President Obama at White House Corespondents' Dinner 2012

YES!

What say YOU?

Madame Obama and Ellen!

Trekkies Unite!

**UPDATED*** FLOTUS

**UPDATE***

I searched for the origin of this picture and can't find it so it is probably photoshopped. I remembered the outfit and thought she'd simply recycled it and gave us some curly hair to ga-ga over and posted the pic because it made me happy.

That said...this is one HECK of a good photoshop job!  LOL!

First Lady Grade

People are always grading our President...but I'm curious as to what grade you'd give our First Lady.

Love.

From SIP: Erica B. has PISSED.ME.OFF!

Why We Should Let Sasha and Malia Obama Be Kids, Not Fashion Plates

SIP:  I cannot STAND people!  What in the flim flam are they supposed to wear to a damn black tie event???????? 

Love.

Is it Violent Cuz It's VIOLENT?????????????

This was included in an email from the Loudoun County Republican Party for Halloween.

They say it's not disrespectful and wasn't meant to be taken as if it's violence against the President.

What do YOU say?

You good?

 

Madame Obama's Fit: HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

Credible Threat

Yesterday we attended the Ravens' football game.  We were very excited and happy.  You know...looking forward to the game.

Earlier last week...we became aware of a credible threat to mark the anniversary of 9/11.

Yesterday was 9/11.

CREDIBLE THREAT.

And here is why it was such a big deal to us...

Because this administration hasn't slammed us with the words "credible threat" whenever they need a big political pull.  Seriously.  They haven't played that game. They haven't cried wolf and tried to keep us all messed up using fear mongering.

So we took that seriously and we were in hightened security mode while there because that's what we were SUPPOSED to do.

See...they get threats every.single.day.  They could very well put that out there every.single.day.  But they don't.  They do their jobs to ensure the threats are contained and handled.  THEY DO THEIR JOBS.

EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

So yeah...when they put it out there...knowing they don't use it to make folks tow some line...I listen. 

And so should you.

And we will ALL be safer because they use this authority WISELY.

What say you?

Question...

Should the First Lady eat a hamburger?

Do you find this cartoon funny?

Bin Laden is DEAD!

OUR PRESIDENT DID IT!  I THINK HE SHOULD GIVE THE SPEECH TONIGHT, DROP THE MIC AND ROLL OFF THE STAGE TO SOME CRUNKED OUT MUSIC BY EARTH, WIND AND FIRE.

 

Birther Bust

What do YOU think of the White House releasing the President's birth certificate?

President Obama interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on Super Bowl Sunday!

How do YOU think he did?

Madame Obama VS. Oscar De La Renta

Oscar de la Renta is pissed that Madame Obama wore a dress by deceased British designer, Alexander McQueen to the State dinner last week.

He says that if the event was about trade relations between China and America...she should have rocked an American designer.

What say YOU?  Should her fashion choices be political statements?  What did YOU think of the dress?  Should Madame Obama ONLY wear American designers to things like?

The President's Speech

Did you watch it last night?  What did YOU think? 

Why does EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON in this pic look as if they are having a BLAST??

Obama's Wars

If you would like to enjoy the holiday season and NOT barricade yourself in your home for the duration of your life I suggest that you do NOT read Obama's Wars.

Just know that our President has a LOT on his hands and I'm extremely impressed with how he is handling ish with our country's security in mind.

But yeah...it's scary.

What's the last non-fiction book YOU read?  Would you recommend?

The Pink Elephant

Well...it was a rough night politicially for Democrats and an even ROUGHER morning listening to and reading all the analysis and stats.  We've sufficiently gone BACK in time.  ROFL!  (I laugh so I can't cry.)

The winners, the losers, Boehner vowing to destroy the Healthcare bill, etc.

I blame Obama.

I blame him for doing all that damn pandering to the Republicans and acting like he has a brain in his head instead of fighting dirty, slinging shit and kicking azz and taking names.

He proved that you just can't do it  the way you SHOULD be able to do it.

You can only do it the fugged up way.

And being in politics...he should have KNOWN this.  You can't be a good guy in politics man. 

How are YOU feeling this morning?  You good?

What I LOVED about the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear!

I've never attended a rally for anything if I'm honest with myself.  See...seems to me that all of the important rallies I would have attended have been dealt with far before I was old enough to participate.  There are things, of course, that I'm in support of and against but I really haven't ever felt compelled to leave my home to join other people who felt as I did about a certain something.

I didn't support the war in Iraq from the beginning and yet...I had no intention of joining folks marching against it. 

I'm against racism of any form but...since I've been an adult I haven't even thought about heading somewhere to march with folks regarding.

I support gay people but nah...I'm not about to hold up a corner of their rainbow flag and march with them.

But I make my voice heard in other ways and with my vote.

When I first heard of the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear it immediately spoke to me.  The smart comedy coupled with sensibility just appealed to who I am as an American.  EPIC SIGNAGE was the mantra from the start and I loved the thought of participating in a forum where the voices of people like myself would be heard and our signs would be posted all over the internet and media as well.  I loved showing COLLECTIVELY just how flipping DUMB folks think this tea party nonsense is and I liked that people from all over connected with it as well on the same level.

As I was there looking around I felt really, really good knowing I was around "MY KINDA PEOPLE."  People who used their brains when it came to their politics and weren't afraid to tag someone with FACTS and not talking points.  FACTS. 

