Darn you snuk in before me. I had to log in. I just had my computer gone through and since then I lose my Login information and so have to do it all over again. I am not too sure where I go and uncheck that in Windows 10. Guess I will call Dell support again to correct it. 😦
Nerdy, THANK YOU so much for the posting on our Presidents trip. No were in the media are we getting the information you supply to us TOD’ers. You are one awesome lady. 🙂
Sending lots of Hugs to Chips, Danny and her family. Missing you a lot.
Roberta, it’s a tragedy that the US media puts up an information block on all that our President does and all that happens in the world. We get endless hours of nonsense from the loutish bigot who’s running for President, but not one word of real news. Americans have no idea how they are cynically manipulated by the media to keep them in ignorance. We are willfully betrayed by our supposed information sources.
I will NEVER understand why the national media thinks that was the way to go – that information block on our President. Even if we bring up all the -isms, there is not even a hint of a sane reason to do it. This is what is so damn frustrating about it.
It is almost like the lack of competent journalists and media outlets are cheating the citizens of knowing our present. Then someday when the present time becomes our history even though we lived through it we will not know it. The exception is those of us engaged beyond the news. Lucky we have this blog and WH.gov. Thank you Chips and those now running it as well as those who have participated in it. My fervent prayer is that Trump does not somehow win for all of our sakes as well as the world’s. I also want President Obama’s hard work and policy changes to not be reversed. I am thinking we ALL need to somehow leave evidence of the real experienced history of the time of Obama as I do not trust the historians to get it right.
You’ll be happy to hear there’s been a giant (non-lethal, I’m told) spider weaving a web off and on for two weeks between my house and garage. No one’s killed it yet, and today my teenage grandson took photos of it to show me (like I needed to see it). I’m not afraid of it, but it’s kind of taken over (changed our walking paths, for instance). Everybody around here is walking into webs – even the woman who filled in for our regular mail handler this week accidentally walked into one and did the “spider dance” and yell on the street the other day. I was on my front porch, on the very quiet street, and the only one outside to commiserate with her. Of course, I laughed at the little dance she did, once she turned around and couldn’t see me.
Happy Labor Day to Nerdy Wonka, who labors all day, every day to keep this place here for us to lurk, comment, find information, encouragement and solace.
And also look at gorgeous pics of our bad-ass leader President Obama.
Hello Meta, thanks a lot for that link to VP Joe’s walk through that Youngstown neighborhood.
I am glad I spent part of my time today watching it and seeing how people of different backgrounds were coming out to get a chance to interact with PBO’s friend and dear brother.
Americans chose well in 2008 and 2012. Praying that the streak continues this November, 2016
Wasn’t it fun? I’t was also such a wonderful glimpse of how VP Joe connects with people from all walks of life, how genuine he is. He is a wonderful man and a great VP.
In Ohio, we are used to candidates returning over and over to our state before any election.
It seems that true to previous elections, Dems are determined to carry Ohio this November.
I must say that this weekend alone, we can see the strategy of how Team Clinton/Kaine is going to block off all possible paths to a small chance of the homegrown demagogue winning.
Even before the best campaigner (PBO), the Closer (FLOTUS), and Dr. Jill Biden join the action, you could see that the local media markets in were dominated by Team Clinton/Kaine;
I am staying tuned to further developments on this front.
my hope is that when my number is called, there will not be the level of collective celebration as that is accompanying the departure of one phyllis schlafly
not to be petty but in presentation, she also seemed to want to emulate the aristocracy look (the multiple pearls, hairdo, numerous pins/insignia … and all)
I COULDN’T WAIT TO PUT THIS ON MY FB..THIS MADE ME CRY..I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE ENERGIZER’S GRACE..INTEGRITY AND FORTITUDE! WHAT HAD BEEN DONE TO THESE PEOPLE WAS SOOOOOO DAMNED WRONG AND IT TOOK OUR PRESIDENTIAL PRESIDENT TO STEP FORWARD!…GOD BLESS YOU PBO AND COMPANY..YOU ARE LOVED!
so, during the few hours I went to bed, the Philippines’ president Duterte says he “regrets” his comments “which were ‘misinterpreted’ as a personal insult on PBO”;
guess, the bombastic punk can’t even stay in his punk-lane for long.
this is the kind of leader extremism gives you when you fall for hatred and pompous speech
Good Morning folks. GM Nerdy. Will be gone most of the day, behave yourselves while I am gone Hahaha. Love my President, this trip Laos is so very important and he is doing the right thing for their nation and ours. So many heart broken people and pain during that time in our history. If you can go to Jim Wrights FB page and read a comment from a woman on Gun Sense. It will break your heart and giver a big round of applause.
Bye for now.
CNN has a new poll with Trump leading Hillary Clinton 45-43. Anyone believe that? I know people are talking about the FBI continuing to release info about the email investigation. When you decide not to bring charges why is the FBI keep releasing stuff. If the head of the FBI doing this to get back at Hillary.
For generations, the answer had been clear: A belief in individual liberty. Free markets. Strong national defense.
But what does it mean to be a Republican today? With Donald Trump as the party’s new standard-bearer, it’s impossible to say.
Even before Trump’s name reached the top of the GOP presidential ticket, the party was pulled in different directions. Many Republicans held fast to the good-governing principles of the past, while a growing wing of the party yanked hard from the right to force a conscripted definition of conservatism.
Inexplicably, the presidential candidate who emerged from that ideological tug of war was the one who thumbed his nose at conservative orthodoxy altogether. Trump is — or has been — at odds with nearly every GOP ideal this newspaper holds dear.
Donald Trump is no Republican and certainly no conservative.
The Obama Diary 
Ha, vc.
Darn you snuk in before me. I had to log in. I just had my computer gone through and since then I lose my Login information and so have to do it all over again. I am not too sure where I go and uncheck that in Windows 10. Guess I will call Dell support again to correct it. 😦
And a very good morning to you too, Roberta.
🙂 🙂 Good Morning to you and a good night for me. Have a good day amk.
friggin’ time zones.
which reminds me of bt.
R in MN, it wouldn’t surprise me if Amk stepped on your heel in order to get ahead. He did, didn’t he? smh
one min is eternity on innernetz.
Yes it is.
Sounds a bit similar to hell, from what I gather.
Whaaaat? Pretending you don’t know how hell feels?
Sorry, I couldn’t see your chosen ‘toon in the notification space. I thought you had a ‘no comment’ response. 😀
Na, he wouldn’t do that. It is my computer. I put the blame on this PC. 🙂
‘he wouldn’t do that’
Sigh! I see he has bamboozled, R in MN, you so I won’t say any more on the subject.
also. too. one can’t step one’s heel and still be the furst. try toe next time.
steps on the heel before one,
leader stumbles,
runner-up brushes past,
(*maybe* mutters a ‘sorry’)
while gloating internally
I am not THAT mean.
Yea. Sure.
.
.
You are THAT strategic though.
Just for THAT, I am going to put up a string of threads with me FURST.
string of threads. 😎
Like one of those necklaces with little trinkets (or whatever they’re called) attached? Do vary the *FURSTs* in an artistic manner, please.
you mean like this?
er… Nah. Those don’t day ‘FURST’.
da gold sez.
how about this?
No-n0-noh. I want to see the distinctive lettering (which means you’ll have to *work* for it).
So, that’s a no then?
#sighyoucantsatisfysomepeeps
And BTW, ‘#1 dad’ – from whom did you steal this one?
let’s just say I ‘earned’ it and leave it at that.
😯 You bought it!!!! tut-tut-tut
I iz going to bed. G’Night.
Like a “charm bracelet,” perhaps, or something like that?
That’s it, JO’B, but all the charms will say “FURST” wih AMK initials somewhere easily noticed. Good to see you!
Good to see you! I like your design plans (not sure AMK will, but, hey).
🙂
Did I just sneek in?
WOW, amazing amazing amazing round-up, NW. THANK YOU.
^1000 times agree meta.
Thanks, Meta.

