Oh, I see how it is, the mini blog tyrant uses blog tyrant tools for a little bedevilment aimed at the blog tyrant. This can’t be good. Ha!
More serious subject … No matter how serious the topic, it is always such a comfort to hear our President’s voice, as he describes the issues. He’s in control, thank the Lord.
I condemn in the strongest terms the appalling attack against a British service member in Woolwich on May 22. The United States stands resolute with the United Kingdom, our ally and friend, against violent extremism and terror. There can be absolutely no justification for such acts, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim, the police and security services responding to this horrific act and the communities they serve, and the British people. Our special relationship with the United Kingdom is especially important during times of trial, and I look forward to my trip to the United Kingdom to participate in the June G-8 Summit, hosted by Prime Minister Cameron, which will include discussions on the important global security challenges our countries face together.
I trust him immensely. I don’t trust those who may come after Jan 20, 2017. Therefore, starting a discussion or coming up with rules and regulations to stamp out an overreach are precisely what he is doing. Therefore, I commend him more.
I notice that Grim hasn’t tweeted anything in the last 20 minutes. He must have realized that no one is cheering his bullshyte, and that people are actually LISTENING to their President, heeding his words, and APPRECIATING the truth and lesson from him.
WASHINGTON (AP) — After five years of trying, President Barack Obama has placed his first nominee on a key appeals court.
The Senate on Thursday confirmed Sri Srinivasan to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The court is considered the most important in the country after the Supreme Court. The Senate voted 97-0 in favor of his nomination.
Srinivasan is currently the principal deputy in the Office of the Solicitor General. He has worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations and served as a law clerk to former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
The D.C. circuit court will now be evenly split between nominees from Democratic and Republican presidents.
“I’m willing to cut the young lady some slack, because it’s a passionate issue.” – $10K bet that some RWNJ says the President planted the heckler, himself …
… not prone to migraines, but maybe a migraine would take away the pain of seeing our President heckled
My only regret is that this speech is not being given in Prime time. Our Media is so pathetic at educating the public that again the majority of folks will be left in the dark on these issues. Our President is doing an incredible job of explaining this issue!
Yes, he’s doing a fantastic job. Thankfully, unlike say 10 yrs ago, Social Media (like Twitter) has made it possible for more people to bypass the typical media spin, and the video is going to be archived.
For some…but I can tell you that there an many in my generation that wouldn’t know a tweet from a peep. So we still (unfortunately) need our media as bad as they are to educate. Nothing frustrates me more than their dereliction of duty!
The traditional media’s influence is waning — if there are any lessons to be learned from the 2012 election. Fewer and fewer individuals get their information directly from the media, and even those who do – many of them have family, friends, acquaintances or other associates who have access to other outlets.
What especially irritates me is that the news will cover her — she will probably be invited to speak on some “news” programs. She deligitimites her own position when she disrespects others.
Yep. The news cycle will be almost completely about the heckler. It drives me nuts. Nuts.
Folks, let’s tweet journalists like mad and ask them politely to cover the SUBSTANCE of the speech. I say “politely” because they’re such divas that if we’re too harsh they respond by being even nastier to the President, and that’s the opposite of what we want…
God bless you, President Obama, for making every uncomfortable moment nevertheless a teachable moment.
Heads better roll, however, for the person or persons who didn’t screen this effing audience better, because that’s a dangerous situation, from my perspective. What the eff is next?
But, of course, the President can handle the situation, can handle himself, and can handle our country better than any other President, because HIS agenda is OUR agenda – not the agenda of neocons or oil companies or chickenhawks or the other dregs of society.
I shall not listen to any punditry for the rest of the day. The hell with all of them. Off to find MightyPamela’s candle link.
In 2008 during a Primary campaign speech I witnessed PBO handle a group of antiabortion protestors. He handled it in the same exact respectful way. Asking those prepared to escort them out to let them speak and telling the crowd booing them that they had an important point of view and the right to express the view, but they also needed to be able to listen. After expressing their point of view they were quietly escorted out. It was impressive to see him handle the situation. In contrast former President Bill Clinton was on camera pointing at a heckler loosing it with reddened face and trying to out scream the heckler and demanding the person be taken out immediately. President Obama is consistent and respectful.
Did you see his eyes during that woman’s harangue? Finally someone took her out, because I could hear her voice getting dimmer. She should have been taken out the first time she yelled, but his eyes were direct and someone finally got the message.
It’s readily available if anyone cares to see it. People share responsibility for not seeing it. It will be shown tonight on C-Span at 8pm. Available in archives at C-Span and the White House site forever. People are busy and no longer take the time to be informed. How do we change that?
When the media reports the news – rather than attempting to be the news – people are informed. The highlights of the speech should be on ALL news broadcasts
