President Obama (@POTUS) October 23, 2016
Me?
Yep, fresh out, out of stock, discontinued, no longer available.
Tried for 7 years and 10 months to make peace with these people – and in the end they pretend they were his friend. We shall hear much in these two weeks.
I’m waiting for the Senate to approve the appointment of Judge Merrick Garland before Christmas – proving for all time what aholes they are.
Fully expect that!
They will be that craven Judith – but I will be pleased when PBO’s choice is appointed.
I believe it’s called ‘taking no prisoners’- and PBO is undoubtedly THE most righteous man on the earth today.
Wow! That is the most direct and confrontational public statement I have ever heard PBO make against a specific US politician. I hope he has many more in his arsenal and uses them all in merciless payback. People like Issa thought they had all the cards and would be rewarded for their insults and obstruction. Karma, in the form of President Obama, is proving them wrong.
I am glad to see that he is calling this out in no uncertain terms. Issa is despicable certainly; now he’s hypocritical in his despicableness. I’m really sure that that is not a words, but there are no words for this man. If I am this angry, I can only imagine how President Obama is that this toad would now seek to win votes by using the president’s image. What a sick joke. Go ahead, Mr. President; lay ’em all low!
🙂 you tell ’em mary!
Feeling a little ‘het up’ 😀 😀 😀
LOL!!!
I love that PBO is feeling free to tell the Republicans — and probably a few Democrats — about themselves. Even while talking about how low they have gone, he is able to “stay high”. Stay classy, President Obama.
Question- what was the reference about Doug in Darrell Issa comment? At first I thought PBO just got his first name wrong as both started with a D, but further down he said ” Was this you Doug — that Darrell Issa was Trump etc” I looked up Issa on Wikipedia and his middle name is Edward so that has nothing to do with it. I am confused here.
Issa’s Dem opponent is Doug Applegate. I think punctuation is the problem here. I think President Obama was saying “As far as a can tell, Doug, Issa’s primary contribution…” and later “I think some called Darrel Issa, was that you, Doug?, Trump before there was Trump”. So he was addressing Doug Applegate. And since it was a fund-raiser, Applegate was probably there so that would make sense.
RIP, GoBrooklyn….A family member here for years. Condolences to your family.
oh no. I was wondering about her because I hadn’t seen anything in the twitterverse for awhile from her and I hadn’t seen her here. When did you find out DF?

POU announced that GoBrookyn has passed. Sad to share this.
aww geeze. so sorry. I’ll go look and send off condolences. 😦
❤️🌹🙏🏻 She has been on our minds and in our hearts all along 🙏🏻🌹❤️ Walk with Angels, GoB, rest now.
So sorry to hear about GoBrookyn.
Very sad. A loyal TODer these many years.
So sorry to hear about GoBrooklyn. Condolescences to her family.
Condolences to one of our very own TOD family member. She was with us from the beginning of TOD and almost to the end. May her lovely soul rest in peace. She gave it a good fight but now she is with the angels. God Bless our GoB.
If we have no information about a request for donations for GoBrooklyn, maybe we could all make one more donation to the campaign in her memory.
Hi Mary. Go Brooklyn’s sister is posting a GoFundMe page to help with her funeral. I’m so sorry to hear the news. My heart is sad.
I just saw that; thanks, SG. I think I’ll make a campaign donation as well.
Thanks SG2 ❤
Thank you SG.
This is so very sad. RIP GoBrooklyn.
That is tragic and heartbreaking news, Df. GB fought so hard and long and endured so much in her struggle against cancer. Her family must be devastated. We will all miss her very much. I hope Joe Biden’s efforts will hasten the the day when cancer is finally conquered and this terrible and relentless scourge is lifted from us.
She really was such an amazing fighter and a truly wonderful person….I will miss her. She always had such a positive mental attitude while fighting this cancer….If it were possible for virtual kisses and hugs, she would be getting them now.
I’m just sad. Prayed for her on a regular.
Such sad news, I had lots of great TOD blog conversations with her. 😦 😦
I am so so so saddened at this news. GoBrooklyn was such a strong light here. She had a difficult journey and she was among the bravest.
