The Obama Diary 
Just in time to say Hi before leaving. See you later.
We knew it 30 years ago:
“What troubles lie ahead for a generation reared by strangers? What kind of adults will they become?
“It is scaring everybody that a whole generation of children is being raised in a away that has never happened before.” (Edward Zigler). “At least one major survey of current research, by Penn State’s Belsky, suggests that extensive day care in the first year of life raises the risk of emotional problems….Wth high-quality supervision costing upwards of ….. a week, many families are placing their children in the hands of untrained, overworked personell. In some places, that means one woman talking care of nine babies. Nobody doing that can give them the stimulation they need. We encounter some real horror stories out there, with babies being tied into cribs.”
((Claudia Wallis, “The Child-care Dilemma”, Time)
The U.S. is the only only OECD member: “that does not guarantee a working mother the right to a leave of absence after she has a child….Many parents return to the workplace grieving.”
–Multiply the damage by a trillion and what Trump is doing by separating and caging nursing babies, pre-verbal toddlers, and children of all ages. The Hague will be too good for him and Pence when this is over.
And IT WILL be over.
I’ll take whatever joy I can find – Obama playlist & book recs included!
yes
This made me smile:)
Me too…esp the photoshop of Pres Obama…hahahaha…i love how folks love our President
After skipping the G7 summit meeting on Climate, Oceans and Biodiversity:
Trump: “”I’m an environmentalist. A lot of people don’t understand that,” Trump said,
citing his experience filing environmental impact statements for real estate developments.””
good to hear that DiCaprio put together $5 million to help put out the fires in the Amazon.
Too bad too many people don’t understand that this man is a pathological liar. I don’t believe he can even make the distinction between the true and his lies any more. He is a danger to us all.
OMG…I love…Love me some Pete Sousa….
Good West Coast morning NW and TOD family.
Our forever President Obama is a GOAT with a heart of pure gold. 🥰
AMEN!!
Every since I have been seeing the fire burning in the Amazon, I have been thinking of the song by Michael Jackson call Earth Song. I’ve been watching that over and over.
any one stepping down from the Senate
I keep hearing Democrats talk about how this candidate doesn’t excite them or that one doesn’t excite them, but I say to hell with all that excitement talk. Getting Trump out of office ought to be the only excitement any Democrat need. Knowing that if Trump is re- elected he could put another SP judge on the bench, that ought to excite all Democrats. With the news of Ruth B.Ginsburg having cancer remove , that could be another seat for Trump to re-place. We Democrats must com together.
Agree with you. I need no excitement. All I am waiting for is 2020, Election Day, and while waiting, I talk to as many new and non-voters about the need to votes this deranged man out!
I totally agree with you Hillary. I am so sick of this excitement stuff. One thing about Republicans is that, they do not care about excitement. That is one reason why we have Trump. If excitement and large crowds elected Presidents, Sanders Would be President right now.
Totally agree with you. Folks need to grow up and stop needing to be entertained.
Right now I would be super excited to have a F*CKING POTTED PLANT as president.
Mafia Don’s “environmentalist” record. True story:
Trump through the window of his chauffeured car repeatedly told archeologists who were finding artifacts in the NY site he wanted to build on: “Make them (the artifacts) go away, just make them go away.”
Fact: When a real estate outfit wants to brieak ground in NY for example, archaeological investigation is required and LPC guidelines must be followed: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/lpc/downloads/pdf/2018_Guidelines%20for%20Archaeology_Final_high%20res.pdf)
Love this post! It centers us, to remind us there are more important things to think about – like President and First Lady Obama! Pretty sure you all know what I mean. 🙂
When the little russian isn’t proffering his Miami golf re$$$ort for the next G7:
He is lying to the cameras that Putin could have been prevented from annexing Crimea….by President Obama.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!! Sweet, sweet BABY DOGS!
Bo and Sunny.
SOON: Beto O’Rourke attends town hall in Charleston, SC – https://abcnews.go.com/Live/video/speciaL-live-6
Mr. Robinson:
“In Trump’s fanciful version…Crimea was “taken away from President Obama. … It was very embarrassing to him.” That embarrassment, Trump falsely claims, is the only reason Russia was kicked out of the group. Trump wants Russia readmitted….You will also recall that at last year’s G-7 gathering, Trump reportedly said that Crimea was really Russian all along… And, of course, he offers no suggestion as to what Obama might have done to prevent the Russian invasion.”
(Includes list of Trump lies about PBO: https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2019/08/27/trumps-obama-envy-eugene-robinson/)
The trump headlines in 2019 are still unbelievable. Correct, but unbelievable.
And her hubby with the 1 – 2 punch. King Petty in the house and I am here for it!! This falls into the “sweep the leg” level of petty. LOL LOL
LOL! I’d love some of that kinda petty in my life! 😂💞
If I’m not mistaken, I think Betsy said she was coming to DC & tour museums while hubby attends conference. Well, Betsy, here’s something you might be interested in doing. This is an App to guide you through DC, where you’ll see little known or forgotten Native American history. Right here in Nation’s capital.

