The Obama Diary 
My fav!
Happy to please. 🙂
Congratulations on first.
Thanks, You don’t only ‘please’ but educate as well. Thank you. I wanna piece of Jesus. Amen.
Aren’t we all.
I’m craving a piece of Jesus right now. 🙂
Gravy train’s awaitin’
THAT’S NOT FUNNY!
SPEAKING AGAINST JESUS CHRIST IS WRONG AND I WILL NOT BE BACK HERE……………..I AM TURNING MY PUTER OVER TO INVESTIGATIONS!
Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome Nerdy – love all the newsie tweets, but I may never ever ever ever stop laughing at the sandwich thief!! Thank you Legend!!
Thanks.
I cracked up too. 🙂
It’s such a dick move. If you look at the picture, it’s a guy who keeps stealing someone else’s food. So typical. If I caught the guy, I’d go for the balls first.
Part of me loves the sandwich stealer, though – which I know is sooooooooo wrong 🙂
I know, right? I laughed too, because damn, that is some kind of crazy.
But imagine if you’re the one whose food keeps getting stolen. Not once, not twice, but everyday. You’ve taken the time to prepare your food and some dude is stealing it. That’s something that can drive one crazy.
When you hear that a coworker stabbed another coworker, it’s because of stuff like this. LOL.
I’m afraid to check the news now in case it’s ‘BREAKING: Sandwich Thief Murdered’.
But if I had a sandwich as delicious as Turkey and Swiss with mayo on rye, I’d put it in a safe #Temptation
Confession time: i stole a liitle troll from a coworker’s desk once. Took pictures of it in different spots all over the office bldg (fridge, roof, courtyard, lobby, etc) and left them for her w/ ransom notes in the form of limericks every day. By the end of the week the whole office was in on trying to guess who had the troll and where it would end up next. On Friday I got my ransom (two bagels w/ cream cheese and hot coffee from the cafe downstairs) and scores of fans. My cutie-pie boss called me “deliciously evil” [couple of debbie-downers said it was disruptive. There’s always one or two out there].
Fun times! 😀
Great Tweets, NW. Thank you so very much.
Vetivera has the Gold ⭐
Thanks, Nena.
Nice try, GOP. No dice.
Who in the world would ask such a dumb ass question?

#NotReady4HRC
I so remember that campaign moment. That was the moment her ship started going down.
Yep. And, it will matter even more if she tries to run, again.
Sleep deprived? WTH? Honestly, she’s just trying to BS her way through and can’t even do that.
Of course. Not surprising at all.
Assholes.
AWESOME collection of tweets, NW, each one so full. THank you.
Thanks, Meta.
Sometimes I just have no more words to say…..the ache within me is strong
So I guess she’s going to raid his staff now with 2 years left to go, just because she can. And what does that say about the ones willing to leave?
I’d say it might be what President Obama might (no idea) say if they want to leave: Go.
Knowing him, he’d wish them all the best and never look back. I get that many of them need jobs for the future, but I don’t get why they’d follow her after working for President Obama.
That’s my point. I guess the DNC kool-aid at this point is pretty strong. Everyone’s convinced she’s The One.
Except a gazillion of us who haven’t tasted the kool-aid since February 2007. I don’t know how I’ll feel, if she’s the nominee. She and Bill showed their true colors last time. Yuck.
Also, in Palmieri’s case, I think she started out as Clinton staff.
That’s different, then.
Yes and we haven’t ever seen her advocate strongly for President Obama. I was surprised when she came on board and do not agree that her leaving is a loss of any kind.
It is a favorite meme to make every staff change a BFD when it is PBO. I bet if statistics were available on staff changes in the last few presidencies we would see that coming and going is the norm.
In her first few outings as PBO spokesperson Jennifer Palmieri flubbed badly and i can’t recall the last time I’ve seen her.
I do remember her all-in for lady Walmart in 2007, especially frequently on with Tweety.
Of course, since I haven’t watched Chris Matthews in a year I may have missed her.
#nomoreclintons
Well, at least she wants to hire the best. The Obama team is the best.
I try to pretend HRC doesn’t exist. If she’s on the ballot for the general I’ll vote for her and then go right back to pretending she doesn’t exist. If any of you get a chance to read the Reagan Racism article in Salon, please do so. It explains where Dems are headed as they pivot back to a southern strategy.
they are so afraid of the OBAMA Coalition and the promise that it holds for our country…it is a force that they cannot control…BUT they cannot win without us…
i am taking many deep breaths…i see the handwriting on the wall…
i eagerly await to see what the President does…..will prove to be interesting
I will do whatever my President ask of me. I totally have his back.I will do my duty but that’s it. I’m gonna spend my money on all things PBO. THey get my vote but not my money.
Thanks for your perspective. I am on the same track.
The Southern strategy offends my entire soul.
Now the Nose job many years ago makes sense.
I wish them well.
I do too. I wish bruce and his family the very best
The man accused of operating Silk Road, a deep web marketplace where illegal drugs were sold, has been found guilty.
Ross Ulbricht, 30, was convicted by a Manhattan jury on all seven counts including narcotics and money laundering conspiracies.
Prosecutors said more than a million drug deals took place on Silk Road, earning Ulbricht about $18m in Bitcoins
His defence lawyers had argued he was framed for much of the site’s activity and had quit the site.
The jury deliberated less than day before handing down the verdict, which leaves Ulbricht facing a possible life sentence.

