The Obama Diary 
YO!
It’s the Galaxy Girl!
Congrats on 1st Tally,
HAPPY TUESDAY TO YOU!!!
Hi, bye. Hoping for a retrieve from Internet purgatory by tonight.. Still no progress. Miss you all! ;(
{{MP}} Don’t fret; we’ll be here when you are reprieved.
We miss you, MightyPamela!
Tally at the top!
Filthy two-faced piece of crap.
Indeeeeeeeed.
And that is putting it mildly Chips. He is scum!!!
Chris Matthews is on his BULL DOG ATTACK STYLE making claims that these 5 released men are going back to Afghanistan and will probably attack us again.
General Barry McCaffrey (Chris Matthew) is saying that President Obama “knew” that the soldier had deserted his post and he should not have publicly embraced the parents and it’s troubling; stating that Dr. Rice is smart and she should not have said that the soldier served honorably.
Feinstein has publicly stated (Breaking News) that President Obama has broken the law and she is troubled by what he did.
Ed Shultz says that impeachment hearing will most likely begin after midterms.
This is sickening.
Can you imagine a Republican Senator doing to President Bush what Diane F. is doing now??
Perhaps Diane never got over handing the reins to Senator Obama at the end of primary, 2008. Anybody else remember the meeting at Diane’s DC home?
I remember the meeting, now that you’ve reminded us, but I forget the details. Was she a PUMA?
Here ya go:
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2008/06/obama-ditches-p/
That’s it. Diane f. not a big PBO fan, to put it politely.
Thanks so much, Donna, for refreshing my memory.
Seems like 100 years ago, in a way!
Do you mean, ‘This is sickeningly predictable’, Cindy?
I had to turn it off. My stomach was churning. Matthews kept repeating that there must be a reason we kept them there [GTMO] even as the prosecutor kept saying that in 12 years they didn’t have enough evidence to try them. Then the prosecutor reminded him that the only legal justification to hold them would expire at the end of the year when the war closed and they would have to be released. He characterized the deal as a win-win, getting our soldier back in exchange for 5 people who would be released in 6 months anyway. I don’t think Tweety can accept that the majority of prisoners at GTMO were not in fact hardened criminals and that the media played along in the Bush administration con for so many years.
This whole episode is revealing just how vacuous our media are and how they have been accomplices for years to the travesty of the Bush war on terror. We need a media revolution.
This is “First Debate” all over again. The media (including MSNBC) is just MAD that PBO is dead serious about ending the war in Afghanistan.
There will be no “impeachment hearing” because PBO has not broken any law or done anything wrong. So Ed Schultz can shove his blatherings up his arse…
I thought Feinstein had an issue with Brennan?!?!? Just a couple months ago, she was all over that….well, w’happened to that one?
Anyone have any wonder why POTUS told Kelly and Michael that FLOTUS would not be running for any political office. Because FLOTUS doesn’t want to put up with such B.S. from both side, Republicans and Democrats. And I don’t blame her. I am at the point were I can not stand Diane Feinstein.
I’m so freakin’ pissed off I want to run against Dianne Feinstein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go For It Meta!!!
Did you see my message to our CA TOD’ers on the previous thread?
I can’t figure out for the life of me why no one has ever seriously challenged her!!!!!!!!!
OMG, Donna, I’m so angry right now. I can’t even speak. She’s always been in the HRC camp but this is a HUGE betrayal. HUGE.
She rode to victory in 2012 on our illustrious Prez’ coattails though didn’t she!!! She has become a huge disappointment;and I write her almost monthly telling her that. My letter to her this office this month is really going to be particularly scathing. We lived up in the East Bay when she became Mayor of San Fran after Mayor Moscone was assasinated and she is nothing like she was back then. It is my fervent prayer that someone like Kamala Harris, decides to run for Feinstein’s seat when she’s up for re-election.in 2018.
YES, exactly, purpleshoesla!! Kamala would be such a vast improvement. I’m hearing she wants to run for governor, but we’ll see……Senator might be much faster track to top ticket.
I DON’T LIKETHE WAY ANY OF THEM ARE TALKING ABOUT PBO…THIS BREAKS MY HEART AND MAKES ME CRY. THIS IS AWFUL!
