/obama-likes-to-socialize-just-not-with-congress.html
aloha and happy hawaii morning chips! time for your annual tropical vacation, eh? you have earned a good long bask in the warm sunshine, with an umbrella drink by your side. and a handsome companion, too! that guy in the picture is obviously taken. 🙂
just saw this (i also just got up–yawn, stretch) :
‘ Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has been elected vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.
The committee voted unanimously Tuesday to elect Gabbard, who represents Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district.
Gabbard will serve as vice chair for the next four years.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz praised Gabbard’s dedication to public service, saying she exemplifies the party’s values. ‘

Oh I bet these two are going to make a great team. 🙂
Yeah, good for her!
Hi everyone. This is my first post, but I truly love this site. The inaugural coverage was some of the best in the business.
Just wanted to share info about the Staff Inaugural POTUS and FLOTUS attended last night.
http://www.whitehouse.gov has the transcript of POTUS remarks.
http://obamafoodorama.blogspot.com/2013/01/president-obama-thanks-supporters-at.html has pictures, transcript of remarks.
FLOTUS look great in black and silver. This site also has pics of Lady Gaga gown – it is interesting 🙂
Thanks Radiene and welcome. I enjoyed that. 🙂
Now that’s perfect.
love.it. Now I can take a nap, not to put too fine a point on my old lady’s head. xoxox
Ha! A good laugh and a good nap equal a happy life!
Don’t forget the diaper change and a bottle. 😀
Shhhh. Don’t wake the nappers, big fella. 🙂
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That is is perfect….have feeling the next one, that is starting, is going to add to the slobbering babies.
and that’s why they were taking those pictures behind her head, not dandruff
#WhatDifferenceDoesItMake
I didn’t watch the full hearing yet, but I did hear that and practically jumped out of my chair! Go, Hillary!
yep…that about sums it up.
Round two in the SOS hearings. In this case, SOS is what Hillary is saying.
Cannot wait to see how she “takes care of” the House committee folk. More babes in (her) arms to deal with … especially this tiny baby faced lookin’ chairman puke Republican.
Would that Sh…t on Senators
Please tell me Virginia Foxx is not on this committee…..
Virginia Foxx is not on this committee.
Oh, thank you for little blessings…..I just couldn’t take her and Rand Paul in one day…
Virginia Fox really is one of the worst.
You’re most welcome!!
Whose afraid of Virginia Wolf….. er, I mean Foxx?
Heh! Good one
I hope not.
Oh, what a ghastly mental picture she is.
[Just to cheer you up from these manufactured awful hearings! I just smiled at the Oz thingy!]:
With every mundane shopping trip, the first family seems to be saying “we are a family just like you,” said Michaela Angela Davis, a fashion expert who has campaigned for more positive images of black women in the media.
As a mother and black woman, Davis said watching the Obamas has caused her to feel that “there is something happening on an emotional level that it is still to early to articulate. It feels like we matter. And when you have felt like you haven’t mattered and then you do, the whole world opens up. It’s like when you go to Oz and it goes from black and white to color.”

Baby Face Ed Royce. Not sure how much more of him I can take. Such fakery, it astounds me. Take him down, Madam Secretary, for all of us. We are with you in that hearing room!
I’ve been all over the innerwebz trying to find a way to contact her online for a kudos shout out. So far, can’t find anything.
this is from the state dept web site:
http://contact-us.state.gov/cgi-bin/state.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php
Thanks so much susanne. I had the home page of that site, but didn’t click through to that contact us page
I hope everyone sends her a love note. I did for today and what she has done for all her years of service. We need more women in power in service for this country.
His Wikipedia page points out he was a Vietnam era draft dodger.
There ya go.
Last night we had a family dinner with my parents and grandparents (just 5 of us). As we were sitting down to eat we raised our glasses and made some toasts. Mine was “Cheers to the fact that the name of the president of the United States continues to be Barack Obama and NOT Mitt Romney!” My grandfather (a liberal Dem like all of us) said, “I may be a bit critical sometimes about Obama being too nice to the Republicans or trying to compromise…but I am damn proud of our president and we are so lucky to have him.”
Love our Prez and First Lady.
Nice. We’ve been toasting the Obama family and Administration all week!
I love your family … you lucky duck!
O/T a bit of history for you old timers.
beautiful. thanks yardarm.
Wow! What a great story. Since I watch Easter Parade every year, I’m going to be on the lookout for her. Thank you, yardarm, this is a nice bit of history–she was a beautiful young woman.
Yardarm — thank you so much!
You’re welcome.
Hillary is slapping those idiots all over the room. They look and act totally stupid. And… I really think she looks good in glasses.
These hearings will backfire. People tuning in are much more likely to side with Hillary than the GOP assholes like McCain.
Republicans are desperately looking for a “scandal”. If this is the best they’ve got, they should just quit now.
