The Obama Diary 
furst!
On a mom’s day? yes, dads are spoiler alerts.
On behalf of all dads, I apologize for this outrage.
AMK is just here early to bring us breakfast in bed, right?
Right!
Tea for me, please, Amk! 👏🏼⭐️
jeebus. see, what you started now?
And it was a most perfect cuppa: served in a delightful Royal Albert cup and saucer, mmmmm! 🖖🏼
but, that was coffee!!!
Oh
Too funny. I saw Leave a Comment, left a comment, posted it, and you cancelled it out, and it’s nowhere to be found.
And still I continue to love “the dads.”
Dads are here to take care of moms
what are ya accusing me of, Lady?
Nothing. Nothing at all. #runsforthehills
That’s right. PBO is my president! Thank you Nerdy!
Happy Mom’s Day TOD!
G’morning Nerdy & TOD! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms, aunts, grandmothers, and mother-figures here and elsewhere. 🙂
Also, thinking especially of Chips on this day, which must be difficult for her. Sending her peace, love and comfort in her mom’s memory.
And may I join you in sending our love to Chips!
🙏🏻🌹
Happy Mom’s Day to our dear Michelle Obama and to her Mom !!!!
Best wishes to all of the lovely Mothers who visit TOD !!
Hey, wait a minute, what about the not-so-lovely ones who visit?
.
.

/sorry … 😉 … – just in a troublesome mood/
Good morning TOD folks! A very happy Mother’s Day to all those who mother us in one way or another. You are blessed.
me: what didja get for your mom?
su: what did you get?
me: why should I? she is your mom.
su: well, you started it.
…
gonna bust his lip one day.
Asked my son if he made breakfast for his GF (who’s a mom, but not of his kids), and he said, “Why? She’s not my mom.” Of course, he jokes about that in front of her … and I’m guessing he made the breakfast already … but birds of a feather!
Of course he did. Like all men always do. How is he doing now?
Oh, thanks so much for asking – doing well! Has some weight gain follow-on issues, etc., but last six-month checkup = still cancerfreakinfree!!!!
Excellent. It’s a BFD. Sis unit has been c free for nearly five years now. Beating those odds is always fabulous.
So happy for your Sis, too! I’m with you on the beating the odds chant!
Wonderful news that your Sis has been cancer free for nearly five years.
I’m so happy to hear that your son is cancer free after his last six month checkup. What a great Mother’s Day gift.
Thanks so much – and I agree!
EVIL AZZ MUTHAPHUCKAS
AKA TRUMPISM – the catch-all phrase for all this continuing crap, which preceded him but which he’s poured gasoline on and struck a match to!
Hopefully this nonsense can be challenged and overturn by the courts. Republicans need to stop playing.
Happy Mother’s Day Michelle Obama.
Looks like Merkel is winning bigly today.
Fitting for the occasion, you might say?
I feel dumb, because I’d forgotten about that.
nice to see eeewwwropeans not aping murkkkans.
Many, many murkkkans are verrrry happy about it, too.
Don’t feel bad – JO’B! If the results were going the other way around – we would be hearing about it every day in the US news…how this signifies the Trump “populist” movement is taking over the globe…how Trump is popular, etc…
But the US media is burying this news…because it doesn’t support their desired narrative..also, it makes the US very, very bad…
Well, then, we need to keep up the heat. Again! I agree – it’s so frustrating.
Notice how the US media is silent about those European elections lately? Compared to the way they were all “BREXIT!!!!” last year…
not to worry. limeys will do the stupid redux soonish
Can’t come soon enough for me. Brexit sucks (pardon my language) as do the Tory twats. I hope our elections can deliver as big a surprise that yours did, only in our case, for the better. The tory’s are as bad as the republicans. All they care about are the rich, sod those who are disabled. My husband is about to lose his disability living allowance which is enabling us to live (just about). He would love to work but is medically unable to so the b******s are cutting back on his payments leaving us about $70 a week to live on (the three of us). We will survive but what about others in a worse situation than us. The right wing mofos care nothing for anyone but themselves and those like them. Sorry for the rant.
very sorry that you, your family and millions of others are at the receiving end of these inhuman policies that are aimed at those with minimum voice or living at the margins;
I don’t know how these rightwingers are able to have a good night’s rest after they have deliberately inflicted so much pain on the most vulnerable;
please know that you have our concern and hope for a better outcome … and very soon
Thank you so much for your comments, I can only hope that sense prevails and that we shall have a Liberal or even Labour government. As for those right wingers, I hope their sleep is tormented and that when karma turns on them, that she bites HARD!
I apologize for unloading my wrath here and I really appreciate your kindness.
Good West Coast morning NW and TOD family.