Agree, but the President would remind all of us: “Don’t cry (or, as he says, boo). Vote.”
Go for it Meta! You will at least have one Southern Californian, me, working tirelessly on your behalf! The sad thing is that she is not up for re-election until 2018.
In the meantime, I plan on sending an e-mail to Sen. Feinstein expressing my strong objections/displeasure to what she is doing to the President. To be honest, I don’t think she cares. In the past, it has taken her more than three months to respond to my e-mails, whereas Sen. Boxer always responds promptly.
Feinstein will be booked for all the news programs this Sunday….High Drama…it seems that PBO was right…they can’t be trusted with classified info
I checked in to see if anyone is watching Tweety. My of my!!!!! I’m making myself watch just to hear all this “information”. As prettyfoot just said, “HIGH DRAMA”. Just don’t find any more words to describe what this is…….
I am just getting sick over this whole thing.
Some guy, on Chris Matthew now, Joshua Carnelison (served as medic in Bergdahl unit), soldier intentionally and purposely left his base. Saying that it was intentional and Bergdahl was trying to join Taliban. Joshua says he deserted the army.
This is a melting pot. Feinstein will blow this up more than the repukes and they are going to join her in going after President Obama for impeachment.
This is real and we are in for a ride. This is ugly now and is going to get real ugly. Other Dems are joining in with Feinstein. They are painting Bergdahl as the enemy and Chris Matthew is leading the way making claims that others dies because of him and that President Obama knew that this guy was not honorable.
Trouble brewing quickly and we can’t hope that it will disappear.
Dear Cindy – they will not impeach the President – never fear – he carries on doing good. This is no different to Benghazi!!!! and it got the fools absolutely no-where.
If anyone – other than PBO brought home a POW – there would be a ticker tape parade – it is always easy to find some disgruntled soldiers (there are no doubt millions of them given how the gop treats their service and them) to attack the black guy. This will pass.
Please calm down, Cindy! This too will pass! There is not going to be any impeachment! Please do yourself a favor and stop watching Chris Matthews! He is a master sensationalist!
Not only is PBO right – they lack professionalism – it is reassuring to know we *can* trust *him*! They make me wonder if they don’t ever get wearied by the drama each time, every time. It gets wearying just watching them perform.
I know that this is pathetic but I simply cannot stop watching this. I have never seen anything like this in my life!!!!!!!!!!!! 😯
What is going on down in Florida??!!??
“Judge Tells Attorney ‘I’ll Beat Your Ass,’ Actually Does It”
Wrong video:
dd, you described me. Can’t make myself stop watching!!!!!!!!!
Our State is something else. This played out all morning on the locals. Unbelievable, the judge brought it to the attorney, no charges file.
Yesterday in the elite Coral Gables, an 18 year old got into an argument with a driver and the passenger shot the boy in his rear in the middle of the streets and things were chaotic.
Welcome to Florida and our great gun laws. They haven’t caught the driver. A store manager ran out to assist the young man while others ran for cover.
The wars are over and Guantanamo will be closing.
That’s what every sane person wants.
Whatever gravytrain GOP/Corporations were riding on, the ride is over.
It won’t be an exact match, but doesn’t it make sense that the louder the squeals the bigger the financial loss the squealer is anticipating?
HAPPY,HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR BIDEN…YOU ARE A BLESSING TO THIS COUNTRY…HOWEVER…WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS I AM NOT QUITE SURE!
AND THAT DAMNED DICK CHENEY IS NOTHING BUT SATAN IN A TIE!!!!! THE MEDIA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALOT OF THIS AND THEY KEEP SHOWING THE PICS. OF THE 5 JACKALS!
They are saying that these guys are going to attack America again. I see where this is going for midterms. All the scare tactics coming into play.
THE REPUGS. WILL USE THIS UNTIL THEY START SELLING POPSICLES IN HELL…ARE YOU KIDDING? THERE IS NO COMPASSION OR HUMANITY IN THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE! IT’S SHAMEFUL!
