Obama wins!
ALWAYS!
🙂 🙂 🙂
You did it AGAIN. Congratulations, Carolmaewy.
Thank you very much.
It was a great interview.
chips, in case you haven’t seen it before, i stumbled upon an incredible photo of the hard-working mark knoller perfecting his craft…
as you know all too well, the guy is a republican propagandist through and through…
http://newscorpwatch.org/research/201108230001
Fantastic link 4More, thank you so much! I can remember Steve Benen going after him for that outrageous crap he wrote, neglecting to mention Bush’s ‘contribution’ to the deficit, he’s a loathsome shill. But we keep getting told how impartial he is. Good grief.
I’m almost half expecting this, would not be shocked
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Meta’s tweet is right on the money. A new batshit crazy group will now spring up; WINGERS!
Look out for “wing-gate”. My mind went there, but I had no idea others were thinking the same. Let’s show proof of said wings. 🙂
Thanks LP and Chips!!
call for mark knoller.
Do we need a picture of POTUS eating chicken wings?
Absolutely!! I smell “wing-gate”. 🙂
🙂
Sucha smart, quick minded man who is real and genuine…..you can tell (without pics) that he enjoys life to the fullest, and is very appreciative. I like his style.
Thanks for that lovelyPlains and Chips:) I’d taken a little “nap” on the couch and missed it. That kind of lazy day here….
Thanks for the sharing of the interview. Does anyone know how to get the game on the intertubes 🙂 internet? Has CBS got a website to watch it?
inquisitive minds would like to know. 🙂
hi, Roberta!!! Try this… http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/live/online
Thanks desertflower, now I can kind of watch it along with the twitter feed. 🙂 I just love you guys.
{{{{Hugs for you!!}}}}}
Will someone bring over my post from end of last thread? Thanks!
Here you go.
I have NO idea how to do this–imbed video so I am going to share the link and either hope it works or that someone will fix it for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb-J17iWOJk. This is the story of Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys player who won the 2013 Walter Peyton Award this year. He is from our hometown and has quite the story. Get the tissues ready!
Let’s see if it will embed.
Thank you, Tnmtngirl. That is a wonderful story.
Thanks. At a SB party. yes, wonderful story……why I wanted to share.
Per an article over at the Orange, In May 2010, while speaking to TCU students, pres Obama mentioned about his skeet shoots. In Sept of 2010, he again mention about practicing with the Secret Service……again Riffle sheet shoots. So had The New Republic not asked him about ever having shot a gun before, the 2010 comments might have been quietly dead and buried.
Once again, proving how useless our National Media is.
Funny how there are more ways to get information. Yet Our 4th Estate is woefully failing these USA in every measurable way Not to factually inform the populace with accuracy in News reporting.
They are lazy!
I’m in the mood to look at some Inauguration memories.
Here is a short one for you, Anniebella:
Thanks JER.
The interview was JUST for 7.55 minutes? It feels very short to me when compared to the 4 previous ones.
These people complain about not getting a chance. Yet when they do, the questions they ask are usually lame.
7.55 minutes to me is to short of a time to waste this president’s time. It seems to me that while the president was Looking Just perfect. Scott Pelly was NOT……he seemed a tad unsure of himself.
Congrats, CarolMae! You’re doin’ Wyoming proud.
Here to vent about appalling MSM (this time CBSradio, home of non-@SnarkKnoller and tea-NN):
@JamesFallows tweet this morning:
“On CNN just now, Elaine Chao said Obama not as high-minded as GOP Senate leaders. C Crowley never mentioned who Chao is married to”[my edit: Chao is Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell’s wife]
And yesterday, CBS radio’s “Weekend Roundup” kicked off their coverage of the Senate confirmation hearings with this gem (from memory, may not be exact quote and is not yet up on their website):
“after blocking Obama’s first choice for Secretary of State, the Senate confirmed Kerry.”
Does anyone know how to contact CBSnews who will respond to their (carefully edited) dishonest “news?” Susan Rice’s “nomination” was a fantasy fabricated by the loathsome media, but is now trumpted as “truth” by Walter Cronkte’s organization.
Skeetgate is important! Yellowcake in Niger lies are not important (yet cost thousands of lives, cost trillions of dollars).