I wish highest healing for her family. May she forever Rest in Peace.
Echoing what others have said. She had such insight. She had such courage. May she RIP and prayers for comfort for her family.
I replied on the last thread – such a fighter & wonderful member of TOD. May she forever have her peace.
I am so sorry to hear that GoBrooklyn has passed on. My condolence to her family. {{{{{GoBrooklyn}}}}}
Oh No!!! I am so sorry to read this. My thoughts are with her and her family. She was such a force in her battle and an inspiration to us all. May she rest in peace.
That breaks my heart! She battled cancer so long and hard. Really wanted her to be well enough to enjoy every last day of President Obama’s term. Sad for her family and us, her TOD family.
So very sorry to hear of GB’s passing. Thoughts and prayers with her family.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of GoBrooklyn. My condolences to her family.
So sorry she has left us. Very grateful we had this place so we could know and love her.
This is really tragic. RIP our virtual friend. We will miss your wise and informative comments. May your family find peace and healing.
Karma WILL find you, you SOB!

THIS, a million times, meta.
Such a great man and strong wonderful First Lady 💕
Good morning meta 😘 Is it raining in your area? ☔️️
No, not yet but I have high hopes! Just hope it lasts longer than 2 minutes…..
So far it’s been pretty consistent. Fingers crossed 😊
Soak it up! And let’s get all our fellow Californians to register to vote TODAY!
Yes!!!!
Meta, this picture is incredible! Did you create it?
No, not that creative! I know it was based off of a beautiful photograph of our POTUS engaged in pensive pose.
It takes my breath away!
I love the kind of pictures created out of words or photo montages. I got the out of many we are one poster from PBO’s audience photos taken during his first campaign.
Good West Coast morning TOD family and thanks so much NW 🌹
I have thunder and rain ☔️
Happy to know PBO will be in my neck of the world 💃🏾💃🏾🙋🏽♂️
Today is last day to register to vote for California!
Thunder AND rain!! Yahoo:) Morning, GGAIL! Hope it rains ALL DAY:)
Good morning DF, me too! 😘
Morning GGail, isn’t this wonderful glorious sweet smelling rain? Thank you for doing Gods work, making calls and GOTV. I will be joining you and Betsy this coming weekend.
Good morning jojo. By the time I walked out the door to come to work, the rain had stopped, but a fog enveloped the mountains near me, which really made it feel like Fall. I love it 🙂
I look forward to seeing you and Betsy and anyone else who wants to volunteer between now and November 8th.
I want to be able to say I left it ALL on the battlefield for PBO’s legacy. ❤
Pathetic.ALWAYS about him
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-are-we-glad-i-started
During a Sunday rally in Naples, Florida, Donald Trump appeared to seek assurance about his candidacy from the crowd.
“When I’m president, if companies want to fire their workers and leave — Are you okay? Listen. When I’m president, this is to me, like, this is why I started. Are we glad that I started? Are we happy?” he asked the audience, according to the Washington Post. “Well, I’ll let you know on the evening of Nov. 8 whether I’m glad.”
wtf does that word cloud even mean? A doddering senile racist. Typical of his base.
SP word salad. Doesn’t make sense at all…
He’s already said that if he loses it will have been a waste of his time and money. Can’t his supporters read between the lines… that he’s doing this for himself, not for them?
Good Morning Everybody. Rest in Peace GoBrooklyn.
I just read on the previous post that our brace GoBrooklyn has transitioned to peace and no more pain. Rest well little sister, you fought a good fight. My condolences to her family 💕

I’m always amazed that people like this that have amazing products choose to align themselves with people like Trump. Other than tax breaks what could possibly be the upside of a Trump presidency?
No don, he is donating to dems against donnie dick. #alliteration 😎
Well then save that post for some billionaire that decides to donate to Trump’s campaign.
There ain’t many of them Don – leaving in droves – some people say all the little folks are passing over their cash – but I’m more of the don’t believe a word they say person.
Your comment will not find a worthy sponsor this side of the election.
I didn’t see the word stop, and besides I’m one of the greatest posters here at TOD. Everybody likes what I post, and I mean everybody, many people say this.
