The Obama Diary 
Hey.
I was very disappointed that neither CNN or MSNBC carried PBO’s statement on Syria. At least they were not showing it when I checked each station.
congratulations on first COS
WTG, COS!
Congrats COS on First!
While PBO is busy TCB (taking care of business), Trump is fighting with his fellow GOP candidates, with former candidate, Mitt Romney and former Mexican President Vicente’ Fox. whoooowheeee!
And Bernie-boy walked into Flint and forgot about the water 😯
Thx nospin and Gail. I caught a small part of Sanders’ college tour town hall. It was the part where he told Chris that he would tell Mitch McConnell to “look out the window” at the massive crowd of young folks when he try to get bills passed
COS, I watch alittle bit of Bernie and Matthews and Bernie were talking alot of bull crap then.
I have to say Chris Matthews really asked for details on how he would get his proposals done.
But electing a dem Congress is never mentioned. BS wants angry hordes but not a progressive Congress. The mind boggles. In Chicago tonight BS whined that the kitchen sink had been thrown at him. Seriously, Bernie? GOP can’t wait to unload on you. And you certainly don’t give a damn about the tidal wave of outrageous lies thrown at PBO. What a jerk.
I love the smiles in picture #8.
Thanks NW for posting the President’s Day 🙂

AWEsome Round up…NW…

The “Squad”
That’s a cool GIF, I like it 🙂
me too….made me smile…
Thanks PF 🙂
Wonderful recap of the, NW! Congrats on first, COS 😎
I just got home for the day….what did I miss in the Barnum & Bailey debate 😕 I hope Trump doesn’t get to damaged tonight so we can beat him like a pinata in Nov, along with taking back the Senate and confirming a SCOTUS nom when the new Congress starts Jan 1 before PBO leaves office on the 20th 😀
😀 😀 that’s funny!
Fantastic pictures, Nerdy. The tweet above sums up the entire GOP Primary!
oh dear!
LP, would that be a first if we take back the Senate? Don’t the new Senators get sworn in about January 5th? Mitch McConnell, you nasty old bastard, I hope you rue the day you first started profoundly disrespecting President Obama!
I think technically there would be 17 days for a D Senate to do it after swearing in the newbies, Judith. Just saw a Marquette Univ. poll today that has Russ Feingold up ~14pts on Ron Johnson, need a minimum of 3 more (NH-Ayotte, Portman-OH, Kirk-IL, Toomey-PA, Open seat in IN, and Rubio’s open seat if he is still running) If there is a 50/50 tie let VP Biden and Schumer go Nuke option and break a filibuster….just my two cents 😕
I would love to see that if McTurtle drags it out that long!
If Hillary Clinton wins in Nov then McTurtle may cut a deal with President Obama to confirm a nominee before the Thanksgiving/Christmas break….just another scenario that cames to mind?
I feel like this is probably a more serious story than the clown car airing on CNN!
Hahahahah, LP, I heard this story this morning on the Steve Harvey Morning Radio Show 😀 😀
I constantly marvel at how PBO can go from meeting to meeting, topic to topic and still be on top of each one. Then I think of his assistant who keeps up with him, I can’t remember the guys name, but the one who tells PBO when his socks have fallen down 🙂
so with you on that. it’s one of those things i almost never hear talked about, certainly not in “the news,” and completely taken for granted. one of his most important talents in my opinion too.
Brian is his name, GGail. HZ
HZ!!!! Thanks sweetie 😘
It’s so lovely to see you. I pray you are well my love ❤️
Hello TODers!
Thanks everyone who kept me in your thoughts.
YIKES — These GOPers are loonbats.
Sheesh.
Kate, I’m glad you survived the tornado and storm. Is it just rain now?
Thank you. Cleared up the next day. All clear now.
Wonderful 🙂
Yay! Glad you’re back and doing okay. Saw some of the news reports showing the tornado damage in Pensacola. Just incredibly sad!
The President on the cover of Popular Science…i suspect this issue will set a record in sales…smilin
So great having a President who appreciates science!
They finally received the memo from msm to attack Trump and they started swinging and forgot all about Carson & Kasich 😀 😀

