The Obama Diary 
good evening!
Evening Dee. Gosh I haven’t been this early since Mr. Obama left.
Congrats on first
thank you! Super to see the walls falling in the UK in the royal family. Now if Mr Trump could resign, this world would so improve.
Good Evening to you Dee!
Congratulations.
Well done, Dee! Nice to have some happy news in this world.
Yes!
Hope you all had a good day.
Even this woman, who works for her, uses lower case for flotus in her case. And this might be stunning if Mrs. Obama had approved it, but (I freely admit) because it’s the current thing in that role, it looks hideous to me.
Looks haunted
It is, DF! By the insidious. Uggh!
LOOKS ‘DARK’ LIKE THE OCCUPANTS..NO LIGHT HERE!
It truly look like the road to death & destruction. Highway to Hell.
I agree JOB. What is that? It does NOT look as good as it did when Michelle Obama was First Lady. No, No, No.
Some people have no taste. Have you seen the golden mess of a penthouse in NYC? Yikes! $$ can’t buy taste or class. Tacky AF
It’s simply bizarre.
Is this photo shopped? Surely this can’t be so! đłđŻ
Don’t know. I’m thinking the “twigs” are white and maybe with the right lighting in the daytime or something it might be okay … but this photo makes it all look hideous.
Definitely no taste, tacky as hell, they dont really believe the Christmas story, so anything will do for the holidays, looks like a haunted street
Congrats to the newly engaged couple best wishes for a long and happy life together
As nasty as nasty gets.
Replace tree by “teenager”.
Hmmm, a white Christmas.
THEY ARE DARKNESS AND THEY LIVE IN DARKNESS..WHERE EVIL DWELLS….
What an odd, strange weird cuckoo display to represent Christmas in the White House. Bizarro – I really just can’t comprehend what’s going on here in terms of “Christmas”. Frankly, shocked they don’t have little baby Jesus all over the place to please their “Christian” supporters.
Miss Havisham in Great Expectations.
So many are!
The Maverick has returned… briefly.
Neither does the Republican Party John!
The Dotards aren’t invited. If by protocol they have to be invited, they will be in the stables, away from the horses. I somehow don’t see this as heads of states kinda invite. The Obama’s are definitely on invite list, more so because of that relationship. Just my humble opinion.
Totally agree. I know Mrs. Dotard will jump at the occasion to showcase some billion-dollar dress.
With a coat draped over her shoulders, never worn! đŻ OK, am being deservedly petty! đ
I donât think it will be either the Obamas or the Trumps. The Trumps will be invited because, after all, the United States is still the closest ally of the United Kingdom. The Obamas will also be invited, mainly because theyâve developed such a close friendship with Prince Harry. I am sure the Obamas will go to the wedding because of that close friendship. Even though they may be invited, I doubt that the narcissist Trump will accept the invitation. Trump wouldnât want to go to a public event where he would be outshined and outclassed by Barack and Michelle Obama.
Remember when Don the Con wanted to ride in the gold carriage? The Queen has refused to host the Trumps and forced him to cancel his trip to London. I doubt very much they’ll be invited to ruin the day for Harry and Meghan.
The Queen adores President and Mrs. Obama and both have worked on projects very important to them together. I don’t see how they’re not included.
I think the Obamas will go and the idiot will make up some sorry ass lie about why he can’t attend….Allies or no, you don’t want to tarnish your special wedding day with that
OF COURSE THEY WILL…PBO SHOULD BE IN THE WEDDING PARTY..ONE OF THE BEST DUDES..AND FLOTUS IN THE MAID OF HONOR DECORUM..<3
Oh, WOW. I despise that guy. I hope she finds a groundswell of support!!
I like the way the fake news is announced.
Are there more sex scandals ahead?
and
Rep. Luis GutiĂŠrrez (D-Ill.), immigration reform advocate and strident Trump critic, to announce retirement Tuesday, Democrats say
GutiĂŠrrez is set to announce he is retiring from Congress on Tuesday, according to multiple Democrats familiar with the decision. The 63-year-old congressman has served his Chicago district since 1993 and is a senior member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
A Puerto Rican, GutiĂŠrrez has been a lead proponent in recent weeks of providing federal aid to storm-ravaged Puerto Rico. While a strong critic of Trump, GutiĂŠrrez was among the harshest critics of former president Barack Obama, whom he called the âdeporter in chiefâ for ordering immigration agencies to deport hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants.

