The Obama Diary 
Morning everyone, the press conference is nearly over but just click back in the video to see it all. Happy Monday!
good morning chips! just about ready to call it a day here š
Mooooooooooooorning Susanne!!! š
Typical WHPC stupid question – wonderful answer
gm all – thank you Ms Chips for great travelogue – and keeping up with the time
Good evening 99ts! Confession: I only saw the last few minutes, way too busy snoring š
I am very confused by the time – haven’t seen anything live – despite it probably suits my time – sigh
Do think it’s time he left the WHPC at home – the world can do without their RWNJ questions
I’m sitting here trying to convert the rest of his schedule today in to EDT time, and I’m totally running out of fingers. My first calculation put this evening’s state dinner as happening yesterday.
Bless you – it’s probably tomorrow – but yesterday works for me.
i was irritated that the question about huckaby came up at this venue, but i sure do love the president’s response!!!
and now i can sleep. š
so the murkan msm klowns are showing off their kkklowns on the international level? nice.
Their usual ignorance on display. I haven’t seen the start of the presser yet, but I assume they didn’t show much interest in Africa. Morning Mister!
I just wish the kenyan would unload on them calling their questions stupid and move on to other reporters.
Morning Missy.
The depth of the stupidity and self absorption of the WHPC never fails to disappoint. They have no shame about appearing as vacuous dunces on an international stage because they’re incapable of seeing beyond themselves. They think they’re hotshots who can say and do anything because they’re paid a lot of money by their corporate bosses.
It never surprises either jackie – started day 1 to assist the GOP make sure PBO was a 1 term President. What an abject failure of the media.
THIS IS IT…RIGHT HERE………………….TRUMP IS A MIRROR OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY….PBO HAS BEEN TREATED WORSE THAN A TRASH PICK UP IN THIS COUNTRY…WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND AND WE REAP WHAT WE SOW. PERSONALLY…I WISH WE COULD MOVE THE WHITEHOUSE TO KENYA AND ETHIOPIA…WHERE IT IS QUITE APPARENT THAT MOST OF THE ADULTS LIVE…THEY KNOW HOW TO TREAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. I AM SICKENED BY OUR ACTONS IN AMERICA!…THEN AGAIN…ITS FOUNDATION HAS BEEN OFF BALANCE SINCE THE BEGINNING!
AGAIN….WE DO NOT DESERVE THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ADULT PRESIDENT!
Yes, that is so true Mr. President. Not a dam one of these so call Republicans who are running for President, stood up and said to Donald Trump and any other of those birthers out there, you need to put this nonsense to rest because Barack H. Obama is an American, he was born in this country.
John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, all of the Republicans were silent.
TELL IT, MR. PRESIDENT.
POTUS comments about what Huckabee said was right on. Good for you Mr. President. I hope that reporter from Fox got every word he said. I hope all the media did.
I have never heard this President attack any Republican personal, he have disagreed with them and said so, but none of it has never been personal. Like Marco Rubio saying that President Obama had no class.
How is unohoo’s relationship with the mailman/ups guy?
Of course, we know how it is with the squirrels. #prettytense.
I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING WELL SO LAGGING BEHIND…BUT JUST READ THE GARBAGE SPEWED BY’ HUCK’ASICK…THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A PRETEND CHRISTIAN WHO DOES NOT TRUST IN THE AWESOME POWER OF GOD AND CONTINUES TO SLANDER HIS FELLOW MAN. HE DISGUSTS ME!…AND CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS!
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, Sue. Hope your day gets better. People like Huckabee take too much oxygen out of the air. They’re not worth it.
STENCH IS THE WORD JOB….I SENT HIM OVER TO FB WITH MY WANNABEEEEE ALLEGED CHRISTIAN COMMENTS…AM SURE THEY WILL LOVE IT!
Good Morning Everybody!
This article has some details on PBO’s visit, although no times.
GM TOD, Happy Monday.
I am unable to leave due to car problems…….I am hoping to get a Jump soon š¦
Thanks TOD for keeping me a tad calm. The POTUS’ presser was fantastic. Thanks Chips.
