@BarackObama Mr. President, I have seen 13 presidents and I say you are the best of the lot. A good man who cares for everyone. So proud!

The Obama Diary 
H
Congrats GGail and vet for 1st place tie1 🙂
Damn both team!!!
Thx hf 🙂
Congrats on 1st Gail!!
Very fine selection of tweets, NW!! Thank you
Thanks, Bob.
Yhx Bob 🙂
Thx ( before soccer I excelled in spelling)
😀 😀
Great week for the President
Love reading these daily wrap up tweets. Great tool my friends who are too lazy to read the real news and like to challenge the Obama success story.
What’s this, you playing two ‘characters’ in a monologue? 😀 😀
Couldn’t comment for two days. Today Word press and twitter are both working. Talking to myself saves arguing with someone who disagrees with me. 😉
🙂 🙂 Lovely rationale.
That why I talk to myself. We can work it out. How are you?
Absolutely fine, TY. Nice to see you overcame your WordP woes. My laptop has been doing the internet dance over a period of days now, and I haven’t a clue what its problem is! Mind you, /whispering so as not to spook it/ yesterday and today were okay.
I blame Arthur!
I’m lost – Arthur?
The himmicane (male version of the hurricane) on the east coast.
Aaaaah! I had forgotten him, A.b. TY for reminder. There are times I’m in the village when I totally forgot the real world is waiting or rampaging.
Hell, let this game end!!
NW, can you make that a tweet please?
Thanks Nerdy for posting these awesome tweets. 🙂
You’re welcome, HF.
Gold ⭐ ⭐ for GGail and Vetivera24.
Gooooooooold!
Thx Nena
Time for glory!
Thank yoooooooooooou Nerdy!!!!!
You’re welcome, Chiparooooo!
UH-OH….
oops – blame Dad.
Is this revelation meant to be a part of his campaign strategy? Does he think this will garner him votes, sympathy or otherwise?
I guess he wants to show that his daughter didn’t use birth control….but what about the bible part that sez no fornication?
O, THAT doesn’t matter anymore when you can tout her saintly decision not to abort. Remember Bristol?
This man wants to force abstinence as the cure to unwanted teen pregnancy on the rest of the world. If it does not work in his home it won’t work in anyone’s home. Fortunate for his daughter she comes from a family with health insurance that will pay for her prenatal and care for the baby.
I don’t think conservatives are familiar with that part of the bible
Like Palin, it will not matter so long as this is a TBGOPer. Remember Vitter and the many prostitutes? Remember the TN rep DesJarlis(sp) from 2010? The kissing LA Rep is vowing to run again.
Anthony Weiner was ran out exposing his Muscle. Elliot Spitzer was forced to resign. Craig wide stand caught from MPLS/STP never resigned. Ensign did only after the senate were about to admonish him.
The difference is the Media’s double standard treatment pf Rs Ds and the cuddling, cover and protection the rightie media give to their own.
Gee whiz. Wonder how that could happen?
It’s magic!
Let me see if I have this right.
Republican’s daughter is magically pregnant = We’ll give her love and support. But, before the baby is safely born, we shall turn this into a political point.
Any woman who wishes to use birth control = We think she’s a liberal and a slut. That’s against the Bible. Democrats have no morals.
Republican who’s running for public office finds out privately that his daughter is pregnant and very publicly announces it, although it may have remained private if he hadn’t = Well, just being a good Republican.
Daughter later realizes her dad used her in an unnecessary way to further his political career? Tune in after the election. If he wins, could have been his lucky charm. If he loses, maybe that’ll fracture their relationship for a long time.
None of what I just wrote is a dig in any way against the teenage daughter! I wish her and her baby all the best.
1-1
NED and CRC
Well, Krul replacing the number 1 may have been a good idea.
Shit.
Wow, Tim Krul is kind of an asshole.
Hahahahahahaha. His chest thumping is somewhat annoying.
You fought valiantly, Ticos!
I really like the first tweet NW
Yup. It’s great.
GOOOAAAALLLL HOLAND!!!
At this time in 1986 or so Reagan and the Media were chanting Morning In America…..UE was 7.3%.
Today 6.1% and 4M jobs unfilled due to lack of Skills. Many Americans graduating. US is exporting refined oil. Exports are high. Manufacturing is high. Auto sales and Home sales are high. 5 conservative months with 200K plus jobs…..the most in over 14 yrs.
Etc, Etc, Etc…….
Obama! Obama! Obama!
Forward!
When Reagan was President, the MSM was all “Morning in America.” Now PBO is President with twice as many accomplishments, despite twice the level of obstruction, the MSM is all “Worst President Ever.”
But some want us to believe the media is LIBRUL…
Judicial Activism, Corrupt Media……Internet……Multiplicity of Social Media.
Reagan had the 3 Alphabet Networks.
Leslie Stahl of CBS with a couple other Journos witnessed Reagan having issues……his early set Alzheimer and Never reported it until years after his death.
Laura Bush a chain smoker and she ran off and spent days at a hotel in DC and the press buried the story.
