The Obama Diary 
I just got back from Barnes & Noble and I bought two of Michelle’s “Becoming.” One for me and one for my wife, she doesn’t know that I got her one because she’s sleep, she’s a Nurse and she works overnight. When she wakes up she’ll be surprised.
You are a good husband! Well done! 👏🏾
90% good, 10% strategic.
🙂
🤩
😁
Whatever, Don! Just so you get it right. And you did!! 😉 Congrats on a fine job.
That’s so sweet.
Happy thread:)
So sweet!
😆😆😆
Awww. I should suggest that to Hubby. LOL.
Paper in New Zealand needs a copy editor 😆
Thank you so much Nerdy.
Hope everyone has a great day.
I ordered two copies last night. One for me and one for my fabulous big sister.
Congrats to another fine TOD member who knows how to care for family. Good job idon 🙂
-hoping to liberate one tonight or tomorrow from local store! heh.
My son who arranged our trip to the LA Forum said he got word that our Becoming books are being sent to his place in Seattle and they should arrive while we are gone. I have been watching everything I can ahead of going. Watched the above clips and 20/20.
Super exciting!
Did you guys read President Obama tweet about Michelle’s new book? Lovely,Sweet, as only President Obama.
Yes, I posted it, upthread. Loved it!
Love it too.
#Siestaville !!!
Be back later. 🙂
Oh no!
CNN sues President Trump and top White House aides for barring Jim Acosta
CNN is filing a lawsuit against President Trump and several of his aides, seeking the immediate restoration of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s access to the White House.
The lawsuit is a response to the White House’s suspension of Acosta’s press pass, known as a Secret Service “hard pass,” last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN’s First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.
The suit is being filed in U.S. District Court in Washington on Tuesday morning, a CNN spokeswoman confirmed.
Lawd Have Mercy!!! You can’t get anymore racist or backwards than this woman.
Hmmm, so, there are roughly 48 million black folks in America according to the latest statistics. So a little less than half of those black folks living in America are having abortions. So the response was that it was okay to talk about lynchings because black folks are having abortions. Last I checked abortion was still legal, and lynching was not. So the line from abortion goes straight to lynching apparently.
You know, these people have a hate for black people that is both profound and psychological. And as a black man I refuse to even try to understand their condition, l love my people and myself too much to try and show even the slightest bit of empathy or understanding for these people. Why are black people always asked to show empathy for people that curse the very ground that we walk on. The sooner these people die off the better. I guarantee you that all three people in that photo probably think they are more smarter and cultured than their parents and grandparents.
OMG, this is grotesque. What a freakin’ CREEP. She needs to be put away!
Jaysus! If you’re just fine & dandy lynching Black folks, why are you even discussing abortions by Black folks. That’s so effing twisted it’s beyond the beyond. Am going back in my corner before I totally add words to dictionary.com & Webster’s. 😔
Sometimes folks just don’t know what to do….
a group calling for Congress to address Climate Change stages a sit in…wait for it….in Nancy Pelosi’s office….but wait it gets better…(or worse) Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez joins them in the protest…EGADSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
But why protest in Nancy Pelosi’s office? Maybe Pelosi’s staff were in the middle of trying to determine whom to subpoena first from Trump’s Administration. But now they have to take time away from that and try to deal with Ocasio-Cortez.
What is her issue I mean really. Mercy. She doesn’t even know where the bathrooms are.
So the Narcissist in Chief has taught the wife well, or she is plagiarizing him. She couldn’t let Michelle have this news cycle. She has spoken what twice this year and decides on the day Becoming comes out to pull a desire for attention about her husbands staff. #wherearethechildren
Good Evening, TODbots.
Congrats, Don on your Au ⭐
Thank you, NW🌹🙏
❤ ❤ ❤ TODville & Chipsticks.
Okay thanks David.
Not sure why, but David annoys me just a little bit, every time I “hear” from him. Anybody else feel that way?
-wishing everyone at the Chicago venue a happy night hanging out with our radiant First Lady.
Happy day and giant Congrats to FL Michelle!
They be eating their old & young, even Stepfords are feasting! 😂😏 Hillary called it months ago!

I liked Robin Roberts approach in this interview much better!