āI mean, weāve had a sitting senator call John Kerry Pontius Pilate. We had a sitting senator who also happens to be running for president suggesting that Iām the leading state sponsor of terrorism. These are leaders in the Republican party.ā
āPart of what, historically, has made America great is particularly when it comes to foreign policy, thereās been a recognition that these issues are too serious, that issues of war and peace are of such grave concern and consequence that we donāt play fast and loose that way,ā he concluded.
perfect.
And will this ever get back to the people of the US? I hope he saves these statements to mention in every speech he gives in support of the dem nominee – whoever that may be – cause the WHPC sure isn’t going to repeat anything he says. I will always blame the press more than the GOP for the horror of RW US politics. They shut down any attempt to call out GWB for 5 long years.
BOOM. PBO said exactly what needed to be said. What the disgusting WHPC and others in the media won’t ever admit.
I’d say this is a bit of a concern
Morning all. I am off to a medical follow up appointment this am and am kind of anxious about the results. See you all later.
Wishing you the VERY best Jackie, let us know how you got on.
Best wishes, jackie. May it be good news.
Hoping for the best results JG!
Fingers crossed for positive results, jackie.
Thinking of you Jackie – take care
Sending you ā¤ , Comfort and a better outcome, Jackie.
Be well.
Praying for you…keep positive!
Sending positive vibes JackieG ā¤ļø
Hopeing for good results for you
need to spell check my fingers. sorry
Be well, my friend.
Lost in translation?

G’morning Chips & TOD! Even amk. Happy Monday everyone. š Thanks Chips for posting PBO’s presser. Would’ve totally missed it otherwise. I’m glad he put those jackals in their places and put a spotlight on the GOP’s utter hypocrisy and lack of seriousness about governing.
Bit of a short walk there.
Bit unusual walk too

Inspiring Doc āThe Curators of Dixon Schoolā Screening at Black Cinema House in Chicago Sunday July 26
Shadow and Act
By Sergio | Shadow and Act
July 24, 2015 at 9:02PM
The Dixon Elementary public school located on Chicagoās South Side is without question one of the most unique public schools in the country. The teachers and administrators who run the school intended it to be not only a place of learning, but also a place of inspiration.
As a result, the school has surrounded the hallways and the outside property with over 200 beautiful and colorful works of art, and priceless sculptures by some of the foremost African-American artists in the country, such as Dayo Laoye, Carolyn Elaine, Peter Gray and Faheem Majeed.
And as you can imagine, there were battles with the Chicago Public Schools bureaucracy who didnāt take kindly to having teachers inspiring young black impressionable minds in a positive way.
But it had to be done to encourage students to interact with, and respect beautiful works of African-American art, but also to āremind students and visitors that the African-American experience is a complex one and helps students connect with their history, their community and each otherā.
Filmmaker, journalist and playwright Pamela Sherrod Anderson spent over two years making her documentary feature film, “The Curators of Dixson School,” about the school and its mission. In the past three years the film has traveled around the country on the film festival circuit.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dixon Elementary as well as the artist you mentioned. It is a amazing place. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Ms Anderson. Wonderful woman. It always made me feel so proud to see what was going on at that school and then it would make me so mad that this part of Chicago never gets covered by the news.
Wow! I missed this story from Kenya!
Not sure what The Gambia and Liberia 1943 short visit is about. I was born in ’46 and that would be before I was born. I am fifteen years older than PBO. The chart infers it is Obama’s trips to Africa unless they mean all past Presidents which is not clearly labeled.
… and this š
I am always marveled at the ability of folks who can draw, paint and sculpture artistically.
Wow. What a gift some have.
The family portrait is lovely.
Btw, Kenyan President on his way to Ethiopia
Good morning TOD folks! Listened to the presser. You go Mr. President. Tell it like it is.
I just love the Carpet…….just beautiful.
Good morning TOD š
Good Morning, Everyone š
The Laziness, Lameness and the Heavily Slanted NY/DC News Media……a GOPer Politico and now on the NYT Payroll……Jonathan Martin……
Well that tweet of stupid from Martin got ZERO positive replies. Twitter called him out for being a GOP shill
And my point is yet again seen to be true – The US media is more of a problem than the GOP when it comes to attacking the administration of PBO.
Chat away
