FURST!1!1!
Congrats Chips on #1! These are some beautiful pics 🙂
I notice that countries love to have their young meet our President – they want their country’s future to have a part in this important historical event. And the kids respond to him so well…
Mooooooorning Hopefruit, nothing better to wake up to than photos of the President with kids!
Good Morning Chips. Congrats on first!!! 🙂
Hello!
Helloooooo Sandy!
Mooooorning everyone!
Chips! “FURST”??? I suppose I should be happy you haven’t changed in a week! Oh, okay, I AM happy!
🙂 Gooooood morning VC! How on earth are you awake? After a trip like you had, I would be asleep for a month!
Weird body dynamics, Chips. I assure you I want to sleep for ages.
vc, you & I were talking to each other on
the last post. Don’t have time to bring it over.
I got to get ready to goooo!
I check back when I get settled at the airport.
Safe journey GGail!
Thanks Chips ❤
Okay.
‘settled at the airport’ …quite a concept! 😀 😀
Happy Wednesday TODers.
Heeeeya Chips!!
A pleasure to wake up to my president’s smiling face.
Hellooooooooooooo Africa!!
Fantastic tweets last night Africa, you said it ALL!
Thanks, Chips. Just nauseating what these warmongers with zero skin in the game want to do and doing so by undermining the president.
And as you said Africa, how many of these ****ers have family in the military, and how many of them have ever visited Walter Reed to see the price of war?
Morning Chips and Sandy. I find it interesting that for all the macho preening by Republican war lovers and for all the gun sales and arsenal building Republicans brag about, they are the ones who are the first to cower with fright when the international situation gets tough. They want the president to take on the bad guys for them so they won’t have to worry about the shadows in the corner or the monsters under their beds. Then there are the soulless pundits and GOP candidates who want an attack on their own country so the president will look bad. But they wear a flag pin on their lapels so it’s okay.
This is so true jackie. Have you noticed too, that the comments anywhere are becoming more shrill and hateful, and that the pundits and GOP congresscritters are becoming more hateful as well. I really hear a desperation in their voices as if they want to block out their own sense of reality. It’s becoming: “me doth thinks he protests too much”. I have never found them credible, but many around me are beginning to catch on.
why aren’t you in bed?
The sun came up.
Hi, Amk.
hi vc. still lost on the road(s)?
No, dear. Lost at home now. 😀
atta girl.
Me or VC? I am in bed
I was asking you about the previous thread. What time was it when you posted it?
Ah, I see – very, very, very, very late.
I like the first media question – take a lesson American media.
US media is too dumb/stupid/full of hate to learn VC – why they attack PBO is no longer in doubt. History – and the world – is not on their side.
Do you think they will ever realize that the ‘world’ has left them behind?
No, VC. In their little, tiny bubble world, they are cocks of the walk and that’s all they see or care about.
Sad, really, because with real and nuanced reporting they could have played a vital part in this president’s effort to move the US and the world forward!
Dana Milbank has an article out bemoaning President Obama’s “happy talk.” It is “unnerving” to him.
They NEVER stop – if the President did as UK – Milbank would say PBO is too pessimistic!
Compton, didn’t fail in ignoring the Estonian leader 0 typical self-centred US-MSM
/smh/ You can tell I’m out of it – just realized that I’m listening to the earlier presser and responding like we are all on the same page. 🙄 🙄 Apologies. I’ll get back to normal …soon?
Gooood Morning Friends! [a-a-achooo!… Sniffle, sniffle]
[How’d the tissue box get behind the nightstand? Ugh… moan]
Morning Duuuuuudette, flippety flip, you have a cold??
Hi Diva Chips! Yeh! [wipes nose]
Souvenir from DragonCon or some kid at my brother’s Fish Fry on Sunday.
Come to think of it, I do remember some stanger’s rugrat sneezing practically in my face! Dang! I didn’t even wanna go to that thing! Grrrr… 😡
Dr. meta says hot tea with lemon, fresh ginger slice and honey, STAT!!
Thank you, dear! Heading to the kitchen right now.
[cough, cough] Dammit!
The perfect concoction.
Good morning, all.
President Obama’s inscription at the Stenbock House (Office of the Prime Minister) in Estonia.
Gorgeous photo! Gorgeous inscription!
Good morning everyone – wonderful pictures – the world loves PBO – they know he speaks for the US – the US media is becoming a world wide joke in their interpretation of reality.
Good evening 99ts!
gm Ms Chips – you do find the bestest pictures – I’ll even forgive the cheatin’ gold
Beautiful shot from Pete:
Ooops, sorry, that’s not the one I wanted to post! Let’s try this one:
CATCHING UP ON MY ENERGIZER BUNNY PRESIDENT…HIS NOTE TO ESTONIA…”A NATION THAT SHOWS WHAT FREE PEOPLE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER.”….UNFORTUNATELY…NOT HIS UNGRATEFUL OWN…I HAVE NO GREAT FEELINGS ABOUT AMERICA…I HAVE SEEN THE WAY THEY HAVE TREATED THIS AMAZING PRESIDENT. I PRAY FOR HIM BECAUSE I HAVE GREAT FEELINGS FOR MY GOD WHO WILL INDEED TAKE CARE OF MY PRESIDENT. YOU CAN SEE THE PRESIDENT’S SADNESS OVER STEVEN SOTLOFF IN HIS EYES…YOU CAN’T ERASE THAT…THIS BRINGS TEARS TO HIS NATO VISIT. PEOPLE LIKE US WITH COMPASSION FIND IT DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND SUCH EVIL…YOU ARE LOVED PBO…FORWARD WALKING ON YOUR TEARS………………….