I pity the people who never got to enjoy this time with PBO

This president is beyond wonderful ❤
I watched “Enter Barack Obama” on MSNBC tonight. Just a little recap of his journey in life.
Sob. ❤
It was nice…I saw some familiar sites too.
I’m sure you did! Lucky you. And I loved watching it again.

with that guilt trip, my job here is done.

Guilt trip? Uh, no.
wimminz are mean.
So not true. 🙂
Spiders are very effect at insect control too.
I think it’s working, because all we see is that gigantic ol’ spider! 🙂
Happy Labor Day to Nerdy Wonka, who labors all day, every day to keep this place here for us to lurk, comment, find information, encouragement and solace.
And also look at gorgeous pics of our bad-ass leader President Obama.
Thank you Nerdy!
you are making me hungry for a cupcake
Thank you, Nerdy (even though I don’t bake!).
😀
Awww…..this is wonderful.
Thanks, MadameSoph!
BLESS YOU NERDY!…<3

I really enjoyed it and watched it with a few tears.
also looking at the flow of the majority of comments accompanying the video was very gratifying

Thanks for reminding us that the ground game is so important!
Good news!
Nerdy, just wanted to add my thanks for all you do!
COSIGN x 100!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Good nite folks…
Good night/day, folks! Have a good back-to-work week!
G’Night, CC & DannyO. ❤ ❤ ❤
Thanks also, NW, for all you do, and for all the great tweets that I can retweet.
Thanks, Bill.
we all have to die someday;
my hope is that when my number is called, there will not be the level of collective celebration as that is accompanying the departure of one phyllis schlafly
I was having a similar thought, and I decided not to get in on it. Truthfully, I don’t think she’d care much, in any event!
amazing how she chose to go through life without any public compassion of others on issues that are so fundamental
Of course, she was only one of many – just one of the most determined and public voices, trying to be judge and jury over the rest of us.
not to be petty but in presentation, she also seemed to want to emulate the aristocracy look (the multiple pearls, hairdo, numerous pins/insignia … and all)
That’s how she saw herself, I’m guessing! Of course, in her “heydays,” lots of women looked like that.
I COULDN’T WAIT TO PUT THIS ON MY FB..THIS MADE ME CRY..I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE ENERGIZER’S GRACE..INTEGRITY AND FORTITUDE! WHAT HAD BEEN DONE TO THESE PEOPLE WAS SOOOOOO DAMNED WRONG AND IT TOOK OUR PRESIDENTIAL PRESIDENT TO STEP FORWARD!…GOD BLESS YOU PBO AND COMPANY..YOU ARE LOVED!
MAGNIFICO!
LOL.
good morning everyone!
have a fantastic day.

I AM GOING TO CRY ABOUT THIS THROUGHOUT THIS DAY…THIS FILLS MY HEART!
Good Morning folks. GM Nerdy. Will be gone most of the day, behave yourselves while I am gone Hahaha.

Yes he’s a republican… Horrible choice by this president.. Yuck! 👎👎👎😩😡
Consider the source. Same network that allowed/allows this normalization
http://www.alternet.org/soledad-obrien-eviscerates-cnn-you-have-normalized-white-supremacy-shoddy-trump-reporting
He claimed he wasn’t ” any longer ” under oath at the hearing.
I think he needs to prove he changed his registration…..
It’s same old ‘likely voter’ bs to create an artificial ‘race’.
Morning everyone…evil AND cruel. Bye!
