The Obama Diary 
Good Evening Nerdy…TOD Family!
Andrea Mitchell said on Hardball that she has the transcripts of HRC’s Wall Street speeches.
LOL!!!! Doc dump contains doctored and propaganda documents!!!! Who would have thought that? (Wkileaks!!!!)
I think she said they were only the notes. They are not the full transcripts. When I saw her on Matthews, I knew she was there for something messy. Can’t stand her.
She had a thick stack and said she hadn’t had a chance to go through them. It’s starting to sound like they were from a hacked e-mail account and may have been forged.
Russian hacked documents and released by wikileaks.
I really hope that this audio/video seals his & the GOP’s fate.
Ditto. Sadly, as someone said earlier, he will still get around 45% of the vote. That just makes me sick to type that. Guess it comes down to a lot of hate and fear and racism and the all important ‘R’ after the name.
Of course Mike Pence is not “doing this.” He spent 90 minutes deflecting and denying everything Trump ever said. Why should he start acting like a grownup now?
LOL!!!! What else is there to say. A famous person said ” If they show you who they, are believe them” or words to that effect.
Trump is utterly despicable! He is a total embarrassment to the United States.
Hay Senator Kelly Ayotte, What a role model Donald J. Trump is.
OK, so twice I’ve posted and the comment seems to be lost in space… Why doesn’t WP like me???
Billy Bush needs to be fired but he won’t be because he’s related to the Bushes and they don’t fire whites who are their favorites. They only fire the minorities and women. Now I know, when I do stupid stuff I’ll just say ” I was in my 40’s or 50’s younger than I am today and I just didn’t know any better”.
What evvah will CHRISTIAN, conservative, republican (IN THAT ORDER!) Mikey Pence do?? I’m not sure “He never said that” is gonna fly this time! ROTFLMAO!!!
The HYPOCRISY of the right wing “white evangelicals” stinks to the the high heavens.
Remember, how the Christian right paraded Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter on the stage at the RNC. If it had been PBO’s daughter, we would still hear about it. These folks are nothing but hypocrites.
“These folks are nothing but hypocrites.”
Yes they are, COS. I hope the. Majority of the people in the United States will never again pay attention to the “hypocrisy” of the so called “Values Voterrs,” who are overwhelmingly supporting the unethical–and a-moral,–Donald Trump for President.
Exactly. The usual weaselly words from the weasel.
Amennnnnn…VC,,,
Ryan, you idiot. Trump is 70 years old, and he’s not changing!!!! How about sacking the top of the ticket.
Broadcast it wide across Wisconsin – Ryan invited this repulsive person to an event. He still has not withdrawn his support for Trump
This is who they are!
tweet of the day.
jeb, the turd, dropped what over 200 million over his sad sack campaign?
Sunday’s debate suddenly turns into “Must See TV”….he can’t apologize. This is who he is and always will be. Every woman in America that can vote needs to vote and shut this shit down. It’s repulsive.
Df, Hillary is going to need nerves of steel on Sunday night. The creep will do everything he can to deflect his own ugly behavior onto Bill Clinton and Hillary herself. I don’t think we’ve ever before asked any presidential candidate to confront a psychopath in a debate on national tv. I’m going to be praying for her like crazy.
She’ll be alright. He has already sealed his fate with most of America. The fact that she’s a powerful, strong woman that he can’t manipulate and push himself on, will unhinge him even more….and if this is even possible, even more Americans will hate his guts. He’ll blow a gasket. She will be pointed, calm and surgically eviserating….
OMG! Seriously. I can’t……….no words. 😞😰😟😥😫
These people are soulless. How on earth could his family support him to be President of the United States knowing these things? The man is a vile, disgusting monster.
Drip. Drip. Drip…… a candidate for the highest office, AND one who is supported by his part I. am. speechless!
….supported by his party

JILL HARTH’S first concern with Donald Trump’s hands wasn’t that they were small. It’s that they were everywhere.
Harth and her longtime boyfriend were in meetings with Trump to forge a business partnership. “He was relentless,” Harth recalled in an interview, describing how on Dec. 12, 1992, he took the couple to dinner and a club — and then situated himself beside Harth and ran his hands up her skirt, to her crotch. “I didn’t know how to handle it. I would go away from him and say I have to go to the restroom. It was the escape route.”
…but pressing my knee up against this pretty lady, that’s just smart.
Also notice how much of the chair he takes up– she’s squeezed onto the edge with her arms and legs tightly together, leaning out, making herself as small as possible. This is Lyin’ being a friend to the ladies.
You heard it here first. I’m going to make a prediction. Donald Trump will withdraw from the remaining two debates, claiming the system is rigged against him and will attack the GOP establishment for betraying “his people.”
From your keyboard to God’s ears.
There is talk of him dropping out of the race but I don’t see his ego allowing that to happen. Your scenario seems more plausible to me.
The problem is that states have already printed their ballots and early voting is taking place. Not only will Trump not admit any inadequacy in himself, but his followers will go crazy if they they think he’s being betrayed by the GOP. The Republican Party “built this” and they’re going to have to live with it.