And you never really said it but you are a yuge Yuge poster. Nobody is a yuger poster than you!
May you rest in peace, GoBrooklyn.
You were a fighter, a warrior, funny, unabashed in your love for the Obamas, and always so kind and truthful in all my interactions with you.
The heavens have no idea how truly blessed they are to have your light in their presence.
I wish your loved ones comfort and healing.
Beautifully expressed, NW. Thank you.
Yes, beautiful. Thank you, NW.
Yes, beautifully expressed, NW. Thank you.
She was very, very brave. A lesson for us all !
well said Nerdy. 😦 {{{{RIP GB}}}}
Beautifully said NW…..
Such a wonderful tribute NW. I also have been wondering and praying for her. She has been thru so much and was always to positive. I will light a candle for her today. May she rest in peace.
I join in the condolences to GB’s family. She truly exemplified spirit and hope. She has been missed, and will be missed.
Pig Slop strategy. Perfect
The media makes him out to be some “media showman” and how he uses the media to promote his brand. The only thing DT is good at is getting the “so-called” news media to follow him like the pied piper but no one else but his hateful male bigots are following him.
❤️🙏🏻 Brother back in hospital last night 🙏🏻❤️
Prayers up, Pamela.
All thoughts to you both Mighty Pamela
Prayers to you and your brother MP.
Very best of health care and strength to your brother, PM.
Uh oh – hope he will emerge in better shape soon! Hugs!
Prayers for your brother, Pamela.
Prayers for your brother, Pamela ❤
hope things work out Pamela sending healing thoughts.
Prayers for you and your brother, Pamela.

What’d Be Worse: A Trump Win, or a Foreign Invasion? Perhaps, if you think about it, there wouldn’t be much difference.
Condolences to the family of GoBrooklyn and also to her virtual family, may the fond memories be a source of comfort in this difficult time
Let’s do this, Democrats.
Thanks meta. Send it from the desert to the sea 🙂
❤️💕😍. Wonderful.
There’s going to many roads, highways, airports, government buildings, schools, etc., named after our greatest and coolest President of the 21st Century.
I am so sad to hear about GoBrooklyn. May her soul rest in peace.
Wanda N VA4Obama, If you see this, just tried sending you an email and it came back. Ugh! I checked and double-checked when I wrote it down. Can NW help connect us? I will keep posting this until I know Wanda has seen it so apologizes to others.
I can help when I get home from witch doctors…
RIP, GoBrooklyn; may” flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
These ads this election cycle have been phenomenal. She is blessed to have such an extraordinary team of surrogates out there supporting her bid for the Presidency. I can’t think of another candidate in the last 40 years that was fortunate enough to have a team like this to stump on their behalf.
I cannot wait to vote this Thursday.
Thoroughly agree, Donna. And to think this is what PBO set in motion over the long haul. Excellent record, excellent team. OUTSTANDING legacy.
So IBP daily tracking poll that republucan surrogates use on tv all the time… It’s run by breitbart…
Sure does help when your campaign manage runs the polls…
No wonder trump is doing better in that poll than others 👌🙃😩😉💪🏿👽😐😡
LOL!!!!! Self Delusion. These guys are going to be for a shock on election night, worse then Mittens in 2012.
Today is the first day of early voting in Fla. and I have already had to call the elections office about: No one I know had received the sample ballots; unsolicited calls, especially to people over 60, about voting by mail (this is the first time that this has occurred) and about the vote by text scam that targets mostly young people. There are so many tricks to steal and suppress the vote that any irregularity makes me wary. I was told by the clerk who took my call: sample ballots were mailed out Friday (the post has not been delivered to my area yet), and the vote by mail came from a second party Democratic group. They had received many calls about this, they are legit. and the votes are routed to the elections office, but this group did this without notifying the elections office etc. I am suspicious of anything that is unsolicited and my 86 year old mother (who has received two such calls) is very sharp as well and does not fall for scams and schemes, but not everyone is so. In an election, especially one like this, it is not a good idea to do something with your vote that you had not done before especially at someone else’s behest. She had not heard about the vote-by-text scheme, and I was all you need to let the FBI know.