So refreshing isn’t it? Even though he’s been in office over four years now, each speech is from the heart. He may have speechwriters, but I feel he has a part of it and understands what he is saying and how it will affect the country. Nothing like the four letter word president before him.
He writes big parts of the most important speeches. Even if the first draft is done by his speechwriters, he does so much editing it ends up being mostly his work. I’m pretty sure it’s the case for this particular speech, and the one he made for Morehouse College last week-end.
Now watch the loud mouth disrespectful woman be sitting on every political show there is. I would have had her ass drag out of the room the first time she started running her mouth, but POTUS tried to be respectful.
Here is the Twitter page of Medea Benjamin, the lunatic from Code Pink who disrespectfully heckled the President (something she wouldn’t DARE try with a President Bush or Romney – even if they were droning the daylights out of terrorists and non-terrorists alike.
Actually, she heckles everybody. She’s heckled Republicans, Congress and any and all Presidents who don’t measure up to her Visions of Purity. She’s quite the loon and although the heckling will get a mention, it won’t get the coverage people here think it will.
Do you have any links to her heckling Republicans in congress and Republican presidents? Thanks in advance. I will circulate them on Twitter if you provide them.
Thanks 57 – this is good info to have. What they fail to understand is that not all Presidents/governments are alike, and pushing a cause is not just about protests and other publicity stunts, but first recognizing allies from enemies and proceeding with that knowledge.
I cannot watch the speech, but between UT’s tweets and the WH tweets, it is almost as if I were there. Reading some of the quotes, it sounds like he is leading up to ending the “war” stage, which would then effectively end the AUMF. The RWers will go nuts, but then they will do that no matter what.
I get the sense he is saying, “Congress gave me certain powers. I have attempted to the best of my ability to use them wisely and appropriately. However, sometimes a President can have too many powers in the wrong situations, so I am encouraging and, in fact, asking Congress to take some of them away.”
And my RWNJ nephew just posted a photo that claims a ‘tea party poll’ says over half of Americans want to see PBO impeached. Then he’ll post pro-marriage equality stuff, vehement anti-choice stuff, and pro-environmental stuff. He is giving me whiplash.
You can always put him in restricted and then no one else can see them and you can read them when you want. That’s what I did with my RWNJ friends and family. I actually wrote a post for them and others to see. It shut a lot of them up. At least to me. I’d gladly send it if you want me too. I’m assuming you’re talking about FB. 😉
If you need help, I’m on FB too. It’s my real name, starting with Carol of course in Gillette, WY. There mothers must be a way I can tell you in private. I’m blue in a red state. Poor me. . . 😆
Tell your right wing nephew that if they didn’t impeach George W. Bush for lying us into Iraq, they better not even try impeaching President Obama. And I mean every dam word I said too.
Who else could handle the heckler with such grace, calm and intelligence but President Barack Obama! The speech was rivetting. As far a I am concerned he could have kept talking all afternoon. He takes us all to ‘school’ when he gives these major speeches. Turned off the tv the minute he was finished just to let the beauty and wisdom of his speech seep into my being, without being flawed by the no-nothing media.
These are the times of our lives that we must cherish TOD…I refuse to let the naysayers rob me of this gift.
Oklahoma needs attention – Jodi Aries – killed her ex boyfriend – how many people in the US are killed each week by their partner/ex-partner? In most countries – media recording of jury trials is NOT permitted. If anything works against justice it is showing trials live on TV.
Neither the left nor right media can effectively spin/counter ANYTHING our President has said today. So they will either focus on Code Pink, or move on quickly to some other story…..
It is a foregone conclusion. Congress should disband until 2014 – they could then spend 100% of their time plotting against their country. No need for terrorists with this level of hatred in the house.
It was a fantastic, measured approached. The respect and patience with which he handled that heckler was magnificent
! Obviously, she was there to make headlined for Code Pink, and NOT to listen to what he was saying, if she had been she would have shut up. Heard some sensible response to the speech by the media, and so-called experts, for the most part. The public needs to listen to what a real president has to say, and not a bunch of patriotic feel=good fluff.
Obama Masterfully Uses Code Pink Heckler To Make His Case That GITMO Must Be Closed
By: Jason Easley
————————
Do you want to know why President Obama let her speak? This is going to come as a shock to the far left, but Obama agrees with her on the basic idea that GITMO must be closed. By letting the Code Pink protester ramble on, President Obama got his message about Congress needing to authorize the transfer of detainees out of GITMO on the frontpage of every website, and it will be the lead story all over cable news tonight.
.
.
In March, Republicans admitted that they are the ones who are preventing GITMO civilian trials, yet groups like Code Pink continue to blame Obama.
.
.
Obama handled the heckler beautifully, and the whole thing worked out to his advantage, because now the world will get to see who is really preventing the closure GITMO.
I never expect anything less from our great POTUS. However, some people in our wonderful nation always expect the worse For our President.
Mr. President, continue to be the principal man that you are. Continue to share the brilliant mind that you have been given to study hard, work hard, listen hard, and speak with respect and great confidence.
I am and will ever be proud to have worked so hard to elect this beautiful soul as our 44th President and then work even harder with all of you to re-elect him in 2012. God help us all, when he leaves in 2017.
I am proud to call you, Mr. President, my President.HZ

