…and because you are praying and *working*, you will ACHIEVE.
Happy New Year, prettyfoot58!!!
smilin…
Wow – and it’s still not fixed
That’s a very big deal–hope they find out the source of the attack. Chips, I have such bittersweet feelings about this year. We’ve all been together for a long time now and the love we have for President Obama is so strong, it actually hurts to think there will be a time when we won’t all have this love in common. On the other hand, I have to remember that every day is a gift to cherish.
Feeling the same Jackie….but we will go out in an organizing bang
“it actually hurts to think there will be a time when we won’t all have this love in common.” You mean, like NEVER??!! We will always have this man and his family deep held in our hearts, so no worries!!
thank you…thank you for saying this… 🙂
This is our president’s true legacy: a country full of people united by his message, his example, his image.
Happy New Year to dear Ms Chips, and to all of the wonderful people here!
Happy neeeeeeeeeeeeew year andogriff!!!
Great! Thank goodness we have a President who takes gun violence seriously.
Happy New Year to all the TOD family.
falling into sleep. step by step.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, I want to hug him!!!!!!!!!
you can have him…. all of him… fer free.
adorable…
Do you think LL had a good night? 😆
HA! Wonder how that “tri tip” fared? 🙂
Inorite? It was only 9:30pm i wonder if he made it to midnight 🙂 🙂 🙂
Doesn’t look good, jojo:) I know I didn’t!
I fell asleep around 11pm. It was quiet here, no guns or fireworks. All the revelers were on Colorado Blvd.
/smh
LOLz. I think it may be a while before we know!
This is priceless. PCitis must stand beside Affluenza as a new affliction in the US. Such poor, pitiful sufferers!
gorgeous, lots o’ beautiful happiness. thanks amk.
Good thing I didn’t have anything in my mouth! Reuters said that Obama’s biggest challenge in 2016 will be relevance! HAHAHAHA! They are such comedians….must not have been paying any attention to his “lame duckedness”…..Idiots.
this is the projected lies of the press…it is directed towards folks who have not been paying attention…it is a meme that they always tried to create…which is that the President has no relevance and he is not in touch with ordinary folks
I saw that statement as nothing more than sheer projection on their part. Honestly, they aren’t even trying to hide their stupid.
Hard for the MSM to swallow, I know, but President Obama will be relevant FOREVERMORE.
FOREVERMORE!!!!!
Exactly. Right now even in his last year in office, he’s more relevant than the entire bunch of GOP and Dem presidential candidates combined.
WORD!!
Df, to paraphrase Al Jolson..”they ain’t seen nothing yet.” Our president is going to leave nothing on the table this year and he will campaign for the Dem president and candidates as if he himself were running again. Funny how many times people have to get beat over the head before they realize that they underestimate PBO at their peril.
G’morning Chips, TOD, lurkers, everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Congrats RanMan on #1! 🙂
HNY hf….
did you notice that Don is watching the Twilight Zone marathon as well 🙂
Yup, I sure did 🙂
Oh my gosh, what a stunningly beautiful video, Chips. Takes my breath away. THANK YOU, dear one.
Agreed, meta! Brought me to tears last night…
me too, this morning, df. Just beautiful and tender and compassionate, Chips ~ thank you for sharing it with us.
Chips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just catching up now and this video is everything. Thank you for putting it together for us. (This video is more than PBO at the SC Eulogy—keep watching, if you haven’t done so.)
Happy New Year to all of TOD. 2016 is going to be a spectacular gallop to the finish line.
Buckle up.
{{{{{{{Meta}}}}} Happy new year to you, Ms Majestic – love ya!
Chips, I tear up just THINKING about this video. You really nailed it. XOXO
IT IS WONDERFUL….i cannot watch it without tears….tears of great reverence for the man who is our President..as you said meta…Forevermore!!
YES! We have to keep in mind he and FLOTUS are going to go on doing really great things as long as they live. That’s just who they are. And we’ll all be there by their side to do our part. FOREVERMORE!!
My TOD family….xoxoxox
Smile and dance! 2016 is going to be FABULOUS!!
LOL …:) 🙂

Wish You All A Very Happy And A Very Healthy New Year.
Why are Don, DF, Jackie, Lynn and Otter44 HUUUUUUUUGE, and I’m teeny? 👿

That’s Chelsea blue. Fix it. Now.
crankee, crankee, crankee now.
Fixed 😎
THAT is definitely funny! 🙂
smh, smh
Chips, size doesn’t matter.
😆 Yes it flippin’ does!!!!
Chips, you did notice that AMK didn’t even include himself. I like the big red ‘Chips’, but now I can’t see anyone under it.
😆 Well, it’s a red letter day, Jackie!
You blocked GGail 🙂 🙂 You’re in trouble now!
It’s completely the Indian person’s fault JoJo, he provoked me – but apologies to GGail 😆
Chips, I can barely find you…..Are you even included? OH, yeah, I see you’re next to me and slightly larger. Hmmmm.
I’m TINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😤
Glad to be a tiny part of your universe! Happy and healthy new year to you, amk.
danke. wish you and yours the same…. wait, didn’t I already say that collectively above?
OOOooooooo, your memory may be fading…….fast…….
thanks…
HNY
{{amk}} Thank you for the nice TOD family card….the only excuse I have: Olympic pool(not)
Beautiful and thanks….
As someone who rarely comments, I was pleased to see my name.
AMK, what a great gift to give us all on this New Year’s Day. But without YOUR name on this word cloud, it isn’t TOD. You should have put AMK right in the center of it all in big type.
Thank you for including me, and wishing you a Happy New Year…full of good health and prosperity.
Me but you’re forgiven.
Jackie, it’s better to be forgotten than to be THAT tiny 🙄
I should have thought this through, shouldn’t I? Happy New Year J4O.
Wow, amk, what a great New Years Day gift. 2016 is going to be a record breaking year for all of us.
Happy year to you, too amk!
I left you out, didn’t I? Happy new year to you, the person from “exotic vacation place”.
Good news for wildlife:
But it still wasn’t enough…and still after all the amendments and laws…it still isn’t enough…what more must happen…for the sons and daughters of slaves to gain their full measure…
MUST READ. Pass it along. In light of the fact that we have a President willing to do what he can to protect Americans from, what I call “dickless wonders”…this should be required reading for the rest of the cowards in congress that don’t have one iota of his courage.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to Chips and all TODers especially Nerdy. I lurk here everyday and read every word of every comment. I wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous 2016. I am looking forward to all your exciting and informative posts this year.
I am hoping that I can find some 2008 and 2012 campaign speeches and play one or two each day to just hold on to this wonderful 8 year adventure with you. As I return to lurking, I wave to all of you from sunny Trinidad & Tobago
Happy New Year, Socasweet!
Happy New Year BFF and TOD.
