Good question.
Many Dems are going to have to ask those questions and Loudly. Congress has Israel blindspot. I get it. But if your passport says: USA, then Our Security is Job Number One.
Is it really as simple as this…
A F R I C A , Africa Congrats on your Gold ❗
Awesome UT. Thanks.
Diplomacy is Not a Child’s play. Funny how the TBGOPers love to talk of wars…..none is willing to serve or have their kids serve.
Hiya Nena. Thanks!! This one’s by LovelyPlains 🙂 🙂
Thanks for the Correction. I had UT on my mind…..R&S post and all.
Pardon me LP. Thanks for your Post. Fantastic 😉
Hey Africa, it looks like it is Now just You and Moi at TOD Nation 😉 Hmm?
Yup. And I am going to be off to do my charity work, picking citrus fruits to donate to food banks, etc. And lordy, it is cold out here. See ya.
The same media who helped to derail Kerry’s campaign back in 2004 are now getting their comeuppance. Who’s talking about GWB now? No one!!!
Oh, yeah!! It all comes out in the wash!
Hate when repeated 24/7 is contagious.
Thank Goodness their illness is covered by ACA. Obama Cares, period.
you would think!
Hello again. Congrats Africa and thanks LP for another great thread.
LP, thanks for the photo coverage!
I am so proud of the hard work all have done on this agreement and President Obama leading the Team!
wouldn’t this suggest that the Israeli people are supportive of this? That their confidence has risen in a peaceful resolution so they feel more confident in selling and trading?
Look! I think we found the original Caraboo Barbie. Or maybe Sarah’s the reincarnate of this other “fake princess”. LOL!
Caraboo, the Fake Princess
Wikimedia
In 1817, one young woman caused quite a stir in Bristol and notoriously fashionable spa town, Bath, England: Princess Caraboo, the daughter of the ruler of Javasu, a Malaysian island nation. Caraboo was a charming collection of exotic dress, habits and language; she had a lovely figure, fine features, and appeared to understand very little of English culture—when confronted with a bed, for example, she didn’t know what to do with it. So imagine everyone’s shock when it turned out that the captivating royal foreigner wasn’t from as far away as Malaysia—she was barely from as far away as the next county. “Princess Caraboo” and indeed, Javasu itself, was an elaborate fiction created by Mary Baker, daughter of a Devonshire cobbler endowed with a tremendous imagination and a near-pathological tendency to lie.
UT,
This is a great video clip from Reuters of the hugs and handshakes after the signing last night that the press is using still photos from – don’t know if you want to post up top. I think some folks may have missed this last night.as of course it wasn’t on any US cable channels.

TY, Forus! I added a link to the video under the Joint Picture of the FM’s and Lady Ashton.
ROTFLMAO!
😆 I adore Eric soooooo much I could actually eat him!
His tweets are hilarious, and so on-point at the same time!!
I love that picture. To analyze this picture is certainly worthy of a MBA Thesis.
great!

Btw, have we ever seen a party actively try to undermine US foreign diplomacy the way today’s GOP does?
—————————————————————–
No, LH, we haven’t. That kind of undermining used to be called Treason. Now the media just shrugs and calls it “politics.” However, it walks like treason, talks like treason and acts like treason, so I call it what it is.
Woot! Tod’s foreign correspondent is back from vacation and posting again! Way to go, LPlains! Thanks.
LOL….. My pleasure VC, and thank you TOD for the kind words! They are very much appreciated 🙂
As are you, LP ~ very much appreciated!
😎
Hello there, friend! Were you checking out the Geneva situation on line last night? What a wonderful ‘start’, eh?
Beautiful!!
TY, JO’B. A quiet mini pet peeve of mine is that we Libs (generally speaking) are often quick and relentless in our criticisms of our guys/gals, yet slower and not quite as persistent in our pats on the shoulder. So I try to remember to specifically say ‘thanks’.
Good practice, VC!
😀
I followed a little bit yesterday, now I’m diving in and catching up on everything. It’s a little bit chilly here in central VA so I’ve snuggled up and will be reading, reading, reading for the rest of the afternoon as I keep an eye on the laundry and the crockpot. 🙂
How are you, VCkins?
Cold. And lazily trying to convince myself if I don’t look out the window I won’t have to go and clear the thick snow from the driveway. Other than that, I’m absolutely fine. Final load of laundry is in the washer, vegetables already prepared and ready for a stir fry dinner, and I’m hanging out in the village. What more could I possibly need? 😉
Snow! Ah, just let it melt, lol. Good to hear all is well. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
THAT is exactly *my* first choice too, PJ. You and I do have a lot in common. 😉 Problem is there’s so much I might get stuck in the driveway IF I have to go in to work tomorrow. Not that I’m going to spoil my TOD time now worrying about that. 😀 😀
Thick snow 😯
It’s pretty though. The sun reflects beautifully off of it, and it’s almost pristine (Offspring had to walk through to get to the street on his way to church). 😀
I can *look at* beautiful snow up on the mountain tops while it’s 75 F degrees down where I’m at 🙂
Tut! Tut! Tut! You have no sense of adventure, GGail. /smh/ Are you going to climb up the mountain to pick up the snow and feel its weight, and the crisp coldness of it on your finger tips? Can you see the beauty of the different patterns of some of the flakes from so far away? Did you know it’s said that every snowflake is different?
Oh yes, VC, those are fond memories I keep of my time living in Detroit. And I’m gonna keep them as just that….memories 😀
Tee-hee-hee!
Oh, alright; always knew I’m not a good enough salesperson. 😛
But, you’re definitely a very good person VC!
Or a very TRYING one! 😀
Yes….that too! LOL!!!
Thanks, VC. That photo shows a whole lot of respect of the president by his SOS. Kerry is focusing on every word the president says–there is no question who is calling the shots.
Hi JG. I never even thought of that aspect of it when I grabbed the pic. 😉
The United States began a tentative outreach shortly after Mr Obama’s inauguration in January 2009. Mr Obama and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, exchanged letters, but the engagement yielded no results.
In the end, it was efforts to win the release of three American hikers who had strayed across the Iranian border which led to the clandestine diplomacy.
Oman’s Sultan Qaboos was a key player, facilitating the release of the hikers in late 2010 and 2011 and then offering himself as a mediator for a US-Iran rapprochement. The secret informal discussions between mid-level officials in Washington and Tehran began.