I agree Bill, I don’t think he will continue because he is going to lose and in continuing he is damaging his brand forever. Who the hell will want to do business with him if more about him comes out? Would anyone do business with him without getting payment upfront? FULL PAYMENT….then sue me if I don’t do the job since you are going to sue me anyway.
Bill R., I think you may be absolutely right. If Trump decides to withdraw from the remaining debates, by claiming that they are rigged, his loyal supporters will loudly cheer him on.
My congresscritters are gutless wonders…
I think Macy’s should stop doing business with him. I am going to write them that I will not shop at a store that carries his last name on it. That daughter of his props up her racist, sexiest, father and I don’t want to spend my money that promotes that last name.
I thought they dropped him some time ago. Do they still carry his stuff?
They did.
From July 2015… http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/01/politics/donald-trump-macys/
Macy’s is pulling Donald Trump brand merchandise from its stores after the Republican presidential candidate’s recent controversial remarks created a public uproar.
The department store has come under intense pressure to cut ties with the real estate magnate and businessman after he referred to immigrants from Mexico and other countries “killers and rapists.”
In a statement Wednesday morning, Macy’s said the company “stands for diversity” and that it had no tolerance for discrimination.
I’ll be calling Anne Kirkpatrick’s office tomorrow and sending her a donation. Shame on McCain. What if that was HIS daughter?….I think we should all donate to these cowards Dem opponents…
WE MUST TAKE THE SENATE!
Like I don’t have enough to do already, I’m now planning daily “Welcome” parties to take place in front of the trump campaign office opening in our downtown business district…
Why the heck are they coming to Morton? 1) PBO won our town >2-1; 2) The location they chose while spacious and highly visible lacks parking; 3) We don’t want them here, and there are surrounding communities that would just LOVE to host his office.
Meanwhile, soliciting suggestions for positive, classy, signs that rebuke their candidate…
Not this, I guess:)
hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks so constipated df – could be saying anything
Nah… LOL!
I like the slogan….Love Trumps Hate
Yes, I have that one. Right now, everything I’m thinking of is similar to the tone of their campaign; which is UNACCEPTABLE! Purpose of the daily welcome party is to 1) nicely let folks know that his ilk is NOT welcome; 2) get so positive quotes in the paper/on tv about why folks should be supporting the full Dem slate. This is actually more for the folks that will be passing through this his traffic area; and we plan to time the visibility during rush hour when multiple trains stop traffic for several minutes at a time. I also plan to take pictures of the folks entering the office; name them and shame them…
what about-Trump does not have the right Temperament to be President or We need a President who brings America Together. or We want a President who respects women…or Build Bridges NOT Walls!
THANK YOU!
Yes…ALL the people condemning the words and supporting the candidate need to answer this!
PBO: Folks, here, let me show how to stop this piece of garbage.
Voting is the best booing.
Gee, where’s Jodie Ernst when you need her?
I don’t think an apology will solve this issue. This is a pattern with Trump. How many more recordings will be released?
President Obama early votes in Chicago today. Pete Souza
too late, lil nate. trying to get in the bandwagon.
Easy for him to state the obvious
just when I think this election cycle could not get any crazier, it just does;
on top of all the advocacy, volunteering and organizing we are all doing to push for the Clinton/Kaine ticket, we should be very vocal on this:
– demanding where all the gop candidates up for election stand.
– label the gop as enablers, pure and simple and remind all voters to make sure that they, like DT, are not elected
No idea why this was the final straw – as if they didn’t know this before. Absolute wimps – party first.
Halperin still attacking Hillary & pretending Trump can recover. He is the worst – worse than all on Fox – pundit ever to be given a voice in the political media.
He’s like the kid who plays yes-man to the rich kid/bully; willing to get his hands dirty and does all the dirty work for the one he is trying to impress. Then walks around like he is a member of some “elitist” group because he thinks he has been accepted into that bubble.
I will never recover from the video of him on Trump’s plane asking him all the hard questions like “What’s it like being a big important businessman”
This.
I’m outraged that he (or anyone) is comparing Pres Obama to this excuse for a man! What does this tweet even mean?
Drawing a sharp contrast for the white ‘evangelicals’ and ‘value voters’?
In a sense, there is so little contrast (because the contrast is so vast) between the two that I’m insulted he’d mention them both in the same breath. He’s reaching really deep for his equivalency, IMO.
“What does this tweet even mean?”
Exactly, VC! The so called mainstream media (MSM) people are trying to cover their asses by hiding the role they played, both overtly and covertly, to undermine President Obama. Donald Trump is the “Frankstein Monster” created by both the Republican Party and the MSM. I am sorry, but I feel no sympathy for both the Republican Party and the MSM who are now being devoured by the Trump monster they created.
No sympathy at all for *them*, Nathk! However, I have *some* sympathy for those voters who are being deluded, because of their simplicity or ignorance, into thinking he cares anything for them.
I hope he meant to write ‘worth noting’– because it is exceedingly valuable to have a person of integrity in the White House.
good catch. I read it as worth noting, not as worth nothing. Just 140 letters, john, just 140 letters.