Yes, please.

“Congressional hearings find that PBO was in Benghazi with Muslim leaders, on his way to Kenya, at time of attacks!! Hillary Clinton is protecting him and has the long form birth certificate in her possession. Stay tuned, more to follow as soon as Frank Lutz tell us what more we can say to you tinfoil wearing, black helicopter, conspiracy minded morans!”
🙂
Me too … so professional and yet so feminine. She is a true lady. As is Michelle and Jill. All 3 have class, decorum, dignity!
Yes, I LOVE her glasses!!! They are very cool, and she just looks smokin’ in them.
Ah, the glasses. She is at the “I don’t give a shit” stage of life now. How freeing it must be.
Hey, as someone older than Hilary, I can tell you that that stage never comes. JRC grew her hair to look more feminine and she continues to color it to flatter her face. She is wearing less eye makeup than she did in her presidential bid, but then she had a stylist with her at all times. SOSs work too hard to stop for makeup refreshments on an hourly basis.
http://www.eclectablog.com/2013/01/photos-and-reflections-from-the-inauguration-of-president-barack-obama-vice-president-joe-biden.html
Eclectablog’s post with Ann Savage’s memorable photos of the crowds at the Inauguration is a great complement to Chip’s posts: we are diverse, many, and we all celebrate four more years!
Loved the photos from Mrs. Electablog! My favorite was the 7th – but mostly because I would kill to have the “Obama” hat and scarf she’s wearing! Anybody know where I can get that set? No, seriously. Gotta have it. (I’d give the cap away, because I don’t wear hats, but I’d love to wear the scarf.)
Beautiful! The last one doesn’t even look like a photo — more like a painting. It was a pretty sunrise!
I don’t know who these people are…but this gentleman just wrapped it up….”I don’t know what these hearings are about except for one party to beat up on another”
Not to go on about that Luncheon, but who was the gremlin who did the seating chart? 2009 FLOTUS sat next to Nancy Smash! Other side of POTUS was Diane Feinstein. This committee had some sucky moments.
the least they could have done was put a huge flower arrangement between them
I like that vision! 🙂
Thank you xtine. That is what I was going to post after lunch today, and just got back. The Inaugural Committee is bipartisan, so who was the schmuck who drew up the seating chart? Someone placed our classy, warm, deserving First Lady next to an obnoxious alcoholic hate mongering idiot. She has been through so much, and a lot of it because of Boehner. This was a fantastic weekend for her and would have been just about perfect except for having to sit next to him for over an hour. I can imagine (and I really can; been there with an alcoholic and/or smartmouth relative you can’t escape) that he was purposely provocative … in the eye rolling pic, she was trying to eat her lunch; in this one obviously her patience and decorum had been tested to the limit!
Personally, I give her kudos for not taking that piece of what looked like pie and smearing it in his face….and getting some on his sour puss wife’s plastic hair.
*plastic hair*
You’re killin’ me today, kathryn! Love it.
I just kept thinking how awful it is to sit next to smokers. Especially when you’re eating. They stink. He probably has that combination of cig cloud-stink and liquor breath. At lunch. My hats off to FLOTUS. That would challenge even the best of us.
No body else wanted to sit next to Boehner??? Michelle thought she could handle it because she is so nice and accepting??? Michelle was wrong; she underestimated the obnoxiousness (is that a word) of the orange man?
Daisydem, I wonder if that committee gave FLOTUS’ office that chart beforehand, as a courtesy. This way she could have had the opportunity to “suggest” some changes. I don’t think she/her office knew. Trying not to be mean to the Sucky Committee, but I think it was done on purpose & Boehner was there to rile her. These idiots are that childish! Unless, of course, the Speaker is supposed to sit next to FLOTUS! But then why was Dr. Jill on the other side of POTUS? Would love to know what the etiquette is, if any, for these occations!
No, the seating was protocol, I’m sure. Speaker of the House has a somewhat “exalted” position. And Boehner was on the inauguration committee. I figure if anything, he wanted to sit next to her…..
that explains why he is in every picture of the president taking his oath of office. somebody needs to photoshop his orange mug out, and that goes for the orange-faced lady beside him, too.
I don’t think there’s anything that involves the East or West wing that is not cleared by them in advance. She probably found that it wouldn’t matter to her. It actually probably didn’t matter and still doesn’t. She was probably well beyond the twitter twatter of this whole thing the moment it happened. I think this whole eye roll thing is overblown and it’s painting her as losing her cool over someone as insignificant as Boehner. She’s sitting next to the leader of the free world, why wouldn’t she be OK with the person sitting on her other side?
Unfortunately, that seat is reserved for the speaker of the house (lower case, intentional). You can blame our red district cousins.
