The Obama Diary 
TOD: Step this way, sir
Me: Thank you, first!
Told you no one does it like you:)
Master.
Congrats Sir Don on #1!
G’morning Nerdy & TOD. Wishing everyone a peaceful, pleasant and safe Saturday 🙂
Congrats sir Don on FIRST!
Thanks NW for posting these. Every $5 will help ❤
Excellent!
THANK YOU, Nerdy, for this collection of positive and affirming posts. We need to know that there are good people out there doing their best to serve. THANK YOU.
This morning he referred to her as an ingrate. He can only get worst.
Exactly. Exactly.Exactly. No doubt about it…now the business of connecting all those dots before the slammer. I hate all these SOB’s with the heat of 1,000 suns. May they all rot in hell
Roger that, {{{{{{{{{df}}}}}}}}}}}}
Amen, brother.
This was an awesome segment
Looks like it. I’ll try to find entire thing. Malcolm knows what he’s talking about
This ^^. Thanks desertflower. I feel the same way.
How I yearn for those days when we had a President who approached every situation with caring competence…and we here on TOD never, ever took them for granted!!!
SAME.
Precious almost sacred times to remember. In statk contrast to the present occupant of the White House
Trump playing golf while an island sinks and suffers. Typical of someone who has zero empathy for his fellow human beings. President Obama cut his vacation short during national emergencies.
Republicans are so disgusting that this is beyond comprehension.
From the Hill article: “Still, the change would not eliminate the regular requirements for a CBO score.”
Idiot. One way being w/o power is a good thing…
He doesn’t care.
GA/GE TODville.
From yesterday, how California is helping with four natural disasters this month (Harvey, Irma, Maria and Mexico earthquake):
And if you’re wondering if the oceans are getting warmer (climate change is here now, not a future probability)…
And as FUBAR sends out defensive and malicious tweets, looks like officials are finally getting a better assessment of the dire situation in Puerto Rico:
And yeah, it looks like WaPo’s report of last weekend being a “lost weekend” for FUBAR is true. Here’s the cooperation (not) that WH and FEMA are offering:
So the answer is “no,” if it were the opposite they would have said so without hesitation.
GE, TODville Community.
Congrats, Don on your Au ⭐ Furst 😉
Great post, NW. Thanks!
so refreshing to watch this JER.
Thank you so much for this, JER.
Thanks JER!
I could hear our VC saying the same things – if she had attended. 🙂
Yea GxG, sure wish I could have attended! I watched the links here, was uplifted by both PBO’s content and presence so nearby, and am going to hang on to the hope that my chance to meet him is still feasible somewhere down the line.
Thanks heaps JER, keltuc, YDavis, et al for yesterday’s offerings. 🙂 🙂
❤️
{{{GxG}}}
{{{VC}}}
Thank you so much, JER, for sharing this. I have a niece and grand nieces and grand nephews (her children) in Canada and they all love and respect President Obama. It’s a shame that many Americans never really appreciated this marvelous human being who, as president, served our country so well for 8 years. Thankfully, President Obama is still relatively a young man. I am sure he will continue to challenge and inspire young people to strive to build a better world.
So true as you see more people dislike the video than like it, so I clicked like to raise the number. Smh.
So what would the right wing conservatives be saying if President Obama were playing golf while Americans suffer from hurricane. And the help from the federal government sucks like it is now.
next time around, think before you pull that lever.
Goodnight TOD ….
I was just trying to post our forever FLOTUS who attended Burno Mars concert last night.
Thank you NW.
Yup … Michael Che nailed it.
And I used to think Bush was the lowest … oh boy, was I ever proven wrong. .
Thanks for posting this meta, Love Michael Che.
W was a horrible president who ignored warnings of terrorist attach because he was too busy being on vacation. He lied us into war, with horrendous effects the entire world still suffers. But Trump is in a category all by himself. Absolutely rewriting the rules on what it means to be Machiavellian, an unpetentent, repugnant snake with ZERO human qualities. The WORST.