That’s great! Thanks so much!
So glad you saw this, Betsy! Have a wonderful trip!
Will do! I teach American History to 8th graders so I am very excited! Hope to be there the first week in October, Thurs-Sunday.
Am so happy for Serena. Doubly happy! 💞
WE NEEDED MUELLER TO CALL FOR AN INDICTMENT OF TRUMP
Yes and not just as related to Volume 2.
It’s now up to We The People. Those of us, the majority, who truly care about this country.
I hope we come out better post Trump. But remember we still have his allies to contend with
HA!
Love that!
Goodnight TOD …
RIP! 💞

Good Morning Everyone!
First a little inspiration!
She’s the designer for our FLOTUS. Made that gorgeous outfit for first inauguration, walking down Penn Ave. Outstanding!
And now for some belly laughs.
Disclaimer: I generally avoid posting stuff with that creep’s mug on it (or his concubine’s) but this was too perfect! 😂
This! 👇🏾 😄
Fab Dudette.
To be fair, the military personnel could’ve randomly doubled over and collapsed to the floor.
And more stellar if Trump had put hands over his ears.
And some interwebs cuteness!
The sweetness! 💕
Beautiful story, I just saw it on the evening news with Lester Holt.
😆
Did they run out of arsenic? 😏

What of Russia’s “floating nuclear power station” now sailing from Murmansk to Chuckotka in the Arctic?
The plan is apparently to send more nuclear power stations by sea into remote areas.
Arctic shipping is opening up.
= 40 years of imo intentional melting of the Arctic by Exxon and big oil.
= Now if only the dastardly Putin-Trump duo can acquire Greenland into the bargain.
Or is it a video clip from a lost 1960’s Bond movie?
Expect to see a guy looking a lot like Putin, complete with prosthetic metal hands due to radiation exposure take over global television airways.
Over last weekend, to avoid iQ45 invasion of my teevee, we watched a documentary on Teddy Pendergrass. Some stuff I knew, others were news to me. Anyhoo, in that documentary, was this clip of Teddy in concert in London. Phew!
Documentary was: Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don’t Know Me.
is the msg to young girls about getting on Vogue front page….or…
JUST IN: Scaramucci says 25th Amendment should be considered to remove Trump, citing “full-blown insanity” …
The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of a president if the vice president and a majority of Cabinet secretaries agree in writing that the commander in chief is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” … http://hill.cm/GXGrvTW
I have a feeling #2 is equally insane! 😏😔 The others might be certifiable. Let’s go straight to Nancy & call it a day! 😂
The message….
If you f**** with us…we Will go after You….i’m sure this message is not lost on the agents in the DOJ
We’ve seen how Mr. McCabe is such a good guy. Meanwhile Barr is descending into the stygian hell realms with the rest of the Ring.
Ben Rhodes last night on O’Donnell:
(hv transcribed)
“President Trump came into this office with kind a world view of a habitual right wing consumer, he had this desire to get into a trade war with China. But he had no idea Lawrence where this was going to end, what the objectives were. To this day, when we’re well into this trade war, we still don’t know what Donald Trump is trying to achieve, and let’s be honest, about what we’re facing here – the tariffs are taxes on Americans.
Americans are paying more for goods because Donald Trump is levying these tariffs. Americans in key industries that he needs for his re-election, like agriculture, are being decimated by this trade war with China, because the reprisals from China are really hurting American farmers. So what we are seeing and I think the Democratic candidates have articulated, is Donald Trump’s recklessness – the thing everybody knows about it.
He is reckless, impetuous and doesn’t think things through. We’re seeing the very real consequences of that, day-to-day the prices people are paying and the costs this is having on American sectors that are really important to our economy. And most importantly to the potential recession that is coming! He inherited the Obama economy and his reckless trade war could put us into a global economic downturn, and I think that’s what’s worrying all these leaders and that should be worrying Americans as well.”
Dronald is away in the head. And the G7 underlined it.
–the Real World Leaders can just say No.
Mercy..Mercy!
“He simply says what he wants to be true,
without concern about whether it falls in the same quadrant of reality
of anything that’s happing on this planet. Trump will lie about his contacts with another government, even when he knows that government is almost certain to contradict his statement. He’ll lie about his statements to his own Cabinet, even if Cabinet members have already discussed the truth of what he said. He’ll lie about statements he made in front of news cameras, or on Twitter; then he’ll lie about his lies.”

—“Remember when President Xi Jinping of China was the “enemy”? That was so Friday.
As of Monday, according to President Trump, Mr. Xi was “a great leader” and a “brilliant man.” (NYT)
Good Tuesday Afternoon, Beloved TODbots.
Thanks, NW☺🤜🤛😍
Thanks, TODville Community.
You can bet it will NOT get the same amount of attention.
Everyone yesterday seem to get pleasure out of reporting yesterday’s poll. They all had their canned responses to yesterday’s poll and pulled out the same pundits who always has something negative to say about Biden, including his age and gaffes.
Agree with what you said COS.
He’s a crook like Trump.
Evil looking Magoo! 😏
He’s making the rest of us look bad. Ha! More power to him – and Rosalynn!
Read on Vanity Fair an hour ago. Biden’s gaffes really only showcase what we’ve known about him for a long time-that he makes gaffes, writes Peter Hamby. Compared to the horror show coming out of Trump’s mouth and tweets on a near daily basis, who cares?
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^ THIS X 2 !!!
I think this premiers tonight @ 10pm on OWN:
I think it has been 2 episodes already Gazelle. It premiered a couple of weeks ago. Episode 3 will air tomorrow night.
COS, after posting this, I hit my TV search & realised am 3 episodes down! Smiled, because now I have 3 more distractions from iQ45 (or as Pete S. named him: Minus-45). I’m going to binge! I loved Moonlight, so am sure this is stellar. 💞
Thank you, Gazelle for posting this.
NOW: O’Rourke hosts town hall in Florence, South Carolina – https://abcnews.go.com/Live/video/speciaL-live-4

Virgin Maria, have mercy on me.

I will SO VOTE FOR FRICKIN’ BERNIE IF I HAVE TO.
But we really do NOT need another old white man.

BEAUTIFUL!
Whoa. This could be a game changer.
Only if our elected representatives begin enforcing the law instead of tracking polls …
Goodnight TOD …