Blame also our blue district cousins who voted PBO & a r rep (pointing the finger at some of the folks in my district)

On another note, tell me I didn’t see the rotund Frank Lurch on the platform at the Inauguration on Monday. I’m guessing he was either a guest of a Repuke or snuck in, in somebody’s pocket. How he can look in the mirror at himself every day is well beyond my pay grade to figure out, and now I have to get his image out of my head.
Yeah, you did! I was too busy to ask you folks WTF when I saw him…
Gag.
Wow, she just took down the media. Called out CNN and Fox by name. uh oh….
Go Hillary, go! She is only telling truth!
Shoot, I missed it! Sitting on a stupid webinar. AAAAARGH
Any details Cookemom??
I’ll see if I can find it. She said something about the media, CNN and Fox set the narrative of these things instead of reporting what’s happening.
OH, JEEZE….I
this is just rich:
‘ Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he believes the primary goal of President Obama’s second term is to “annihilate the Republican Party.”
“Given what we heard yesterday about the president’s vision for his second term, it’s pretty clear to me that he knows he can’t do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans,” Boehner said in a speech Tuesday to The Ripon Society. “So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party.
“And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal — to just shove us into the dustbin of history.” ‘

Well, I certainly hope Boehner is right! It has been my dream since, oh, you know, about 1972!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got my broom and dustpan ready!
Finally truth from orange julius
Well, if Boehner feels that way, and so nice and strongly he was no doubt weepin’, perhaps the orange dude should just leave now, in submission. It’ll mean a cheaper clean-up for the President.
The “dustbin of history” is where the Republican Party belongs.
He really needs to quit the sauce! What else are you on, OrangeMan?
This must be one of the talkings points they came up w/ at their retreat! Jeez!
Hahahahahaah. Boehner has no idea of the millions who wish this was so. He’s whining and blaming Pres. Obama for his incompetence.
Well that’s odd Boner….since you and McConnell WOULD NOT TAKE HIS CALL ON ELECTION NITE! Who was alienating Whom?
Oh, Susanne, would that that were so. What he doesn’t understand is how intensely we all wish this version of the Goopers were shoved into a “dustbin” (what is he, British?). Leave it to Boehner to turn all the nasty obstructionists in his party into victims. Poor little guys–just because they want to destroy the economy, gut Medicare, kill education, pollute the environment, pander to gun worshipers and disable Social Security–the mean old president wants them to go away. It’s so tewwibly, tewwibly unfair.
Oh, please you jerk! What was your party doing the day the President was inaugurated in 2009? If I recall correctly, and do think my brain is way less alcohol addled than yours is, your party was willing to let this country go to hell in a handbasket rather than work with the President. But don’t worry…the President isn’t going to annihilate your party…you all are a great job of that all on your own!
Watching Hillary; she’s really impressive. And may I say… from a point of view of pure politics, Barack Obama gave her a hell of a gift when he chose her as SoS. Would she choose to become a politician again, she would be even stronger than she ever was.
Hillary’s a great fighter and a tactician, but we found in the 2008 campaign she was instinctively a scrapper but not a statesman. What she learned from PBO is statesmanship. I don’t know that she would have developed that gravitas without this experience, his example and his expectations for her and American foreign policy.
To her great credit, she was willing to learn.
Very well said. Working very closely with a president of such UNSELFISHNESS and of such profound sense of purpose has had an influence on her, I’m sure of it.

True story. Leon Panetta has actually lifted the ban.
Freaking awesome.
This will break the glass ceiling for so many military women.
Can we just imagine how much fun that was for Austan to tweet that. Yummy.
Austan is a GOD. He must have been a lot of fun to work with.
You LIE
Please, Madam Secretary, just say YOU LIE in your response, once. Please.
He can’t read, Hill
You Lie Wilson read that drivel like he was in the fourth grade, not like a member of the US Government. Why do our tax dollars have to go to answering some questions from an unknown “Mr. Boudreaux”? Who is he?
His next door neighbor, I’d guess
This is the only person, so far, that seems to even have a clue why she is there…..Very impressed with this lady talking now…
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes straight to the bone.
I’ve seen ugly before, but these Repukes with the big squirrel cheeks and no necks, all interruptin’ our SOS, are killin’ me. Or maybe it’s just the Republican looks on their faces – such fakery.
You mean you don’t like their styled hair?
Uh, no. I don’t.
Can’t stop watching, but can’t wait until this is ohvah!
I just threw in the towel. I can’t take their hideous self-importance another minute.
I’m going to try to stick with it, but if I were Hillary, I’d be drinking my dinner tonight. I know that.
I plan to begin drinking on her behalf in a few minutes.
Good idea. Clink!
Clink!
What cha drinking….I want some….really need it after spending my day off watching this sh…..t
A little Harvey’s Bristol Cream Sherry, to start.
