i never retweet right wingers – but today I will make an exception for this tweet because it is good that she acknowledges the hard work of diplomacy on behalf of all of us
The Republicans have gotten so ugly negative nasty these days that they just can’t say Thank you SOS Kerry and President Obama for getting these Americans released. I heard what Rubio said, what Cruz said, no appreciating POTUS or Kerry. Let’s see what the others have to say.
When you don’t understand the concept of diplomacy, you think all interactions are supposed to be one-sided. You don’t realize that sometimes you have to make concessions as well.
I’ve had my TV on MSNBC all day. Since this news broke, there’s been many R’s on. Not a single one of them can say even one tiny positive thing about PO, SoS Kerry or anyone in this administration. They all admit/agree that this is wonderful that the people are coming home, but it is ALWAYS followed by negative and/or critical comments. It’s not that I am surprised by this. It just reminds us of the immense hatred toward this administration. So, so sad.
Well, I choose to focus on the tremendous good will towards this administration as well as the IMMENSE LOVE AND RESPECT for this administration – by regular Democrats and the international community – which far exceeds the insular, bought-and-paid for hate rhetoric pushed by the Republicans and encouraged by the Republican-owned US media.
I don’t think so. I looked all through their TL, and checked out the 28 people they’re following (Ann Coulter and Donald Trump are on that list). This account is by a Trump Supporter.
If Obama did it, it must have been the wrong thing to do. When it turns out to have been the right thing to do, then Obama never did it. And if he did do it, he did it the wrong way. It was too little, too late – or it was too much, too soon. It went too far – while, at the same time, it didn’t go far enough. And even if it turns out to have been right, it’s still wrong.
If Obama proposed it, it can’t possibly work. When it does work, it was somebody else’s idea all along, an idea he blatantly stole just to make himself look good. That’s because he knew it would work all along – even though it can’t possibly work.
If Obama stands firm, he is being stubborn. If he seeks compromise, he is caving. Obama should lead while following. He should be more hands-on while staying out of it completely. Why can’t he take the reins and do what must be done? Why can’t he mind his own goddamned business?
I saw that show, and it was the first time – when I heard Anthony speak of it – that I knew he’d been taken prisoner. So glad his wife left with him. And that all 5 are safe.
When Bush was in office and if I had a loved one held captive and Bush held get him released, I would have had no problem thanking Bush. It just kills these right wing haters of Obama to say something nice to him. What ashame.
REPUGNANT COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL NEWS…SHOWS THE IMMATURITY AND LACK OF CHARACTER THESE CANDIDATES HAVE. THEY ARE SHALLOW AND FRANKLY EXTREMELY SELFISH…THINKING OF THEIR OWN POLITICAL GOALS AND NOT THE JOY FOR THESE FAMILIES! IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THE FAILURE OF THIS EXTREMELY GODLESS SOCIETY. MARK MY WORDS…IT WILL BOOMERANG! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!
Listening to Mrs. Abedeni saying her son asked President Obama to bring his dad home for his birthday but it didn’t happened last month but this will be her son’s birthday and Christmas present. So sweet
Also, when the Palestinians finally released Gilad Shalit to Israel, 1027 Palestinians were the number traded for him.
Yes, you read that right. 1 Israeli for 1027 Palestinians.
The first point is that it is not a bean counter issue, as the childish Trump is saying. 5 Americans for 7 Iranians.
Diplomacy is for educated mature individuals, not small minded business accountant tit for tat types.
ALL Credit goes to PBO VPB and SOS Kerry and their staffs.
Now we’ll have to hear from anyone who has said the words “Iran” or “prisoner release” in the past decade.
Give me a break.
ALL CREDIT to PBO, VPB, and SOS Kerry and Their Current staffs.
PBO and SOS Kerry met with Iran “without pre-conditions” and look what happened next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best President with Best Team Ever.
Just can’t understand how these families are not shouting from the rooftops giving thanks to the foresight of the President and Kerry for the release of these five detained. the hatred for this President by MSM and religious groups is pathetic
PBO simply notified congress of his EO to lift the sanctions which were in effect. He doesn’t need congress to lift sanctions which were put in place by EO’s in the first place.
as we celebrate the achievements of PBO and SoS Kerry in Iran, I can’t help but ponder how the State of Israel has messed up these years by refusing to use PBO’s wisdom and patience to try and make progress on their conflict with the Palestinians;
Israel’s voters had a chance to reject bibi’s politics of fear and they choose to remain in the status quo that is clearly untenable in the long-term;
I could be wrong but I think that a time will come when many who vehemently opposed to the efforts PBO was make on the Israel-Palestine question will deeply regret it …. how can a majority of people be so short-sighted on an issue that threatens their very existence and moral compass
RWNJ are falling all over themselves to say something negative about the Obama administration. A simple thank you President Obama & Secretary Kerry would be a fate worse than death to them. Donald Chump said it took too long to release the prisoners. Ted (not an American Citizen) thanked God for their release. Later talked about how bad the nuclear deal was and that the Obama administration traded 7 terrorist for our 5 people. SMDH
I just applauded Sec. Kerry’s speech. I look forward to doing the same when PBO speaks “later” as Sec. Kerry said a couple times. (PBO will speak to the American citizen’s released today)
The Obama Diary 
Good Afternoon, Nerdy…Thanks!!!
Congrats on first, sw! Great day for it! 🙂
🙂
Congrats swbluega 🙂
Yes, NW, very good news indeed and very much thanks to President Obama and all the Americans who elected him twice.
bbl …………..
Exceptional tweetage, Dr. Bob! Well done! 🙂
Thanks, Bobfr. 🙂 I hope you are enjoying your day.
And thanks for your informative tweets.
🙂
Yet another day to remember! Way to go, President Obama and Secretary Kerry!
Sticking with the theme of Good News (I think some other TODers follow Gabe on Twitter)
Is that VPJoe in the background? If you look real hard, he’s there, I swear! 🙂
That bright glow is from VP Joe’s smile. You can’t miss it! 😀
What a great day. Our President does not disappoint. Wooot!!! POTUS, VP-Biden, & SOS Kerry.
Say wwwhhhhhaaaattttt!?!?!?!
I sure did a double-take!
i never retweet right wingers – but today I will make an exception for this tweet because it is good that she acknowledges the hard work of diplomacy on behalf of all of us
My thoughts exactly.
The Republicans have gotten so ugly negative nasty these days that they just can’t say Thank you SOS Kerry and President Obama for getting these Americans released. I heard what Rubio said, what Cruz said, no appreciating POTUS or Kerry. Let’s see what the others have to say.
When you don’t understand the concept of diplomacy, you think all interactions are supposed to be one-sided. You don’t realize that sometimes you have to make concessions as well.
I am dead? I think I am in a different world
wait whaaaatttt!!!!!
Congratulations, swbluega! It’s a sunny day to celebrate diplomacy!
Thanks, Judith. 🙂 Any day is a great day to celebrate diplomacy!

