President Obama (@POTUS) August 11, 2016****
The fact that President Obama listens to Lil Chano From 79th, says a lot. The fact he chose ‘Acid Rain’ says a lot. If you haven’t listened to Chance The Rapper, correct that error. His lyrics are haunting yet joyful; his words, beats, and arrangements pack so much power and meaning. The way he mixes gospel with rap is mind blowing. A good primer on Chance can be read here

I'm honored that our President would include in his summer playlist BUT THE FACT THAT HE PICKED ACID RAIN 😳😳😭😭💯💯⛽️🅰🆖 twitter.com/potus/status/7…

The Obama Diary 
Coolest President Evah!
Congrats on your cool first, J4O!
imo ‘Acid Rain’ brilliantly devastating. OMG.
I know Clinton has accepted all 3 presidential debate invites…what is the word on these debates from the Trump campaign? Has he accepted them too?
Anything he says will be a lie. So far he’s said he will go if the moderators are “fair”. Well, so he wants to exercise a veto over the moderators. My guess he will opt out and he’s just preparing an excuse. He does’t want the prime time humiliation.
Donna Dem, you are DonnaDear, DonnaDreamy, DonnaDoItNow, DonnaDedicated, Donna Dazzling, and DonnaDivine. What a blessing you are in the world. What a mainstay superhero steadfast warrior you in the world, on time and on point for justice and goodness. Look up at the sky tonight and check out the Perseid Meteor Shower. You will see shooting stars lighting up the sky. Imagine that each and every one is a postcard of love from the TOD family circle. (Brought this over from previous thread — while I was typing, the magnificently musical and motivating NerdyWonka was cranking up the victrola for us to have a Birthday Dance Party for Donna Dem, with DJ POTUS in the house.)
Love that image of the Perseids being postcards of love. Enjoy tonight, TOD – especially Donna our Birthday Girl.
Co-sign! 👏🏾
Brilliant message to our Donna D!! TYVM, Nancie.
You are wonderful. This is beautiful. Thank you Nancie
{{{Nancie}}} I love your writings
LIVE NOW: Hillary Clinton lays out plan to add millions of jobs to nation – http://www.msnbc.com/live-online/watch/live-clinton-on-economic-revitalization-plan-742404675629
Those state legislators should be going to jail!
The only thing I am hoping is that by their constantly trying to make all these changes, that more and more voters realize Repubs are trying to restrict the vote and turn against Repubs when election day comes along.
Just 7?
Well there’s more but he has to be sensitive to some folks who are overwhelmed by simply thinking about doing something constructive
Trump’s latest desperate bid for media attention.
My post got lost. It was to Donna wishing her a wonderful day.
Thank you sooo much!!!!
At Hillary’s economic speech today, she said she is against TPP. Once she’s elected, I hope she changes her mind.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/12/us/politics/hillary-clinton-economy-speech-donald-trump.html?_r=0
It’s a pity that she was for it, now she is agsinst.
I think she has to straddle the fence for the extremely anti-TPP Bernie crowd. Hopefully there is a plan to talk some sense about it once she’s elected.
HRC said it didn’t meet her jobs test. I think it will go forward once she’s President. I agree let the BernieBots have something to hang their anger and bitterness on besides Hillary Clinton. We need to get her elected.
I think she’ll come around. For all we know, she might have adopted the PBO strategy of “evolving” on an issue…being for something but at the same time being aware that many are against it because of demagoguery that is not easily overcome in 2-3 months. Then once elected, using the visibility of the office and the “bully pulpit” to gradually persuade the masses. I believe that’s how PBO approached the issue of DADT repeal.
Guys….Guys….GUYS.

My Summer Playlist…hmmm…
When i think of summer i go back to the days when i was bit younger….smilin…
and what was on my playlist was Motown…The Temptations…Smokey Robinson….Martha and the Vandellas…the Marvelettes…The Four Tops…The Supremes…Stevie Wonder….
there was even a lil Doo Wop going on…Street Corner Harmonies…
hanging in the park…Fairmount Park….with friends….listening to the sounds of the summer….smilin
this was a favorite sung by the harmonizing guys in my neighborhoods….
While at work my list is the Temptations and the Chicago Mass Choir. The both play pivotal roes, depending on the time of day and who’s messing with me 🙂 Sometimes I have to let Jesus take the wheel 🙂
But after you posted this, I played POTUS’ list and just chilled 😀
Thanks NW!
NW, I am one of those people who listens via types of songs not who sings them. I will say I love Adelle. I have all her songs. I love jazz, blues, I don’t know half the songs on the President’s songs list. Although when I hear the song it oh yes I like it.
Also we want you to know how much we love you. We appreciate all you are doing for us and Chips.
My summer playlist: Beyoncé’s Lemonade, Hamilton, Adele 25, “This is for my Girls”anthem, and songs from cast recordings from Empire’s second season. Will be checking out some of the artists from PBO’s playlist and more Kendrick Lamar.
Congrats, J4O on your Gold ⭐
Congrats to Simone and Aly! USA women rock!
Simone is AWESOME!
4′ 8″ powerhouse! Awesome things come in small packages.
Wow that’s a purrrtty cake.
Thank NCLB!!!
Happy Birthday Donna.
Happy Birthday Donna!
And Aly crushed the floor
Way to go Team USA! All round gold and silver! Simone and Ali! Simply the best!
Wooooot! USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸
PBO having to cleanup behind the willfully incompetent, obstructionists yet again.
And the loser gov. from my state, the Golem-like Rick Scott, who cut 40% of the mosquito fighting budget, has been talking shit about what the feds should do. He should have called up his tea party buddies in the GOP. As usual, PBO does not want anyone to suffer, so he has to come up with creative ways to protect people from themselves. Our Dear PBO has more than held to the promise he made on election night, 2008: “For those of you who did not vote for me, I will be your president too.” I live in Florida where I have lived through the awful Jeb! years and now the even more awful Scott years. We really need relief from the GOP assholes.
Tell Gollum how you feel!
GE, TOD! Nerdy, as always, thanks for keeping the lights on in our safe haven. {{{Chips}}} hugs and prayers for you. Seems I’ve missed so much lately…
“The Motion Picture Association of America is proud to host the fourth annual Films at the Stone series alongside The Memorial Foundation Inc., screened at the MLK Memorial on the National Mall.

Really great thread on phone banking. I
That experience was shared by JoJothecat & I on Sunday. Very receptive people we spoke with and it is indeed encouraging and uplifting!
This is how you create a record shattering landslide on 8 Nov 2016 ….
#FORWARD Together
Booyah! 🙌🏾
I’m just wondering, Has ANYONE here heard the anti-TPP folks spell out which provisions they object to and why? Not just the “it hurts working families” – which part does that and how?. Or the “it destroys jobs” – which part does that and how?
I’ve basically gotten this the last couple times I’ve asked on Twitter.
Only things I’ve heard against it, Dudette, is what Robert Reich spoke about on this, and a few other, youtube videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O_Sbbeqfdw
Also what Jim Hightower wrote about in his newsletter here
https://www.hightowerlowdown.org/node/3402
I belong to a group of women and these two items were brought to our attention by members announcing how destructive TPP is, based solely on these items. Neither person, nor any member, myself included, has bothered to read the entire document to see if these 2 men are correct or not. Hopefully this helps you.
Why I love liberals. When they go low, we go high.
Brilliant!!! Thanks for the laugh.
Probably my favorite tweet of the day! Two can play at this game!
In celebration of Queen Viola!
