The Obama Diary 
Aside from reforming healthcare, ending wars, and saving the global financial system, what the hell has Obama ever done for us?
And what the hell has he done for us, besides all that and saving the American auto industry?
My grandfather, born in 1885, was a coal miner in Pennsylvania – his dad sent him into the mines at age 11 to help support the family. Once when his mine wasn’t hiring much, in the 1930s – when he was married and had four children to support – he’d walk to another town to look for work. He went there each day to stand in line to see if he could be hired. After the third day in line, the “boss” said to him, something like, “I’ve watched you walk here and try for a job for three days in a row. If you come back tomorrow, I’ll hire you.” And my grandfather did and got hired.
Seventy-plus years later, my mother was still telling these deeply ingrained family stories and for the first time told me she “hated” her grandfather for making her dad go into the mines at 11, and hated the “boss” who made him walk to another town four days in a row for a job in the mines. And sometimes she cursed like a sailor and it wasn’t pretty language – Ha!
Just a couple of the reasons why I totally support unions and Democrats!!!!
Wow. That’s a fascinating family history you’ve got there, Ms. J’OB.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading it, sugar (since I repeat my stories over and over – Ha!). #Can’tStopMe
So interesting, thanks JoB – especially since I’ve been researching family who lived in Carbon, Pennsylvania (and I’m still coming to terms with the name of the county). Even in those times they all used to lie on the census – every 11 year old in the country would be listed as “at school” – and no doubt most were working in the mines.
My mother was pro labor/unions all her life – never really discussed her reasons – I used to have a quiet laugh as I’m sure she voted opposite to my father in her later years – he kept moving further right – while she did the opposite – but she never would talk about it if he was around.
Some of the older women were like that – hush hush with the voting!
Saved many arguments 🙂
Great post on Obamacare! This job-lock issue is a big deal. We all need to write a letter to our local paper explaining how it’s good for Americans and will make it easier to be an entrepreneur, scale back to part-time work for family reasons, or to leave a hated job when you’re 60-64 (prior to getting Medicare). More boomers with peace of mind leaving the workforce will open up more jobs for young people trying to pay off their student loans. The media has certainly colluded with the GOP to distort the CBO report!
But since many Americans aren’t aware that the Republicans swore to destroy his presidency as he was taking office in 2009, Obama explained what’s really going on. He talked about what he’s done so far to help create more opportunity and then swore to keep doing it (cue the Republican heads exploding, where are the Democrats who jumped in fear at a GOP finger pointed their way?).
The President said, “So when you hear me talk about using my pen and my phone to make a difference for middle class Americans and those working to get into the middle class, that’s what I mean.”
Great and encouraging round-up, NW. I read these and am reminded again of the pollution you and Chips and LL, et al, have to walk through daily to offer up this daylight. We don’t forget – thank you!!!
Good morning TOD friends. I totally agree Kathleen. I applaud Chips and everyone who exhibit the courage to wade through all of the muck to keep us informed with the good stuff happening. The media only focus on the negative, and there are so many positive news and testimonies about the ACA and other things.
Hear Hear!!!
Thank you for the kind words, Kathleen.
Thank you, Kathleen.
Meant to include amk!!
Just tried to post unsuccessfully.
Keep up with the good news about the ACA ( Obamacare ). I listen to FLOTUS on Tom Joyner yesterday and the administration need to keep FLOTUS talking to young people about signing up for Obamacare.
NW – Yo! Stop with all the ACA success stories, already! I’m practically choking up over here!
Thank you, President Obama and Democrats!!!!! #GOTV2014 And thank you, NW!
😀
The law is such a life changer.
Now that I was successful saying I was unsuccessful I will try again. Glad I am with you today as I am snowbound this day which is my birthday. Got some Skype calls from my kids and will watch the Olympics and drop in here from time to time today.
Happy Birthday Obama Grandmama ~ Have a wonderful day 🙂 Wish I could watch the Olympics, but no teevee & can’t watch online without a service provider apparently … so have fun watching !
So glad you made it “in,” Obama Grandmama, and I wish you a very happy – although snowbound – birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Even though I am snowbound I feel like I am with family being able to read and participate in this family of Obama supporters.
Happy Birthday Obama Grandmama. Enjoy the day and launch a great year.
