The 5 Sunday shows would also rush to get Bibi, McCain, etc on to trash the agreement no doubt. They live for failure. But Our POTUS and his ADM keep moving FORWARD!
Bringing this over. Happiness that cannot be measured.
Tears here, so emotional. Thanks Chips for this wonderful community space and for everyone for being with me on this wonderful night.
NP….Side note…….. I’m hoping for the best possible outcome regarding, Derrick Rose. Been a fan of his since his Memphis days……..damn FT’s let the Jayhawks win.
Thank God for our President, VP & SOS, Kerry. This never would have happened under Hillary as SOS. I have been catching up on the comments, but have one helluva headache Megan & I are going to bed. Will check in later or in the Morning. Celebrate for me. One drink at a time. 🙂 🙂 🙂
When the going gets tough – PBO always delivers – What the media should be talking about is how much the US lost when they elected Bush for his second term. John Kerry delivers as SOS.
Just called my Iranian coworker…I was practically in tears:) So proud of all the hard work on the part of everyone that moved this to fruition. AWESOME NEWS!!!

I read this website every day, and I want to Thank Chips again for this site. Thanks also to the TOD Gang for your informative comments.
Chips give Danny another toy & bone. :o)
OMG, after a wonderful crazy day in Montana, it was our Brawl of the Wild, 113th meeting of the University of Montana and Montana State Football teams. We won, UM. This is very big in Montana. The whole state watches. This year it was in Bozeman so we weren’t there. Just at an all day party at our son’s.
I have tried to keep up on my Droid. The Geneva Talks are a BFD!!!!! I am almost in tears. We are so fortunate to be alive with this President.
And I thank all you wonderful people here who have kept us informed and for twitter. This is so fantastic. I will be here till we know.
BBC World brief summary over and out. CNNI on but concern trolling as though Israel’s fears are the most important thing.
Repeat from last thread: Nobel Peace Prize recipient, President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama. A leader and president like no other.
I cannot imagine this being done by GW Bush – there is NO way he could have done it – he had not the skills, nor the people in his administration, nor the interest, nor the understanding – he had nothing.
I understood your thoughts Nena 🙂 Just wanted to highlight the difference between the two Presidents – not to mention the media – who thought the Bush administration had a brain. I am sadly thinking about “What might have been” if John Kerry had won in 2004. Would probably be 12 months into the 1st term for PBO.
Exactly, Nena. No matter how great, how earthshaking, how momentous an accomplishment, if it’s done by President Obama, it’s unimportant in the eyes of our biased media. They are a sick joke. But we know and the world knows and right now that’s all that matters.
My gosh, this site is SO much “The Obama Diary”. Everything that happens with the US administration is here for the world to see. It will be archived into the “Obama Library” – of that there is no doubt.

What’s with the “faltering progress” when the headline says “historic deal” Weird media – or am I reading that incorrectly? I went to the article – it made little sense either

“We have reached agreement between E3+3 and Iran,” Michael Mann, spokesperson for European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton announced on Twitter at 3AM.
The press pool for US Secretary of State John Kerry a few minutes earlier departed for the Palais des Nations in anticipation of a signing ceremony there shortly.
This is the President we know and love. I can’t believe we have been able to follow this with no American TV. Our msm is pathetic. Laura Rosen is a journalist.
Once again, we are witnessing history. Silly thing to say, as history happens every day. But we’re witnessing a march of peace, rather than one of war. That counts.
Good will always prevail over evil. Tonight, this was tangibly manifested in Geneva.
May God abundantly bless those negotiators who opened their hearts and minds to let peace and goodness be their guiding star.
And may God bless and prosper Chips and this extraordinary (favourite adjective of PBO) obamadiary family. You are just amazing. Thank you for your determination to reveal the truth to the world.
Knew I’d be late to this, but after watching Rick Steves on Iran, and seeing just how warm and generous her people are, cannot help but be excited and giddy about this moment.
Kinda of like OBL, but joyous instead of vindictive.
A tweet was posted on an earlier thread that said everyone in Tehran was intently watching these negotiations even though it’s now 6 am (meaning the nation is pulling an all-nighter).
I sent my congrats to this chap who commented on one of @LRozen’s tweets yesterday.
@AzaliaGanji Congratulations to you and our world leaders! Everything I've seen about Iranian people say they are warm, welcoming, generous.
This photo and the song in my head opened the floodgates. It is such a blessing to be alive in the Age of Obama and an even bigger blessing to be alive and aware and not overcome by the vile propaganda that plagues our country. To be alive and appreciate the Age of Obama. I am overcome.
Yes, as a poke in the eye to the GOP. But for me this seems bigger in that it is going to immediately affect a whole population of a country that has lived in the shadows of the world because of their own leadership as well as paying for the sins of hostage takers generations ago.
“The chances of war have been dramatically reduced…” CNN reporter Shift in political alliances and working together to solve political issues in the region….
But they did hope for failure and no doubt will be reporting soon
1. Pete Souza is still taking away their photo opps
2. Why do I have to leave my bed/party/family or whatever to listen to the President at 10.15 in the evening
This is so thrilling! Those of us who remember the Iran hostage taking, and lived through all of that, and saw Iran close up…..then fight to join the community of nations…..and have watched PBO work on this for five years…..yes, we know he has been…..my stomach has butterflies with anticipation. So proud of SOS Kerry and the president, and all the negotiators…..Wow!
The fact that the U.S.Press is not there…..unbelievable! Pelley, Sawyer, Williams…..they ALL should be in Geneva!