Today, Mark Von Knoller will be creaming from the top of his Twitter Account.
ESPN must’ve read your tweet, Chiparoo.
Ha!!!! 😆
Hmmm…very interesting. I think the whole media not only reads tweets from @theobamadiary, but lurks on TOD!
I am sad for CRC. They played their hearts out. This is their 1st time and they got this far.
🍸 to those Costa Rican players. You totally Rock.
So sad for Costa Rica. They deserved to win this damn game!
So Gx2, all your soccer work rendered you without words when you entered first for this thread? I guess I do understand as it’s no doubt hot in Brazil.
vc, I’m exhausted, hot and hungry! LOL!!!!
But you’re having fun, and that makes the rest all worthwhile……. Right?
I’ll tell you after I sink my teeth into a chicken drumstick 🙂
The Tweets are fantastic. Everyone of the tweets posted nailed the point, especially, Rustystubbs. Thanks NW.
You’re welcome, Nena.
My book scanner is here. You most likely shan’t see me for the rest of the weekend.
You’re weird 🙂
Well, I have about 500 books at home. And a small house. So something has to give. I chose scanning.
Being weird may be true, but besides the point in this case. 😆
Yep, knew it, weird 🙂
Scanning 500 books? YIKES.
Ooooh. Just the thing my folks and I were discussing recently. As part of a larger digital publishing project, we are thinking of creating a database of original historical documents that are in danger of being lost. I’ve been looking at book scanners online, but with no experience to determine which could best fit the bill at reasonable cost. I need your help, uber book guru LL. We can DM if you like on Twitter. Thanks.
No problem. From the videos, this is the best one I’ve found for the cost. I’ll be playing with it for a couple of days to get the hang of it. Just started and it seems like there is a bit of a learning curve. Let you know more in the next couple of days.
Hi Chips, Hi TODers. Hope you’re all having a blissful weekend (to the extent your wingnut relatives aren’t making you upset) 😀
Anyway Chips, I have a piece that will be ready to post in an hour. 8:00 pm-ish EDT. Thanks. 🙂
Oooh…always highly anticipate your pieces zizi. Hope your weekend was good also 🙂
Yep, lazily peaceful this holiday weekend. Dearest son did all the cooking yesterday to feed me and his friends. Can’t complain. Didn’t have to lift a finger. 😀
When I called out Evans of ABC news he couldn’t refute the assertion that the Q poll was bogus…note how he tries to deflect. These media critters…
You guys say the Quinnipiac poll was bogus, I say it was B.S.
Same idea. And note that Evans didn’t deny that the poll was bogus/B.S. He tried to half-arse deny that he was delighted about reporting the poll.
I really think that poll was part of the Tea Party Republicans plan to impeach President Obama. If people get to thinking he is a bad worthless President, they will feel it’s easy to impeach him. Just a thought.
Since when is One poll getting so much cover without a collaboration? Since when are samples of a poll going back to mimic 3 decades…….1984
Orwellian or the Apple Famous Wrecking Ad?
Will he devote the same amount of Time…..Yes or No?
He could not. Will Not. That makes the “with delight” 1001% accurate.
Great job HF2
hf, you are sasha-fierce twitter-girl 🙂
to be fair, that “journalist” was quite as excited as he was this day:
what a clown.
should be “wasn’t quite as…”
Thanks NW, those tweets were great. Haven’t been ton twitter today, been another busy day. Maybe tomorrow while I am washing clothes at 5:00am. 🙂
Nuts that I am.
PBO is truly amazing – the week starts out with doom and gloom from the SCOTUS – joy at health care fail from the GOP and the media (they are seriously weird in what they celebrate) – and then – jobs up, unemployment down – just in time for the 4th of July.
Thank you for the truth in tweets NW – great reads.
Plus it was his eldest 16th birthday. I’m sure he and FLOTUS made it a special day for Malia.
She gets a great party at the WH anniebella – birthdays don’t come much better than that 🙂
Note when the job numbers or any Great story that help most Americans, the media selectively short change the News.
They started covering Arthur. Then Arthur came and gone…..they pretend that the June Numbers Never came out.
Out of sight, out of mind 😉 or it is the other way around ❓ Oh well.
The Truth will out live the Media and the GOP.
The library should be on the property of the old Michael Reese Hospital. It was deliberately put out of business and closed in King Richard II’s desperate attempt to get the 2016 Olympics.
Why there?
1. The land’s already been gotten.
2. Nobody has to be eminent domained off their property for it.
3. Large parcel of land for not only a library, but plenty of parking.
4. Transportation-wise you can easily get to it via car, ‘el’ train and bus.
5. It is close enough to downtown so that it can be put on the Tour of Chicago routes.
6. No more letting the University of Chicago throw Black people off their land just cause they want to do something.
7. This is close to the lake, and on a hill so that it will have a view of the lake.
8. It would be on the South Side.

