The Obama Diary 
Keep going to spam….hope this works. Thanks for everything you do, NW!
Apparently, there is a trigger word causing the quotes from the article to be eaten by the TOD wormhole….just click the link above for all the pics/articles/videos and interview:
Cool, lp. Thanks for sharing
Hi, Lovely Plains, it’s good to “see” you. Thanks, for continuing to bring interesting stuff here. i hope you are doing well.
Thanks NW.
❤️ Except that it would take all day, my Obamacare story is one for the ages! I’d tell it, but you wouldn’t have time to read it! I walk today (kinda sorta) because President Obama made the medical care I needed available. So much better than Medicare for me. God Bless our PBO! 🙏🏻❤️🗝
Hope you do share it sometime, Pamela. We need all the ACA stories to pass on. So thankful it was there for you.
“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives-Jackie Robinson”
Thank you LP for this beautiful posting today.
Add my thanks as well– so lovely to see these photos and stories. And also to see the Obama Diary linked by the NAACP. This site has been a shelter for many of us, and also a place to bloom and grow.
Oh, LP, thanks so much for sharing the post from 2013 here – so many memories and what a beautiful presentation from you! It was also so enjoyable to see many of the “old gang” of ours posting that day – most of whom are still here (hello, also, to the lurkers!). So grateful for all of it.
I agree JB it was great reading all those post. Oh for those days.
We have those days in our hearts!
Yes we do that’s why it hurts so much to see what is happening and all the people that will be hurt.
A history lesson for the ages…thank you, LP:)
An excellent article reminding us of the accomplishments of President Obama!

Because this is how he will destroy all the govt. …same as he’s been doing since he got there. Appoint people to head the agency that hate it, disagree with it, want to destroy it. I would like to take yet another moment of my valuable time to say again, FU Sanders and Stein voters. Primaries are one thing, the general is another. I blame you.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-to-nominate-export-import-bank-opponent-to-head-export-import-bank
Yep, and Sanders and Stein will be right there during the midterms talking that same fake revolution bullshit.
I can’t even. Fake revolution can bite me. I agree with you. They make my blood boil.
Tax Day protesters in NY. I think Terri is there. They’re chanting, “Hey you fascist, show us your taxes!”
The Secret Service has already sent over $35 grand on golf cart rentals for this fucking know-nothing moron.
And HIS tax money doesn’t go to pay for it, since I doubt he pays any.
I was there. I wasn’t too far from the stage. It was great. We had some great speakers, and a group called Gays For Guns did some songs and an act on stage. They were pretty cool. Gave out the song lyrics they wrote to different songs. We marched from Bryant Park at 42nd and 6th and went up to 5th Avenue, just before Trump Tower, than we turned down 55th Street. I left shortly after that, because they were going to end the march to Central Park. There was some really great signs and very creative people in costumes.
At Central Park, not to Central Park.
That’s great, Terri, thank you for going!
Your welcome. I’m really glad I went.
I am reading Bryan Stevenson’s book Just Mercy, and I would recommend it to everyone.
Excellent book. Beside my bed as we speak.
I’m not a religious guy at all, but every year I love watching “The Ten Commandments” on Easter. Every year my father would watch in on tv and my brothers and I would come in the living room to watch it with him. Even to this day I watch it, maybe its out of habit or maybe I love the story.
i watch it too. Love it.
Sounds as though you’re continuing a precious family memory. Love it.
That’s me to a “t”. I watch it every year because my family used to hunker down and watch it every Easter and it’s a family tradition that I cherish as a 48 year old woman. Love the story and actors and always feel inspired after watching TTC.
So Now N. Korea’s Lead has test fired a Missile? Hmm?
This guy had better careful or he’s going to get “Silkwood,” as in Karen Silkwood.
These fucking guys don’t even want to go through the hassle of wearing ski masks as they go about robbing this country.
Love it because Trump deserves to be mocked all the dang time
I love that shirt. Love it
OMG. Can’t take much more of Trump.
That is really hard to read. This is how the good will suffer with the bad (those who actually elected that Idiot-in-Chief). This is why we must #Resist.
Someone needs to send this along to the FBI…
Racists disgusting bigots.
And the police stood back and let them take over. I hope California does something about this White Supremacist garbage parading in its streets and physically assaulting people.
Guys don’t have that problem because we like movies that we like and we’re not really interested or care if anyone doesn’t like movies that we like. Furthermore, in the history of men and women watching movies together, the next time a woman picks out a good movie that a guy is interested in watching with her will be the first time a woman picked out a good movie that a guy will be interested in watching with her. And in closing, the only time a man will truly watch a movie picked out by a woman is if the movie has a triple x in the title. Thank you
* I’ll be here all weekend for relationship advice.
🙂 My husband STILL brings up “Yentl” all these many years later:) LOL
True Story,
My wife and I met on a blind date at a metro rail station in downtown Miami. She told me what she would be wearing, I was sitting at a table at the bottom of an escalator when I saw her, she was a vision, I had butterflies in my stomach. For the next two weeks we talked on the phone constantly about movies. One day she told me that she sent me something special in the mail. When I got the package in the mail I opened it and it was a DVD of “Sleepless in Seattle,” I’ve been in love ever since, that was twenty-four years ago and we still talk about movies to this day.
AWWWW:) Very sweet.
ohh that is so lovely Don, what a nice story, best wishes to you & your wife.
Wonderful story, Don! My wife and I met on a five hour Greyhound bus ride in Sept. 1969 when we were college students. Had lots of conversation time to get acquainted. We still love to talk with each other.
I think our POTUS 44 and FLOTUS44 left the French Polynesia yesterday, they should be home by now.
They need to keep vacationing and enjoying themselves. They are getting a much deserved rest after 8 hardworking years. They’re not like our current White House Occupant who plays golf in Florida every dang weekend at taxpayers’ expenses
There’s that! Evening, amk:)
Rick Steves (travel guide and tour operator) responded to the greed and selfishness of Trump and his cronies to donate a $4 mil dollar apt. complex to the YWCA to provide housing for homeless women and their families.
Wow. That is so cool!! I’ve never watched his program but it’s a must-see now.
Good morning TOD and Happy Easter to everyone.
Morning everyone.
We should start calling him President Golf.
8 years? I don’t think so. I’m hoping he doesn’t get past 1.
But it doesn’t matter because Trump is the right color and party.
This actually went through my mind…
To add to LP’s posts about Jackie Robinson….
If we all have a grit our teeth and endure this painful charade a little longer…..to get ALL the cretins, I’m ok with that.
Masseuse, this fucking guy is like Fredo Corleone in “Godfather II” in Cuba going to the Superman show.
What you said at the top of this tweet, df—-I said the same thing to a friend yesterday. Yes, the waiting is difficult and yes, there’s more damage being done every day. But, if the waiting brings more of them down; if it completely destroys the GOP, then that will be an everlasting reward for our country.
That’s how I feel. The net needs to be wide and deep..there are many of them
Lets just hope its wide enough and deep enough.
Yes. We can’t afford to go through this again. EVER
My concern is we could wait forever with the GOP in control blocking and undermining everything. It is all about turning the Senate and House especially since the Supreme Court just switched. My fear is the days of compromise, working for the betterment of our Country for the citizens and being known for being charitable to the world are over. Once greed, corruption and ruthlessness with no consequences to those inflicting it is the norm it is near impossible to change. I am a helpless optimist though and hope the showing of people will affect the members of Congress to do the right thing or for the people to vote them out.
I hope Kim Weaver kicks his ass

