1. Jan 2014 – The State of the Union. Love the pomp and ceremony of it. His entrance always feels like a big ‘love in’.
****
2. Jan 2014 – As the mother of sons I am all for the My Brother’s Keeper Initiative. That presentation warmed my heart.
****
3. Feb – The OFA dinner. Loved what he said to his followers, thanking them for helping him to become the President
****
4. Mar 18, 2014 – The Medal of Honor Ceremony.
****
5. April 10, 2014 – His speech at the LBJ Library gave me a deeper appreciation of the Civil rights movement and LBJ’s part in it – and removed a resentment for years against LBJ because of the assassination of JFK.
****
6. May 27, 2014 – Love to see PBO at the Science Fair. He’s like a kid again.
****
7. July 18, 2014 – Likewise I loved his comments at the Kid’s state dinner. Anytime he and Michelle are together is always sweet or fun.
****
8.Sept 19,2014 – His speech to the DNC forum should have been a forerunner to his last presser. He walks his talk.
****
9. June 23, 2014 – Loved his speech to the White House Summit on working Families.
****
10. July 31, 2014 The kiss from Tim Harris ‘I love you Obama”. Honesty – no filters, beautiful

Hello
Happy New Year, NW. Thanks for all the great posts.
Happy New Year to Chips! Love the trip to excellent speeches and pressers. Thanks.
You’re welcome, NCLB.
Happy New Year to you and yours too. 🙂
⭐ NW!! 🙂
Hello, NW!
These memorable moments choices were awesome, guys! Thanks for the memories – or at least the reminders of ’em!
Lovely! Evening folks!
Thanks Chips for giving us the opportunity to pick and choose and share. You are awesome , also!
Thank *you vetivera24, loved your memories, lots I had forgotten about so it was wonderful to see them again.
He touches all of us in our hearts but in different ways. Remarkable man!
Thank yooooooou Prettyfoot, Marlz, Mellesia and Vetivera sooooo much!
Thank you MsChipssssss…i have loved all of the memorable moments…just loved them
You are most welcome Chips.
Thank YOU for giving us this opportunity to outline SOME of our President’s achievements and events.
From these “memorable moments” it is so plain to see the love this President, his family and administration have for all American, but most importantly, it shows how difficult the work is and how hard this President is working for ALL!
I have enjoyed all the moments and these are just midgets of the enormous work that the Presidents does…can you imagine behind the scenes?!?!?
Love this “Memorable Moments” collection from PF58, Marlz, Melleisa and Vet24 🙂
Perfect – and brings back so many great memories. I don’t think that we will encounter another President like this in a hurry so we are right to savor these memorable moments as much as we can!
Thank you Hopefruit2.
There will NEVER be another President like President Obama!
As I view our Memorable Moments, I have come to the realization that we are more alike than we are different! Thank you so much, Almab, Prettyfoot, Marlz and Mellesia for sharing your Moments with us 🙂 I look forward to seeing what we each contribute to this wonderful opportunity. And of course, thank you Chips for giving us this platform!
GGail? Reminder: Our team is playing in the morning, away to Stoke, so pray for g⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽als!
Okay! I’ll go to the website to see what awful time I have to be awake to Cheer!
You have to be awake at 4:45 in the morning – do it!!!
I Know! When I looked at the time on the website, I didn’t know whether to count forward, backward, or just keep checking for the match to begin any minute now! Is that 4:45am my time, your time, east coast time – what?!!!!
I’m just gonna leave the alarm on my cell that wakes me up for work on and see what happens. I should weigh in before halftime 😀
4:45 AM ******your****** time – remember, to have the true footballing faith, you HAVE to be up in time. Go to bed. Now.
Do both eyes have to be open?
Thank you GGail…
So sorry about my tardiness, but I am just catching up..have three more days to catch up. 🙂
Oh, any idea how far behind I might be at this stage of the evening?? Someone (clever) (not so clever) decided she had to go vacuum and wash the car this morning, then filled the tank ($2.77/US gal), then came back and detailed said automobile…. same someone can barely move her aching body this evening! So, sup?? 🙂 ❤ 🐻 😉
So. Much. Goodness! Buh-Bye, 2014!! ❤
Egg sackly!1!1!
It’s a special talent.
Tis 🙂
almost genius level.
I know this husbandy attitude:)
Thinks he deserves a national holiday or something 🙂 I just smile… 34 years on Jan 2nd. That’s LOTS of smiles!