Exclusive details: Bid for Obama Library on Lake Michigan shore
Thu, 07/03/2014 – 7:06pm
Lynn Sweet
ARLINGTON, Va. — Among the rival locations in Chicago for the Obama library and museum, the most majestic one hugs the Lake Michigan shore on the Southeast Side with a stunning view of the Chicago skyline.
More than pretty, the Chicago Lakeside site has vast potential to trigger massive related economic growth and create jobs in an often ignored part of the city. With a presidential library and museum as an anchor, large-scale private investment that otherwise might take a generation to occur could happen in a decade.
“It is the most incredibly beautiful site in the city of Chicago,” developer Dan McCaffery is telling me as we discuss the bid for the library and museum he submitted to the Barack Obama Foundation last month. We’re talking in the suburban Washington office of his Chicago-based firm, where I had an exclusive look at the bid.
McCaffery, in a partnership with U.S. Steel, is offering the foundation free land: a prime location near 79th and the lake, the eastern-most point of the 589-acre Chicago Lakeside project.
These vacant acres were once the home of the razed U.S. Steel South Works, which closed in April 1992. The adjacent neighborhoods are where Obama once worked as a community organizer.
McCaffery uses the circle metaphor in talking about his bid, as in Obama coming full circle, building his presidential library near where he started his career.

Seems perfect, almost destined, rikyrah!!
Poetic justice!!
Rikyrah, I love this site! I hope it’s selected.
kismet:)
It does sound like a lovely site.
I think I love this idea!!
HF2 this ones for you 😉
Niiice, GrandmaDD! Good point, Hopef!
BTW, DD, I was late to the par-tay yesterday so almost missed my girls, except HZ mentioned it, which spurred me to go searching backwards. They are looking foine! I notice you had even done their eyebrows for the pic 😀 😀
Good job Donna!
Do does who think Reagen was the best President of modern time remember Iran Contra?
Fantastic tweet – I Love it! Thanks Donna. RT’d & fav’d. 🙂
Great, great tweet, Donna!
Just thinking about the important and brave stand Justice Ginsberg took on behalf of all women in our nation this week. I’m so proud of her!!
meta, the highlight of the State of the Union for me is when President Obama greets Justice Ginsburg and she reaches up and hugs him. I just melt every time. I am crazy about her. I love the fact that she is now referred to as Notorious RBG. Her scathing dissent on the Hobby Lobby case was a thing of beauty.
YES! They have such tremendous respect and affection for one another. She has done so much as a justice to protect us from the encroachments of the RW on the court.
“Her scathing dissent on the Hobby Lobby case was a thing of beauty.”
Yes indeed it was, Ladyhawke! I’ve been raving about it. I was so gratified that my nephew, who is a law professor, was absolutely ecstatic about it, and plans to use it in his Constitutional law class. Unlike the self serving Ideologues like Scalia, Alito Thomas Roberts, and Kennedy, the supposedly “Notorious RBG” combines a great intellect, deep concern for humanity, and dedication to justice, in all her decisions.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is emerging as an Internet sensation

What a beauty!
Happy Independence Day weekend, TODville.
Thanks meta and the same to you! 🙂
I totally love this! Thank you so much, Meta, for your tweet. It captures so well the sentiments of many of us who support and admire President Obama.

The Let’s Make Sex Have Consequences Party

“If rights are not specifically spelled out in the fabric of the country’s governing document, then it’s not long before some pinch-faced self-involved jackass decides those rights don’t exist, or that they apply only to a certain segment of the population. If you say “all men are created equal” when what you really meant was “all human beings regardless of sex, creed, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or lack thereof, age, ability, height, weight, dexterity, eye color, ear size, attractiveness, income bracket, military service, pacifism, reading ability, bilateral symmetry, political affiliation, taste in music, and any other bullshit category we divide people up into” then what will inevitably happen is that somebody, somewhere will argue that those rights don’t apply to people they don’t like.
And that, Folks, that right there, is just about the only self evident truth.
Ironically enough, that is also exactly what the Founding Fathers were talking about in their declaration to King George.
The Framers corrected their naiveté in fairly short order. Those today who would enshrine the Constitution as holy writ, handed down from their deity inviolate and Divine, ignore the fact that the very men who wrote the Constitution considered it a flawed and imperfect product of human endeavor right from the very beginning – and many said so, loudly. And they not only included in the very fabric of the Constitution itself a mechanism for change and update, they themselves set about making modifications and corrections almost immediately.”
