The Obama Diary 
What!
Congrats Don! You’re # 1 😀
Good evening/afternoon/morning TODers.
Nerdy, the photos & videos are fantastic. I don’t anywhere else we can go to get the coverage of President Obama’s trip other THE OBAMA DIARY! Thank you Ms. Chips!
🙂
Duty badass! 😆
Thank you so so so so so so so so so so much, Nerdy!!!!
Anytime, Chiparoo. 🙂
It is time for the Saudis and every other country in the Middle East who claim to be against ISIS to step up to the plate, enough talking.
I so agree, Bella. The Saudi leaders keep promising much, but delivering little.
I don’t trust the Saudis. My gut tells me they’re crooked.
I’M AFRAID I’D HAVE TO PULL OUT THE EXTREME SOAP AFTER VLAD…MAYBE SOME LYSOL ON MY SUIT CUFFS!
I love my President! Thanks again Nerdy for this wonderful post 🙂
🙂
PROGRESS despite colossal obstruction:
BREAKING United Arab Emirates takes in 5 Yemenis from Guantánamo; Detainee census now 107.
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/guantanamo/article45017340.html
Total number of Guantanamo detainees = 107
Number of detainees now cleared for release = 48
Number of detainees Law of War detainees or “forever prisoners” = 27
Number of detainees never charged awaiting parole board = 22 (including 10 at war court)
Number of detainees at war court = 10
INDEED meta! Our President will not be intimidated by GOP/MSM propaganda.
may be I am too optimistic. but by the breakdown of these numbers, PBO will be able to close GITMO before he leaves office – despite the obstruction of the imbecile scumbags who are doing all they can to prevent the inevitable;
I think that PBO has gamed it out whereby he and his team will go around the MANY laws and hurdles the shameful legislature has put in his way
Nice to see our PM smiling at PBO – rather than looking like the fool that was his predecessor
And I should have said – thank you for the pictures NW – a delight to see
Fantastic toon, AMK. Best image of Trump yet with that truly hideous mouth.
And a squarely accurate depiction of his base. They can squeal and deny all they want – this ‘toon nailed it.
IF YOU CREATIVELY THINK ABOUT IT…ROADKILL HAS THE SAME PROFILE ON 5TH AND MAIN….IT’S NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE…THE POSSUMTROT!
GE TODville.
Stellar roundup of G20, NerdyW!
Despite the recent tragic, horrific events in France and Lebanon, world leaders can’t maintain composure around our President.
Wish we could force-feed Nerdy’s tweets to the America public, instead of the war-mongering speculation and doubt the MSM delivers.
These may have been posted earlier today (behind as usual):
#Campaign2016
Behind a paywall, but tweet is interesting…
It’s possible they’re just waiting for the primaries to be over. Makes no sense wasting money on a candidate who may not be the one fighting the GOP in the end.
Tha was my instant reaction, hf.
I’m sure that’s the case, Hf. President Obama will play a very big role in ensuring that the Dem nominee has all the money she/he needs. He’s a prodigious fundraiser and he has a personal stake in ensuring that his successor is a Dem.
True. I gave to the Draft Biden campaign, but since he decided not to run, I’ll wait until January or February before I start donating to another campaign.
My plan, too.
And I know quite a few of us ain’t gonna. Also. Too.
Well, I will say that an envelope arrived from one of their campaigns a couple weeks ago, and I have yet to open it. Also. Too.
I AM NOT AT ALL THERE YET…………….THEY BROKE THE MOLD ON PBO SO I DON’T WANT TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE…AND THAT’S MY FINAL ANSWER!
I am so far from being a big donor, but I feel the same way. The only money I have donated so far has been to OFA while I sit on the sidelines.
How beautiful. Thank you.
The world knows and respects the fact that President Obama is a master at governing and politics.
Yes, exactly meta.
Nerdy, these photos, tweets and clips are so magnificent, they’ve literally made my day. Thank you!!!!
🙂
Outstanding roundup of our most outstanding President’s Day, NW – As Always!!! TY!!!!
Good night TOD …
#Hope4ALL
You’re welcome, Bob.
Thanks Nerdy for all the great photos and reports from Turkey.

Why are folks pretending that 2008 wasn’t a bloody fight btw Hillz & Obama and that a lot of us were not amused by Hillary’s campaign
Tell me about it.
And here at home…
Alphacat’s parody of PBO hitting back at Trump. This may have been posted already since it’s about a month old – but in case it hasn’t, thought I’d share. It’s hilarious and entertaining…a lil’ bit of fun in heavy times…
‘Night’ to you all – working tomorrow. 😦 Oops, I mean … 🙂
Our POTUS has so got it goin’ on. How proud are we to see him giving his heartfelt all to make this world a better place. God bless and keep him, and God please stay with him every minute of every day.
MANY CHRISTIANS STARTED COMMITTIING TERRORISM WHEN PBO FIRST ENTERED THE OVAL OFFICE…THE MOUTH IS A DEADLY WEAPON AND THEY HAVE USED IT OFTEN…THEY AS WELL AS THE MEDIA HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE RACISM AND FEAR IN THIS COUNTRY. THOSE ALLEGED CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE CROSSED THAT LINE HAVE WRITTEN THEIR OWN BIBLES AND KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST! THEY CAN CREDIT THEMSELVES WITH A GREAT SHARE OF TROUBLE IN THIS WORLD. TRUE CHRISTANS…THEY ARE NOT……………………….
One day we are going to wake up to the “breaking news” that PBO has emptied GITMO of all its prisoners;
May be I am have too much “hopey and change”, but I believe that PBO and his team will find a way – probably in the weeks between the election and the next inauguration;
there has to be some obscure law on the books that constitutional scholar PBO can use to get around the congress
