The Obama Diary 
Good Sunday Morning! 😄
Thank you Nerdy! 😘
Good morning, Dudette! Good morning, Nerdy!
Hiya J! 😘
Good Morning Dudette! Watching #AMJoy (and yes, #IStandWithJoy) and amazed that some people are more upset about last night’s comedy routine by Michelle Wolf (that I though AMAZING) than are by last night’s crazy and divisive speech by #Trump in Michigan.
Hi! Diane! Joy is a treasure.
Funny how they’re more upset by jokes at an annual event where roasting is to be expected, than the constant lies coming from the fake President, his fake Press Secretary and everyone who works for him.
Disgusting! Congrats, Dudette.
Thanks Judith! Great tweet!
President Barack Obama in Japan March 25, 2018:
I enjoy now the ability to spend much more time with Michelle who is extraordinary. And when I was President, we were often both so busy that we didn’t always have time to enjoy each other’s company and have quiet moments. And we do now, and that is very precious.
At about 30:00 — https://youtu.be/Vz9dr2QJ9SA
Beautiful!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this JER!
Ms. Wolf spoke the truth. Nothing she said was exaggerated or a lie. If the media had done the same, perhaps we wouldn’t have a know nothing bigot in the White House who is focused on destroying this country.
So true Nerdy Wonka, so true.
Exactly, Nerdy.
Seriously. for trump it was ‘refreshing’ that he spoke his mind. Remember that? These idiots are crazy. Fuck them.
With that, good Sunday morning everyone:)
Yes indeed, DF! Michelle Wolf used comedy to expose the lies of the Trumpists and the complicit of the so called mainstream media in allowing Trump and his sycophants to get away with lying without consequences. For example, why are they always booking Kellyanne Conway to appear on their shows to lie with impunity?
Ms Wolf doesn’t play …
She’s still roasting.
So that’s what a “smoky eye” is, I never knew what it was and I didn’t even know that it was a thing. I’d see women with it and I thought it was cool and I always wondered how did they get that look.
((( Don 🙂 )))
I know President Obama is sitting back somewhere laughing his ass off at all the hurt feelings from last night’s WHCD.
Corporations over people. Remember who allowed this.November can’t get here soon enough.
Nope. Can’t get here soon enough.
And that’s why they’re all trying to push the Nobel Prize idea…anything the black president did, Trump can do better.
You don’t say.
Great Afternoon on a Sunday Afternoon.
Congrats, Dudette on your Au ⭐
Thank you NW, Lady You are Fantastic.
I was glad to seen Natasha, aka, Sasha, Obama. I have not seen her picture in over a year now.
Thanks to Cardi B. I don’t follow her on Twitter. Her Tweet just got RT’ed to my Timeline.
Looking Good, Sasha Obama 🙂
Not even Cardi B’s account. 😳
wow…she looks just like her dad!
Wow! You can tell Sasha’s gotten really tall. She’s growing into such a beautiful young woman. I see both her Mom & Dad in her.
😆
Great Thread by Kathy Griffin.
If you think Putin’s other client, i.e., Trump, wouldn’t do the same as Assad if he could, you haven’t been paying attention ….
Unbelievable! Wow!
Bob, as always, you inform us of the state of the rest of the world. Most Americans tend to believe that our life conditions are of prime urgency. But as I told folks after 9/11, people the world over are subject to torture and mayhem everyday. Thank you for reminding us that our prayers as well as our efforts should be for international well-being.
In summary ….
News outlets report the wife of former Vice President Joe Biden will deliver the commencement speech at Bishop State Community College on May 10.
OMG!!!…everyone wants in!…i worry about these folks long term impact
Yep me too Sheila.
I think I heard Richard Painter say one small negative thing about some past decision of President Obama’s once, among all the good anti-trump stuff he’s said, and that fuzzy recollection was enough for me to remind him we’re not going to take it!
Why a “fake” Democrat when we had a REAL progressive in Al Franken. I would rather have a lifelong Democrat than a lifelong Republican take that seat. When Trump is impeached does he flip and become a Republican? No thanks.
Totally get that. And he’s running against the Dem woman who took Al Franken’s place (sorry – forget her name), so she may get it. But he’s given up being a Republican because of trump, and is now a more national figure than “only” being a Bush ethics lawyer, with a prominent anti-trump voice. He also absolutely did not want Franken to resign without a full investigation – on principle not because he feels he isn’t guilty, but because he feels he got railroaded out while many others like trump did not, and that irks him immensely. But, again, although your take is totally valid and I’d be 100% with you in a normal environment, if he gets it over a current trump-loving Republican, I’m in.
i don’t trust these GOPers turned DEMs….sorry….Johnny Come lately…stay in your own party…transform that
This is probably a mean remark, but I am sure trump was not thrilled with Macron’s gift of a tree. First, he doesn’t care about trees, second, he had to look foolish using a shovel to help with the planting, and third this was a way to get back at Macron for his speech to Congress.
They are that petty – I can see them trashing it.
Hello all.
You know what’s missing in all the criticism of Ms Wolf, especially by the press, a real critique of anything she said that was not true.
Yes, sometimes the truth hurts and maybe they should learn from it.
Remarkable!
Remarkable Indeed, J’OB; especially for people in our age group. But then again, this what this country has been all about. Each generation has contributed and enriched its history. As a student of history, I was reflecting on the historical changes that have taken place that we now take for granted. For Example: in the 1850’s the anti-immigrant people formed a new party, which became known as the “Know Nothing Party.” The central goal of the “Know Nothing Party” (which the members called the American Party) was to stop the immigration of Catholics to the United States because it wanted to preserve the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant heritage of the United States. The “Know Nothing Party” was absolutely convinced that Catholic immigrants would destroy the United States because they owed their allegiance to the Pope in Rome. In the 1920s, the resurgent KKK added Jews and Catholics to Blacks, as the groups out to destroy America. Today, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, third in line in presidential succession, is Catholic. Six members of the U.S. Supreme Court are Catholic, and the the other three are Jewish. And, we just had a remarkable Black President for 8 years. You would think that by now religious and racial bigots would have learned a lesson about demonizing people who don’t look like them or share identical religious beliefs and practices, but who, nevertheless, have contributed to building this country.
I´m old enough to remember in 1961 getting a pamphlet at church which said not to vote for JFK because he would answer to the Pope. It was printed by the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Yes Indeed, Sara. And JFK, the first, and the only Catholic President will go down in history is one the best presidents. It’s so sad that his life was cut short by an assassin.
Powerful words, nath! Glad I am seeing this as I move through my day – gives us all hope in future times!
Thank you so much J’OB for your kind words. It is so nice to see you back. Your strength and kindness inspires me.
Tears squirted from my eyes! Thanks so much, nath. Means so much. And I’m glad to be back.
Good Morning ..TOD..
.so much has come to light since Ta Nahesi Coates wrote his piece “The First White President”…
this passage from the piece explains the WHPC resentment of Wolf’s monologue..
Man oh man, what a time we are living in, up is down and down is up. And the press is now standing as sentinels for a corrupt administration.
Why give a speech, just get straight to the bombing. Corrupt men and their lust for war.
Every single day I think I hate them as much as it’s possible to hate… and then they pull this kind of sh*t again and again and my hate seems to become bottomless.
DWEEB VS. FLAKE: WELCOME TO A PREVIEW OF HOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WILL COVER DEMOCRATS IN 2020
The New York Times has a story today about the top Democratic candidates in the Ohio governor’s race. The first thing the story’s author, Matt Flegenheimer, wants you to know about the candidate leading in the latest poll, Richard Cordray, is that he’s dull:

They don’t believe their own rhetoric. Shocking

Morning everyone.
We could have also forgiving or reduced Hud mortgages instead of kicking people out of their homes so that Sean Hannity could get government backed loans to purchase these same properties pennies on the dollar to only raise the rents to kick another group of people out of their homes.
UH HUH
UH HUH

As a wise man likes to say, Everything Trump Touches Dies.
The WHCA came to Trump’s defense. In a matter of hours the Correspondents’ Dinner as an institution was destroyed. It will never be held in this format again.
I wonder what or who is next.

It was a stupid idea anyway. Why do they need the President of the United States to entertain them and get roasted? The only thing that the GOP will accept is roasting Democrats or a church choir (of THEIR choice) to attend in the future. Why don’t they just roast each other and be done with it. It was only funny when PBO was the invited guest and roasted because it made them seem cool.
And I will never, ever watch it again, why bother. Those speaking out in support of thin skinned Sarah Sanders who lies non stop in a snarky condescending manner are no better than her and her boss. Well I would watch if President Obama came back on the scene.
I am sure SS’s and the Treason Administration is sitting back laughing how the press who they call “fake” and un-American are falling all over themselves to support them. It is disgusting. I won’t watch either, what a bunch of Hussies.
I’m just glad that it wasn’t a brother that broke the WHCD. LOLOL!!!
They would have made sure his career was ruined or found a dead white girl in his apartment.
I’m just saying, this isn’t about some imaginary yellow cake or some despot gassing his own people. This is about nuclear weapons and who controls them and who has the power to push the nuclear button. Because after you let that nuclear genie out of the bottle, she ain’t going back in, willingly.
Many of us followed the very long and tortuous process to finish and secure the Iran Deal. We trusted the people who forged it. Netanyahu and Trump, NEVER.
When the Obama Administration was working on the details of the Iran Agreement Nut-n-Yahoo was saying Iran was 99% in getting a nuclear weapon which now we know they were not. Now the Trump Treasonous Administration wants Iran to stop destabilizing the region by joining up with Assad and Putin or we will scrap the agreement and impose sanctions so we can bomb you and destabilize the whole region ourselves. I hope the DEMs will run on iQ45 and the GOP allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon while taking credit for NK while they already HAVE a nuclear weapon. I don’t see NK getting rid of their nukes.
The moment we drop a nuclear bomb on Iran, every country that isn’t run by homicidal manic will team up against the United States of America. You had best believe that other countries have war rooms and are planning for every contingency if we decide to go nuclear.
This entire weekend has laid bare for all to see the strength of Obama and the weakness of Trump.
AMEN….
She told the truth on them and they can’t handle it. If a comedian had done that to Hillary (which they did) or PBO it would have been just fine, part of their “tradition”, he/she shouldn’t be so thin skinned.
New post.