Yup…..I know this too. When he looked up at me for approval after doing some BIIIIIG thing…..like emptying the dishwasher…..I gave him a one-handed round of applause…….then he laughed and I laughed, and he stopped, eventually, asking for recognition for each little thing…..it’s taken 48 years…..so df, you have a few to go!!!!!
I was talking with a woman today who refused to stay home and retire because her husband works from home. She said, I had to get out, because he wanted me to watch him work and applaud him! Yep……..
Gotta go to sleep if I want to be awake for the East Coast New Year entrance, zzzzzz
It wouldn’t be New Year’s without Knoller tweeting some crap about PBO’s golf…
Oh phuck off doughboy Knoller
😆
He’s one sick, obsessed puppy.
BOOM! Thanks Chips
WIN! 🙂
TOD wins twitter!! Yes indeedie – what a response
love it the kenyan doesn’t give a shite about whiners.
Ok, I think I ate my Chinese too fast. Feel meh. Might be back later, but if not, feliz año nuevo!
😦 😦
Tell me about it. I even decided against another gimlet.
Drink some water and go to bed….you’ll be better tomorrow.
Here is something I have been thinking for along time, if FLOTUS doesn’t mind POTUS playing golf, why does it seem to bother others like Mark Knoller.
It seem Knoller is not happy unless he tells us that POTUS is playing golf, how much he is playing golf, with whom he is playing golf, etc., etc., etc. 214 times since taking office, well Knoller he has two more years, I’m sure you will let us know about those two years.
Night all. Happy New Year to everyone:) Stay safe and warm out there!
Let the New Year begin!
This is awesome. Ha Ha. The perfect New Year’s wishes to send to my slightly twisted friends. Thanks for sharing NW! 🙂
Night desertflower and a Happy and Wonderful New Year to you. Rest up and stay warm. It is a little chill on the place here, but still lovely today.
I am trying to do a few chores before the New Year rings us in on the west coast. To my beautiful TOD family all over, have a glorious, peaceful, and just plain old fun New Year. We will take each day with a beautiful smile of gratefulness and make the best out of each moment in each day.
Still keeping our wonderful and brilliant President’s back!!! I love my Chips and my TOD family.HZ
Love you back, HZ! Have a blissful, yet feisty, New Year! I have our President’s back, too!
HZ, you are just AWESOME! Happy New Year to our zen TOD family member.
❤
Delurking to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to our beloved Chips, Nerdy, all other TOD BTs, regular TOD commenters and occasional lurker commenters like me. Thank you hopefruit for always greeting us lurkers when you “enter the room”. All of you have made every day of 2014 a most informed, tolerable, awesome year. Don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t come to TOD for truth, news, information, and like-minded support of PBO.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the 2014 Most Memorable Moments posts and voting for the pic of the month & year. I voted, but if mine doesn’t win, I will still be happy because they are all winners in my mind.
Once more, HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL! Can’t wait to see what PBO has in store for the next year of his “lame duck presidency”. HA! 🙂
All caught up, whew. Y’all are a most amazing mob of amazing people. I have no doubt at all PBO and the WH know exactly what is what with this blog. I am unwinding, all chores done, have a glass of Syrah beside my rocking chair, and listening to the occasional fire crackers, while waiting for midnight. Kitty does NOT like fire crackers, thank. you. very. much. Happy New Year, indeed!! _^..^_ 😦
I want to wish everybody here at TOD a very Happy and healthy New Year! Thank you Chips, NW, and all the other bt’s for all the work you do in putting these posts together every day.
Happy New Year to y’all on the East Coast!!!!!
Happy New Year, east coasters!
Well, my new year is here, you laggards.
Happy and Blessed 2015 to you, Wifey Amk, Ms Amk, Master Amk, Jenny, and Jelly’s offsprings!
Thank you, vc. I wish the same to you, your son unit …. and the geese.
Happy NEW YEAR! Party was a smashing success; however, been in the hospital since Monday night — allergy induced asthma with a side of pneumonia. Recovering well and I am blessed.
Some of my family members “forget” and still wear perfumes or come bearing gifts from their dogs, cats, horses, etc…
Funny thing is, the folks that are trying to kill me aren’t even in the “will” LOL.
I’m Blessed by the best; and TOD has certainly been a Blessing to me. Love you all. Happy New year.
Love your spirit about life, Alycee! Happy New Year and GET BETTER fast, so you can enjoy it!
