The Obama Diary 
yes, welcome home!
Congrats on First, dee! š
Let’s hope it helps more Dems than just Hillary!
Dems that don’t listen to Bernie overwhelmingly think we’re in a good place, and getting better.
I was thinking in terms of down-ballot elections.
If we had party leadership that demanded that down ticket candidates tout this great record. We simply cannot make the same mistake again. Faced with the rabid ravings of GOP, we should roar right back about the greatest economy we’ve seen since – wait for it – the Clinton economy of the 90’s.
Why is this so hard, Dudette? We have an opposition party that stokes their minions to follow lies and destruction and we can’t get our side to roar right back with what we’ve accomplished?
By the way, it was White House Beer! š
So cool!
I’ll have a Honey Porter, please.
I’d like to try all of them. š
I must share: My physical therapist has three children under 10. They are a documentary-watching, library-going, museum-going family. She said her two older kids have posters and charts, etc. all over their rooms about Kelly’s mission and other space missions, when other kids have music or sports posters. They were obsessed with every step of this mission coming home. How cool is that?
Awesome sowing of seeds, 57af! I hope this inspires them to do great things!
That is wonderful….future scientist, we need them.
Great parenting!!
She is absolutely great. I love all the help she’s giving me, and I love talking to her. It’s great to see someone raise children this way.
Furst
This is downright terrifying:

Of course I will miss both. Will have to catch video replays later. See ya!
LMAO!
Trump is a ugly man inside and out.
Love all these tweets about Scott Kelly. His entire trip has been all over the news here in Knoxville. He is a UT grad so “we” are claiming him, for sure. š
I claim him, cuz he’s American! š
… and yes, (sadly, there are soldiers out there who will have no qualms whatsoever about following orders that essentially mean committing war crimes
LOL! I missed this last night! š
Beauty break:
Ohhh! Thank you! š
Beautiful! Thank you, Beautiful!
The indigenous already “inhabited” the land. Poetry not accepted. But I understand your meaning.
Bravo Scott Kelly:) Amazing journey. Now, can someone grab the graphic at DU. Holy crap they are all crawling on their Lilly white bellies… Disgusting!
Thanks, JER. Hot mess
LIVE NOW: President Obama – http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
Yes, especially since the media won’t tell the truth or allow the truth to be told about the good that Obama administration is doing for the economy.
Exactly, as Eric Boehlert twitted some time ago: For POTUS, GOOD NEWS IS NO NEWS.
Hi Everyone
So cool about the jobs report.
I will be asking for your help in the weeks to come to make sure the SCOTUS issue stays on the radar. It was so inspiring to hear Stephanie Pelosi speak to us in SF yesterday. There are several groups working together. – OFA, MoveOn, Get $$ out of Politics. Women’s Rights Groups, Voting Rights. If you are not sure where you can help, post a note here and we can all help you find something.
For Today my ask is small – please retweet these 2 tweets. Having the retweet # hit double digits is a big thrill for us :-> This blog has the power to make a real difference.
And this one
Done! Thanks WIW! š
This has just made my day. I know many of you are SUPER TWEETERS – but for me having 17 and 10 Retweets is a miracle. I will be happy all day now . Virtual Hugs to you all. You folks are the BEST.
This is the very least we can do WIW – I hope you’ll have many, many more RT’s by the day’s end!! š
TGIF. Excellent Post.
Wow! Excellent Job Growth Numbers.
Congrats to Dee on your Au ā
Congrats to all the Gold ā winners since last Evening.

WH Presser with Josh “The Voice” Earnest
CNN reporter: Why is President Obama talking so much about the economy?
Average viewer: Why are these WHPC reporters so idiotic?
Welcome home, Space Men!
It is still thrilling to salute an amazing astronaut decades after the first space flight.
Gosh I missed POTUS speaking.
In the “Ain’t That the Truth” category:
OMG on that “big hands” part. Love all the Team Obama people!
Oh I love this. š Plouffe has a sense of humor. So now, I guess everyone will be looking at the size of male hands.
Ha. All members of the President’s team seem to have the same sense of humor he does – probably kept them all going, many a day and night!
LAWD!! That is amazing.
It is, for sure.
hahahahahahahahaahahahaha that big hands comment hahahahahahahahahaha
So this is exactly why HRC will NOT be distancing herself from PBO as the media is hoping for…
Was about to post this. š Thank Goodness, I refreshed. Great Post, HF. We must add another 10%+ points for Gallup & many Pollsers skew PBO’s number, esp., Favorable numbers.
I figure about the time people have to vote they will decide maybe PBO was not so bad considering who the next choices are. Too little, too late! Aren’t you glad you were on the correct side of history? I was about to say the right side, but caught myself in time. LOL
Hey, sweet Dudette. I am a tab confused. Please help me out, will you? Thanks in advance.
@StationCDRKelly said on NASA TV that he left Earth for Space at 50, turned 51 in Space and returned back to Earth at 52. I know I remembered that he just celebrated his 52nd Birthday some weeks ago. I get that. What puzzles me is this; the 340 days in Space…..I know that a year takes 365/366 days. So please help me. Educate me, please.
Does this Fool understand that Trump has SecServ Detail Coverage?
Like his own name?
Kids are smart.

A waste of time Dr. Carson. A waste of time. I could have told you that those racists bigots would not elect you for anything. No matter how much you ignore you’re one of us.
LOVE THESE TWO BROTHERS!!!!!..WE HAVE BEEN SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLESSED!
I love them. They are the BEST EVAH!!!!!

Didn’t care about Jim Webb’s vote, don’t really care about Christine Whitman’s vote either
I’ve read that this is not uncommon – the party out of power in the WH roars with turnout during the primaries. I am hoping, of course, that this is not an indicator for the GE. But of course, you are correct: we still need to vote.
Especially in the states with voter restrictions – now would be the time to find out if your registration is up to date. A good reason to vote in the primary.