Here’s a number that I have for CBS: 212-975-4321.
People can e-mail them too CBS.com/news
Good post. CNN had Campbell Brown married to one of Bush’s spokesmen.
Dan Senor, one of the worst neo-cons.
Yes, thanks. Was he in Iraq?
He was the chief spokesperson there for the Coalition. He is now a regular on Morning Joe.
Another reason I don’t watch Joe the A-hole.
Somebody should ask her if kissing a turtle is the same as kissing a frog?
Jennifer Hudson and the Newton kids – touching performance. 🙂
Yes, she and the newtown kids had me tearing right up. I just thought about Ms. Hudson and her family’s horrible experience and loss through gun violence. It was a very real moment, so moving and powerful. Between that and the mayors agains gun violence commercial tonight I think we will see a real advancement of the gun safety conversation. I have not watched the president’s (short) interview. Did he get a chance to talk about gun violence and brain injuries in football?
Anyway, I loved the green ribbons ( is it new?)
Green & White are the school’s colors.
ohhhh wow…i missed it…dang
Ms. Keyes torn that National Anthem up. OMG.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand……the SuperBowl begins.
Countdown to Beyoncé.
It wasn’t her. It was Alicia Keyes.
She means countdown to the half-time when Beyonce will perform! You men know that’s what you’re looking forward too now….
To tell the truth I prefer Alicia. She has more booty!
Actually…nope. When it comes to booty, Beyoncé has Alicia beat every time.
Not to me. Thank you.
I must agree with UT, Bey is definitely the most bootylicious of the two. LOL
Not to me, okay!
YES SIR!!! /both hands up (never come between a man and his booty) 🙂
Thank you very much. 🙂
How the heck did we get to talking about booties? 🙂
It’s not important annie. Difference of opinion. That’s all.
Not even close, Y. Beyonce can donate half of that thing to Paris Hilton and still beat Alicia.
Since the media badly wants to know what the President is eating:
It’s on! G’day. Enjoy…..:-D
#SandyHook
This will be a video I very much look forward to seeing …
Yes We Can
Yes it was powerful. Moving the gun safety discussion FORWARD! It’s about our future (our kids.)
To say the least ….
2013 HUA Puppy Bowl! http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hua.org&h=BAQGIpJ8p&s=1 A great rescue group. My other LOVE.
Is SF gonna show up?
How much does anyone want to bet that there will be no questions that PBO had chicken? Good performances by Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson. Tonight showcases our Divas for reals.
Alicia singing the national anthem…
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-alicia-keys-sings-the-national-anthem-at-super-bowl-2013/
That Go Daddy commercial just made me want to projectile vomit.
Oreo cookie commercial is the best one so far for me.
My cousin just called me about the oreo cookie dying laughing. I will have to wait to see it on youtube.
hilarious, still getting up off the floor
Superbowl ads so far? = C-R-A-P. They’re all unfunny.
This came to me this morning, loved the original, but we have to mix it up now & then. And Seal:
We know PBO.
I need vid of Sandy Hook kids singing, missed it.
You’re not alone…I was at the store:)
Me too
Thank you Alycee. RT’d your tweet.
WOW!!! That really hits hard.
#DemandAPlan
Very Moving. Both the Kids and Jennifer Hudson have experienced gun violence. Made me cry. I don’t see how anybody wouldn’t be moved by that, but of course I’m not a member of the NRA.
Video: Sandy Hook Chorus teams up with Jennifer Hudson, sings ‘America the beautiful’ at Super Bowl…
http://freakoutnation.com/2013/02/03/video-sandy-hook-chorus-teams-up-with-jennifer-hudson-sings-america-the-beautiful-at-super-bowl/
Thanks——teary.
Thank you for posting the interview so fast, Chips ! I’ve become lazy you know. I didn’t make the effort to search for the interview on line. I just KNEW you would find it real quick !!!
A very effective interview of President Obama. Millions watching, and he appears like “the adult in the room”. He comes off as concerned by the economy but optimistic at the same time. Perfect tone. He uses the interview to push again for a balanced approach to deficit reduction, for new revenue, for the end of certain loopholes. He sends the message about SMART spending cuts. He sends the message that uncertainty hurts the economy and that this succession of manufactured crisis is NOT GOOD.