Good morning BFF and TOD.
I luv the bow tie 🙂
FLASHBACK:
ANN COMPTON & THE “TAKE OFF YOU BEDROOM SLIPPERS” FLAP
those bedroom slippers……
———————————-
Ann Compton, White House correspondent for ABC News Radio, asked:
“Twice you answered that you heard the President tell other groups to stop complaining. Can you tell us whether any other groups have been told to “take off their bedroom slippers”? And should anybody in the ballroom that night take offense at the President’s admonishment to “take off their bedroom slippers and start marching”?”

Good Morning/Evening, my Chips and beautiful TOD family. Chips, thanks for all of this beautifulness on this early morning. The children are so lovely as they greet PBO. I so enjoy seeing him interact with the children. These are wonderful moments in their lives that will forever be gracious ones to tuck in their little precious hearts. Plus, these smiling faces give so much joy to our wonderful and brilliant President.
Chips, you are the best traveling partner ever. TY, my love. Hug my Danny for me please. Love you for all that you give us, Chips. HZ
GOOD MORNING SWEET HZ…THE PEOPLE OF ESTONIA ARE NEVER GOING TO FORGET THIS VISIT…A SITTING PRESIDENT WHO CARES AND COMES TO SEE THEM…:)
Good Morning beautiful SUE. This will indeed be a moment in history where these young beautiful people will hold very dear from our great President, Barack Obama. May your day be a joyous and peaceful one. Love you dearly, SUE. HZ
GM TODville,
Sorry to say I slept through the President’s “meet-and-greet.” Love the pageantry and glimpses of foreign culture at these events. 😦
So I missed this…
I love the fact the boy is from “the countryside.”
I’ll bet plenty of American children feel/felt the same way, unless they succumbed to peer or adult pressure along the way.
Good morning all. Very happy to see you back safely vc. Welcome home! Great pictures to start the day. We are so spoiled. Thank you over and over again Chips.
Morning vetivera24!!!
Mornin’!
Thanks, Alma-b.

Good Morning TODVille!
Congrats to Chips on the gold so hardly earned!!!
🙂 Thank yooooou No Child!!
Introduction underway …
Putin has to rank somewhere near the top of the “unhinged-madmen” rulers:
OH NO…THE CNN WOLF AND PANEL ARE GATHERING TO COVER PBO’S SPEECH….YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS…ALOT OF CHATTERING FROM KNOW-NOTHINGS!
He’s already hammered Molotov-Ribbentrop 🙂
msnbc decided to yap during first 10 min of this speech.
No surprise there. That’s why I’m using the link that Chips provided for us to watch online. No use giving MSNBC ratings they don’t deserve.
I ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO CHIPS BECAUSE THESE ANCHORS HAVE SUCH INFLATED EGOS…AND THEY PRETEND THEY CAN SOLVE EVERY WORLD SITUATION THEMSELVES…PLUS…DROWNING OUT THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IS NOTHING BUT SHEER STUPIDITY!
” … a sovereign, independent EUROPEAN Nation … ” <<< that's gotta leave a deep cut in Putin's butt ….
POTUS is not playing.
I look forward to the Ukrainian President’s visit to the US later this month. 🙂
Thank you for these great tweets HF…they warm me and give me hope…
#Trust Barack
The good thing about Chuck Todd no longer being part of the WHPC…is that there is one less pundit to ask “gotcha” questions at international press conferences..
Good point.
I hope Carol Jansing is NOT his replacement.
So true! Not seeing his smirking face on these trips is a big bonus!
PrettyFoot,
Correction if I may. Not “one less pundit at the WHPC”, better say “one less toddler with ADD at the WHPC”. 😉
see… i do not think of them as toddlers…i think they know what they do….and PBO does as well…he knows that their intent is to twist an turn and lie and distort…
We really do have the BEST President ever… anywhere, anytime!
I ❤ My President!
Yeah!
🙂 🙂 🙂
Hi Everyone….Have a great day and evening all. Posting below a fantastic reference tweet from one of the best Tweeters on the #Ferguson backstory…recommended reading. Night all…
Greetings Ms Chips…please free me from moderation 🙂
Freed! Morning Bee!
thank you..of course, I shortened my name even more from Berny to Bee so wondering if that was why…nevermind…F.R.E.E.D.O.M! 🙂
No more donations to the Fraternal Order of Police from me. When they call , I will tell them that Roorda is the reason.
Excellent live tweeting of the President’s speech from the US Embassy Tallinn

Morning everyone…I’m here! Just listening intently to the President speak…wise, wise man.
YES….I am so Proud!
WP must be acting up today…my comment posted BEFORE the last comment. One of THOSE days, huh?
Wow! I am so blown away by the president’s speech. I want to be able to read it to fully absorb it because it was so much to take in at one sitting. I hope Tsar Putin heard every word and does not underestimate this president like the idiot GOP and pseudo Dems in this country. We are for one hell of a ride in the days to come.
I LOVE THOSE WORDS FROM PBO….THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO CARRY THEIR BIAS AND PREJUDICE AND UPHOLD IT WITH THEIR IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD BECAUSE HIS JUSTICE PREVAILS…ALWAYS!.
I am in complete agreement with you.
Song played as President Obama walked off stage after his speech. Excellent choice! 😀
Brilliant choice, indeed, Dudette!!!
THE BEST THING ABOUT ME IS ‘JESUS’…THAT’S WHERE MY HEART IS AND MY HOME…:)

Lots more very good photos of POTUS in Estonia here:

There is also a shot of a couple of guys who I’m guessing make it their job to protect the President and make me feel QUITE reassured!
So excited to see more pics of our president…
Soon I will catch up to everyone…
Wow…so much to absorb.
Thanks everyone for your input.
TOD is the best!