I can’t reply directly to theo67, but the one and only time I had Harvey’s Bristol Cream (two glasses, as I recall) at dinner one night, I felt as though if somebody didn’t stop me, I’d just slide right off my chair onto the restaurant floor. Good feelin’.
wooowee….running to abc store to get some…..never mind…will make a Brandy Alexander…have the makings in house.
My daughter always laugh when I order Harveys and they never have it.
I just made a similar comment. The ugly really does ooze out of them.
Lots of political posturing and ignorance from the part of republicans. To be fair, a couple ( just a couple) of them were actually more serious and/or appeared to be more knowledgeable. The ex-marine for example.
It’s the ignorant tea party people who are insufferable.
Agree. Was kinda glad to see it, myself.
Oh, ca ca…..here we go…HRC has more composure in her little finger than I do
Hillary can face anything. Do any of you remember when she had to testify in front of Ken Starr in his nasty investigations of her husband? She outdid that committee too. These men are truly stupid if they thought they would get the best of her! They have short memories!
I’m watching this senseless Benghazi mess and so help me…they are a bunch of fools. As HRC asked, “what is the point?” If she says, “oh yes, I read the cable and then took a nap”. What are they going to do…spank her? They can’t fire her and she has corrected them more than once when they’ve tried to lambaste the President.
All this for diplomats who chose professionals they knew put them in danger…nothing for 20 little children who did nothing but go to school.
Well said. These hearings just reinforces the truth that we need a better class of Republicans in the US government, because this lot does not deserve to hold power over the world.
yep. the dustbin of history is where they belong.
Well, lookie here, Alan Grayson.
Alan has a twinkle in his eye that, to me, says, “And now I’ll ask these questions of ya, a copy of which I sent you last night.” Maybe not, but …
Testing something.
Fuckhead interrupts her, and she looks up and says “Whadja say, fly?”
🙂
This hearing is not bringing out the best in me! Ha!
It’s totally understandable. Watching these hypocritical slime GOP in action is making me ill. And furious.
Don’t these people take potty breaks? And Hillary should have arranged for an emergency cell call and excused herself, then ran screaming down the hallowed halls.
We’ll see how fast she runs out of there, when they thank her for stopping by. In the meantime, I think she’s carrying a flask. And that glass of water’s been going down quickly. Me thinkin’ it’s spiked.
Woooohooooooo! Good news.
our president’s legacy of good.

Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA) was a classmate of PBO at Harvard Law.
Really! He seems great. I’ll have to look up his bio.
He has a wonderful bio.
He is a first term Congressman from San Diego who is very popular. He won with 70% of the votes. He replaced another excellent Democrat, Bob Filner, who retired from Congress to run for Mayor. Finally, San Diego has a progressive Democratic Mayor after several decades of Republican Mayors.
OMG….I’m so embarassed to be Southern
Don’t be. We can tell who you are – and who this guy is. He’s a bully. Just look at his face.
it’s not where you live, it’s how you live 🙂
Believe Kathryn we too in California have our share of idiots like Darrell Issa and Duncan Hunter, Jr.
Go for it Hill
Mr. South Carolina, I think, is now questioning the ambassador’s motives? And just accused Hillary of malfeasance and gross negligence.
And now she responds.
This hearing is driving me nuts. Benghazi was a CIA operation, so something is missing here…Petraeus for one. This is just an unwarranted witch hunt, as you know. I am honestly not trying to promote my site, but if you have a chance, read the article I wrote about Benghazi and you’ll see what I mean. I hope I’m not breaking any rules.
http://www.thepragmaticpundit.com/2012/11/the-benghazi-questions-no-one-is-asking.html
Whoa…Rep. Jeff Duncan just crossed the line. “Madame Secretary, you let the consulate become a death trap.” He does realize that this was an attack on us and not by us.
He played football at Clemson. He can’t help he is a douche.
I want to know who this Jeff Duncan is, where he lives, what his district is……I am so mad right now I can’t get it together to look for it…….I think a campaign to boycott his district is in order…..SC relies on tourists for the majority of their income…..never mind…..a boycott of the whole damn State….
I know it won’t make much difference, but I resolved to boycott Virginia for visits until McDonnell and that awful AG are out of office. Prior to that election, we had a wonderful visit to the historical places. Also, we will not visit SC any time soon, for similar reasons, and much as I have loved New Orleans, I cannot visit while Bobby Jindal is governor…….not allowing Medicaid to pay for Hospice! These people are evil.
Oh, I went to Eclectablog and looked at Anne’s wonderful pictures. Those two are so creative…..first parts of the inauguration speech interspersed with the pictures, then the wonderful poem “One Day” interspersed. It won’t be too long before that poem is in literature anthologies for college students. It is incredibly good, this from an old lit teacher. Another prof and I were talking about it today on our noon walk. It’s absolutely amazing.