Oh boy!
This concludes my reading and sharing for tonight. This one is just too big for my heart.
He’s too damn old and cranky!!
No way! Am going under my blankets right now. Ugghh! Jaysus, how do we make that old man get off our collective lawns?
Omg. Please let this not be true. If he gets nominated … guaranteed republicans will win again.
NOPE.
WE ARE NOT HAVING ANOTHER ERRATIC OLD CRANKY WHITE GUY IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
NO WAY…AND BERNIE IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO OLD!..NOTTA..NO WAY!
He needs to run as an “Independent” NOT as a Democrat! Since he doesn’t care for our process and will probably side with the GOP half the time if he were elected.
Michelle Obama will be in Toronto tomorrow.
Gonna stomp off to bed now. Sleep well, Obama people! Love ya all! Proud to be one.
For an end of the day smile for our TOD family!
Love that!
Morning,
Reading about the Pocahontas remark by PP, I can’t help but wonder why anyone would still go to the Whitehouse for ANY of event. I know these occasions are meant to honour accomplishments etc but nothing from this regime is worth showing up for.
That is my feeling also, Jey. Trying to understand why anyone goes, knowing what we all know about his bigotry, racism and cruelty.
LOLz, THIS. Starved for simply, happy, positive news.
Morning everyone. Just called my senators and left a message for them to vote NO on that tax bill…..Both of them voting no would put a smile on my face.
This. We need to overcome all of them.
The way to defeat this is to acknowledge the legacy of slavery/Jim Crow…that is to challenge/defeat white supremacy/racism/white privilege….Full Stop!
Maybe all of Trumps supporters could emigrate to Russia and live there with their hero.
I’m glad Conyers stepped down from Judiciary. When impeachment hearings begin, this is the committee that will bring the investigation forward. We cannot have anyone leading it who is facing any allegations of wrongdoing or compromising its determinations in any way.
Interesting………
OH! This is from TODAY! Veerrrrry interesting…..
I think he’s methodically building a strong global network for his continued work. I’m sure he’ll be greeted very enthusiastically.
Count on it
Guess this is why he was starting out via a visit to Hawaii!

Changes to Senate GOP tax plan may benefit Trump
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY – 11/28/17 09:11 AM EST
Call them, and call them out. WE SEE YOU!!!!
Okay I’m gonna just say it. PRESIDENT OBAMA is still PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. But what I keep trying to figure out is who’s going to tell our ForeverFLOTUS that she’s gonna have to move back into the White House when Mueller indicts Trump, the TrumpKushner Crime Family, the entire KremlinKlan in the executive branch, 1/3 of the GOP House and at least 7 GOP senators.
OMG, THANK YOU, Sheila — had no idea. This, and the wonderful news of Prince Harry and Meghan’s engagement is tonic to the loathsome toxins from the majority of pols making the news now (i.e., GOPers, Dems in red states, Berniebros [aka Russiabros], etc.). đ
Just heard on the radio that Prince Harry and Meghan will marry in an “intimate” ceremony in St. George’s chapel in Westminster (I think that’s what I heard — don’t quote me on location, but I’m sure others will bring accurate news here), and the date will depend on when Prince William and Kate’s third child is born (due date is late April, early May) — apparently nuptials will happens after the next Prince/Princess’ birth.
i know…the President is spreading his influence…still giving the world hope…