Sweet:)
Good morning TOD, and Happy Easter to all of those who celebrate it!
During the Obama administration, everybody/bunny took their job seriously!
FYI. Beware the manipulation

How Russia exploits American racism and xenophobia for its own gain.
Morning MUST READ and SHARE
Happy Easter to all.
Good West Coast morning NW & TOD family.
Hope everyone is enjoying the Passover and Easter holiday.
Happy Easter GGail!!!
Beautiful day today…off to vac my not Olympic pool and enjoy the day…bbl
Love how you have to “defend” your pool every time, just in case you-know-who’s around! Enjoy your day!
it’s all amk’s fault.
So who’s going to call ahead and let your country estate staff know that you won’t be coming out to visit the stables this weekend?
not even hardly. Teachers don’t make $, you know that. No…they are a dime a dozen here. We live in the desert. Actually, if I could afford to move back to the coast, I would gladly make that trade:)
Actually I love that region ever since I feel in love with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
You should move to California 😀
Thank you. Howl-worthy indeed. btw Bannon was in the war room photo even after being expelled from the inner sanctum of the NSC. And he is still welcome to the larger general group meetings. IMO he was behind the MOAB bombing and maybe the Syrian bombing. Consistent with his goals of burning down the USA.
TOD…I wish everyone a warm and blessed Easter. Enjoy family and friends.
pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease…
But are Comey’s indictments strictly having to do with collusion with Russia concerning the election? Because that’s what I’m more concerned about. Arresting some mobsters is a good thing, but I want the whale.
I hear you. I think there are probably many people, in many parts of the govt…all working on different angles to meet at a point. I want the whale, too. And the octopus that had all the tentacles that reached everywhere.
Watching!
THIS!!! IS!!!! TRUTH!!!
I just hope Bernie didn’t get caught on a Russian pee video.
The Bernie thing felt so contrived that I didn’t buy into it. Certainly NOW it’s time to let it go and prevent further manipulation by Russia and GOP-related. We’re in a world of hurt thanks to the Trumputin games spun out by our Media. Bernie can be an asset in the reset for Dems if we don’t buy into the same old faux blame game all over again.
Hello TOD.
Happy Easter for those who Celebrate & for those who don’t, I wish you all a pleasant Sunday Afternoon from MN.
Thank you, TOD, You wonderful Gorgeous, YOU 😉 !
FACT: We spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined.
Trumputin’s hatred for everything not-Trump is killing us.
Instead of repairing their Nations from within & perhaps helping Nations like Libya, Syria, etc back on their feet…….Wars, Wars….Wars?
This is the alt right creep that incited the Berkeley violence. FBI/local police should know ahead of time that it look like he has plans for other peaceful protests…
Hillary gave her email list to the DNC to prepare for 2018.
To all who celebrate the resurrection of Christ, happy Easter to you.🌻
You too.
Happy Easter TODers! Serena Pasqua a tutti!