I would also boycott Texas with that horrible governor, but my son’s family lives there, so we go. However, I do see hope for Texas….Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas are moving along. If Fort Worth would vote correctly, they would be a blue state. I hope for purple by 2016. So does my daughter-in-law. She is as rabid as we are, and comes from very RWNJs.
Good Afternoon TODVille,
I was in various meetings and missed all the fun.
Jeff Duncan is one loya foot soldier of the Orange man and the Tea Party in general. Nothing good will come from him.
I bet Organizing for Action is taking down names as they watch this today. They plan to target the tea baggers in 2014. Like I have been saying for 4 years to the chromosomaly-challenged: KEEP ON BIRTHING AND BAGGING….ALL THE WAY TO THE WILDERNESS! Remember the Whigs?
Get the hell out of DC, I say.
And bring the hand sanitizer in your pocket.
Attention, cookemom, per your earlier post: Oh, good, Hillary has “a meeting at the White House,” and will have to leave soon. Good one.
I wish I could call her and tell her to just get up and leave. I’d tell her to sing, “pardon me boys, is that the chatanooga choo choo?”
Fell.Off.My.Chair.Laughin’.
Your job here is done, cookemom!
🙂 at your service.
BTW, just dial 1-800-GetMeOuttaHere.
Perfect, cookemon, the laugh of the day.
LOL. I love you, Cookemom! Still laughing at the exegesis of l’affaire Petraeus from months ago. it was not only hilarious beyond words, but the first time I understood the whole mess.
After Bush and Condoleeza Rice ignored warnings before 9/11, Condi was promoted to Secretary of State. The blood on her hands and Bush – and the entire GOP – will never wash off. This so-called hearing is so offensive.
thank you theo! is it possible the rethugs are unaware that they’re drawing attention to that slice of history? the slice that left blood on their hands forever.
I don’t even want to try and imagine what goes through the mind of a rethug. They are just horrible.
Go ahead and speak TRUTH, Theo! Where were all these Republicans when it came to the gross negligence of the Bush administration in failing to heed all the warnings before the 9/11 attacks? Why didn’t Republicans call for Reagan’s head when over 200 marines were killed by terrorists in Lebanon? I am sick and tired of GOP hypocrisy!
Is it me? Wouldn’t any attack on foreign soil that takes the lives of Americans a terrorist attack?
No – a terrorist attack is supposed to be a coordinated effort. That’s why they are focusing so much on the words. For some reason, the GOP care about these things – words, flagpins, etc.
Don’t forget “freedom.”
…..don’t forget guns and bibles and before born babies and ‘Murica, and freedom, and liberty, and the Constipation….
… and transvaginal anything.
You guys crack me up! Love it.
We gotta laugh to keep from cryin’!
and as a rwnj I unfortunately know would say: the pledge of the legion……………………bwaaaaaaaaah
But you “got” that rwnj after that one, eh, Barb? What a hoot!
yup and proud of it; and special thanx 2 u
Collaboratin’ !!
You guys are funny. They are intent on making it an Al Qaeda attack in attempt to undermine President Obama. They just can’t quit.
What a cutie pie
That Joe Kennedy? Yeah, he reminds me of JFK. And he’s given her a really great platform to talk about the future. Cool stuff she’s put in place.
Looks like the GOP have gone running to their whiskey rooms to congratulate themselves on their day of infamy. The room seems cleared out, even though the Secretary of State is late to a meeting at the White House so she can stick around and answer more of their nonsense. Shameful.
The GOP put more credence in the Libyan President’s words than the words of their fellow American, Ambassador to the UN. It’s shameful.
They don’t really. They don’t care about any of this stuff. They’re all looking to get out to the tavern after work to meet up with the other goofballs, like Boner, where they’ll laugh, thinking they’ve won the day. We know better.
It’s repulsive.
Oh, Rep. Mo Brooks of the Great State of Alabama is raisin’ his voice. No mo, Mo. Hillary will take you down.
Please don’t call my state Great … it ain’t!
I wish Hillary would smack him down, so hard he’d never resurface!
Okay, then, YOU are great, separate from the state! (I’m moving back to Florida, so I know what you mean.)
Well, there is at least some hope for Florida! Obama did win FL. And there is Crist. But our state is bright red, our representatives are awful, just awful. I have written them letters, sent faxes, even got on my bike and hand delivered a letter to Shelby’s downtown Huntsville office regarding health care and what do I get in reply: first a NO vote then a letter back to me with the “yes, buts” platitudes.
And P.S. I AM great!
I have an R congresscritter here in Illinois, and they finally stopped sending me literature based on one letter I sent … kept writing “Refused; Return to Sender” on the later missives, and I think they got the message.
Love how you got on your bike to hand deliver a letter to Shelby. Condolences on the Shelby part.