POTUS is a 3 point shooter. Long Game is how he plots and thinks. Time and time again, it pays off.
Amen!
I was in the midst of commenting on someone’s post and I had to look up a spelling. Lost the post. Anyway I think it’s important to understand Diplomacy and what it was like in the past. Nixon was trying to end the war in Vietnam. His campaign promise. Didn’t work out too well. Yardarm might remember the details better than me. But if RWNJs and emoprogs declare this agreement doesn’t accomplish much remind them of the Paris Peace talks. Peace with honor was Nixon and Kissinger’s slogan. Do you know they negotiated for months on seating arrangements alone? They stopped and started those talks so many times it was crazy. If anyone thinks Henry Kissinger deserved the Noble Peace prize I think they are crazy. He was a conservative. Not all winners are liberals. They talked him up big time. Called him sexy, etc. Similar to what they did with Rumsfeld. Barbra Walters was in love with him, but he grabbed a young one. 😉 If you had a loved one in the military you payed attention. Especially if you were pregnant with your first child. Repugs have and always will be hypocrites. There hasn’t been a decent one since Pres. Eisenhower. He was counted by both Dems and Repugs to join their party. He wasn’t political. The time for Diplomacy won’t take the ten years and trillions of dollars the war in Iraq did. Rant done.
Great rant CarolMae! I agree with Laura Rozen’s tweet. If you are complaining about this agreement you didn’t want any. I do remember those negotiations in Paris taking so long and I don’t think anyone really understood what they accomplished. If you remember those last flights out of Vietnam, it wasn’t peace with honor.
Thanks Marilyn. We must be around the same age. I didn’t have access to a lot of newspapers or TV stations, but I heard and saw enough.
I turned 67 in April. I was a junior when Kennedy was shot. I remember the Cuba crisis.
I guess six years makes a big difference when your young because I was eleven. Sixth grade I guess. Plus living on a farm in a rural community is very different from a collage town. As I got older I thought we were probably ten years behind fashion, music etc. 😉
Carol Mae, I also remember that it took THREE YEARS to negotiate an end of hostilities in the Korean War. As a kid I remember thinking what on earth could they think to talk about for three years. It seemed absolutely crazy to me. But that’s what diplomacy is all about–glacial progress and infinite patience. This process appeared to go faster because of all the meticulous groundwork laid by the Obama administration as Nena said above.
P.S. When I was a kid there was a news agency across the street from where I lived. Everyday, I would pass by and see the headlines from the New York papers and that was the way I got news since we didn’t subscribe to these papers and didn’t yet have tv. It’s amazing how those headlines have stuck in my mind. That’s how I knew about the Korean peace talks and the Rosenberg executions and other big events of the day.
Wow! The Nations we’re dealing with will were one down. Repubs just don’t have the patience. So happy were in the age of Pres. Obama. I don’t watch TV for news unless it’s important breaking news. There’s not I could have watched last night while we were waiting to hear the news. And then they cut of Kerry’s speech I’ve heard. I’d be lost without TOD.
I always thought when I got older we were probably ten years behind in fashion, music, etc.
OH HAPPY DAY! “Blessed are the Peacemakers” indeed.
What an incredibly gifted, extraordinarily competent, and deeply visionary President, Secretary of State, and diplomatic team we have! Once again Barack Obama proves that the Nobel Peace Prize was more than appropriate. And John Kerry thrives in the job of which he has always dreamed.
THIS is what excellence in governance looks like and I’m so glad to be witnessing this history in the making!
Amen! Love it all.
YES, PJ.
I’m sure Americans will be at the airport to welcome Secretary Kerry home, too.
JO’B, that would be nice, but I’d be very surprised to see it happen. (North) Americans seem only invested that way in their sport teams.
Yep. I was being facetious, but – if I could – I’d be there. And I’m sure if I turned around and looked, we’d all be there, in our hearts!
No problem – we are with this team in our hearts, and I certainly hope they can ‘feel’ this.
wish we could do the same for SoS Kerry and his team
I do, as well!
Well JOB, at this point, Kerry is probably so exhausted he just wants to get home to Teresa. Both he and his wife have fine children and are probably grandparents at this point. I hope he and his whole family have a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving. He has earned it many thousands of times over.
So true, jackieG. I plan to thank my lucky stars this Thanksgiving for people like President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary Kerry, and the families who support them!
great collection of pics LP! Wonderful post – thanks! 😀
We will keep finding out WHAT each public figure is all about and who supports their crazy ideas
Just writing another periodic thank you for the exquisite coverage of the PBO presidency which this site continues to offer. It’s greatly appreciated by us lurkers!
Hello there, GN! Nice to see you sticking your head in for a chat. 😀
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE ELECTED BARACK OBAMA.
President Obama Ushering In World Peace, Corporate Media Shrugs
by Mr. Brink
————————–
The president earned every bit of his Nobel Peace Prize this weekend, which should drive his buffoonish critics to new lows to explain away his mastery of presidential politics on the world stage.
You’ve never seen anything like this before, America. ‘Hope and Change’ are alive and well, despite the best efforts of saboteurs and the cynics to see it destroyed.
This is exactly why we elected Barack Obama.

