Don’t be jealous Chips. I haven’t seen a Galaxy game, but I did like that t-shirt Tally had the other day. Maybe I could wear the Galaxy t-shirt while I’m watching the ManU game. I’m in my home…who’s gonna know? 😀
PBO is the most magnetic, most powerful man in the world, and to be next to him would be a dream come true…….In all her life, I bet she never thought this could happen to her. She’ll live on this for years. As we say in the ‘south” “Bless her heart.”
Ah, you heard me saying those words in my head carolyn, “bless her heart”. 🙂
And I give her a lot of credit – she managed to play it pretty calm for the most part.
You know Meta, it’s probably just as well Julia Gillard isn’t Australian PM anymore because there’d be war between her and Portia at the next Commonwealth gathering 🙂
(That sounds very sexist, but I’m allowed ‘cos I’m a girl)
There are also many men the world over who would do the same meta – there is much admiration & envy underlying how the republicans react to the President – women are just plain honest.
mmmm – could I add that I was very very very young when I first listened (no TV) to Benaud playing cricket 🙂 My dad used to explain the finer points of the game – with true Aussie language – to the world in general – and me in particular.
Both of those remarks are very much PBO policies – so perhaps he has decided to stop trying to distance himself from the President – I can hope this is the case.
Hello all. I have not been able to post much but have been reading and taking in all the real news from other TODers. Thanks so much.
Just want to know if I ‘m reading too much into tweets and reports but does it seem to any one else that Gov O’Malley is not only distancing himself from PBO but taking subtle and not so subtle digs at his presidency? I am feeling rather disappointed about that.
I would be happy if this impression is due to my not being able to follow as much in the recent past few weeks.
Yes, Chips, thanks for this road trip with PBO. I don’t want you to feel like I that you for granted, but dammit if you didn’t have this trip Posted for us, it would have been hell for you to pay!!! ❤
Thank you for bringing it up criquet – the WHPC travel with the President to have a vacation – not to bring news of the trip to the US – Ms Chips is not only the diarist but also the travel guide 🙂 🙂
Holy Heavens, this lady has it really bad for POTUS.
Seriously, she just didn’t care that the world was watching her flirt and practically she was just making POTUS a tad uncomfortable.
County police should go – States/Feds should handle all policing. I know there are problems in regard to state police but a state has more power/funding to handle these issues.
Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but it’s what I’m thinking. The PM of Jamacia acted like a, never mind I won’t say it. Can we be sure she didn’t sneak on AF1 and follow POTUS?
The Obama Diary 
I’d probably knock people down to hug him.
🙂 Tallllllly!
Hey GIRRRRRRL!!! 😀 😀 😀
She gave two goodbye kisses.
They were check kisses – right JER? 🙂
Yes.
🙂
Wow Tally!!
😀
I’d probably knock you down next.
No ‘probably’ about it. Hi,Tally-girl!
Hey VC!!! 😀
Same here!!
Tal-ly!!! ⭐ I can say very publicly that I love him. Also. Too. Outta my way, bubba!! (And he would get this same look as he watched me faint!!)
HAAAAAA!!!!
I would have told those other PMs to get lost!
Hey Tally girl
And look who’s in third place – JER!!!!
WOOOOT!!!
Go Galaxy 🙂
Two-timer!!!! 👿
Don’t be jealous Chips. I haven’t seen a Galaxy game, but I did like that t-shirt Tally had the other day. Maybe I could wear the Galaxy t-shirt while I’m watching the ManU game. I’m in my home…who’s gonna know? 😀
OMG, that’s like being married twice, you polygamist!!!!
Hahahahaha, I went from bad to worst ROFLMAO!!!!!
We will know, GGail – we know everything, about everyone and everything. 😉
MP, you folks don’t even pay me any attention when I watching soccer with Chips, y’all just glad I got something to occupy me – I know 😀 😀
And HOT MEN RUNNING FOR 90 MINUTES WITH NO COMMERCIALS = WIN.
Tally – you understand 😀 😀
How perfect! Mother Nature smiles on our PBO!
Oh. My. Goodness.
THIS is why we love him. He never forgets ❤
Greatest. President. Eva!
PBO is the most magnetic, most powerful man in the world, and to be next to him would be a dream come true…….In all her life, I bet she never thought this could happen to her. She’ll live on this for years. As we say in the ‘south” “Bless her heart.”