At one point, Gallegly was my Rep, and I’d get these multi-page form letters back from him filled with right wing talking points from FOX and Rush Limbaugh. It was terrible. He lost the last election, but I had already moved to Janice Hahn’s district. Moving to Henry Waxman’s district now. Much better living in the Blue Zone.
I am in Waxman’s district now too; I used to be in Dana Rohenbacher’s (R) 🙄
My soon to be neighbor! Although, his district covers so much ground now.
Yes, it is huge 🙂
Well that was nice, Mr. Arkansas….
GAHHHHHHHHH
Her fellow Arkansan (?) wishes her well. Nice gesture; you can tell he’s new. Love the name “Tom Cotton.” Maybe it’s the wine, eh?
What did he say about wishing she’d won the Dem primary? My head exploded a little, and I didn’t really hear what was said.
I couldn’t get past his haircut. Sorry.
LOL 🙂
It’s the little side remarks that make reading the news on TOD an absolute joy
🙂
The right wing nuts and the Teabaggers know that Hillary on the ticket in 2016 is a grave danger for any illusion they have to take the WH. They will do anything and throw anything at HRC to damage her credibility, effectiveness and popularity.
i think they want her on the ticket. that’s why so many are promoting her, such as newt gingrich, rupert murdoch, arianna huffington and so on. they all are pushing the “hillary as inevitable” theme and have been for years. they know how divisive the clinton name is, whether fairly or unfairly to hillary, but is true nonetheless. and they know she’ll surround herself with some of the worst people in the democratic party, just as she’s done her entire career.
Agree.
You are exactly right 4morefor44. Don’t believe for a second this MSM and GOP love fest with Hillary is based on any genuine belief that she is a threat to their desired Republican candidate. It’s also a cynical attempt to get Democrats so invested in the idea of a Hillary candidacy, that they have zero motivation or enthusiasm for anyone BUT Hillary (who won’t run or will be defeated) – thereby ensuring a Republican WH in 2016.
As I’ve stated many many times before, many of the wealthy “liberals” in the MSM and blogosphere would be just fine with a Republican Presidency. They did just fine and probably even better financially during the Bush years. So if they push Hillary to help the GOP in 2016, so be it. Their arses are covered – or so they think.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senior defense officials say Pentagon chief Leon Panetta is removing the military’s ban on women serving in combat, opening hundreds of thousands of front-line positions and potentially elite commando jobs after more than a decade at war.
The groundbreaking move recommended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units. Panetta’s decision gives the military services until January 2016 to seek special exceptions if they believe any positions must remain closed to women.
A senior military official says the services will develop plans for allowing women to seek the combat positions. Some jobs may open as soon as this year. Assessments for others, such as special operations forces, including Navy SEALS and the Army’s Delta Force, may take longer.
http://mobile.boston.com/art/35/news/nation/washington/2013/01/23/panetta-opens-combat-roles-women/yb6F6FSVXHCBerWiJ8EiFN/story;jsessionid=C04AD88B5113EB06BF943BF3BAD01F6D
But I thought The President hates Women?
The fact that women (and men) are willing to take these positions that are so dangerous is awe-inspiring.
I guess it’s hard to accept that there was an election, an inaugural oath of office, several fancy parties, AND the same folks are still sleeping in the White House. It’s true, denial ain’t just a river in Africa. These folks are still looking for a real conservative to run against Mitt. If they can find a real conservative, they can take on Mitt and win the election.
Keep it up geniouses, you are really appealing to the independent, conservative Dem, youth, female, Asian, Latino/a, educated, fair-minded voter. Yeah, they’ll be out in droves voting for you in ’14.
cookemon, you are on a roll today. Your last paragraph is priceless. And didn’t they just have some sensitivity training about how to appeal to diverse groups? That must of been some session. Wonder if Wayne LaPierre and John Bolton were featured speakers.
If the GOP and the Teabaggers could go back in time and change November 6, they would. They just can’t believe what happened on 11/6/12 at 11:10pm EST. And the events of 1/21/12 don’t help either. It’s hard to watch the results of the elections AND the inauguration with all these people that flocked shamelessly on the National Mall.
Why? How?
Praise the Lord, the hearing is now adjourned. Hallelujah.
Good, I went to WH.gov and sent a message (a non-policy message) asking that they have a glass of wine or WH beer and a comfy sofa for our SOS when she finally arrives for her meeting this evening! I hope they read my message before she gets there.
🙂
Press secretary Carney: No discussion with Obama over Beyoncé lip-sync flap
Justin Sink – 01/23/13 01:55 PM ET
“I’m glad you guys are focused on the important issues of the day here,” Jay Carney told reporters Wednesday.…
Ha!
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, you have to have a lot of brass to raise you hand at a WH briefing after a major inaugural address and in the light of all the issues facing the country and ask if the President of the United States of America has an opinion about lip synching gossip. If any of those nitwits were my son or daughter, I would hang my head in shame and ask what I had done wrong.