She mentioned that all election information and sample ballots were on-line, I told her that I knew this because I had already accessed the information, but pointed out that there are many elderly people who do not have access to computers, the internet or the ability to maneuver them. Not everyone has children and grandchildren to keep Nana up on the latest in telecommunications. Not making things convenient for seniors is another way to suppress the vote. I hope that after this election is over, the reforms that we need will be a priority.
I’m very sad to hear of the passing of GoBrooklyn. She’s been in my thoughts as I haven’t seen her post here in so long. She was such a fighter, I can only believe that she knew it was time and gave herself up to the arms of the Lord. My deepest condolences to her family and friends and TOD companions. Our sadness here shows that there is little distinction between our IRL friends and online friends anymore. I lost two Facebook friends over the past year, and the losses couldn’t have hit harder if they were next-door neighbors.
Good morning TOD!

Hi TODers
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of GoBrooklyn. May her soul rest in perfect peace. May her family find peace and solace.
Thanks for all you do, Nerdy.
(((((((((((((((((Chips)))))))))))))). Peace.
LOL.
Over the weekend I heard some pundit say nonsense like their is NO enthusiasm for either candidate…….I wonder what 340 to 360 electoral votes translates to in their minds?
Such lies. They should have been here in my red district on Saturday. They wish there was no enthusiasm on our side.
I stay away from most punditry this election (Mr. 57 has to repeat it all to me, which is upsetting enough). I’ve been watching Joy Ann Reid on the weekends. I got caught watching the show that follows her – nothing but regurgitated stale talking points from 7, 6-figure “journalists” who have not paid an ounce of attention to how HRC looks, sounds and campaign in 2016. It’s maddening.
HRC trounced BS in the primaries, for which she gets virtually no credit. Makes me crazy.
You would think these pundits and candidates together would learn, but they seem incapable of any thought. The VAST majority of voters never attend a political rally or campaign event in their lives. The folks you see there usually fall into one of two categories: the very politically committed, or two, undecideds who somehow hope that seeing the candidates in person will lead them to a decision. Yet both pundits and candidates rely on this “rally enthusiasm” meme to determine enthusiasm/outcomes. Happened to Romney, happened in this election to Bernie. This, in part, is why Trump’s strategy of just doing rallies is such a failure. He bought into this as well. But the well run campaigns know it takes a ground game because you have the find all those other voters–who constitute the vast majority– who would never consider going to a rally. I have one sister who has never been to a campaign event in her life, and another who went to her first event with me to meet Michelle Obama, at the ripe age of 63.

I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of our dear GoBrooklyn. One of the joys of the internet is meeting people and cultivating what are deep friendships with people you would not otherwise meet. Such was the case with the brilliant and brave GoBrooklyn.
And that is how I feel about all of you. I want to take this moment to thank you all, and to celebrate what all of you have given me. In memory of dear GoBrooklyn.
So agree 57. We have become quite the community. You all have been such a wonderful addition to my life. As we celebrate the brave, beautiful spirit of GoBroklyn, I also celebrate this community.
Chips, we all miss you!!!!
Thank you for posting this beautiful thought, 57. I feel the same way. Treasure this community, always.
So true, 57, I am so thankful for the friends I’ve made here at TOD, close and far away. If you have not reached out to a fellow TOD’er in your area, please do so you won’t regret it. If you are going to be in their area please reach out to NW and exchange emails of those who are willing to get to know a fellow TOD’er. This is a special place where I have met folks that I will be in contact with the rest of my life.
❤
It occurred to me that if something happened to me, no one would know how to log on and tell TOD (Mr. 57 is pretty clueless on computers). I would like a designated “buddy” or two to share email address with.
I was also saddened to hear of GoBrooklyn’s passing. She was an integral part of our TOD community. May she reside in an everlasting place of hope and joy.
Beautifully stated 57 and I feel the same – thank you for being here as part of our TOD family {{{hugs}}} ❤
{{{GGail}}}} Back at ya!
what a beautiful observation 57! 🙂
Just seeing this very sad news about dear GoBrooklyn.
We have a lovely community thanks to Chips and NW and all of you and I share in my respect and admiration for each of you.
Thank you 57 for your heartfelt words.
#FORWARD Together