Alycee, I’m sorry you are in the hospital. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a happy and healthier New Year.
Alycee, sjTerriD x 2!
‘Enjoy’ the remaining days of someoneS taking care of you, then bounce back as soon as you’re able to truly make the most of 2015!
Happy New Year TOD Family!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Our President still has a few hours to go in Hawaii before toasting to 2015. 🙂
The music’s one of the best things about CNN’s coverage from Times Square! Like this one:
Thanks for sharing, PrettyFoot, Marlz, Mellesia and Alma-B! It’s great to have the reiteration of certain memorable moments; shows the impact they have had on many.
Thank you VC…a little late but Happy New Year!
Not late at all, Marlz, the year is still new and fresh! 😉
So, this should be good for a year at least, bt?
Get a room, you two! Ha.
as long as she pays for it.
/runs
Good luck with that. 🙂
Happy New Year, amk!
well, I paid for the roses….
Happy & Healthy New Year to you, bardess.
Duhhh. I suspect Petal wants you to show you care by taking the time to separate the petals of the roses. One has to tell you every. thing.
Happy New Year everybody!
Theo, wishing you, and yours, a Marvelous 2015! No doubt you will continue to be a nomad when you’re not working – Enjoy!
WooHoo Happy New Year TOD ~ Wishing everyone a most excellent 2015!
This is funny. I’ve been crawling down the thread and adding my messages, arriving at this spot just as the # 1 was showing. Only then did it click that it was actually already January 1st.
I think this is the perfect time to go to bed!
Happy New Year to everyone on the east coast!!!
I’m in the midwest and we have 10 mins. to go! You have a couple of hours, yes? Come on, New Year!!!
Work? Ha.
And Happy New Year, fellow midwesterners – and to all on the west coast, when ya get there! And I’m outta here!
I am still waiting Jacqueline. Not really enjoying NBC or ABC’s New Year’s programs.
Just getting back here … I turned to BET last night for the same reason!
Happy New Year!
hau’oli makahiki hou! happy new year to all obamadons partying here tonight, and to all the supporters of pbo everywhere. this will be the year of obama. all the msm and rethug pundits who want to make this year about 2016, or about bibi or putin or the queen’s hemorrhoids will have to just suck it up, because pbo will ROCK THIS YEAR!!! can’t wait to enjoy every minute with all of you ❤
Dear PrettyFoot, Marlz, Mellissa Barnett, Vetivera
Thank you for sharing your respective “Memorable Moments” – it is so fulfilling to scroll to each selection and reminisce. President Obama fills our lives with so much good.
Thank you Chips for assembling the post.
Happy New Year TOD and I’ll leave you with a very special recording of Beethoven’s 9th both because of what it commemorates and because we often attend a performance on New Year’s Eve or Day though not this year ….
Good night TOD
Thank you Bob… and Thanks for always telling like it is on Twitter. Read all your post on international news (especially Russia)!
Happy New Year (although I am a bit late)!
Happy New Year TODers from California and Pacific Standard Time!
Thank you for helping to make 2014 memorable! Thank you to Prettyfoot, Marlz, Melissa B and Vetivera for highlighting these memorable moments (still need to check out VCs – looking forward to it)!
Thank you Chips (and Danny) for being our anchor. Thank you to Nerdy for all of your hard work informing us. Thank you to LL and other contributors.
I watched Kathy Griffin and Anderson C tonight (the only time all year I have turned on CNN). They showed New Year’s celebrations around the world and one of the spots featured was Havana, Cuba! This made my heart glad. Thank you President Obama for helping to transform this world!
So looking forward to the coming year 2015, now that PBO is in full superhero mode. And I’m especially looking forward to sharing it with all of you fellow TODers!
An early Happy New Year to our Hawaii TODers and to the President and his family, who will be ringing in 2015 in a couple of hours!
Happy New Year TOD!
Thank you, Ms. Chips and everyone here.
Just getting in( this is NYC) so the party is just really getting started.
I have to be up early so I need to rest a bit.
I will enjoy the last chocolates as I enjoy Mr. Bobfr’s video Beethoven no.9.
What a momentus, marvelous, memorable, remarkable year!
POB’s presidency ushered in the east winds of our lives.
As we approach the final year of this remarkable legacy he will leave for us the west winds are quickly upon us.
I am expecting so much more wonderful, jaw dropping amazing things to happen this year that it will absolutely blow our beautiful minds!
The answer my friends are blowing in the wind………
Mooooooooorning!