Every citizen needs to hang their head in shame at the low level of these White House Press Corps charged with keeping the country informed.
The Benghazi hearings revealed how shockingly ignorant the GOP is about foreign policy.
Also how shockingly irrelevant they are to the life of this country. Americans could care less about this Benghazi obsession. Why aren’t they talking about jobs, dealing with the debt ceiling, holding hearings on gun violence, reintroducing the Violence Against Women Act or discussing national voting standards. I am so resentful of this colossal waste of time and money. As cookemon said above, the damned election is over. Move on and get something done or go home and let the Dems get to work.
righteous rant, jackie!
THIS!
Forget foreign policy, one didn’t even know that legislation prevented the firing of the four State Dept personnel who are on administrative leave – even though he’s part of the government that writes the laws. Very embarrassing. They also don’t understand that a Secretary cannot possibly read all the mail that comes into her department, although if you asked those Republicans if they know what administrative requests have come into their office today – they’d probably have no idea.

‘ Obama deserves an apology from Mitt Romney and the GOP for using a tragedy to try and smear him when the House GOP voted to cut funding that may have prevented that tragedy. ‘
nope, pigs still not flying.
Y’all are on a roll…..enjoyed watching the Soap Operas with you…..really I did…it always makes me happy to see a strong woman take down the good ole boys……
🙂
best quip of the day!
Afternoon/evening Obots!
I’m not even going to try to catch up on all the threads. I see Madame Secretary slapped around the mouth breathers a bit. Good for her.
Now, filibuster reform. It seems that Turtle has just about run out of time. From TPM:
Tick tock, Turtle.
Ah!
Stock market closes higher after SOS Hillary GOP smack down. Even the 1% are running from the slow moving elephants.
Chips, everyone, from CSPAN the full video of the Inaugural Prayer Service – President & First Lady enter at ~ 23:10 …
http://www.c-span.org/Events/President-Obama-Attends-Inaugural-Prayer-Service/10737437391/
Exactly. I watched it too and Pres. Obama never ignored and abandoned First Lady Michelle Obama. Chi’s comments on the previous thread are repulsive because they are filled with gossip, innuendo, and lies. She has no evidence yet as Pres. Obama begins his second term, she chooses to come here and spread poison about a man who has been devoted to his wife since day one. She chooses to malign his character. It says more about her than Pres. Obama that she can’t revel in the happiness that Pres. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama radiate. It’s disappointing, stomach churning, and disgusting.
UT it’s all those, and FALSE.
You mean he wasn’t making out with Michelle on the front row of the National Cathedral while on tv?……..You mean to say that his Mama taught him that there are times for pubic display of affection and there are times to mind your manners?
OMG…public….stop me….no more Brandy Alexanders for me….OMG
My second best laugh today! You’re okay; keep sipping!
Forgive me, but you did bring this on yourself. 😆
Oh LL, I’ve been crying all day. I’ll just keep crying, but I’m happier.
I must have replied to wrong post. I thought it was PBO thanking his OFA.
It’s OK Carol…it’s about me being tipsy and not being able to type….you see I have spent the day watching a bunch of dumb a…s like the one’s who surround us and just figured I deserved a drink or two or three….
You deserve 😘😘😘kisses. I recorded it and watched comedy.
lololol; would have missed it if you hadn’t mentioned it!
Madam, I bow to you. This one just has to go in the TOD vault for posterity. Chips capture this one to show future TODders. This is how legends are built. OMG kathyrn you won the internet.
Also, this article provided by Taiping1 refutes Chi’s repulsive comments.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-22/obama-likes-to-socialize-just-not-with-congress.html
Also if you go back and look at the clips on Chip’s many posts on Inauguration Day you can see the truth. I was particularly struck when they were walking and waving while walking: they would hold hands then break apart to wave then he would reach out without looking and grab her hand. They would walk holding hands for a bit then break apart to wave then hold hands again, and again. Always aware of one another. Also the way their bodies melt together when dancing, the murmurs into one another’s ears. The clowning in the reviewing stand. Michelle is more than capable of dealing with Boehner. She is fierce. (Remember her “Be Not Afraid” speech in Iowa?)
&feature=player_embedded
Michelle is fierce. She and PBO are equals, partners.
AWsome…i think this is my favorite speech of hers…i thought that the 2012 DEM convention speech had supplanted it but when i view this again….this is still on top….she is indeed Fierce…..Fierce…. Passionate,,,
From the article…
Watching the Obamas during the inaugural parade made clear why he has chosen evenings with his wife and daughters over evenings with Congress. A more comfortable foursome you’re unlikely to find…

The quality of the Members in the House leaves a lot to be desired. You must wonder what their constituents are like.
Who elect these clowns ?