Dream response:
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…I LOVE THIS!…WOW!..I FEEL BETTER ALREADY!
LOL ! If only……
Will never get tired of watching this!!!
Fuckin’ fabulous! Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^5 gurl ^5
WOW…this person was probably among those who thought that Sarah Palin was the miracle winning candidate for the GOP….
I think this is an account that makes fun of rightwingers
I don’t think so. I looked all through their TL, and checked out the 28 people they’re following (Ann Coulter and Donald Trump are on that list). This account is by a Trump Supporter.
this was clearly snark. My 2 cents.
Which is why I had to take a closer look at the TL, and their followeees… neither of which point to snark.
Gabe was responding to this putrid sack of rat bile.
Sick thought.
Maybe he is just trying to project onto others what *he* would have done.
If PBO was in it for himself, we would be tired of the all the bragging he would have/could have been doing over the past 7 years.
ODS – OBAMA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME – BY NANCEGREGGS, ON AUGUST 11TH, 2013

That just about sums it up.

Thanks JER!
Uh Huh
Before he was taken prisoner…
I saw that show, and it was the first time – when I heard Anthony speak of it – that I knew he’d been taken prisoner. So glad his wife left with him. And that all 5 are safe.
Bwahahaha!
Marco’s boots and water bottles!
Jeb looking like Harry Potter hit him with the “Stupefy” spell!
LOL! 😀 😀 😀
When Bush was in office and if I had a loved one held captive and Bush held get him released, I would have had no problem thanking Bush. It just kills these right wing haters of Obama to say something nice to him. What ashame.

We know who should be the next person on Mt. Rushmore
Listening to Mrs. Abedeni saying her son asked President Obama to bring his dad home for his birthday but it didn’t happened last month but this will be her son’s birthday and Christmas present. So sweet
Yes, swblue
This is an important point.
Also, when the Palestinians finally released Gilad Shalit to Israel, 1027 Palestinians were the number traded for him.

One of the symptoms of ODS seems to be convenient memory.
“Diplomacy is for educated mature individuals, not small minded business accountant tit for tat types.”
So true, Vicki with emphasis on MATURE.
swbluega, these right wing tea party racists Republicans are pitiful bastards.
great minds, etc.
Now we’ll have to hear from anyone who has said the words “Iran” or “prisoner release” in the past decade.
Give me a break.
ALL CREDIT to PBO, VPB, and SOS Kerry and Their Current staffs.
THAT’S EARTHLY CREDIT VICKI….MAJOR CREDIT GOES TO GOD WHO MAKES ALL THINGS POSSIBLE………………
PBO and his administration accept emergency declaration for Flint MI …. people will receive federal help
at least people in Flint can now know that there is an adult overseeing the actions of their gop leaders
I guess Michigan governor finally asked Obama for help in flint .
Obanas just issues federal state of emergency for flint bc of contaminated water.
BOOM!!!
Thanks Nerdy for the excellent tweet thread. I guess our President might be making a statement soon. 🙂
🙂
PBO and SOS Kerry met with Iran “without pre-conditions” and look what happened next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best President with Best Team Ever.
“naive?”
i don’t think so.
hahaha,,,Is there a Presidential race taking place…smilin
Just can’t understand how these families are not shouting from the rooftops giving thanks to the foresight of the President and Kerry for the release of these five detained. the hatred for this President by MSM and religious groups is pathetic
MSNBC just said that PBO has sent an executive order to Congress requesting they lift the sanctions that they put on Iran.
Watch for mischief…..
He can only lift those that the executive branch put in place.
An executive order to congress?!?!?!? Executive order implies that congress is not involved….the sanctions are lifted by the President.
PBO simply notified congress of his EO to lift the sanctions which were in effect. He doesn’t need congress to lift sanctions which were put in place by EO’s in the first place.
So as usual, the media is clueless. !
I need to refresh more often. Duplicated your post downstream.

no war with Iran => Thanks, PBO
Cart every single solitary person that knew this…straight to jail. End of story.
Can the citizens of Flint file a class action suit against the Gov
I believe they have already. I hope they all get sent away to rot. There are not enough adjectives for them….

I’m thinking there should be pitchforks and torches going on…
Great news!!! Wow. Just getting online today.
PBO is the business!!
I *think* some of you will get a laugh from this, especially if you watch to the end.
😀 😀 😀
Bless Misty’s heart!