Good over Evil…..Bob Marley sang in It’s Too Rude.
Is it any wonder these saboteurs use LUCKY, never can find any credit for this POTUS, are quick to accuse him of all sorts of things. They constantly underestimating him. WHY?
They don’t see POTUS as themselves. Hence their severe case of ODS. It is an illness. They see the OTHER.
We The People of Goodwill, see a POTUS ❗
LH, when Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, I told a friend of mine that he was a political genius, one rarely found in history. At the time I meant this within the context of the American political scene, but he has now shown us that he is a genius in worldwide politics as well. He is truly one of the most astonishingly brilliant politicians and statesmen in history.
response to the tweet is a great sentiment!
The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 was awarded to Barack H. Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”.
Thorbjorn Jagland, Leader of Noble Committee.
2009 Nobel Peace Prize Lecture by Barack Obama
Thank you…..for posting this…
When i voted for our extraordinary President…I did not know how extraordinary he would be…I am so very aware at how fortunate we are to not only here in America but in the world to have Barack Obama as the President of these United States of America!!!
YES WE CAN!
i can’t tell you the number of times I have listened to this Nobel Peace Prize Lecture. It’s brilliant. I could listen to President Obama speak all day. The pragmatism and wisdom that flows from that beautiful baritone is a tremendous source of comfort for me. He really is a remarkable man. It is sad that so many in this country are so blinded by their hate that they can’t see the true measure of the man. It’s their loss. PBO continues to make his critics look petty and small.
YES!
http://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2013/11/deal-real/74399/
Every president since Jimmy Carter has tried to make a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. None have succeeded. President Barack Obama just did. The deal to limit and begin to roll back Iran’s nuclear program may be the most important foreign policy success of his tenure.
It starts with a single step, and it is an important one. The first phase of the agreement just reached in Geneva makes it much more difficult for Iran to dash for a bomb. It also begins to lock down the nuclear program that has plagued United States officials for over ten years.
many will try to trivialize PBO’s achievement

“Double Down” Was Written for Morning Joe—Not Posterity
http://prospect.org/article/double-down-was-written-morning-joe—not-posterity
Ugliness can only be tolerated for so much. One of the authors on Mojo called POTUS a di*k on Live TV and then pens a book? Now how credible can the book be?
Actually, shoud be “pens a second book.” The authors earned a $5 million advance to write “Double Down” after the original “Game Change” won the authors an Emmy.
NBC/MSNBC does not discipline Mark “Dick” Halperin (wrist-slap suspension for a few days).
NBC/MSNBC does not discipline upChuck Todd at all when he flips someone on air. He has not been demoted, despite having given up all pretense of impartiality. Churlish does not begin to describe upChuck’s tone when he speaks of our President.
CBS has not demoted or disciplined Lara Logan, despite the fact that her Benghazi report “investigated for a year” was a web of lies.