AMEN! I’m listening and smiling and saying, “Go get ’em, Mr. President.” 🙂 🙂 🙂
OMG THIS X ∞.
I am glad he did not talk about the embassy attacks under Bush …the right won’t be able to say he blames Bush.
PBO is the smartest man in the room
Just, legal, proportionate war … with President Obama as our Commander in Chief. Works for me.
This is absolutely riveting. It is downright hypnotic listening to President Obama speak. I am hanging on his every word. This is deadly serious.
THIS!!!!
Yet the media knew that and never once reported that.

I could listen to my President speak all day, everyday!
I trust him immensely. I don’t trust those who may come after Jan 20, 2017. Therefore, starting a discussion or coming up with rules and regulations to stamp out an overreach are precisely what he is doing. Therefore, I commend him more.
Yep, he too doesn’t blindly trust everyone who’ll come after him. He doesn’t want a repeat of the Bush/Cheney disaster. Ever.
I trust President Obama also.
Yep, I was remembering Bush while he was speaking. It’s like they come from different planets.
sic him tweeters he is a huff puff arrogant ass.
Ryan Grim @ryangrim
Go get em, boys RT @DOJOnIt Four Americans were killed by drone strikes, and THE DOJ IS…well, hmmm. Carry on.
I notice that Grim hasn’t tweeted anything in the last 20 minutes. He must have realized that no one is cheering his bullshyte, and that people are actually LISTENING to their President, heeding his words, and APPRECIATING the truth and lesson from him.

Will that woman shut the f up. Show some respect. Listen to what the POTUS has to say. Infuriating.
Don’t worry – PBO handled her as only he can….
A heckler at NDU at Ft. McNair?
“I’m willing to cut the young lady some slack, because it’s a passionate issue.” – $10K bet that some RWNJ says the President planted the heckler, himself …

I have one. . . {{:-(
She needs to go heckle Congress,
My only regret is that this speech is not being given in Prime time. Our Media is so pathetic at educating the public that again the majority of folks will be left in the dark on these issues. Our President is doing an incredible job of explaining this issue!

Thinking that too, but who has a regular work schedule anymore? My hubby is sleeping because he works 12 hours tonight, plus three hours on bus.
She’d get one word out and be arrested. . .
Following UT’s TL. Apparently Code Pink is protesting Gitmo. During a speech in which PBO details how he … wants to close Gitmo. Asses.
I wish I had the patience as PBO. Forget about slapping the podium, I’d be slapping that woman instead.
Where is this being held and who is in the audience?
What especially irritates me is that the news will cover her — she will probably be invited to speak on some “news” programs. She deligitimites her own position when she disrespects others.
Yep. The news cycle will be almost completely about the heckler. It drives me nuts. Nuts.

Not so sure. These people regularly stage these protests at hearings in Congress. They are not a new shiny object for the press.
God bless you, President Obama, for making every uncomfortable moment nevertheless a teachable moment.

That was a powerful speech. Coherent, reasoned, clear, grounded, explanatory, transparent.
Congress better grow up.
I watched his speech, but I also love Nerdy Wonka’s tweets…..can someone bring them here?
Yes ma’am. They’re down thread.
p.s. Thank you. 😀
Awww…..Donna. Thank you sooooooo much. You’re the best.
So glad that my tweets helped you out. 😀
Let me chime in as well…about how much I appreciate your tweets and how you can relate the message…so concisely…it is a gift
Thanks for the kind words. 😀
Agree with everyone about the wonderful tweets by UT. They are so helpful for some us who miss watching the President’s speeches.
And for those who sleep at upside down times – they are a fabulous summary – thnak you UT
Did you see his eyes during that woman’s harangue? Finally someone took her out, because I could hear her voice getting dimmer. She should have been taken out the first time she yelled, but his eyes were direct and someone finally got the message.
Yep. Unbelievable the security took so much time before getting her out.
It’s readily available if anyone cares to see it. People share responsibility for not seeing it. It will be shown tonight on C-Span at 8pm. Available in archives at C-Span and the White House site forever. People are busy and no longer take the time to be informed. How do we change that?