I believe that Republicans who are denouncing Trump publicly are gonna pull that lever for Trump in the private voting booth.
Probably wishful thinking, but I get the feeling there are quite a few Rethugs who talk the talk about how awful PBO is and what a liar HRC is, because they live and converse in a right wing bubble. But they see and they hear, and they have the good sense to quietly pull the lever for anyone but T-rump.
Sadly, COS, in this instance I’m inclined to agree with you. Republican senators & reps are so self-centred and clearly in politics for their own gain that I don’t doubt many of them would vote for a rabid animal if it had an ‘R’ after its name! I cannot name two Republican politicians who have shown any moral leadership, character, integrity, or any real interest in the good of their constituents or country since I’ve started paying some attention to US politics.
Remember when….
Night all. I need a brain break. Tomorrow is another day!
Same here, df. Goodnight all.
This tweet had a lot of truth to it, especially for young men.
DT’s crude statements are being brushed off as ‘locker room talk’, meaning this kind of evil is sanctioned when men are among themselves. I have sons and grandsons, and if their peers speak this way in the locker rooms, I certainly hope it will not be tolerated. Fact is, this locker-room culture begins when the boys are young and there are adults around. Coaches, teachers, assistants of all kinds must be alert to foul talk, and take action. Chuckling and passing it off as boys just being boys is not acceptable.
Take no. 666 – donnie, little less pinocchio, little more remorse. roll camera.
DISGUSTING
any one hear from bob fucking dole? the complete coward.
AMK, Sen.Bob Dole is 93 years old. I don’t expect to hear much from him at his age. But I totally disagree with you that he is “the complete coward.” I don’t agree with him on many issues, but Bob Dole is really a good man.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/07/20/bob-dole-says-trump-will-make-great-president/87340048/
He could be 100, but still is a coward. Cased closed.
I will ever be thankful for living in the age of Obama. PBO leaves much for any future President to live up to. I will not see such another in my lifetime.
What was unexpected – he has brought out the worst in many many republicans. No-one thought they would stoop so low as to nominate such a person as Trump for the most important position in the land of the free.
even people who are not political junkies now have something to say … 34 days is indeed a lifetime in politics
Trump’s apology video being played on MSNBC now. Yuck.
It was HORRIBLE.
I’m going to wash thought of that despicable, creepy Repub candidate out of my mind and go to bed.
Good night, TODobots!
Don’t forget deplorable and unmanly.
And goodnight to you, VC.
hahahahaha – a non apology from Trump
It was not me – but everything Hillary & Bill have done is them. Pffffffffft
yep
why only major company?
With *any* company, he wouldn’t have gotten this far in the interview process. This is what minorities have experienced throughout the years — the least qualified being given he benefit of the doubt and hired/promoted over those who are more qualified but are of the wrong demographic.
see the stuart tweet above.
Trump says he will be “a better man” – He is 70 years old – not much time left to be that “better man”
Common response of the abusive partner. I didn’t mean it – I won’t do it again – I really do love you. Usually lasts a day or two.
So we get to see who in the media and who in the GOP takes this as a reason to continue their support.
And I am so sick of Republicans accusing Hillary of so many things she DID NOT DO – while supporting a man with NO redeeming features whatsoever. And when it is a woman doing the accusing and the supporting – I cry for all women.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Trump is cold-calling undecided voters, and the first one he talks to is Madea.
“He did it too” or “He did it first” is not a defense for bad behavior.
I’m just absolutely amazed that a woman would offer this defense… She’s probably the type who would feel flatter if he stepped to her in such a manner…
Republicans are so so upset with this latest Trump scandal, where were the outrage when Trump ran around this country lying about this President not being born in this country. Why didn’t any of them stand up and tell Trump to cut it out, because Barack Obama was born in this country.
gm bella – have you been away – I was looking for your comments on the threads about the wonderful kitchen garden of FLOTUS – did I miss you there?
As for your question – it suited the GOP to support racist Trump, not so much the trump just revealed – their wives have probably told them Hillary has their (the wives) vote.
Good morning TOD!
I’m not posting anything but this for the next several hours ….
Hope it helps ….

Thanks, Bob. We need a cleansing of heart, mind and soul.
Blessed day to all! It’s our granddaughter’s 6th birthday. From 4lbs, 9ozs. and 19 inches long, she is a big girl…….looks 7 or even 8 and is way past her age in her thought process. It’s like she’s an “old soul.” Insight that is uncanny for her age. And, the truly amazing thing is that her personality is SO much like “Angel Walker’s”–like God sent her specifically to us. Not to replace him, but to know he remains with us every day.
Thanks, Bob. We need a cleansing of heart, mind and soul. Yes we do!
DT released a video same apology as b4 and saying he will go after Hillary and Bill in tomorrow’s debate.
He’s going to be very desperate tomorrow and the debate will turn into a vulgar reality show tomorrow night.
So…I ain’t watching… I’ll come here for updates… 😉🤔
Hillary will not be part of a vulgar reality show – Trump will try and fail.
Good morning all, good news one of the millenials in Florida is not only voting Hillary but is voting early nearly took my head off just to mention ‘that orange thing??!!!??