Hi
Who knew that Sec Kerry had a press pool? Nothing I could find in the US press suggests such a thing.
OMG, I can’t believe we are witnessing this. And really it’s only because of twitter.
They have JFK taped progrqam on my CNN.. WTF is their deal?
None of the cable networks are carrying it. These networks are no longer news sources – they are Republican/Rovian propaganda machines….
TOTALLY. The one time I thought I would check it out. USELESS.
Same JFK reporting on bbc. Only crawls at the bottom.
aj is reporting on phillipines
CNNI perhaps? TeaNN US is pathetic.
I provided a live stream up thread, Forus. CNNi and Reuters…… both have been reporting since 9:00PM
thanks lp! I’m listening in.
NP….Side note…….. I’m hoping for the best possible outcome regarding, Derrick Rose. Been a fan of his since his Memphis days……..damn FT’s let the Jayhawks win.
Yeah, me too but it sure doesn’t look good.
Partial MCL 4-6wks, full 6-9 months…… won’t know until they open up his knee.
I feel so blessed to be alive in the Obama era!
Thank God for our President, VP & SOS, Kerry. This never would have happened under Hillary as SOS. I have been catching up on the comments, but have one helluva headache Megan & I are going to bed. Will check in later or in the Morning. Celebrate for me. One drink at a time. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank God for the quiet diplomacy of President Barack Obama & SOS John Kerry.
When the going gets tough – PBO always delivers – What the media should be talking about is how much the US lost when they elected Bush for his second term. John Kerry delivers as SOS.
Wonderful team. PBO, VP & SOS are great leaders. Proud to have voted twice for this administration.
Just called my Iranian coworker…I was practically in tears:) So proud of all the hard work on the part of everyone that moved this to fruition. AWESOME NEWS!!!
That is Fantastic Chips. Awesome.
woot! thank you mr president!
Chipsticks – that is so appropriate at this important time in the World!!!
I would think this is breaking news – CNN and MSNBC, nothing! Our msm is pathetic 😦

I watched the Israel talk for 30 seconds – “This is very important – but Israel!”
FOX is live with Geneva with an African American female news anchor. I might just watch it until they bring on some nut.
Harris Faulkner? She was once an Anchor at the MN ABC Local News.
FOX is reporting that POTUS might make a statement. WHPC has been called in.
Tears of gratitude for the privilege of living in ‘interesting’ times, the high light of which is President Barack Obama!
Thanks to Chips and the fab TOD community…THE place for NEWS!
Now I’m gonna crack open a beer before I collapse in a puddle.
Another historic night in the Obama presidency!!!! OMG, I can’t believe this is breaking decades of paralysis!!
Imagine, had this been done by GW Bush?
Dancing in the streets by the Corporate Media, right about Now.
Long Live Pres Barack Obama ❗
I cannot imagine this being done by GW Bush – there is NO way he could have done it – he had not the skills, nor the people in his administration, nor the interest, nor the understanding – he had nothing.
I share your comments 1001%. I speak of the lack of US National Media Coverage.
I understood your thoughts Nena 🙂 Just wanted to highlight the difference between the two Presidents – not to mention the media – who thought the Bush administration had a brain. I am sadly thinking about “What might have been” if John Kerry had won in 2004. Would probably be 12 months into the 1st term for PBO.
But the good thing is this deal is for the common man and woman.
Exactly, Nena. No matter how great, how earthshaking, how momentous an accomplishment, if it’s done by President Obama, it’s unimportant in the eyes of our biased media. They are a sick joke. But we know and the world knows and right now that’s all that matters.

Karim Sadjapour on CNNI just trolled Congress: “If congress didn’t want to give Obama authority for pinprick strikes against Syria, is it really willing to go to war against Iran?”
CNN is on the air with breaking news…….
well excuse me….FINALLY.
It was a quick news break, they went back to the JFK story.
for about 3 minutes max to interview a reporter in Geneva. Back to JFK.
I’m sorry, but this just made me laugh out loud ….in derision. I suppose it is just ‘breaking’ for them! 🙄
What’s with the “faltering progress” when the headline says “historic deal” Weird media – or am I reading that incorrectly? I went to the article – it made little sense either
99ts, it’s as if the writer was either schizophrenic or misinformed or the headline writer knew more than the actual reporter.
Or more adjectives from that list of “how to make a positive event look negative” They do it all the time.
I am betting this deal will serve as proof to the RWNJs of PBO being Muslim.