Snakes are far more highly evolved and have far greater dignity. No creatures in nature behave so appallingly, they only take what they need to survive, not leaving death and destruction in their wake. This thing in the WH has no human good left in him. On any level. His soul, once it leaves the earthly plane, will join that of Adolf Hitler, never seeing Light or rebirth again for all eternity.
I’m curious as to what are O.J. Simpson’s thoughts on today’s players kneeling during the anthem.
scum will do what scums do.
Are we really going to let Puerto Rico wither away?
They need to start speaking out publicly against him. He needs to understand that people aren’t afraid to call him out.
I don’t know who this woman is but this is LIT
WTF?!
Thread. She’s fierce!

With Air Force One visible in the background, President Barack Obama speaks to a crowd gathered inside a hangar at Muniz Air National Guard Base, shortly after his arrival in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tuesday June 14, 2011. Obama’s visit to Puerto Rico marksthe first by a sitting U.S. President since John F. Kennedy.
June 14, 2011
President Obama stands with Gov. Luis Fortuno, and his wife Luce Vela de Fortuno, left, and Rep. Pedor Pierluisi, D-Puerto Rico, right, as he tours La Fortaleza, Tuesday, June 14, 2011, in San Juan.
Instead of the country being cowed by the usual dog whistles and threats, I think we are finding our courage and fortitude. Also most definitely our capacity for verbal retribution. Look out alt right. You are way behind the healthy, normal US citizens when it comes to shade. I am not sure shade is enough. Perhaps total eclipse and its only beginning.
🕯
UGH
Oh yes, those trillions of dollars that always seem to be hovering offshore waiting for the perfect economic storm to take place so they can come ashore.
Brock is losing it.
Those days are gone, matty.
CHIP. It’s for CHILDREN and they still said FU.
If you know a Republican, talk to them. These aren’t your grandfather’s Republicans. They are cruel and heartless. Food and health are now a luxury…and water, too. Ask Michigan.
I suppose he does not understand — or just flat out ignores — the phrase in the Preamble to the Constitution that says, “promote the general Welfare.” It means the health and well-being of the citizens — ALL the citizens — of the United States. These congress people took an oath to uphold *THE* Constitution; not pick and choose which parts they will uphold.
They ALWAYS skip over the parts they don’t like, we know this.
beebs showed to the entire world some entire nfl team saying fuck you to dotard turd and taking to their knees. way to #maga.
now, if only them small town ‘folks’ had some sane alternative.
From Zarna Joshi, yesterday..
“This colonial empire doesn’t give a damn about the people it colonizes. It especially doesn’t give a damn when those people are brown. Puerto Rico is in a horrific situation but the best military in the world, the US military, isn’t anywhere to be found. They’re too busy fighting wars over oil that caused the climate disaster that has wiped out Puerto Rico and put its people in this devastating situation.”
– This update is from Carlos in Puerto Rico: –
“I am here right now with a sip from a cell tower, which will probably have its diesel stolen promptly and will fade out.
3 died today from lack of dialysis in a hospital – no power for six days, no diesel for the emergency generators, no diesel for the diesel trucks to take the diesel.
I spent 12 hours today to get fuel to go work and the fuel tanker never arrived at the station.
Over 3,000 cadavers were unearthed naturally by flooding in Lares and now float on the township, creating pestilence problems.
There are over 1,200 containers with aid and supplies (food, everything for we are an island) that cannot be distributed for truckers don’t have diesel for the trucks.
I have seen a grand total of 2 National Guard trucks going from Ponce up Cayey since the hurricane. That’s all the US military presence I’ve seen firsthand. 99% of everything has been done by us, manually. Police have no radio, no comms, no phones, no gas to move their cars.
99% of PR has no electricity, and 75% has no running water. Over 90% of cell phone service is down. I’m living with a knife-edge machete alongside me, because of the looting and crime.
That’s the current situation, in a nutshell, no BS.”
