      Somehow, it means more than usual that President and Mrs. Obama have sent their good wishes to us, the American people, today. There is such ire and hatred gushing forth from the White House right now. We need the reassurance that the Obamas provide from their hearts.

      Got that right. I’m hoping the world understands this, as for hundreds of years before this ‘corrupt install’ we have been a strong leader and friend in the world. This is not normal for America. I hope they remember and forgive this stain

    Good morning, TOD family. A belated Merry Christmas!

    Nerdy, as always, THANK YOU for the gift that you daily give us; a calm port in the storm! Chips and Danny, love and miss you!

    Yesterday morning, for the first time in 2 years, 1 month, and 10 days, I woke up in my own bed, in my own home. Restoration isn’t finished yet, however, it is far enough along that we can hang out here for the holiday week. Will move back to the rental on New year’s day. Expect the house to be finished by Jan 15th, then moving in by the 30th.

    Just Mom and I for Christmas Dinner. God-daughters arrived late last night; Grandson and D-i-L #1 will arrive Friday. No word yet on if Granddaughter and D-i-L #2 will be joining us. Doing a scaled down party, here at the house on Saturday; home-made soups and sandwiches. Expecting about 30 folks. I’m Blessed.

        I’m exhausted from being in a constant hyper state. When President Obama was leading our country, I was relaxed and felt safe and knew everything would be handled thoughtfully and with the country’s best interests at heart. I feel none of this now, and have not, since this fraud got installed into the Oval Office. We need the nightmare over. I’m so grateful that Americans voted and at least we have a check on him in the House. I really, really wanted the Senate, too… but we shall see what becomes of things now. Eyes open. We plow ahead and move our country to a better place together

        • 51 Beaglemom
          December 26, 2018 at 2:56 pm

          My feelings exactly, Desertflower. I wrote to President Obama just before Jan. 20, 2017, to thank him, his wife and family, and the Bidens for having made so many of us feel safer and more confident about our country’s place in the world. Since that Inauguration Day, it’s all been the opposite. I hope we turn things around in the next presidential election.

    So that Russia President Donald J. Troop went to visit the troops in Iraq. I guess we are suppose to forget that he has the government shutdown because he want a wall.

    • 57 Obama Grandmama
      December 27, 2018 at 12:34 pm

      I think with all his problems of the last couple weeks he is using the troop visit to appear more Presidential. He always seems to do things for PR reasons and ratings.

    From MaddowBlog. This makes me happy

    * The race to take on Martha McSally (R) in Arizona’s Senate special election in 2020 is apparently already underway, with four prominent Democrats weighing candidacies. According to Politico, among the likely contenders is Mark Kelly, the former astronaut and Navy veteran married to former Rep. Gabby Giffords.

    • December 27, 2018 at 8:15 am

      i find it fascinating that the press has just about erased DNC Chair ..Tom Perez from the picture….i just have to smile because if he had failed his set goals …they would be all over him…His Motto…to run everywhere…to support candidates that match their districts…is great…Pelosi on the other hand has to find a way to find common ground for all the different methods…like we all think that HealthCare is a right…but there are different proposals on how to achieve that….Pelosi will have to use all her skills to create consensus and head off infighting…esp among those members who want to flex their muscles

        I remember when there was all the flack about Obama not going for Medicare for all and the public option being killed in ACA. Then our pragmatic president said we may need to get to Medicare for all in stages and his was the first stage and best chance at that time. We also heard that Canada had started in a similar fashion so if the healthcare does switch it will still be due to Obama realizing that you have to make a compromised start and get the public on your side through some experience before a better option can be realized. I just pray the Supreme Court does not squelch it. Unlike the theories I have heard I think Justice Roberts may go along with killing it due to the mandate being gone since he was the one insisting it was legal due to the mandate being part of the taxes.

      Used to work in Navy Public Affairs outside of D.C., and if we even THOUGHT a congressman or whoever was going to do any political talking on a visit, especially during an election year (which is every year for this orange jerk), we’d move the visit to the local university so it wouldn’t be where the workforce could hear it. This MAGA crap could be a violation of The Hatch Act. He makes me sick.

      I could only watch part of it … because I knew President Obama would NOT be speaking at the end of this one. And I think maybe yuck I may have seen Betsy “Cruella” DeVos in the audience. That was it for me. The parts I saw were great, though, and congrats to the honorees.

          It is not just you. The Obamas loved us and wanted us to be in on everything. This was especially gratifying to marginalized people. I always enjoyed when the cameras focused on he and Michelle to see how they were reacting to the various acts; the audience members would do this as well. I also looked forward to seeing what fashion Michelle was slaying in.

        • 83 jacquelineoboomer
          December 27, 2018 at 1:42 pm

          Yes. The good part is that the Obamas occasionally emerge and we get to see they are having a great life together, which keeps us going! They are loved around the world.
          And they know how loved they will always be – which is important, too! (That keeps me from allowing myself to miss them as much!)

    I saw Vice Christmas evening with two of my grown children at our family gathering in Reno. I recommend seeing it. Nineteen of us were there for seven days. What fun! My oldest son drove down from Seattle to travel along with me to help me as we flew out of PDX and I am using a walker currently for distances. (My only real hip joint is going out as I have had both knees and one hip replaced) My second son and family live in Reno and were hosting this year. My youngest daughter and family flew from MN and my other daughter and family flew there from Munich, Germany. I realize just being together is my biggest gift and blessing.

    Next time one runs into a PP supporter … should ask ‘what does it say about you to condone a liar?’.
    Is that how their parents raised them … that, lying is a virtue?????

    “How we approach the challenges we currently face is as important as tackling them. Even more so than during the Obama presidency, our democratic institutions are threatened and they are the only thing that separates us from tyranny. While it is tempting to look at people like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell with an eye towards giving back as good as they’ve dished out, it is critical that Democrats reject any and all anti-democratic strategies that have been employed and remind voters that tyranny is never the answer—no matter how angry or scared we are.”