And now Williams has deleted *all* his tweets
http://twitter.com/BWilliams
Whoa. He probably tweeted on multiple occasions about his now made-up story and doesn’t want any screen capture.
How does one delete all their tweets? Is there a Twitter button for that?
I was wondering that too, some days I’d be very tempted to use it!!
I think you can do that in settings.
a liar and a coward. wtg, nbc.
He actually never tweeted. I checked a long while back and there was nothing.
Oh really Meta, I just assumed he had!
I can’t remember what the deal was but I wanted to tweet him something about a year ago and when I checked his account there was nada. He set it up and then probably never figured out how to use it.
Crikey, that’s odd! Thanks Meta.
wow. you’re right! Nothin’ there.
Why did he ever think he wouldn’t be called on it – the media is above suspicion? Wow but the US pundits really love themselves their media

Et tu, Brian Williams?
Reggie Love’s book is excellent and a great read. Coming of age, the Barack Obama in campaign mode that we all followed. Gracious, determined, always ready to do the right thing, what is best for all the people. He recounts the TARP vote and asking why the Senator was helping President Bush when it was not to the Democrats’ advantage. He counseled Reggie to think of all the small businesses and people who would be hurt if it did not pass. Very positive book.
I will buy this book for sure. A look behind the scenes that confirms, once more, what we’ve known all along: Barack Obama is a man of great integrity. Always putting the country and its people FIRST.
Barack Obama is one of the best presidents America has EVER had. Period.

BJP just hasn’t been in office long enough.
modi sheen is starting to wear off. He is getting into a nasty fight with an upstart party, which is barely two years old. His nasty streak is showing and is turning off people right where he ‘rules’.
Oh thank the various deities. Even though he had a bromance with PBO.
Both are personally non-corrupt. So there is that.

ROFL! So many good ones on that hashtag! 😀
Really, I haven’t figured out which of the two is ‘petty’ – the owner for complaining or the thief for offering a deal. Neither fits the bill to me.
Also, IMO, there is no way anyone should be able to steal your sandwich more than once, and having stolen it, there’s no waaay I’d eat it if it were returned! People have some ‘weird’ ideas about food. You look into my lunch, even inadvertently, I throw it away. How could I tell? If it looked like it was opened. Of course, I solved that by never leaving my lunch in the staff room fridge.
Remind
meyourself never to have bf/lunch/dinner with you. While I await my order, I always look at what others ordered and then think, why didn’t you think of that, you idjit.No problemo, pard. If we’re in a restaurant you are welcome to look and get ideas….and I wouldn’t even charge you. 😀 It’s when someone opens my lunch packet/bag/container, or, god forbid, smells something I was about to eat that my hunger vanishes. I find all of those scenarios quite rude!

There’s a President who tells the truth, because – in his case – the truth can be told.
I just love his expression on his face, the reverence, and the way they are all looking at the desk, taking it all in. It means something to him and, by extension, to them. Amazing photo.

Even though Nancy Smash’s presence in the House is so important and can’t be duplicated, I kinda wish she’d switch over to become an adviser in the White House to President Obama for his last two years.
Wow, that’s a very interesting idea.
I kinda wish she’d run for POTUS.
Sounds good to me.

// ………………………..
First of all, he said this about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Why did he start with a bus boycott? Why didn’t he start with something like schools, or jobs, or voting? Couldn’t a bus boycott come later?
When you face an opponent over a broad front, you don’t aim at the opponent’s strong points. You aim for something a little off to the side. But you win it. And having won that bus boycott…13 months it took him to do it…then he moved on to other things.
This struck me as incredibly powerful when I first heard it.