Duke Energy’s guilty plea in bird deaths at wind farms a first
No form of energy generation, or human activity for that matter, is completely free of impacts, and wind energy is no exception,” the American Wind Energy Association said in a statement.
The case against Duke Energy and Duke Energy Renewables Inc. was the first prosecuted under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act against a wind energy company. The Obama administration has championed pollution-free wind power and used the same law against oil companies and power companies for drowning and electrocuting birds.
“In this plea agreement, Duke Energy Renewables acknowledges that it constructed these wind projects in a manner it knew beforehand would likely result in avian deaths,” Robert G. Dreher, acting assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, said in a statement.
Duke has a market capitalization of nearly $50 billion.
Thanks for clearing that up desertflower, I didn’t know that Duke Energy knowingly built wind turbines in such a way that went against the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Totally fine, Don:) Glad to find the link to share.
They got $50 billion dollars but they can’t or won’t comply with a “Bird Treaty,” they’re either blinded by greed or corruption.

TELL YOUR SENATORS: DON’T UNDERMINE IRAN NEGOTIATIONS WITH NEW SANCTIONS
While 62% of American Jews support the way President Obama is handling Iran’s nuclear program, organizations that claim to represent the American Jewish community are undermining his approach by pushing for new and harsher penalties against Iran.
The outcome of the talks set to resume in Geneva on November 20 is far from certain, but new sanctions will definitively bring the process to a halt.
Hawkish organizations working to undermine a nuclear agreement are making their voices heard. Let’s make sure that the voice of the pro-diplomacy majority rings louder. Tell your Senators that now is not the time for new sanctions.
Let them try to undermine the Iran Negotiations, President Obama can and will use his veto power.
as we get into the spirit of the holiday season, some are raising questions that make me pause and think very deeply
here is some food (pardon the word) for thought
great question – I need to ponder this more regularly
WTF, GQ!!! http://www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/celebrities/free/20131124obama-cyrus-gqs-least-influential-list.html
Dennis Rodman is at the top of a list no one wants to be on at all. He’s been named GQ magazine’s No. 1 least influential celebrity of 2013.
The 52-year-old former basketball player who has visited Kim Jong Un in North Korea was the top pick in the magazine’s third annual list of the least influential celebrities, which also includes twerking pop star Miley Cyrus, President Barack Obama and celebrity chef Paula Deen.
Obama came in at No. 17 because “nothing gets done.”
Maybe someone should REMIND GQ of the accomplishments of this President!! In light of the fact that the CONSTANT OBSTRUCTION FROM THE GOP IS THE REASON WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO GET DONE! Freaking idiots.
President Obama appearing on this list infuriates me like nothing else has this year. It’s a clear demonstration that the media is worthless. They can’t even keep themselves informed. I find myself often looking forward to the end of this presidency, because it will [hopefully] mean the end of the abuse, disrespect and ungratefulness directed toward this stellar President.
My problem with thinking about the end of this presidency is thinking of all the damage the next president can do in undoing what did get done by this president. Maybe we need to do a boycott of GQ magazine for poor judgement and research.

I loooooove the photo of SoS Kerry getting of the plane in Geneva!
the look on his face is very serious (as usual) but the gait & fashion is very “Obama-like” or GQ
John Kerry will go down in US history as one of our most extraordinary statesmen.
I don’t know if you had seen a video of SoS Kerry tearing up as he was asked by Tom B. of NBC news; where was he when he heard that JFK had been killed. He was at Harvard playing football International style. It teared me up too. He is a nice man from what I have read about him.
No I haven’t seen the video, but wanted to see it because I heard about it. I will check out the You Tube and see what I find. 🙂
I thought the same thing…gcl. Seems like these two men just have an inner elegance that shows up on the outside…looks absolutely effortless.
However, it is because inside they are good men and committed to working for the world. As many of us have said, this is the job Sec Kerry was born for….yet, think how much better the world would be now if he had won in 2004! We saw him in the January before the election, in OKC, he was none of the things the press said about him: aloof, didactic, stiff, uninterested…..we were very close to him, and saw him very well. We were very impressed. We still are.
If “Snow Snookie” is unhappy, I’m ecstatic! This is a hoot:)

John Cornyn Is Bad for America
By Chez Pazienza
—————————————-
This is where we are now. This is why this country is ungovernable and basically is broken beyond repair: because people like John Cornyn hate their political adversaries more than they love America. There’s no victory for the United States that hardcore Republicans can share in if it means giving an ounce of credit to Barack Obama.
.
.
As long as Barack Obama is in the White House, every American victory will continue to be met with suspicion and derision from assholes like John Cornyn. And every American tragedy will be seen as an opportunity to score cheap political points. And all of it will continue to be what it is right now: bad for this country.