WTH….just catching up on everything today but I guarantee nobody has been asked about this or even as recently as Saturday in Kalamazoo…smh
LP, thanks for stepping in today as mini bt 🙂
I just threw a few links together, GGail. NW was kind enough to post one while I was in lab….but thanks for the kind words 🙂
Thanks, l.p., I enjoyed it.
SMH
Hillary over Sanders 52-27 in same FL poll.
If BS thinks Hillary has thrown the book at him, he is truly delusional. What a whiny wimp
She has the nom sewed up. Only problem is every state is proportional delegates so Bernie will lurk around until May b/c he has the cash to do so….he made her a better candidate but I want her to have time to compete/campaign in states like KY, AR, TN, GA, WV, NC, MO, IN where she could expand the electorate and help down ballot.
Say what you want but the crazy man can occasionally make me laugh
LP, you have me ROTFL with this video. What is his problem??? 🙂
I’m paying catch up to some late night funnies…
Trevor Noah
“Like a glitched character on a video game, Ben Carson is just off facing the wrong direction. Yeah, he is not attacking Trump or the other Republicans, but rather he’s chosen to attack President Obama. And it’s not for his policies and it’s not for his record. It’s for not being black enough. So Ben Carson is saying that because Obama didn’t grow up poor, he didn’t grow up black. That is such a bullshit argument. Being poor isn’t what makes you black. Because if it is, then there are a lot of people living in trailers in the middle of America who will be very upset to hear the news. ‘I’m what??’ But they’re not black. And we know this. Because if they were, their trailers would have nicer rims.”
Oh Trevor 😀
🙂
So I guess Bernie did an interview tonight…..pesky little facts:
Hi LP – Seems he can’t remember what he did then. Even with a dem majority PBO couldn’t do what millions asked him to do – and Bernie supported those who wouldn’t allow presidenting while black.
Lot of people have come down with nasty bug from a few years ago-Romnesia…..a lot of selective memory going on these days, 99t.
Yeah, and a lot of finger pointing as if the pointer was not guilty of the same.
So I went out for lunch (nice lunch) and came back to a usual day in America – mass shooting – unbelievable GOP “debate”. No idea if any sane questions were asked – must check if gun control was mentioned. From LGF I gather there are NO gun controls allowed in Kansas. Truly sad what the GOP have done – out of hate for their fellow man.
That the anagram has still got a job says so much about the republican party. No-one believes that the GOPers have had anything other than a circus event for every debate. NOTHING of merit gets discussed. Trump talks about $$$ and his standing in the polls & everyone votes for him. smh
So if Trump is totally ego, and cares little for anything else, could we say thanks to Obama. Perhaps Obama’s total take down of Trump at the correspondents dinner has so inflamed Trump that he has to, in his own dysfunctional way, pay the President back. By getting back, his main mode of operation, Trump may have singlehandedly paid the GOP back for its treatment of the President. On that note, by running Sanders as a candidate, the disappointeds have given their world view a chance to be aired, their racism and elitism out in the front for all to see. They turned out to be nasty people and have shown their true colors. Maybe another payback for their treatment of the President. Lastly, the Dixicrats that still reside in the Dem house. Maybe they will defect now and go with Trump and in their stead we will get the people of good will that have come to see the President and his approach and its merit and will exit the GOP or their independent status and join the Obama coaltion. The Democratic party has become stronger, more respect, empower, include oriented under Obama leadership and that’s the greatest untold story. Transformation is great when it goes in the right direction.
Catrst, this is beautifully stated and deserves a feature of its own. You last sentence is one that should inspire lots of discussion and analysis. Yes, the great untold story of the last few years is the transformation of the Democratic Party. Thank for stating it so well.
Reince, the spin doctor 😄😄😄😄😄
Raise your hand if you believe him
Not I! 🙂
Funny! “Diverse and well qualified” ha ha ha Spirited, maybe? Debate? How ’bout shouting match?
Shouting match – I’ll go with ya on that choice! Each one of them outs the other as biggest fool.
Circular firing squad
Lindsey Graham (sometimes) needs to take his comedy show on the road! He’s got some good, laughable one-liners, but not much else.
Does anyone else find it odd that – days after their son Jeb dropped out of the RWNJ race – former Pres. G.H.W. and Barbara Bush attended tonight’s debate? I know it’s Texas, but … who were they there supporting or not supporting? Yeah, I know, the GOP, but how must Jeb feel NOT being there while his parents watch THAT?
Don’t get me wrong – who cares how Jeb feels – but seems like a family without too much unity to me. They’re all off in their own worlds.
Probably good to attend and not feel embarrassed. Then again, they are of an age – which I am fast approaching – where you do what you like without caring what it looks like – or who says what. I do believe Barbara is still of the opinion “no more bushes”. Son GW didn’t have quite the impact she was hoping for.
They’re all nuts and should just go retire!
No argument about that one – I could also think of an alternative to retirement which would stop the country having to spend lots $$$ on them.
Ha. I try not to wish that on people, if I’m getting your drift. I just sit back and watch whatever happens.
Sooner or later comes to all of us JoB – sometimes sooner is better. I am watching but so concerned about our world with the GOP in its current form. GWB is looking like the smart one.
Seriously ….
good night TOD ……..
Good night Bob and thanks for your tweets
good morning
Good Morning, GCLinda!!!