{{{Meta}}}
{{{{vc}}}}
Remembering: FLOTUS hosted all those music workshops for young people, packing them with big names in the Biz for tutorials and hands-on; mentoring programs for girls; dance shows; food and cooking fun events for children; inviting schools to help with the WH garden, being there at the door to receive WH visitors, the hilarity at Hallo’ween with PBO, egg roll competitions! visiting schools, 62 million girls – Let Girls Learn,
Let’s Move!,
And summarizing blackdoctor.com:
School Lunch Program, Fresh Food, healthy food oases, restaurant commitments to provide greens and partnering with USDA, MiPlato/MyPlate, making more tennis courts available to children and training coaches, Walmart reducing costs of fruits and vegetables and removing sugar and sodium, chefs and schools signing on to teach about food and serve healthier food in school cafeterias, largest food manufacturers pledging to cut 1.5 trillion calories from their products, clear calorie labels for consumers, Joining Forces, Reach
Higher Initiative. Phew…!!!
LOVE HER
I love her, too!
Gosh I really enjoy the talk with Val.
OMG! Here we go again!
He’s got no valorum, he’s lost his dingdorum. (old song)
AMAZING woman:
LIVE HERE: Hillary Clinton accepts award from the University of Texas – https://abcnews.go.com/live/video/special-live-3
Indeed, indeed. A little weary of that one.
Yep. Saw that coming.
While I am happy that Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez won her seat, I have never been a huge fan of hers. Can’t remember the interview, but she was asked if she would oppose Nancy Pelosi for speaker and she totally said yes without hesitation. I was a little shocked. Keeping a caucus together and whipping the vote is not easy. I think she has a lot to learn.
COS, you are very generous.
I simply hope that she isn’t a Nina Turner or a Berniesister in disguise. Like cockroaches, they spoil what they can’t eat.
I pretty much feel the same way. Hoping she’ll learn and grow. Knowing what we know of Nancy Pelosi, I’m kind of thinking she knew of the protest beforehand and told her to “Do what you have to do.” I truly can’t see Nancy perturbed by much of the things that might be on the highway ahead of her. As you’ve said, her experience is top notch and she’s ready to roll. She’s also said (to cool the heels of the newer folk, probably) that she’s not staying in the role much longer, since she’d like to go spend time being a grandmother!
Oh yes. I’m right there with you.
She and Saint Bernie are comrades. Attention seekers and spotlight grabbers, always taking the opposition no matter the cost to others. The press love her for the endless drama she’ll produce.
Frankly, I don’t consider it a good thing that I already can recognize this newcomer’s name!
To date she reminds me of some young people with whom I’ve worked who join the workforce so full of themselves and so arrogant in their ‘know-it-all’ approach that they often alienate the very people with whom they need to work to be productive. Sure they are younger and may come in with a fresh degree that implies they’re intelligent, but oftentimes they don’t know enough to take time to find out how they can best contribute in a previously established environment. Very few pause long enough to assess how the wheel had turned before they arrived and how their skills/ideas can be shared to augment its effectiveness. Instead they strut in, ask no question, and fall over themselves to tell the ‘older folks’ what they are doing wrong. IMO, Ms O-C’s ‘uncanny knack for grabbing the spotlight’ is likely to backfire if she doesn’t soon recognize that she needs to work **with** as opposed to walking in and /trying to/ take over. Just saying, the stories I’ve seen of her so far make me nervous.
If we must have a billionaire to take down the Trump Mafia, so be it.
Insane. Just insane. Turtle McConnell needs a long vacation. Alone. Out-of-space!
…he has a bad dose of it.
Am gonna stick w/ eff off, deplorables, for now. The night isn’t over, might expand my Webster’s yet! 😏
Fingers crossed!!
Even though all that is pathetic and sickening, I don’t like seeing trump at any of the traditional events. I’d prefer we just watch “old” videos of President Obama there! 🙂
🙂
OMG, so sweet.
♥️
The debate will be very interesting.
My daughter is one of the lucky people sitting in the audience to listen to and witness 2 powerful women of color..Michelle and Oprah.
She just texted me a picture of the floodlit stage and I’m in tears.
Good for her. And you, too.
Awesome!
Wow…
Oooooo! Can’t wait to listen!
I know why. The WH occupant is a white man. That’s why.
She should be deported IMMEDIATELY!
White fools… will be white fools.
Blaming everyone and anyone for his low IQ and insight!
Once Nancy Smash gets installed as Speaker, we need to get the 25th Amendment going on trump … then jail Pence … and she can run out 45’s term as President.
Let’s do this!
Oh, yes, and then those youngin’s coming into Congress will be happy because Nancy won’t be Speaker any more! Everyone wins! 🙂
Another 45 appointee (as seen on Rachel’s show):
Yes I do!
OUR SWING LEFT GUY WON!!!!
Another one. #HappyDance
THERE’S GEAR, PEOPLE. THERE’S GEAR!!!!
