The Obama Diary 
Good Afternoon TODVille!
I completed my Census online. Very easy.
Hey, NCLB! Congrats on gold!
Yes, online was easy, peasy! My Mom tells me that phone completion was super simple, too!
Thank you, NCLB! Spread the word!
Congrats NCLB on First!
I completed mine a couple weeks ago.
Congrats NCLB!
Did the same a few weeks ago. Very quick.
Thanks to you all. Stay safe.
Did mine too, last week. Very easy.
Good afternoon, TODville! What a grand and glorious day. The sun has reappeared after a few days of cliuds and rain. My Mom’s small, independent pharmacist Blessed us with two of the three bottles of alcohol that she received this morning. Her normal shipment is 10 bottles a week; since COVID, she’s been ordering 20 and receiving three. Thankful that my Mom has been a loyal patron for 40 years!
Nerdy, once again, THANK YOU! 💖💖💖
Good news for students in this nightmare:
Tough break for those parents that paid millions to try and sneak their kids into college and got caught.
Happy Census 2020 Day! Hope people will pay attention to it and get it done. Our libraries were all trained to assist people in multiple languages. Sadly, they’re all closed for the duration.
Sweetest thing
This morning, she also announced she is donating $1M to Vanderbilt for research for COVID-19. She’s definitely one good thing we have here in this state.
She’s wonderful
Goodness!!!! Get rid of it!!

Pay attention and Wake Up, MSM!!
Whoopi cuts through all the BS (!!! Get it!?)
Share this And I must say, that if Biden chooses either Kampala Harris OR Stacy Abrams, I would be thrilled beyond thrilled:)
Kamala . Damn spellcheck
Nicolle Wallace just interviewed her. Lordy, it was blessedly reassuring and soothing. And at the end, Nicolle asked how she is spending her time. She said cooking and watching Tiger King……then she did her laugh. Just wonderful……good for my soul.
As she was answering Nicolle’s questions so carefully, thoroughly and concisely, I kept thinking “THAT is leadership.”
Agree
BUILD THAT WALL!…(there’s a tunnel under it)
I had a tele-appointment with my primary car doctor this morning, everything went smoothly and she also has a wonderful sense of humor. I told her I get my temperature checked everyday at work, she replied “be careful where they stick that thermometer.” This tele-appointment thing should be considered going forward, only if its for maintenance purposes only. Every once in a you should go see your doctor face to face.
He opens his press conference talking about a drug bust, are you kidding me!
Guess he thinks we didn’t see Wag the Dog…
WTAF?
I see CNN and MSNBC are not covering it.
I spoke too soon …. damn. They are back to covering it now.
That’s Trump…Master of Changing the Subject
Will anyone ask about Obamacare enrollment or the lawsuit

Hi Everyone! It’s been a horrible couple days for me. Yesterday my aunt in NJ who had been in the hospital for a few weeks passed away after receiving dialysis. She died alone because the hospital was on lockdown preventing visitors. She didn’t have the virus but because of it my cousins can’t give their mother a funeral. She was 83.
Today I learned a young woman who I mentored at work a few years ago succumbed to the virus. She got married to a fellow colleague (such a cute couple) and moved to the Seattle area not long after I left the company. He was taken from her last year in a car accident. Now she’s gone. She was 30.
I just wanna go pull the covers over my head.
So sorry for your aunt, Dudette. Dying alone is horrible. My heart goes out to you and her children. COVID 19 is having a ball with all the people, young and old, that it is eating!
Dudette, I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt; especially that she died alone. My sincere prayers are with you and your family. Hang in there!!!
Sorry for your lost Dudette.
Oh my god, I am so very sorry Dudette. I have no words – sending you a virtual hug.
My condolences to you and your family, Dudette.
Dudette when a family member dies alone….and then combined with news about your colleagues…
that is big stuff to process. Please take care, sending you love and virtual hugs.
I’m so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. Please treat yourself well. This is so much to take in, on top of what we’re all dealing with. Sending hugs
Dudette, My heart hurts for you and your family. Heartbreak heaped upon heartbreak. 💔💔. Hugs and thoughts to you for peace and comfort. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}❤️💙
Condolences, dear Dudette. So sorry you and your family are experiencing such sorrow.
{{Dudette}}
Dudette, I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
{{Dudette}}, I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s so sad for your aunt and your family that she was alone. How tragic about the women you mentored. She was so young, losing her husband a year ago, and now she’s gone. Prayers to all of you. 🙏❤️
So very sorry, Dudette! Hugs & hang in there. 💞💖
{{{ ♥️🕊♥️ }}}
My deepest sympathy to You, your Aunt’s family and to your Colleagues’ Family.
🙏🕯🙏
💔💔
🙏💪💙🤗💜💪🙏
Oh, Dudette – I’m just seeing this. I am so sorry for the loss of your aunt and also of your friend. Sending much love your way and to your family, dear one!
Dudette, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear Auntie and your young mentee. My condolences to, and prayers for, you and both of their families. 🙏🏾💔🙏🏾
Oh Dudette, sending you virtual hugs and to your family and friends. This is such a horrible time for everyone.

I think even the Devil might show more compassion than these bozos.
I guess tRump has signaled to his loyalist governors that it’s okay to do what they should have already done.
Excuse me!????
Oh, dear lord, please don’t tell me he’s going golfing while millions can’t pay rent or have the wherewithal to put food on the table.
Actually, it would be best if that piece of disgusting shit would ONLY golf. Nothing else. By all means, GOLF you asshole!!
Yeah, there’s that
A hero. Thank you for your service to this country.

Welcome back! Formerly desertflower here:)
Please help spread this video to your networks. It spells everything out as far as the preparedness timeline and how very badly the orange con man screwed it all up and is now blaming PBO for everything.
Good Morning, TODbots.

“”Last week Trump was playing quid pro quo with Americans lives,
telling governors “it’s a two-way street. They have to treat us well.” The result of not doing so is not getting help. Take New York, which requested 30,000 ventilators and got 4,400. And is being outbid by FEMA on the private market, where the state has been trying to procure more. “What sense does this make?” Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters Tuesday.
“The federal government, FEMA, should have been the purchasing agent.
Buy everything, and then allocate it by need to the states.””
(https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/4/1/1933445/-Trump-still-insisting-governors-kiss-his-ass-to-get-depleting-critical-supplies)
“California got 170 broken ventilators from the national stockpile.”
“Alabama got 28 cases of face masks that had dry rot.”
“On the other hand, Oklahoma asked for 16,000 face shields and got 120,000. It had received about 84,000 N95 masks by the end of last week, “more than twice its original request.” Then there’s Florida, which is expecting its third shipment from the feds. It got 100% of what Trump’s good buddy Gov. Ron DeSantis asked for in the first two shipments.” (DK)
Dr. Jill is such a lovely person, who never stops going.
And good morning, meta and TODville! Thanks for keeping us here, Nerdy darlin’!
Good morning to you, dear Booms.
Dr. Jill is going to make a spectacular First Lady. She will be visible and FOR THE PEOPLE, not like the lazy do-nothing we have now sitting in her room reading fashion magazines.
You nailed it!
Best place for her. I don’t want to see THIS illegitimate fool any more than a want to see her illegitimate husband. I can’t wait until this nightmare is over
Fabulous!

(Twitter)
March 19
“We took the best economy we’ve ever had and we said ‘Stop. You can’t work. You have to stay home.’ … Here’s a case we’re paying a lot of money to stop things because we don’t want people to be together so that this virus doesn’t continue onward.”