I am surprised those that like to whine and complain don’t do so about President Obama probably not telling them every time he goes to the restroom and probably does not even ask them what type of TP he should buy. Rev Al had some good guests on, why is it those that sound intelligent and in the know speak quietly and strongly? Vicki must be correct in saying “that the louder the squeals, the bigger the financial loss the squealer is anticipating.
Tweety is going wild with Obama hate on this rescue/exchange mission, FOXNews cannot be any worse. He’s bullying one of his guests who tried to insert some sanity, saying at one point that the hyperbole needed to be dialed back. Tweety spit back at him. They all have on these same Repub hired soldiers, showing crying parents of soldier killed during purported rescue mission calling Bergdahl a traitor, showing Feinstein saying PBO broke the law, now have some unknown source saying he listened to some radio conversation saying Bergdahl was collaborating with the Taliban–the swiftboats are coming out of the woodwork—this is out of control now. Snowballing into insanity. And I may detest Chuck Todd more than anyone—–his report tonight was as despicable as he could possibly make it. You would have thought PBO ordered the destruction of America—–he was all doomsday and alarming as he declared this has “erupted into a major scandal for this White House”, more accusations of breaking the law etc. etc. This is ugly squared. Media seems determined to try to wreck President Obama—Benghazi didn’t do it—–they think they’ve got something here and are just out of their minds.
I just can’t take this, it is beyond belief – thanks for the report Dotster.
I’m so glad I’m not watching any of it but I’m furious just the same. They think we’re that weak? HA!!
People should stop watching Chris Matthews! He was exactly like this during the Monica Lewinsky incident! He loves to hype and sensationalize these incidents. He then turns around and pretends to be a good guy and a liberal Democrat! Matthews is an empty headed snake!
THIS IS ALL TO THE POINT OF SICKENING…PBO HAS BEEN USED AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR ALL THAT IS WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY…OH YEAH…LET’S CHASE THE BLACK GUY…SLAVERY MY FRIENDS…..HAS NEVER ENDED! I AM THOROUGHLY SICKENED. WILL CHECK IN LATER..I CAN’T WATCH ANYMORE. HANG IN THERE KIDS…IT’S GOING TO BE ONE HELL OF A ROUGH RIDE! MAY GOD STRENGTHEN AND PROTECT THIS PRESIDENT!
In other news, it seems China is jumping on the bandwagon and doing something to limit carbon emissions. This news comes out one day after POTUS annouces EPA carbon regulations.
World Leader, President Obama? You betcha.
World Leader, President Obama? You betcha.
🙂 🙂
Have there been any Democratic Congressional or Senatorial leaders on TV today supporting PBO and the POW transfers?
I haven’t watched, but I’m guessing it would be few in number.
Jackie, I think this is a very important message to push. Republicans cannot be trusted with the handling of the military in ANY WAY.
They are happy to send us to war, but WILL NOT support them when they come home (or don’t come home) damaged.
It is reprehensible. I’m appalled. It’s a new low, if that’s even possible.
It is reprehensible, GaMG, but it is also the Republican way IMO. I really do believe they see the military as a place to channel people, as it were. They do the patriotic platitudes quite well, and that’s about it. THEY LACK A CORE! There is not much that Republicans in general can do that would surprise me anymore, and the Dem pols who repeatedly play to their tunes are, as far as I’m concerned, not really sincere.
Amen, JOB! That’s exactly the message these RW idiots, both elected officials and media pundits, are sending to parents. Three days ago Bowie Bargdahl was POW! The moment President Obama secured his freedom, he automatically became a deserter and a traitor who should have been left to die in captivity! I am sorry, but I’ve had it with “RW elected officials” and the mainstream media pundits who aid and abate them in their utter lunacy! They are all despicable scum!
Totally agree, nath! Scum personified.
There is a GOOD reason why PBO’s people are not out there defending this more strongly right now….MSM and the GOP’s goal IS to make us loose it. I am not falling for it
Good point, Layla
Good for you, for bringing sanity into my thoughts. (It’s all about ME!)
LOLz
…or just mumbling to himself ‘I am President’
Layla, I think you made a good point……that the Dems shouldn’t be out in front of mics. Whoever the interviewer might be (on any station), that person would badger and badger and use GOP talking points over and over and maybe manage to get the Dem to say something that would enrage them even more. Better to just let all of them do what they are doing—-go batshit crazy and make idiots of themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!