Good job, Mr. President !!
Ok…they can show that Calvin Klein commercial again 🙂
yes, I don’t believe there are no seams. I demand a closer review.
I agree! Need a closer review:)
Doritos commercial did have the funny factor. Love the wedding dress line.
http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2013/02/first_listen_alicia_keys_natio.html
That’s just not right! Lol! 🙂
My team is down but not yet defeated. There is still a second half to play. To all 49er fans “Keep Hope Alive!”
Chipsticks, I won’t give up until the final whistle!
I am full West Indian and I love the VW add too. We Jamaicans can fight for ourselves. If we thought the ad was disrepectful in any way we’d speak up. I knew Joy Reid was one oif us. Smart. articulate, well read and witty.
Cute….Taco Bell
I know nothing about this sport, but would I be right in saying it’s not going well for SF? 😕
I don’t want to make it seem as though I’m gloating or anything (go Ravens!), but yes it appears that way.
Ah, okay, thanks Hopefruit 🙂 So, the 49ers are kind of the Chelsea of Super Bowl-ness?
I see that you are not following my example…
Now that was mean. True, but mean.
Hopefruit and Chipsticks, don’t celebrate early. There is still a second half to go. Go Niners!
Yes Nath I do understand. I get it. Ohio could still turn this thing around.
Go ahead and mock my fabulous team, HF! I still have not given up hope. Remember how Atlanta was ahead during the NFC title game. The game is not yet over. Lets see what happens in the second half.
I don’t believe the 49ers showed up to play!
And then there’s this ….
Ain’t it the truth …. LOL!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
Dear df, cookemom, Alycee, Chips …. all you need to do is Google/Bing/whatevah “YouTube Calvin Klein Super Bowl 2013” and knock yourself out!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
I will definitely not be the person who posts that video here, even as a public service 🙂
Oh. My. Word.
You are responsible for all the calls to 911 being made in 5,4,3 …. by TODers, Chips 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Huh, says the fella who reminded me to find it – Mr Innocent 🙄
Totally innocent. Now, if I were peddling virtual super bowl special naughty mats for 9.99 …. that would be a different story 😀 😀
Thank ye, thank ye, thank ye…..never too old!
Donna is clearly ‘on fire’ today!!!! 😀 😀 😀
Sounds like she needs a naughty mat… 😉
I only commented because the ad claimed there were no seams. I demanded a closer review for the sake of truth in advertisement.
Oh, sure …. 😀 😀
Holy shiz!!! I need me somma that!
I saw the ad and immediately thought… “Newt Mankini!”.
Love you, Bob….what? No link! 🙂
For any 49ers here:
Huh??????
Never thought I would agree with Carl Rove about anything – but it is the exception that proves the rule
“Representative Steve King, a six-term Iowa Republican, could be among the earliest targets of the Conservative Victory Project. He said he had not decided whether he would run for the Senate, but the leaders of the project in Washington are not waiting to try to steer him away from the race.” (NYT quote)
This nut should know that taking anyone anywhere against his/her will is a crime! If I were as dumb as Steve King, I’d keep my d@mn mouth shut. If he runs for the Senate and a majority of the people of Iowa vote him into office, they should hold their heads down in shame. This tool had the nerve to say that because he was re-elected in 2012, in spite of Romney losing the state to PBO, he thinks he has a good chance of winning a senate seat. Running for a seat in the senate is different from running for a seat in a congressional district. Just because the people in his cd keep sending him back to the House doesn’t mean that all of the voters in Iowa will vote to send him to the senate.
BREAKING: Beyonce had to cancel her half-time performance at the last minute due to sore throat. Taylor Swift looped in at the last minute.
Hope, you are kidding right? You know I’m at work and I can’t see it. I could if we had the up to date Adobe flash player and I’m scared to install it. That my bring unwanted attention to my computer!
LOL! Just joking LadyTNT. Beyonce is on schedule, and everyone on Twitter is going crazy.
Camry commercial spoofing rwnjs?
Donna Brazille tweeted about the head coach already. I’ll just second that without further comment because my keyboard is shooting sparks just typing this.