And isn’t she a beautiful ray of yellow sunshine among all the dark suits.
delayed meal time
After today, I am fluent in Jamaican 🙂
I’m glad you’ve figured it out because I’m hopeless lost. Really!
Wha gwaan? – Means `What’s happening? How is everything?
Mi deh ya – I am here, I am good
Evryting plug in, nuttn nuh plug out – All is well
Thank you very much!
😯
WHOA, girl!!
You know Meta, it’s probably just as well Julia Gillard isn’t Australian PM anymore because there’d be war between her and Portia at the next Commonwealth gathering 🙂
(That sounds very sexist, but I’m allowed ‘cos I’m a girl)
INORITE
There are plenty of women the world over who would go toe to toe for a moment with him, any time of the day or night. Heh.
I would probably literally MELT. Into a PUDDLE. After making a complete and utter insane, hysterical, fool of myself.
Oh, yeah.
There are also many men the world over who would do the same meta – there is much admiration & envy underlying how the republicans react to the President – women are just plain honest.
This is most probably definitely true. Absolutely.
And also – the truth! 🙂
YASSSS!!
99ts, really sad to hear Richie Benaud died, loved his commentaries over the years 😦
I am so old – I loved him more as a player than a commentator. First captain of the Oz team that I remember – and a spinner as well – quite unusual
Ah, you’re a fine wine, 99ts!!
mmmm – could I add that I was very very very young when I first listened (no TV) to Benaud playing cricket 🙂 My dad used to explain the finer points of the game – with true Aussie language – to the world in general – and me in particular.
I too thought of Julia 😀
Umm, someone better show her FLOTUS “Give Me 5” video one more time…….
😆 😆 😆
I guess O’Malley will announce his candidacy soon…
Both of those remarks are very much PBO policies – so perhaps he has decided to stop trying to distance himself from the President – I can hope this is the case.
That’s what I was thinking also…these sound like they came right out of a PBO speech…
Maybe he listened – and/or realised this could be the path to defeating Hillary.

On a brighter note, thanks so much Ms Chips and Co for the coverage of the Jam Town trip-it was stellar.
Ah, thank *you* Criquet!!
Yes, Chips, thanks for this road trip with PBO. I don’t want you to feel like I that you for granted, but dammit if you didn’t have this trip Posted for us, it would have been hell for you to pay!!! ❤
My special thanks to you also Chips. You rock!!!!
I echo that thanks to Chips for her coverage of President Obama’s trip to Jamaica. Lovely.
Thank you sooooOOOooOOoooOOooo much pkayden and everyone for the kind words, you lovely lovely people!!
Thank you for bringing it up criquet – the WHPC travel with the President to have a vacation – not to bring news of the trip to the US – Ms Chips is not only the diarist but also the travel guide 🙂 🙂
Oh my, PM Portia’s got it bad!! Sweeeeet dreams to her tonight!!
There’s no denying President Obama’s incredible magnetism. He’s got it ALL.
Lucky woman!
I kind of expected he to light a cigarette or something after that kiss.
Hahahaha!
Chips thanks for the Jamaica coverage. It was superb as usual.
I’ll just leave this right here because I read that HRC might be announcing this weekend. I will hammer ANY candidate that doesn’t understand this!
PERFECT. I would I could RT this a thousand times.
SAY It LOUDDDDDDDDD!!!!
THIS! thanks Donna
OMG, I could listen to this ALL DAY
nice!!!
PREACH GIRL!!!
Thank you Nerdy!!!!!!!
Great round up, NW.
Thanks NW – a great set of tweets to start my day 🙂
I have noted the expressions on the faces of the male heads of state as the Jamaican PM “asserted her ‘right’ to PBO proximity”
They were jealous – that she was able to take the place she wanted – they wanted not do the same 🙂
BREAKING NEW: TRUE DETECTIVE SEASON TWO!!!! TRUE DETECTIVE SEASON TWO!!!!
It had better bring it because McConaughey (Rust) and Harrelson (Marty) were bow down awesome!

Holy Heavens, this lady has it really bad for POTUS.
Seriously, she just didn’t care that the world was watching her flirt and practically she was just making POTUS a tad uncomfortable.
Congrats Tally on your Au ⭐

Touchdown
Cops are out of control.
Too much power, too much hate – they see the people they “serve” as their enemies
County police should go – States/Feds should handle all policing. I know there are problems in regard to state police but a state has more power/funding to handle these issues.
Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but it’s what I’m thinking. The PM of Jamacia acted like a, never mind I won’t say it. Can we be sure she didn’t sneak on AF1 and follow POTUS?
do you think the gunman realized what the Census Bureau does?
Barbara Boxer you go girl. These other Senators are traitors to POTUS and are making me physically ill.