My answer to the kerfuffle about #Bergdahl. Coincidentally, PBO does say at one point ‘We leave no one behind’. Yea, it had to do with economics, but it still works. Other words in this are equally pertinent to the furor of the moment.
I just don’t have the desire to allow these guys to push my buttons re Pres O. They play this game waaaay too often for it to be meaningful for me, and I kind of feel that even the Dems who join in do not merit my energy/anger. If President Obama and his Admin made this decision to move ahead, I have no doubt he considered his options carefully. If he chose to meet with the parents in a press conference, I don’t doubt that he felt it was the right thing to do in this instance. Truthfully, my position about Pres O is that he has hit the nail solidly on the head so many times that if he were to slip up going forward *I* will simply say – ‘He’s human after all’ and I’ll still be behind him. Just saying. (Hi, Jovie! 😀 I always think of you when I type that. It’s nice to see you are back in the village)
I’m with you on this VC – it’s a silly game and We need to remain focused for the 2014 midterms. Not allow ourselves to become distracted by the media and GOP in their bullchit. I TRUST PBO. PERIOD.
You know Hopef, if I were to express a criticism, it would be of democrats in general. I mean, how many times does PBO have to prove himself, and prove himself, and prove himself. It’s somewhat sad, I think, that we allow ourselves to become distracted each time, instead of, right away, telling the hypocrites to stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine, then move on with a discussion of the real issues.
today at work one of my colleagues went to foxnews on their computer while I was standing there. I had to walk away – they just keep hating PBO and frankly stupid people keep lapping up this hate soup. I’m sick of it.
I’m going to go pull some weeds.
..and I’ll smoke it!
Hollering 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
So Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to have my first puff when I’m 70, if we don’t keep the White House in 2016 (when I’ll be 70, good Lord willing).
Hope it’s legal by then. Ha!
Actually, I’m betting I’ll never get that first joint, because we will and MUST keep the White House for the next 30 years.
I live in a state where it is legal, like your idea, I will be 70 in 2016 also.
Hopefully, we won’t “need” to, and will keep the White House in Democratic hands for our lifetimes (and then some)!
As a teen of the 60s – no-one including my husband and daughter will believe that I never had even “a puff” – I was an innocent soul – and cigarettes were the cheap option 🙂 Wish I had left them alone as well.
I chose the cigarettes, too, and never looked back. Never touched anything else. Too busy raising my son to notice what everybody else was smoking!
I will also be seventy in two thousand sixteen. I have to admit I was a goodie two shoes all my life. No recreational drugs, no cigarettes, no sex till marriage, and light social drinking only. My big rebelling involved ratting my hair and rolling up my skirt so the hem was above my knees in high school. Now I am having my hair cut in an asymmetrical style with one side a very short pixie and the other a graduated chin length bob with fuchsia pink streaks on one side. That is my wild side. My grown kids think I flipped out. Maybe! LOL
OMG. I’ve been thinking about streaks in my hair, too. Not fuchsia pink, but I like them more by the day. Ha! All of our “grown kids” think we’ve flipped out, which I find somewhat comical … my oldest granddaughter, however, started calling me Gangsta Grandma when she found out I liked Mob Wives and rap music. Let’s keep ’em guessing.
HAW!! You are too much!!
😯 Layla!!! 😆
I know!!!! I’m a delinquent, always have been, always will be LOL
🙂 I just didn’t know you were that much of a delinquent, Layla!
OHHH Chips, I could tell you some stories…….
🙂 😉
Gardening, wise choice Alice. Much better than busting a brick wall with your fist which is a response I would have had 30+ years ago to this nonsense.
Now, I just sit back, smile, and watch with never-ending amazement and gratitude as President Obama pushes these idiots buttons, day in and day out, simply by doing what he said he would do.
‘Now, I just sit back, smile….’
Appreciate you saying this this way, Bobf. I don’t exactly smile, but I do the rest and I do have a wonderful sense of contentment…of rightness…that a man of his word is in the highest office. Whatever he does is fine by me because I’m absolutely convinced that his heart is in the right place ALWAYS. And at this point, even were he to make a misstep it wouldn’t alter the way I feel about him. Period.
