The Obama Diary 
Hello everybody!
Hello MissPat!!! ⭐️👏🏼🙌🏼💫✨
89 degrees here in Albuquerque. ( I know, you were dying to know.)
8pm…101 in Phoenix:) Evening family
Topped out at 84F in Seattle, so wrong! If you knew us, you’d know we like things around 65F, and try not to complain when it gets blistering! Such a bunch of babies
Got up to 80 here today. Tomorrow it’s suppose to get to 90 tomorrow. It usually doesn’t get that hot this soon. But this weekend back it’s only to get to 55 and snow in mountains.
Thank you, Nerdy, for sharing this tweet – and that fine reminder of the leadership of our 44th!
Hi from Toronto close enough to Obama to tingle
❤
Meta, thanks a bunch!
SINGE
I love him:) He just has a gusto for life and he’s not afraid to be himself…
He is a skinny man, but boy can he eat. Ain’t nothing wrong with some good food.
My President.

Thread. That fucking little lying weasel didn’t fall far.
Seems logical if they knew how to turn it OFF, they surely knew it was there, what its function was; must wonder who directed them, or what motivated them to do something so stupid. Do we have enough prisons to house all these mofos?
Today in Montreal
Today was a good day. Got to see my Forever FLOTUS and My Forever POTUS both make PBO amazing speeches. Saw Jon Ossoff knock his debate performance outta the park.
It’s like this warm feeling has come over me. I dunno what to do. Maybe I need to wiggle! 💃🏾🎼🕺🏾🙃😜😄
Sending hugs Dudette – I like your optimism
Hugging you back ((( 99ts ))) ❤️
Optimism is good medicine.
He wasn’t the only one…Pruitt…Price…heck ALL OF THEM

Goodnight TOD ….
Good Wednesday TOD Family!!!
Beautiful!
Good morning, TODville!

Two of our favorite guys!!
They may be the two most popular men in the world at this time.
Well…THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Oh wait! There’s more! Read the thread…this law firm supposedly lobbies for the Saudis….just “all purpose” law firm, I guess. Helps out the Russians AND the Saudis!
Well, considering the connections that this man has, this law firm has, to the Russians…..it could just cause even MORE problems for the idiot Putin Puppet.
Anyone Trump touts as ‘impeccable’ has to be suspect.
There’s a pattern. Does he think Wray will be ‘loyal’ to him?
Gorgeous place:
Michelle talked about their stay at this place yesterday when she spoke at that Apple event.
What did she say?
Will questions from GOP members of the Senate Intelligence committee — i.e., Rubio, Cotton — be asked, not to determine Russia’s involvement in our election or 45’s campaign’s possible collusion with Russia or 45’s attempts to obstruct the investigation, but to attack Comey’s reputation?
I’m sure dinner last night wasn’t a social affair as much as it was a strategic meeting. 45/WH is not being silent about their intent.
This is what I suspect we’ll see from GOP during Comey testimony.
I don’t trust these Republicans. I don’t.
Neither do I, bella. They’re already showing that it’s about party before country. But even more, it’s about self-interest before party.
They all have their talking points.
Morning everyone! Happy Wednesday….Big day today:) Can’t wait for all these guys to prime the pump for tomorrow and Mr. Comey Goes to Washington! ITMFA
What a REAL President looks/sounds like
Good Morning TOD.

From Mayhew at Balloon Juice:
Call the Senate & pessimism index update
by David Anderson
at 8:21 am on June 7, 2017
Call the Senate.
Right now, it looks like the Senate’s plan is to make a few minor tweaks to the AHCA, and then dare half a dozen Repbulicans to vote no. It would be a rapid turn-around with votes in under a month from today.

BREAKING: Kansas House votes 88 to 31 to fundamentally end Brownback tax cuts and override gov’s veto. It will be law. #ksleg
Just read this on MaddowBlog. Brownback really messed up that state..glad they overrode his madness and are trying to restore some order…Brownback may get a job with DT….would fit in perfectly.
Bip! Bam! Boom!
At the end of the day, nothing will change if you don’t go vote.
😍 This little warrior!
🙂
This is INSANE
Makes Sessions look a tad guilty, wouldn’t you say? (We ALL know he lied)
I don’t know how you don’t call all this a constitutional crisis.
Wow, good catch!
Thanks, meta:)
Look at that picture of our former VP, doesn’t he look like a President.

America has left the world, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland signalled in Tuesday’s landmark foreign policy address. Canada and its allies will hang together, she vowed, awaiting its return.
This was a very dangerous thing to say. But we live in dangerous times.
OMG>>>OMG>>>>OMG 😮 😮 😮
BREAKING: Trump FBI Director Nominee Wray Is Partner at Law Firm Representing Russia’s National Oil Company Rosneft http://www.kslaw.com/imageserv…..wledge.pdf …
DEALBREAKER. He will not be an impartial investigator of Rosneft, which is at the heart of the allegations against Trump’s entanglement with Russia.
Probably why 45 decided on him over Pistole…who he perceived would be “loyal”.
Gee, thanks
Amounts to lip-service. If they really expect the WH to honor requests, then they will make a bi-partisan request. There’s a reason the requests are coming from just Democrats and sends a signal to 45 that the GOP is not going to force the issue.

And then use June to “buy” the incremental votes they need. Most ppl. think it will pass w 50 & there are 43 in now.
Thread. Do NOT trust what Republicans say….watch what they DO. They want to KILL YOU. Not hyperbole.
Wrap your head around this. A deeply hated and unpopular pseudo president wants to take the healthcare away from tens of millions of people…He’ll still have HIS, he wants YOURS gone so that he can give even MORE tax breaks to his friends and family. Does that sit well with ANYONE??
Pay attention. Share what you know
All you need to understand. SHARE WIDELY. CALL YOUR REPS
Mark Warner is talking about STUFF now!!!
Rodgers is not cooperating
They come up with some way to lie without looking like they are lying because they want to protect that pathological liar they call President.
yes
They’re all copping out. They say because this is a public hearing…they aren’t talking and sharing with the public
This “I never felt pressure to interfere or intervene..”” bullshit
They’re trying to make it about “them feeling pressured”. The point is, did maniac45 engage in a conversation about FBI investigation into Russia’s and 45 admin election shenanigans. This is not about someone feeling pressured.
Big, damn CYA Party going on here.
Watch the Republicans on this committee rally around the troops…protect the puppet. Then this makes sense
Lying crooks.
No the Republicans are just like Trump, I don’t trust them at all. Our hope is 2018, we have to get out to vote.
TY, Allison
Um. I just got a text from a source: “the Department of Justice is on fire.”