Missed a lot yesterday (partly because I was offline for most of day, mostly because I was stunned by the utter humiliating *disrespect* heaped on every. single. indigenous. person and their forebears by the grotesque evil occupying the WH (GEOTWH), and then catching up on the most adorable couple in the news now [Special Relationship indeed, LOL]).
But damn, this goddam adm. and the LEOs (law enforcement officers) they support without question, regardless of whether the actions LEOs take are moral or not.
GEOTWH is dismantling our democracy into enormous CHUNKS (not mere bricks) every. single. day. Not hyperbole — GOP is INTENTIONLY attempting to plunge this country into the second Great Depression armed by corrupt and lethal local jackbooted thugs. JHC.
Expect to hear more about this on Monday (saw very little on Google or Twitter yesterday):
From the article:
“A week before sentencing, CBS News has obtained a memorandum submitted to the court by the attorneys representing former North Charleston Police Officer Michael Slager. In their argument for a lighter sentence the defense attorneys, Andy Savage and Donald McCune, say Slager did not lie about his conduct that day and they compare Slager’s apparent memory loss to that of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, CBS News’ Jeff Pegues reports.Â
Slager is scheduled to be sentenced next Monday, and one of the elements of the case being considered by the judge is whether he lied about his conduct and concocted a story about being attacked by Walter Scott. Scott, who was black, was shot and killed by the white police officer after a traffic stop in April 2015. In video captured by a bystander, Scott is seen running away from Slager who fired eight shots at his back…”

McCain Tells Clinton To “Shut Up” Like He Did
Newsweek
Graham Lanktree
I remember Barack having to tell John to “Shut up” about losing the election in 2008, McCain has a short memory.
I remember John McCain bringing up he “lost” at the ACA open meeting with the GOP when all they wanted to do was “start from scratch” after all the hard work was done.
What will Trump think? POTUS44 will meet with Xi, and Modi on his trip to China, India, and France.
Why can’t any “liberals” use their technology for GOOD! Why couldn’t someone do this 2 billion times more “FOR” net neutrality?
We donât live & breathe cheating like Republicans do. Theyâre better cheaters, because they practice it more.
Agreed, Dudette, they live and breathe cheating and dirty tricks to win at all costs, but Dems have to fight it or get rolled. It’s like dealing with terrorists.
How cute is this? đ
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to marry in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle – and are planning ceremony themselves
By Hannah Furness, royal correspondent Olivia Rudgard, religious affairs correspondent
28 NOVEMBER 2017 ⢠3:44PM
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to marry in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in May, it has been announced, as is it was revealed they are planning the wedding themselves.
Ms Markle, a protestant who went to a Catholic high school, will be both baptised and confirmed ready for the religious ceremony. She also intends to become a British citizen.
The Royal family will pay for the wedding – including the church service, the music, the flowers and the reception, Kensington Palace said. The couple want a “fun” wedding to make the public feel involved in a ceremony that is likely to be televised.

did anyone get to see this press conference…..
i got the link….not sure if it happened yet..
đ
Idiot can’t stop being a horror show.
I may be a bit slow on this one, but did y’all know Meghan Markle was born on PBO’s 20th birthday??? So, that has to be more than cool!!
Thanks for posting….
this brightens my heart so much to see the Obamas on the world stage
Me too! đ
Uh huh
Uh huh
Good day TOD! Given the daily dismal news in our country, I intend to enjoy every last little piece of info/gossip over the upcoming royal wedding the next few months:-) We need some pure joy to counter the daily assault. And I hope Michelle starts early in finding something truly spectacular to wear. Can’t imagine the Obamas will miss this one.
Has anyone else thought that the Obamas have had a hand in the acceptance of Meghan by the royal family? I believe their role on the world stage, as well as their close relationship with Harry, has shifted minds and hearts on the issue of race worldwide. Whie DT can do his damnest to try to erase PBO’s legacy, having the Obamas in our homes on a daily basis for 10 years now has changed everyone’s perception worldwide. And it is good!
Finally, I am thrilled that “Nancy and Chuck” declined to meet with DT after his nasty tweet this morning. Consequences. And time for the Dems to visibly stand up to him.
Yes Foxfire, I also believe that the Queen’s friendship with the Obamas has helped the acceptance of Meghan into the family.
I’ve seen several comments that Harry is her favorite grandson – not sure if that’s true, but she did participate in that Invictus response between the Obamas, Harry and Justin Trudeau. Maybe it was the combo of Harry and the Obamas that persuaded her!
I’m hopeful that if Meghan continues to receive too much ugly commentary from some odd corners of the British press, that the Queen might step up to help quash it…another unprecedented move!
I sincerely hope we see the Obamas and the Trudeaus side-by-side at wedding of the new Windsors. Meaghan is apparently already tight with Sophie Trudeau – so much friendship, love and style in one place is really something to look forward to in May.
đ
INCREDIBLE!
đ
I love this woman so much!