Maybe Bergdahl thought one in his unit would point a weapon at him and pull the trigger, just like what happened to Pat Tillman, friendly fire, shot 3 times in the head…….
how the hell could they classify Bergdahl a soldier a deserter with little to no facts but Snowden was classified as a whistleblower when the facts clearly showed he is a frakking traitor? the msm and gop are so disgusting.
Bobfr,
Thank you for posting this tweet here. This guy has it right. VERY RIGHT.
saw this AFTER my post above. My sentiment exactly. These people are disgusting.
Well said, Matt! Thanks Bob for sharing this tweet!
Such restraint you showed, meta! Hang in there, darlin’.
I’m trying not to go off……!! Love you, JO’B.
Love you back, Senator Meta (D-CA).
Get a room you two!!!! 🙂
It’s just TODville, Chips!
Ha. She’s my long-time buddy! 🙂
LOLz.
Look, JOB, if Meta runs, in 2018, against Feinstein I will work my butt-off to get her elected! I am fed up with this PUMA!
If Meta runs, I will move to California and help you!
I’m booking my flight right now – let’s all live together, as part of Team Meta. Oh heck, sounds awesome! 🙂
We’ll all be in the same “room,” then, Chips, if ya get my drift. Ha ha ha.
Team Meta!!!! (And – forget the paint – we will have an endless supply of PASTRIES!)
I should confess Jacqueline: I snore. And Danny does too. Are you still good with the Team Meta plan?
Only in separate quarters! Team Meta, separate quarters, lots of pastries. Then I’m in!
I’ve started the Twitter brigade on it.
META!…..META!……META!…….
What’s your campaign slogan?
When is the next meeting?
A VOTE FOR META IS A VOTE FOR SEE YA!
As in, goodbye Feinstein we support our own!
META!….META!…META!….
XOXO!!
BINGO
uh-huh. That’s the real issue. wars ending and Guantanamo closing.
Unbelievable that the US has decided their POWs should be left to rot – because – black President.
Ahhhh – US media
This is SWEET!!
Big crybaby!!!!
This is “change we can believe in.”
This. Let them ALL run their mouths. They got nothin’….as for Lady Di..she needs to chill the F out.
http://www.politicususa.com/2014/06/03/republican-bergdahl-scandal-falls-white-house-discussed-swap-gop-2011.html
Comment by ” Huckleberry” is very astute, and I think, right on the mark:)
In all honesty I think the president is doing the EPA thing, and Bergdahl swap, just to push the repubs buttons before the mid terms. He knows that they act before they think. He also knows that anything he does will be criticized. I believe he is winding them up and letting them go.
The public is overwhelmingly in support of climate change and the need to do something. Yet here are the repubs, deniers to the end. The same with Bergdahl. Even if the public despises him as a deserter if that’s the case, they don’t want him left there.
They keep beating Benghazi and the public is deaf to that, along with the IRS and Fast and Furious. To top it off the ACA is working just fine.
Yeah, I think Obama is just poking them in the eye to hear them scream. I say don’t forget the other eye.
“Yeah, I think Obama is just poking them in the eye to hear them scream. I say don’t forget the other eye.”
And, I suggest doing the same in a more southern region of the anatomy …. just say’n …. 😉
Why, Dr. Bob:) !! I think this comment is right on target…PBO knows their MO…just let them talk…
Yep!
I also think PO is pissed about what the media and GOP asswipes did to Eric Shinseki. They are going to get rolled on this one.
YES! As PBO says ‘let them talk’
“Republicans are outraged that President Obama acted on information that they knew about for three years. It is also information that has been public knowledge for the last two years. It comes as no surprise that the man who is leading the media campaign to smear Sgt. Bergdahl is a former Bush administration official.
According to BuzzFeed, “A former Bush administration official who was hired, then resigned, as Mitt Romney’s foreign policy spokesman played a key role in publicizing critics of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the released prisoner of war. The involvement of Richard Grenell, who once served as a key aide to Bush-era U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton and later worked for Romney’s 2012 campaign, comes as the Bergdahl release has turned into an increasingly vicious partisan issue.”