This is the President we know and love. I can’t believe we have been able to follow this with no American TV. Our msm is pathetic. Laura Rosen is a journalist.
Kerry too! Also the other five leaders…..
Once again, we are witnessing history. Silly thing to say, as history happens every day. But we’re witnessing a march of peace, rather than one of war. That counts.
That is the real point, Ll.
Peace overcoming War.
CNN talking about how sad Bibi would be….he will NOT be happy…he was busy talking to Putin.. Fucker
HEAD”S UP FOR PBO…ETA 10:15pm EST to make a statement
He wasted his time talking to Putin. Putin wanted this deal.
Those were CNN’s words, not mine…just to clarify. I hope that Putin wanted the deal.
The war-mongering corrupt asshole can go cry his heart out.
I hope so! Literally!
At the link LL shared above the reporters are saying that Bibi is likely now to try and make sure the deal never becomes permanent.
So cnn knows about it maybe after Kennedy trubute?
They are repeating that 100X now?
Seriously TeaNN?
Good will always prevail over evil. Tonight, this was tangibly manifested in Geneva.
May God abundantly bless those negotiators who opened their hearts and minds to let peace and goodness be their guiding star.

Hope and Change.
Change has Not ONLY come to America. It has Come to the World.
FORWARD!
That’s the link I meant to post. Thank you, hf!
Knew I’d be late to this, but after watching Rick Steves on Iran, and seeing just how warm and generous her people are, cannot help but be excited and giddy about this moment.
Kinda of like OBL, but joyous instead of vindictive.
Awww … this was such a nice comment!
“Then came President Obama!”
Just lovely.
A tweet was posted on an earlier thread that said everyone in Tehran was intently watching these negotiations even though it’s now 6 am (meaning the nation is pulling an all-nighter).
I sent my congrats to this chap who commented on one of @LRozen’s tweets yesterday.
Glad to have tuned out the MSM, who will spin this as another failure, just like Syria/Russia was a debacle in their wee minds in Aug/Sept.
President Obama to make a statement in about 45 minutes around 10:15PM
Now, the question is: Will the Israelis be stupid enough to take matters in their own hands and strike Iran?
Wow!!
Imagine 😉
This photo and the song in my head opened the floodgates. It is such a blessing to be alive in the Age of Obama and an even bigger blessing to be alive and aware and not overcome by the vile propaganda that plagues our country. To be alive and appreciate the Age of Obama. I am overcome.
Just amazing that those two met. So much hope and tragedy in one photo.
Blackout???
Israel’s #1 security threat: a nuclear Iran
Middle East’s #1 threat: A nuclear Israel
(posted on an earlier thread):
This feels just a little tiny bit like the night they got OBL.
Yes, as a poke in the eye to the GOP. But for me this seems bigger in that it is going to immediately affect a whole population of a country that has lived in the shadows of the world because of their own leadership as well as paying for the sins of hostage takers generations ago.
Yes, but joyous, not vindictive (said this upthread too).
Back then I followed alot of MSM who were clueless and basically a clusterf***.
And PBO’s statement is happening about the same time, right? Except on Saturday, not Sunday night.
MSNBC is covering it now.
Thanks Lynn 😉
Sorry about that, Nena. They’re back in prison now.
As soon as I tore myself off and turned to MSNBC, they had their Lockup garbage.
I am sorry too.
IMPEACH, Africa. Impeaachment.
Those who hate this……We The People Should ask them WHY? What is your solution?
SO exciting! So proud of our President and SoS and appreciative of TOD’s coverage of this!
I am sitting here fighting tears. What we are witnessing in this historic week. So much has happened this week it is so hard to take it all end.
Let the Tears roll. Happy Tears a great ways to relax.
My shaking fingers are now calm.
And DON’T depend on getting your news from the ‘traditional’ news media. I can only get the real story from these interwebs. WE ARE THE MEDIA.
I am so grateful to be able to walk on this journey with President Barack H. Obama as our president!!!!
Isn’t this so beyond words that we are all together sharing our gratefulness for this President. We are truly blessed.
WOW. Just WOW.
Hands on!
No Woman, No Cry 😉
Ann Lowery, Hmm?
Are those Nikes that the chief of staff is wearing?

Just Do It.

Glad you are back. We need your wonderful tweets.
Thank you Marilyn. It was really difficult being in that meeting and not being online!!! Good meeting though … 🙂
Ms Chips, you have cleaned up your record! You are wide awake for THIS momentous occasion – wonder if Danny had any hand …oops…paw in this? 😀
😆 That just struck me VC, the first HUGE night-time event when I haven’t been snoring!!!!
So glad you are with us, Chips, since you created these magnificent community, you should certainly be savoring the momentous event, in real-time 🙂
🙂 I was thinking the same.
Just got home and tuning in here with y’all for this exciting news. Thrilling! Anxiously awaiting our president’s statement.
Of course they didn’t plan for success ….
Kaboom. Truth as timely reported. Thanks Ali Gharib.
But they did hope for failure and no doubt will be reporting soon
1. Pete Souza is still taking away their photo opps
2. Why do I have to leave my bed/party/family or whatever to listen to the President at 10.15 in the evening
LL, this is an astonishing level incompetence on the part Of AJ English, Skye News, and BBC World. It’s a true dereliction of duty.
Great tweet, AMK.
Sheer brilliance, amk!!!!
BOOM!
But the WHPC Photo Journos……they were not invited……Yeah……Too darn bad.
