The Obama Diary 
Hey.
Yo yo yo!
Go Asher!
Ooooooo… can’t wait to listen to these! Thanks LL!
Whoooooooooooa.
Hehehe. I’m 1st. So happy. And I’m a funny of Bollywood, having lived my younger days in Africa. Yay, me. Thanx guys.
Well done! Congrats!
Really enjoyed the last ones and looking forward to these, if I can catch up with today.
These are great! Where DO you find this stuff?
Well, Wax Audio was recommended to me by Youtube to follow. But, yeah, I spend a lot of time finding good videos for the night owl chats.
Awesome. We appreciate all you put into finding and posting our evening wind-down music.
It helps that I’m a music nerd, so I have an idea of where and what to look for.
And now news from the other coast! 🙂
Once this gets out there will be NO TURNNG BACK…..we need to tell all the young folks who are working part time, self employed, and those that have the money to buy insurance about this. People are very impressed to pay less for insurance.
West coaster here….got home just in time to watch LO and CH or “Alex” Hayes was on his show……CLICK……can’t stand him, can’t stand to hear his voice…
I was glad that he brought Joy Reid on to discuss PBO’s speech.
LL, you are THE, UTTER and COMPLETE ECLECTIC-ULL MASTER!!!!
P.S. Van Halen during the davidleedouchebaghebeingdevoidofanytalentandrepulsive period prior to the wondrous Age of St. Hagar is, well…….umm…… Still some awesome instrumentalists fer sure!!!
I’m with keith. I’ve completely tuned out the so called news media. I realized they don’t add anything production to my way of life. To hell with them.
LL, thanks for the videos. Me like.
My pleasure!
Wonderful news! Now they just need to get this future scientist back into school.
Excellent.
That is good to hear.
Oh No!!!!
Sorry… posted the wrong tweet! This is what I meant to post!
Another example of needing funding for infrastructure. They need to listen to PBO.
If anyone died, the blood is on the hands of those crazy ass Republicans.
Without a doubt.
lmao.
nerd 😉
come on, it’s so funny and so true.
awwwww ok. you won me over! ;D strangely, I’m now hungry for a piece of pie……

A badge I wear with great PRIDE! #NerdsRule
Ha! For Sure Dudette! 🙂 #LiveLong&Prosper
Thank you! Thank you very muuuuch! #LLAP
Funniest toon ever!!!!!! 😆
😀
Love it.
I was able to hear the President’s speech on the Randi Rhodes show on iheart radio and I was thinking…this President speaks to the adults in America but I was thinking there are so many childish adults who just complain. We are a dysfunctional country with some mentally stunted individuals. When I heard there was a heckler I immediately knew it was a “left” group without really knowing until I got on TOD that it was code pink yelling for him to do something he wanted to do and was explaining to the listening adults what he wanted to do. Will this country ever grow up I wonder. Thank God for The Obama Diary the home of thinking adults.
These are soooooo much fun, LL!! Thank you.
Congrats on 1st Asher!!!
Would appreciate it if everyone reading TOD, as well as the regulars, send a statement of gratitude to President Obama for what he did today. As noted at the near bottom of the previous thread …
Simultaneously and unambiguously condemning the very opening of GITMO, launching an unnecessary war, making it clear how stringent the use of drones actually is, and calling for the end of AUMF – telling the MIC perpetual war is not an American value crushes both EMOPROGS & NEOCONSTERS.
The scope and far-reaching implications of what President Obama stated today – and began doing with the various Executive Actions he’s taken in the past couple of days – are historical on the scale of Stunning.

ADDRESSING THE UNDERLYING GRIEVANCES AND CONFLICTS THAT FEED EXTREMISM
Remarks by the President at the National Defense University – May 23, 2013
National Defense University
Fort McNair
Washington, D.C.
——————————————————-
So the next element of our strategy involves addressing the underlying grievances and conflicts that feed extremism, from North Africa to South Asia. As we’ve learned this past decade, this is a vast and complex undertaking. We must be humble in our expectation that we can quickly resolve deep rooted problems like poverty and sectarian hatred. Moreover, no two countries are alike, and some will undergo chaotic change before things get better. But our security and values demand that we make the effort.
This means patiently supporting transitions to democracy in places like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya – because the peaceful realization of individual aspirations will serve as a rebuke to violent extremists. We must strengthen the opposition in Syria, while isolating extremist elements – because the end of a tyrant must not give way to the tyranny of terrorism. We are working to promote peace between Israelis and Palestinians – because it is right, and because such a peace could help reshape attitudes in the region. And we must help countries modernize economies, upgrade education, and encourage entrepreneurship – because American leadership has always been elevated by our ability to connect with peoples’ hopes, and not simply their fears.
Success on these fronts requires sustained engagement, but it will also require resources. I know that foreign aid is one of the least popular expenditures – even though it amounts to less than one percent of the federal budget. But foreign assistance cannot be viewed as charity. It is fundamental to our national security, and any sensible long-term strategy to battle extremism. Moreover, foreign assistance is a tiny fraction of what we spend fighting wars that our assistance might ultimately prevent. For what we spent in a month in Iraq at the height of the war, we could be training security forces in Libya, maintaining peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors, feeding the hungry in Yemen, building schools in Pakistan, and creating reservoirs of goodwill that marginalize extremists.

How about prosecuting the men who get the women pregnant.
You know it’s the men who are making these draconian laws, right?
Another good show from Lawrence O’Donnell, specially the segment with my girl Joy Reid. She is good at her job.

I know. Right?
“St. Petersburg police spokesman Mike Puetz said Beck, who does not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, was given the gun by her dad a year ago and had forgotten it was in her bag.”
Responsible gun ownership – hope her friend sues her – shame that gun owners don’t carry insurance
OMG! Prayers for anyone could in this!!

Is this part of the infrastructure that doesn’t need repair/improving?

No, no, no – that’s where I keep all my Wayne (possibly about to leave) Roooooooooney hair clippings.
Speaking of Wayne Rooney, was the picture UT posted earlier of him getting his plugs legit? And if so, WHY THE HELL DID HE TAKE A PICTURE OF HIMSELF GETTING PLUGS?!?