John Boehner and House Republicans are calling for an investigation into something that they have known about for years, while a former Bush administration official is leading the media effort to build this partisan show into a full blown scandal.”
Good morning all – no wonder Chuck Todd is called Toad – he is a true image of our revolting cane toad. Everything the latter does is destructive to our environment. I went to read the media matters story on McCain & saw a headline of remarks from the Toad. Ugh – his soul is ugly.
Good BEAUTIFUL Wednesday morning to you 99ts!
His ugly soul matches the outside; ugly begets ugly.
Hey Cindy – I just replied to you above – comments passing in the night – or something 🙂
Yes his soul is sooo ugly it oozed out onto his face! Now that’s an ugly soul!
Morning 99ts! Ah, you deserved to wake up to way better than that vermin.
Let the fool make me forget all the thank yous. I did wake to some wonderful posts from you & NW about the President in Europe – they are an absolute delight.
Just watching him in action today was a pick-me-up 99ts, in the middle of all this ****ing madness!
Good gawd, I’m about to punch something:
WOW! This is ugly to the core.
Hello Chips,
Just got back from work and saw this.
I don’t let anything get under my skin anymore. Once I realized that whatever this President does will never get a passing grade from the rightwing nuts and their cronies, their tantrums leave me indifferent. The truth is this: whatever Obama did with the POW, he would have been crucified. As long as BO has convictions and act on them, I am just fine with the swap decision.
Let the rightwing crazies chew on this. This is the next entrée; they gave a pause to Benghazi. Between now and 2016, they will find many more things to be upset over and to call on a special committee for many more hearings. That is not an opinion, it is a fact.
Hiya No Child – oh, you’re so right: “The truth is this: whatever Obama did with the POW, he would have been crucified.”
And it shouldn’t remotely surprise me, but the fact that the media is so gleefully echoing the RWNJs on this is what’s making me tear my hair out.
Their two stars? Josh Korder – now fundraising for himself off his media campaign against Bergdahl. And Cody Full, a racist piece of crap who tweeted all kinds of bigoted bile about the President, much of which he then deleted.
And these two guys are doing the media rounds, and not one of their interviewers has questioned them about their agenda.
I despair.
If that can bring you comfort, know this: there is no difference between the media and the GOP/Teabaggers. Don’t expect any fairness or accuracy from the media. It’s all gotcha questions, silly comments, puerile analysis. That’s what we have as journalists now particularly in the TV world.
It’s disconcerting to see this coordinated launching of attacks, but I’ve seen this movie before and I know how it ends. Just remember this: NO WEAPON formed against our President will prosper. NONE. Two months from now, both these idiots (Korder & Full) will have imploded and will be national jokes.
Well over half of their readers are probably going to bypass this issue. The printers will have to do what the book publishers do – buy copies by the thousands to make sure the circulation stays up.
LOL!! Don’t let them get to you Chips. Point and laugh.
CarolMae is the Kind!
A slightly different perspective, Chips ….
So true. So pathetic.
Don’t understand why it is getting so ugly. Have people gone crazy?
MEDIA IS FUELING THE FIRE………
ummm…they want to win elections reaaaaaal bad!
You are so correct Layla – they have nothing to take to an election – no Benghazi, no repeal health care, no vet legislation, no UI, no jobs bills, no immigration, no wars – but Impeach!!
I’m sure others can add to the list – but this is why everything the President does is “scandal, outrage, disaster” – until the next thing happens.
It could also be because – Black man in White House.
Right here. Nothing to get worked up about. This paragraph says it all
“By the GOP’s own definition, Bergdahl was a prisoner of war. President Obama had the constitutional authority as commander in chief to take the actions the action that he did.”
http://www.politicususa.com/2014/06/03/republican-bergdahl-scandal-falls-white-house-discussed-swap-gop-2011.html
Boom. Game over. Feinstein and the Repubs can talk all the smack they want but a constitutional scholar knows exactly what he can and can’t do as President. Well that and the fact PBO told them what was going on three years ago. It’s not his fault that they suffer from intentional short term memory loss.
Go over there and get in on the conversation:) Unhinged nutjobs over the…you know, the real “Murikans!