The House is not the august chamber it used to be. It has become an asylum of all sorts of fringe.
God help us!
NCLB, you note “an asylum of all sorts of fringe” in reference to the House and I’d say that is the best description of today’s GOP that I’ve seen yet. Well done!

Learn more about the plan here.
During the hangout hosted by Google and moderated by Hari Sreenivasan from PBS NewsHour, Vice President Biden will discuss the White House policy recommendations on reducing gun violence. Google+ users from the around the country will join the discussion, including Guy Kawasaki and Phil DeFranco. If you have a question, you can suggest it by writing it on the participants’ on Google+ pages. Watch the hangout with Vice President Biden live on WhiteHouse.gov, or tune in to the White House’s Google+ page or YouTube channel.

J Crew has been on cloud nine 🙂
Hey Admiral….knock, knock. Us kids need a new thread if you’re not body surfing! 😀
Everyone – capture this dude Rohrbacher’s tweet before he deletes it …
Am only posting it because it’s being RT’d to the networks and he’ll likely delete it soon …
“Dana Rohrabacher Dana RohrabacherVerified @DanaRohrabacher
@WretchedSnark @2miche Hillary did well, but I will leave that spanking thing to she and Bill”
http://t.co/KJh89LL7
Wow.
I may be slow, but I don’t get it. I won’t ask for an explanation, cause it sounds ominous, but I guess I need to brush up on my twatter squawk.
I am sure like me most of you will decide for yourselves who you will support for 2016 whether you are in OFA or not. I am in it to support PBO, not whomever someone I am not supporting tells me to support.
Listening to alot of the discussion about 2016 and who will inherit Organinzing for Action at the end of the President’s term…i will put my bid in that it will be the President himself…
i don’t know who all the players will bein 2016…but i say with some confidence that neither VP Biden or SoS Clinton will Inherit the Wind~~(OFA)
as someone likes to say….
That is All… smilin
‘splain, Lucy! (Maybe my brain is fried from watching the earlier hearings, but I’m not sure I get your little comment!)
what i mean is that depending how strong Orgainzing for Action becomes…there is no one that could touch this organization but PBO….and i do not see PBO turning over OFA to Biden or Clinton…
After I asked, I kind of realized what you meant – but thanks!
OFAction will be huge!!!
oh ok, now that i read this, disregard my post following.
3-term President!
No one ‘gets’ it. It is a 501c3 organization that has been put in place and will be an activist grass roots organization headed by Jon, Robert, Stephanie, and Plouffe. They will roll out initiatives and call to action that supports PBO’s agenda. I imagine there may be some request to support local, state, and national level candidates, but I doubt anyone gets direct access to the database.
I think the new incarnation of OFA should start with a vote of “members” about our privacy and/or a petition to keep our info out of the hands of the DNC, the DCCC, Daily Kos, the emo… whatever it is you all call the PL criers! Is there anyone here who can get to the people recently put in charge to say we would strenuously object to being sold to these other groups? WE THE PEOPLE should tell these groups to back off… that’s what the new OFA is about. If we can’t pull together to get they idiots on “our side” to back off, what can we hope to do against the absolute devils in the GOP?? Just wondering. Maybe a tweet to the leaders of these groups from one of our expert tweeters is in order?
Go to the OFA contact us page and let them know your concern. There is no reason to put that out in the twitterverse. I’d appear that there was infighting among ourselves before it even gets off the ground. By all means let them know how you feel, but behind the scenes.
Watching Rev. Al on time delay. He pronounced my stupid senators name wrong and I loved it. Barrasso deserves no respect. At least WY only has three idiots in Congress. Also see Rush made a fool of himself.
ooooh, Rev Al can wreck the pronunciation of names, can’t he? LOLOLOL 😆 😆
Yes, and he murdered the name of whiner. He’s hard to listen to, but I like him despite everything. He stood behind PBO on the fiscal cliff.
I forgive RevAl anything as he has been a staunch supporter of PBO.
🙂
Who the Fuck cares if the music was played live or if Beyoncie sang live? I know that 2009 the cold weather prevented YoYo Ma from playing life due to his very expense violin and possible damage playing in the very cold weather. There are so many people dying every day due to lack of healthcare, evil Governors cutting off hospice care, lack of jobs and the lazy GOP House and they are worried about who sang or played “live” at the inaugural….Bill Press!
AMEN!!! Who gives flying farther about 2016? 🙄 as to OFA? That belongs to PBO and his supporters, not to the democratic party. They can go make their own list and build their own coalition.
New post!
http://theobamadiary.com/2013/01/23/sealed-with-a-kiss-2/
Well, just got home. As always I go through the morning thread to the most current. I will say i scrolled so fast through the last thread I got whiplash! To all those that Chi was screaming at, I support everything you said. WOW! Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Love to all,
Sue