It’s Beyoncé time!!!!!!!!
I gather Ms Beyonce is making a statement 🙂
GIRL POWER!!!!!!!
What does that mean?
I’m guessing the diversity??
Yep
I’m guessing Strong Women.
That too, for sure …. very strong …
WOOT WOOT!!!! Bring on the Destiny Child!!!!
Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!! Beyoncé did not come to play. She is werkin IT. Destiny’s Child? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those were my moves to get a ring on it.
😀 😀 😀
Jeep. Perfect!!
It just REALLY annoys me how Beyonce copies my figure. 🙄
I taught Beyonce every move she dances. In my dreams.
I know right?! Girl is pure copy-cat! Oy!
Speaking to my lawyers right now, that’s copyright infringement on her part. Sheesh.
Let’s make it a class action lawsuit. My butt counts as three other people.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
BWHAAAA!!!!
You guys are so crazy, not tea party rightwing conservative NRA crazy, but funny crazy.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Beyonce was fantastic.
Yay!!!!! Love you, Miche!! Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo!!!!! 🙂
I’m late to the party, but that woulda been a good time to confirm with the First Lady that they were actually eatin’ WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, amk, that’s all that ad is about… 😉
First Lady Michelle Obama loved the performance.
I agree with you FLOTUS, 100%. You are phenomenal too FLOTUS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. Beyonce came to say she is still Queen Bey! And all that working it on stage is why! 😆 girl had me on my feet working my blubber– the most exercise I’ve gotten in the last year. 😆
🙂
AP: Breaking News: Beyonce Kick Ass At Halftime Show………..
LOL! You are too funny anniebella. 🙂
Chuck Todd is such as ARSE. He probably tweeted that crap to disguise the fact that he was nursing a raging hard-on.
hahahaahahaah
Tsk, tsk. Wash yo’ mouth out with soap. Besides he doesn’t have an organ that can perform that function. the closest thing would be in his nasty mouth.
Best take down ever.
Oh my Gawd! The fat lady is tunin’ up and running the scales.
Alycee, you know that was right on LOL! 🙂
just caught the 2nd quarter so far…are people talking about this, but are these the worst announcers ever for a super bowl?!? who thought it would be a good idea to have an announcer famous for golf announcing, to lead a super bowl broadcast?!?! tons of silence. no personality. no interesting tidbits or backstory…just nuts and bolts of football. there’s even been technical issues, which rarely happens on big broadcasts. those two guys happen to rabid republicans too…figures…”free market” fails once again…
guess he was inspired by Bey’s performance
That would be Jones
My husband just turned the Super Bowl on, and I heard the announcer said “We have a power outage here at the SuperDome. Will take about 15 minutes to recycle and get it back up.” Oh well, doesn’t affect me, I’m just waiting for Downton Abbey!!!
You know those words were spoken right before a major smackdown, right?
Go 49ers!!
The difference is that I didn’t say “please proceed,” I said “Lets proceed” meaning that we are on the right path:)
I don’t know, hopefruit… I think we might be seeing some divine intervention with this blackout, here…
Hmmm…..
🙂
So you’re saying that God waited until AFTER Beyonce performed to turn off the power. He was THAT riveted by her performance.
That sounds about right. I mean, even God appreciates a natural phenomenon. And abhors an abomination…from what I’ve heard.
LMAO!
Indeed, Theo! Although that return by Jones for a Ravens touch down devastated me.
I’m trying to put that return out of my mind.
I am too, Theo!
Wow, Beyonce, said again: Any Questions?
This was a Shut your trap off kind of performance. Wow.
Ooooops, lights out.
I told Beyonce that since she did such a good job, no need to return my abbreviated catsuit. I’ll let her keep it. She deserves it and it was becoming too tight for me around the bust area anyway.
Yeah. You wear that around the house and Mr cookemom would be on you like white on rice! 😀
One of the reasons I had to let it go. cookeman has a bum hip and that outfit made him think he could twist and shout. As you can see, I donated it to a worthy cause.
Cookeman said, “Hey, isn’t that your ‘let’s get it on’ outfit?”
I can believe that!