We’re the Obama-supportin’ family, that’s for sure!
Haaaaaaaaappy Birthday Obama Grandmama, wishing you a gazillion more!!
Happy Birthday Obama Grandmama!!!! Wishing you many more!!!
Happy Birthday, Obama Grandmama. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Wow! Love my cake and who is delivering it!
Happy Birthday Obama Grandmama! Hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing day – even if snowbound! 🙂
A very Happy Birthday to you, Obama Grandmama! Many more 🙂
Happy, happy Birhday, OG. It’s not fair to be snowbound on your birthday, but I hope you can have some fun anyway? We we had to flying sleigh to get to you with treats and presents. Oh well, imagine it done!
Happy Birthday, Obama Grandma! Sorry about you being snowbound, but I hope you enjoy your day.
Happy Birthday To YOU Obama Grandmama. Best of Wishes.
Happy birthday Obama Grandmama – enjoy it!
A sweet and beautiful Happy Birthday, Obama Grandmama!!!! May you relax and enjoy a warm cup of tea/your favorite and enjoy every moment of your special day. {{{{{{{{{ Lots of happiness to you on your day}}}}}}}}HZ
great to see thath the NC students are also hitting the streets for MoralMarch
FYI for the self-proclaimed and aspiring Nerds & Geeks on TOD and others who may want to wish Mr. Nimoy a fast recovery;
Almost 14 million people have signed up for Obamacare/Medicaid/CHIP. How in the hell are the Republicans going to stop this avalanche from coming down the mountain?
And I laugh.
Sing along! It’ll be comin’ down the mountain when it comes… : )
I’m old enough to remember when cartoonist Matt Wureker was emo before there were emos. Glad to see he’s matured.
President Obama has declared a Year of Action mentioning his pen and phone.
Also, his signing table and chair which seem to be regular features of the president’s appearances around our country.
I like it. Props are good. And PBO and his team have always been terrific at stagecraft.
And all of those props will be in the Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Library one fine day!
More action by PBO and his team….
What a fantastic collection of tweets Nerdy, Obamacare flippin’ rocks!!! Thank you Mrs Hazard!!
Thanks, Chips!
Funny thing about me: when I feel like caca, I become super nice to my patrons, because I don’t want my ill health to impact my work, so I overcompensate. I’m sweet as molasses right now.
Too funny. Keep us posted how long it lasts.
I thought about this too…
😆
😉
Good For Them!!!

We need to dunk him in some clarifying liquids.
bleach would be a good start; what an ignoramous….and to think of those Floridians on the ship 2 years ago scrambling to get to their room so they could listen to that POS!!!!!
You’ll never get that memory of the RWNJs on the cruise outta your head, BCFFAA! Well, I hope you do!
Remember we have POTUS and they have nothing but that POS and the horse he rode in on. Yeehaw!
he needs to get back on that horse and “get outta dodge”
Exactly! Pronto!
Another rallying cry for all of us: We refuse to be bystanders to history! Go, President Obama and AG Holder!
This is HUGE!!!!!
It FRONT Page on HuffPost now.
HuffPost…..remember…..Arianna was once married to a Gay American GOPer. HuffPost is Usually okay with advocating for the LGBTQ stories.
Oops, It’s…….
They were very critical of PBO during the 2010 era when he was trying to get DADT repealed via congress and not EO…
And neither PBO nor Eric Holder are mentioned in the headline. If the opposite were true, not only would they be named, but their pictures would be displayed front and center. HuffnPuff does not care to show this administration in a positive light.
Not just HuffPo – every media outlet in the country
Yes, we will offer you beer and poutine upon your arrival!
Whiskey for me, please.
We don’t need to invite Canada, just tell them that along with the medals they won please take Ted Cruz and Justin Bieber back.
Being Canadian, we do not want them back!
Layla……:)
Take some time and think about it Layla.
Nope! It’s a done deal!
Speaking of Justin Bieber I came across a article were the First Lady were talking about what she would do if she was his Mother. If I knew how to post it up here I would, but I’m no good at things like that. And she didn’t say she would send him back to Canada.
Then we will send our drone air force and bombard you with Bieber and Morrissette songs.
Nice
The fact that they both live here in L.A. decreases our cool factor by several notches.
pardon?