It’s like two trolls and of course they got it wrong. If you step you better step correct otherwise djchefron and shiva are going to have you for breakfast.
They know that they are going to be defeated realllll bad!!!
4 Nov 2014 determines the future of America, vetivera.
All the ‘chips’ (on pun intended) are on the table.
The #MIC, #NEOCONSTERS, #KLEPTOCRATS and their #GOP, #NEWSTAINERS minions all know it.
If President Obama emerges with a DEM-Controlled 114th Congress, they are in for major disruption and they know it. We need a turnout on 4 Nov 2014 that has never been seen in American History. We must not fail to deliver …
#LandslideDEMS2014
Yes WE MUST
Praying hard! The possibilities of a Dem controlled congress are unimaginable but very real for the working class.
Two months ago Diane Feinstein was all hot and bothered about an issue with Brennan and the CIA…now I hear nothing about that. Feinstein is an attention seeker and probably has a few personal axes to grind with PBO. Her one-trick pony act is getting real tiresome… FAST…
MoDo, Peggy and Diane all suffering from the black man in the White House syndrome
Most likely.
‘Andrea-Mitchell syndrome.’
I guess so.
Tomasky is correctomundo!
KABOOM! Heard that. Chris actually had a good show tonight.
Now Rachel is beginning with the Jessica Lynch story. Oh gawd! Remember that……then there was Pat Tillman. These people are totally INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!
Correct.
I don’t know why my dear friends at TODVille let the Bergdahl’s triple axel from the GOP get the better of their mood.
What is new here? Since when the GOP, the Teabaggers, and their conservative ever agreed with the President? By now, we all have seen over and over again that if the President is for something, they will oppose it even if they agreed on record a minute before that they were for it.
Once we are aware of their game, why should we be all ups and arms?
I will offer to remain as calm as the Commander-in-Chief and focus on the midterms. This Bergdahl’s story is a temporary distraction from Benghazi. Whatever can stick, they will use it. The GOP has no plans for the country. All it has is a bunch of middle-aged and angry people that cannot stand the current occupants of the WH.
#FORWARD
BRAVO, NCLB! This a million times! Chill folks….do not be distracted by this latest fake outrage.
You’re so right NCLB. This is a silly distraction and the MSM/GOP are flailing because the chances of the GOP winning the Senate are getting smaller by the minute. They are lashing out angrily in all directions. It will come to the point where if the President has a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast, MSNBC will be talking about impeachment hearings – just because the GOP thinks PBO should not have had cornflakes for breakfast.
That’s how ridiculous it’s getting, and we should not allow these things to distract us.
I get upset because they do it while he is travelling – in company of world leaders and they so want to undermine him in the midst of all his international achievements. Not a murmur about the Ukraine & NATO – because this is big PBO success.
Excellent comment!
hahahaha – could only happen to Abbott
“Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s trip overseas has been delayed after a “technical issue” grounded the plane he was due to fly out on for a meeting today with the Indonesian president.”

Popped into my head:) PBO has them ALL CONFUSED!
Looks like the Clinton people are going to peel off:
Hillary Clinton Was Skeptical of Taliban-Bergdahl Swap

Drip, drip, drip to their media buddies …..
That’s OK. I am skeptical of Hillary myself.
Well Hillary Clinton can be skeptical all she wants! She was not the one elected to be the Commander In Chief, invested with the responsibility of taking care of all the men and women in the military! And neither was John McCain! Like it or not, the majority of Americans elected President Obama and gave him that responsibility. I personally could care less what Clinton says, or what McCain says, or what media idiots, like Chris Matthews, say! If Bowie Bergdahl, who was, until three days ago, regarded as a U.S. POW in Afghanistan, had been left behind, the blame would be on President Obama! No one would blame John McCain, Hillary Clinton, or Chris Matthews. As far as I am concerned, all the hyperventilating critics of President Obama for securing the release of an American POW need to STFU!
I sent the following tweet to @SenFeinstein @SenatorBoxer @NancyPelosi @RepSteveIsrael @SenatorReid @SenSchumer @TheDemocrats @dscc @dccc
“I will not contribute one dime or vote for any Dems until Feinstein apologizes for attacking the president”
