The Obama Diary 
I love that pic
Congrats Mellesia 🙂
Thank you, I am willing to share the gold medal with Amk
Why, thank you, MB.
see vc?
I shall have to have a private talk with Mellesia (about female solidarity and all that).
Oh, so do I, Mellesia! What a generous soul you are.
Congrats Mellesia on furst 🙂
What a precious little angel who greeted the president with flowers.
furst.
Furst to you too, A!
oie canadienne
So funny – I read this first in the small notification box without glasses, and saw ‘ole’, as in ‘old’ Canadian. I come closer to tell you ‘Ms’ Canadian to you, only to discover you were practising a new language. What’s this to be – your 4th or your 5th?
I can speak all the languages …. as long as google does it too.
😀 How many do you actually speak independent of The Google?
Four.
I am #jej.
😎
Nope … again … good morning amk 🙂
This should bring a grin to your Sat morning face ….
he didn’t even get that. #serendipity
Yup 😀
Bibi is out of his league. He should know by now President Obama always win
Did Israel apologize for stealing highly sensitive documents? NO!
Love it. Now with Iran deal pretty much taken care of except for the sound and fury signifying nothing, the attention goes back to DAESH. Turkey entering the fray both by giving a base for US bombers and getting into the action themselves, methinks there will be a lot of good news on that front as well.
And yes, the suicide bombing played a role, but there is no doubt in my mind some nudging from PBO and the administration played a key role.
John, PBO, the Europeans (especially NATO), the Iraqis and Iranians have been turning screws on Erdogan for months. Everyone is aware of all the evidence of Turkish troops aiding DAESH. But, I think that suicide attack plus PBO’s call a couple of days ago solidified the fact that if Erdogan wanted Turkey to remain in NATO he’d better get on the right side of history and stay put.
It changes the dynamics of the manned and unmanned air offensive against DAESH to have US/NATO forces able to use the two Turkish airfields, for sure. It’s also a blow to the Turkish “Sunni/Salafi” underbelly.
Congrats, Mellesia!
X2 Mellesia 😉
That bouquet is almost bigger than that little girl. She is so sweet and POTUS is smitten with her.
This evil POS thinks that the law doesn’t apply to him…his lawyers evidently should be disbarred for knowingly failing to hand over these records. I hope this man rots somewhere…he is an arrogant, racist SOB.

DF, I have stories that would curl your hair about Arpaio from this case. This guy is going down.
Do tell!!! I hate what this fraud has done to this county, the taxpayers and this state….he needs to be locked up for a long, long time.
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
🙂
I would love to see that happen. Lol.
lololololol I thought the exact same thing. hahahahahahaha
so the kenyan is finally in the bertcertland?
And if you had better timing you could have been there to help him locate ….whatever!
I am there. Only next week.
See? Better timing was needed, buddy.
Nope. It’s all the kenyan muslin usurper of a dictator’s fault. He should have told me earlier. Come on, how hard it is to pick up a phone and call?
Harder than you checking WH.GOV *before* you make travel plans.
then, it’s all #yourfault.
You do know your logic has been going haywire in the last few months, dontcha?
‘sup?
Who’s Chewie (and why does he need angels)?
head/desk.
head/desk.
head/desk.
😀 #only3times……one for each angel, I guess
I think Chewie means Chewbacca from Star Wars taking the place of Charlie who was in charge of Charlie’s Angels.
indians
limeys
Yeah, the limey’s do it better, I agree.
So enjoying seeing the President in the land of his father. Feeling emotional.
Maybe someone’s head should roll…

Fat chance of that ever happening on the NYT, Df. I’m sure they will continue to deny screwing up and remain unrepentant even if every word they wrote is proved wrong.
It is wrong…they need to be held accountable…otherwise, they may as well be Fox(not) News
How utterly “convenient”
I would love to see POTUS and FLOTUS invite Mama Sarah to the White House.
Wouldn’t it be great if he took her back in AF1? After all, the worthless media hacks get to ride with him, why not her?
He’s working every major foreign policy issue currently underway, meta …. warm ups …. 🙂
LOVE this wedding photo:
Maya, Auma, Mr & Mrs. Craig Robinson and first wife I am guessing. What a lovely wedding party.
Driving down I-25 toward Albuquerque, we pass a car with a “Netanyahu For President” bumper sticker. Hubby says “Are we in the f—–g Twilight Zone?”
Yes – at times…
Okay let’s get it right, POTUS will be speaking at what time 3:25am. And will we be able to see him?
And will we be able to see him?
Good point, Annieb. I’m so spoiled by TOD I never even considered that. 😀 Wouldn’t be too happy if I woke up, then couldn’t access it!
This Kenyan livestream will probably have it:

😀
That’s pretty funny.
I am just now getting an opportunity to view today’s events uninterrupted. While at work, I saw a video CNN interview of Auma, but I am unable to find the Post it is on. Can someone help me please?
I think it was this link, GGail: http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/22/politics/obama-family-kenya-brooke-baldwin/
Thanks Judith!!
🙂
🙂
Practice run to be the next First Lady.
Reminder to remind folks. 😉
If you want to be inspired or know a student who is about to enter college, this is a MUST SEE from an event that took place yesterday.
meta, it is worth watching again and again and again. I have done just that.
I agree. And that’s true of so many White House YouTubes.
I worry that all this great media is going to go away when they leave the WH but I’m hoping that it will somehow be archived at the Obama Foundation.
Hey Chips! Just saw this and wasn’t sure if it had been posted yet.
Today, President Obama visits Kenya — the 50th country he has visited during his Administration. It’s also my 50th country traveling with the President.
To mark the occasion, as I did when the President visited his 50th state, I chose one photograph from each country that we’ve visited.

This is the psycho the press designated as a “drifter.”
no, no. no. he was a theater patron.
fuck you, teann.
Yeah, that, too. Insane gloss.
I am finding it difficult to feel sorry for people who live in a state who’s representatives make it easy for the mentally ill to get guns and the mentally ill NRA supporters. It was not those women fault they were gunned down but the people in the “right to own guns” states need to wake the F up.
Don’t forget FLOTUS will be at the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics tomorrow in L.A. If I am not mistaken it will be carried by ESPN.
New post.