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!!!!!
All Canadian librarians, prepare for battle!
Scary! #HittingThemWithABannedBook?
have to order from texas…lol
Order several bazillion, so none of our kids see them!
In my TL I keep seeing tweets and pics of new OFA fellows, activity and citizenship. It’s a good day for OFA 🙂
Just wrote a similar comment downthread … great day and some good coverage by/from OFA!
Sushi ad makes fun of Olympic ring fail…
I decided to take a quick peek at two emoprog sites (Old Orange and HuffnPuff) to see how they were treating the “Eric Holder” news…
1) Nothing on Old Orange (may be a bit early, but still)….
2) Huffnpuff mentions it in a small perfunctory headline “Same-Sex Couples to Receive More Federal Privileges” but as you can see, are careful to not mention either AG Holder or PBO in the headline. Of course, we know that if the opposite had happened, there would be a screaming Red- 96 font headline with NAMES & manipulated pictures of both AG Holder & PBO.
Rachel will cover it
OFA tweets today about all the new Fellows across the country are magnificent!
…while being called “homophobe” and receiving ZERO accolades from certain LGBT organizations.
Good advice! #BlueHouse
seems that there are more people who are tired of the routinely annoying proclamations of “PBO’s ‘real base’ or perpetual lefty-whiners” who will constantly threaten POTUS but NEVER lift any finger to do the real hard work that needs to be done on the streets;
his words speak for themselves:
Looking for a robot candidate, are you man!!!!!!!
Yep ….
sorry if this posts twice, but I can’t find the first post.
Wow. Unbelievable.
That is Fantastic.
Hopefruit2, GLAAD roils my ass like nothing else. President Obama damn near spends all of his political capital on marriage equality and Obamacare and these ungrateful motherfuckers from GLAAD have the unmitigated gall to award Bill and Hillary their highest honors. Next thing you know they’ll be awarding Chelsea a lifetime achievement award. These motherfuckers at GLAAD should have gotten down on their goddamn knees a long ago and proclaimed President Obama the greatest advocate they ever had, but no, it’s almost like they go out of their way to do or say anything remotely positive to or about President Obama. I am so fucking tired of these slights, when Bill Clinton was President he didn’t do a fucking thing to help our gay brothers and sisters serving in the military, he didn’t do a goddamn thing to promote marriage equality. But the guy that actually did do something about marriage equality and DADT, that guy, they don’t show any respect or appreciation.
p.s. I appologize for my language to anyone that I offended now or in the future.
Their banner should read “GLAAD You’re White”!
When I read that post about awarding Hillary it made me wonder if they plan to give Hillary credit for all of PBO’s accomplishments. I flashed back to Hillary bragging about being involved with bringing peace in Ireland during the campaign. The Irish countered with info that she was only having tea with a women’s group. I will have a hard time voting for Hillary if her supporters start discrediting our guy.
Don you are telling the truth – so preach on! And GLAAD deserves all the mockery they’re getting on Twitter right now.
Yikes Africa, sorry about that, just found a few of your comments stuck in spam, have noooooooo clue why! Found and freed!
Chips, I also posted a comment with a link for annieb but it did not show up x2; I posted a second time thinking I made a mistake the first time…
Hi Layla, can’t find anything by you in spam, must have been another ANNOYING glitch where the comment didn’t go through. Sooooooo infuriating!
TY Chips!
Thanks. I was about to DM you. Thanks, Chips.
I’m loving this! No one will ever convince me he didn’t rig the recall election.
Thought I was the only one thinking that – it was so weird that everyone was out to force a recall & then they didn’t vote? or voted to keep the fool – very strange.
Whoa…..creeeeeeepy.
😯 Terrifying!!!
Rather looks like The Mickey Mouse Cult!
The men who are there, screaming and intimidating women are scum. You don’t have a uterus, you won’t help the woman find a job, child care, pay for college, etc. but you want to demand what she does with her body?!
Does that mean we can protest in front of Goldman Sacks, Walmart HQs, and Koch Brothers HQs?
If true, then GOOD.
Fingers crossed!
Hello You Amazing TOD Peoples……Thank You Chips and All other BT’s for you endless and ceaseless work for President Obama. I know he said that he had run his last campaign But I think He has One More in Him….Don’t you?
New post.