OMG!!! You TODers are tainting my innocence!!!! 😆
Yeah, they’re “awful” ! 🙂 🙂
Power outage.!
If we are counting on the Bush Admin., the game won’t be played till next week.
Winner!!! 🙂
Sorry, couldn’t resist 😕
Bobby Jindal didn’t pay the electric bill.
He’s currently meeting with a team of advisers trying to figure out how to blame PBO for this one.
Ravens were NOT favored to win this game. But No body told the Ravens to kick some butts. Wow, 11 seconds into the 3rd quarter and wow.
Now No power? What the heck is going on? Some one tampered with the Lights in NOLA?
Hmm? I would be darned.
The Power is OUT! in the stadium…attribute it the sway of Beyonce’s Hipsss……BOOM!
I don’t know how Beyonce do it, did you see those heels?
weird game. incredibly boring TV announcing. lights go out. blowout game. odd…
Wow wow wow!! Did you see that run?? I had forgotten how much I used to love football, so glad I tuned in tonight 🙂
OT but real interesting.
http://twitter.com/robfee/statuses/298247224155045891
😀 😀
LOL. That poor dood.
🙂
The blackout is weird and hilarious.
Unbelievable—-the power outage. A complete halt at the Super Bowl. What a shambles.
Truth ….
The same thing happened at Man United’s game on Saturday night, and they still won – so, fear not Ravens.
From facebook:
so, who are we rooting for in this meat fight? ravens or 49’ers?
FEMA
49’ers of Course!
Ok, how much do I get paid?
It depends, AMK! If the 49’ers win you can name your price! I say we send you the best bottle of CA red wine.
CA red wine ???? Go Ravens….
Forget you, AMK!
Sasha Fierce and her posse blew out the lights.
Woah!!!
Tweet of the day.
I Love it. Too funny. 🙂
Too True. ❗
Yet too Sad. 😦
BEYONCE was too HOT that her moves burned out the transformers?
Or was it a sabotage, that the Bookies are raging mad at their losses and they did the did?
Or, was it that Jindal had this messed up, why? LA is run like a poor 3rd world nation where electricity cuts off periodically?
😀 😀
NOPE!!
That’s my fave tweet. Please let it be a sign, and go forth with clarity—–God is not up there, or wherever, lining up touchdowns and deciding football games.
All the 2013 Super Bowl ads… with ratings All 26!
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1514409-super-bowl-commercials-2013-grading-the-best-worst-ads
Truly a world wide Embarrassment. In all my life of watching the Super Bowl. Nothing like this has ever happened. LA has just made the Super Bowl what it will never live down.
Thank goodness that Beyonce was able to complete her show before this fuse blew up. Infrastructure is highly needed in our nation. Could it be the work of Hackers?
The Chrysler, Jeep ad with Oprah narrating was just an all American ad. I loved it.
You divil!!!!
Folks, this is pure GOLD for President Obama and the Dems – PURE GOLD …..
Yes We Can
Perfect.
I hope this is a big embarrassment for Bobby Jindal. I’m wondering whether this is karma’s payback to him for how ugly he’s always been toward the president. If it is, he deserves it. It’s a doggone shame that some people refuse to address problems because of who is in the WH. PBO put upgrading our electrical grid among his top priorities, but the GOPers in Congress and the states are too dumb to realize we need to do this, plus it creates jobs and stimulates the economy. I’m sick of dumb, Bobfr, sick of it, and I’m sick of the failure of republicans in Congress and the states to do their jobs in a responsible way.
Here is Queen Bey’s performance…… What’s evryone talking about? The Dome lost electricity? When?
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-beyonce-super-bowl-halftime-show-2013-live-stream-2/
Ps- ignore the bs blurb.
Heh, that’s exactly the machine I am repairing right now. Looks like I have a competitor. /shakes fist at the kenyan muslin.
That’s spooky Amk, I’m working on the very same machine as we speak – it’s called Firefox’s inner workings 😦
You can’t let things well enough alone, canya?
Well, no.
Ready to go!
My point ….
Exactly ….
Invest in America – NOT WAR!
San Fran just scored a TD, maybe they can make it a interesting ball game, if not all everybody will be talking about is the halftime show. By what’s her name.
LOL.
New thread!