Yes, I thought so. We are truly blessed.
Now watch the loud mouth disrespectful woman be sitting on every political show there is. I would have had her ass drag out of the room the first time she started running her mouth, but POTUS tried to be respectful.
No. No one pays attention to Code Pink.
Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin was the person shouting at Obama:
Here is the Twitter page of Medea Benjamin, the lunatic from Code Pink who disrespectfully heckled the President (something she wouldn’t DARE try with a President Bush or Romney – even if they were droning the daylights out of terrorists and non-terrorists alike.

Do you have any links to her heckling Republicans in congress and Republican presidents? Thanks in advance. I will circulate them on Twitter if you provide them.
I’ll see what I can find. Code Pink heckles almost everything that isn’t purist progressive. They give progressives a bad name.
There’s a good list in this wiki article, as a start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Pink
Thanks 57 – this is good info to have. What they fail to understand is that not all Presidents/governments are alike, and pushing a cause is not just about protests and other publicity stunts, but first recognizing allies from enemies and proceeding with that knowledge.
Well reasoned and well said.
She heckled the Brenen conformation hearing 5 times…finally Diane Feinstein cleared the room.
it happened all the time. They always tried to arrest Karl Rove.
can’t wait to view PBOs speech again,,
That’s what I was going to do too. He covered so much. First I’ll read all of Ut’s tweets, the WH.gov and then watch. 🙂
What is Code Pink? I guess I’m truly out of it……
me too, heard of it but have never known what it is or why it is.
Not sure if you’ve gotten your answer yet, but here’s info:
http://www.codepink4peace.org/
They don’t understand the president is trying to get congress to do what they want. Poor things.
I cannot watch the speech, but between UT’s tweets and the WH tweets, it is almost as if I were there. Reading some of the quotes, it sounds like he is leading up to ending the “war” stage, which would then effectively end the AUMF. The RWers will go nuts, but then they will do that no matter what.
I get the sense he is saying, “Congress gave me certain powers. I have attempted to the best of my ability to use them wisely and appropriately. However, sometimes a President can have too many powers in the wrong situations, so I am encouraging and, in fact, asking Congress to take some of them away.”
Again, basing that on tweets I have read.
For those who missed the speech.
You are great at this! BIG THANKS!
You’re welcome. 😀
😀 x100
Small club—–just keep shuffling the same people around…..
Crazy time to join print press – but media folks don’t see anything – even their own demise
And my RWNJ nephew just posted a photo that claims a ‘tea party poll’ says over half of Americans want to see PBO impeached. Then he’ll post pro-marriage equality stuff, vehement anti-choice stuff, and pro-environmental stuff. He is giving me whiplash.
You can always put him in restricted and then no one else can see them and you can read them when you want. That’s what I did with my RWNJ friends and family. I actually wrote a post for them and others to see. It shut a lot of them up. At least to me. I’d gladly send it if you want me too. I’m assuming you’re talking about FB. 😉
Thanks for the tip. I didn’t know I could do that.
If you need help, I’m on FB too. It’s my real name, starting with Carol of course in Gillette, WY. There mothers must be a way I can tell you in private. I’m blue in a red state. Poor me. . . 😆
Tell your right wing nephew that if they didn’t impeach George W. Bush for lying us into Iraq, they better not even try impeaching President Obama. And I mean every dam word I said too.

Who else could handle the heckler with such grace, calm and intelligence but President Barack Obama! The speech was rivetting. As far a I am concerned he could have kept talking all afternoon.

How do those hecklers get in to these events anyways?
Not of that faith, but I so wanna respond to this, “Allah be praised.” But.I.Shall.Control.Myself.Because.It.Would.Not.Be.Helpful.
Bush would have put her in free speech cage a mile away.
Remember those ?

Done.
And the Band plays on…
It is a foregone conclusion. Congress should disband until 2014 – they could then spend 100% of their time plotting against their country. No need for terrorists with this level of hatred in the house.
Yes I remember . I also remember a couple being removed and arrested for wearing anti-Bush (or war ) t-shirts.
We… the taxpayers had to give them $85,000.00 to settle their lawsuit.
Wowzer:
It was a fantastic, measured approached. The respect and patience with which he handled that heckler was magnificent
! Obviously, she was there to make headlined for Code Pink, and NOT to listen to what he was saying, if she had been she would have shut up.