Happy Mother’s Day to all who nurture others.💐
Good WC Morning to U 2 and Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL my TOD family, lurkers, Chipsticks, Nerdy, Mom’s of Pets too!
Thanks sis ❤
Ha! I totally believe that’s what happened..or something like that anyway 🙂
the scum pos ain’t no effing potus in every possible sense.
A sealed Indictment?
https://mobile.twitter.com/TrueFactsStated/status/863720527986348032
Hope!😮
Stern magazine in Germany picked up the story today and published with citations to Claude Taylor and Louise Mensch.
Totally true. Has been for a long, long time!
Cuteness overload
Latest NBC/WSJ poll: Congress or an Independent Investigation?
“A growing 78 percent of Americans believe an independent commission or special prosecutor should handle the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election moving forward.” (Hill)
How long?
The Atlantic has an article out clarifying the difference between these, and why an independent commission is greatly preferable. I’m tryng to stay way from the mess of it all for this day, but I surely agree with Don (below)
One of these mornings real soon we’re all going to wake up and find out that Trump has been indicted overnight.
I have on my tshirt that says: ITMFA…Impeach the Mother F’er Already. I hope the entire corrupt crew go down in an inferno.
I want a tshirt that says that !
Google ITMFA shirts:)
Remember this? ALWAYS my President. Always.
GA DF, happy Mother’s Day to you.
Sorry, Louise Mensch’s thread goes over my head — this is part of the thread, and I don’t understand at all. 😦
Thank you, arapaho:) As for Louise’s thread…you got me there!
I think she is suggesting that Pres. Obama wisely (chess player) removed Dana Boente from AG succession because he knew 45 will fire Sally Yates and replace her with Dana Boente (if only simply because Barack Obama removed him) hence keeping safe someone else who is able to go after 45 should he go on a firing spree to cover up his crimes. At least I think that is what she is suggesting… lol, I may be wrong of course.
That’s the way I read it, too – but just a big old guess on my part! 🙂
How nice.
Thanks, GGail!
Marian Robinson is the unsung hero of the Obama White House years!
Love her to pieces, and hope we are blessed with getting to know her better in PBO’s and FLOTUS’ memoirs.
Happy Mother’s day to all the moms here on Mother’s Day! 🌺
Happy Mothers Day to all Mom’s here.
Happy Mother’s Day To all the TODbot Moms around the Globe.
Congrats, Amk on Ur FURST Au ⭐
It’s Hot, Hot, Hot in MN Today.
It’s also The 1st Fishing Opening Day. Lots of Minnesotans Go to the Opening Today, Hopefully, after having treated their Wives, Mothers, etc.
So it was Trump who was wiretapping people. What a lowlife creep he is.
Yes which may explain why the GOP House and Senate members are so afraid of him.
Happy Mother’s Day to all {{{{{{{{{{{{{TOD MOMS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Perhaps, Comcast wants to replace him with a Rightwinger since Trump isn’t a fan of Lawrence.
Who do they want to replace O’Donnell with Bill O’Reiilly.?
Who do we get in touch with to tell that we want O’Donnell to stay?
You can always tell when someone is on their way out the door by the way Maddow treats them.
Pearls before swine ….
Republicans don’t care about the average people, they only care about the rich.
This is a ready made ad
Congrats, Rafa!
I am sure that Better Pics of him would have been better!
Thanks Pete Souza. That’s my Forever First Lady.
I LOVE IT…PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN CRAWL AROUND UNDER MY HOUSE AND GET AWAY WITH IT!….AAAH THE BOOMERANG…
What karma will look like

Any questions?
I listen to this every year, and it moves me every year.
President Obama’s mother never got the chance to meet Malia and Sasha did she?.
Yes, that’s right. She died in 1995. Malia was born in 1998.
She would have been so proud of them.
It really is heart wrenching that she didn’t get to witness her beautiful grandchildren or her son’s historic presidency. I know PBO wanted that so much for her. You can hear it in his voice.
Lies aren’t going to help you now you tiny handed, POS!
Just LOOK at all those men making decisions like this!! WTF!
Never a sweeter president.
Share. This is why we fight.
I’ve been out of the loop for a couple of days, so sorry if this has been posted but it is crucial to our argument going forward WITHOUT Trump.
I wish this continued till the end. He’s spot on.
This 101yo WWII Vet just looks & acts like he’s in his late 70s.
To ALL mothers, I salute you…For all you do and have done!
❤️🖖🏼❤️
Thanks, Sailor, and good evening!
Holy moley – in NYC.
Goodnight TOD ….
Just seeing this – glorious – goodnight to you, Bob!
Goodnight, dear Jacqueline!!!
New post.