See...facts give you a calming sense of knowing you're right.  Facts make SENSE and you're able to think about them organically.  Talking points don't provide you with an opportunity for further conversation because there is usually a big azz PERIOD after spewing out a talking point you heard from an idiot because there is nothing to support it so there is pretty much nothing left to say after.

Except for a whole bunch of laughter at the idiocy of it all.

Yesterday I looked around at people who were like me in all skin colors and ages.  I loved the older White people, the middle aged Muslims in traditional Muslim attire, the young Black people, the Hispanics, the Asians, the Christians, the Jewish, the kids, the people in wheelchairs, etc.  They all made me feel good. 

Folks came from all over the United States to be with other people who are just like them.  Who believe as they do and, who wanted to show a different side of Americans in the media because we'd decided there was truly too dang many images of stoopit Americans out there making it seem as if they were the pulse of what the majority of us are feeling.

I had some of the best conversations yesterday than I've had in a long, long time.  Conversations with perfect strangers who were smiling, polite, smart and just fun as hell.

I had a good time man...a VERY good time.  It was a good feeling can you tell?

We can't let them paint our country in ways we would never, ever, EVER support.  We can't let them make it seem as if we are all out there supporting hate.  We gotta let folks know with our voices and our votes that we are serious when it comes to our future.

We're not all idiots and we don't all speak in talking points.

VOTE SANE ON TUESDAY FOLKS!

Thank you in advance!

Monica Mingo, American

 

Facebook Scenario

You post this article on Facebook:  The First Family's Forced Vacations

One of your FB friends responds with this comment:

I personally don't like the fact that his wife and children are vacationing in Spain when people in the country he manages are out of jobs and homes. I don't like the fact that he is vacationing at all. Probably won't vote for him again.

What would you say?

Who Dat?

The First Lady Went on Vacation

She was gone for a week to Spain with her daughter, Sasha and a few friends (who paid their own hotel, etc.).

The cost of the Secret Service for such a trip was about $250,000.

The Secret Service protects the first family EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

Critics are saying that this shows the Obamas are out of touch with the reality of the economy.

Do you think she shouldn't go on vacations during this time?

Or is this much ado about nuttin?

Happy Birthday President Obama!

Sorry we've aged you so much in a year and a half.  Thanks for all you're doing.

GIT.YO.ISH.AND.LEAVE.

Dear President Obama:

Me and you?  We good.

Love,

SIP

What say YOU?

Prayer in the White House

How do YOU feel about President Obama asking us to pray for the Gulf Coast?  Is it anti-intellectual and pandering?

CNN Outrage

A friend called me last night straight OUTRAGED at an article on CNN.com. 

Here is the article:   Why Obama doesn't dare become the 'angry black man'

This is the line that particularly infuriated her:

"Still, Obama must be careful about getting in touch with his inner-Samuel Jackson, others say."

I said nothing.  I couldn't offer her any source of feel good but I'm curious as to what YOU think about that article.

President Obama at White House Corespondent's Dinner

Dear Teabaggers: NOW YOU MAD?

You Get Mad?

“We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!?
You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.
You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.
Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you,but helping other Americans…oh hell no.”

CaliGirl sent me this from The Bill Press Show.  LOVE.THIS!

Grade Your President

Okay...it's been a while since WE graded him.  What say you?  How's he doing in YOUR opinion?

HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS!

 
YES, YES, YES!  FINALLY SOME REAL CHANGE HAS COME!

They vote for war and win...NOW...they voted for healing and...YES.WE.CAN!  YES.WE.DID! 

I'd like to thank Rep. Chris Van Hollen, our representative in Congress, for doing THE.RIGHT.THING!

All Americans who are constituents of the Republicans...I hope you see your way clear regarding your continued support of them.

A great, big, huge thank you to everyone who worked so hard to get this bill passed with special gratitude to our President, Mr. Barack Obama.  YOU.ROCK!

Now...I'm off to pack an overnight bag and call Two Men and a Truck.  Hell...I'm going help Rush Limbaugh pack! Who's riding shotgun?

Too Cute!

"We were supposed to be talking about insurance..."

On a more serious note...the summit yesterday has recharged my faith in the current administration. I'm back in fighting mode and in I love seeing things being DEALT.WITH. What did YOU think? Did you watch any? Did you read anything? Heard any news?

Of COURSE there is an ad.  Just look away for the first 22 seconds. What do you think about the interview? What grade would you give our First Lady so far? Anything you'd like her to do more of? Less of?

Madame Obama's State of the Union Fit: HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

Yall know I was kinda hot the night of the speech so I wasn't really looking at fashion and whatnot...but whatchall thought of this fit?

Live Blogging the President's State of the Union Address...

It's no secret I'm unhappy with the way things are going in the land of politiking right now so I'm going to need the President to quell my fears something serious.  I don't feel good about a lot of stuff and I think they have some SERIOUS 'splainin to do to all of us who supported his candidacy built on CHANGE.  I ain't seen ish change.  Just MUCH more of the same reckless spending.  Sure...it's not all on war...but it's spending NONE.THE.LESS.

I'm not happy. 

I ain't no political expert nor am a pundit.  I'm an American with a blog who has good damn sense and understands that ish just ain't right right now and I need them to GET it right.  Yeah it's only been a year.  But the year is 1/4th of the way.  The way they are messing around 2010 elections are gonna be straight landslide Republican and the Republicans haven't given me ANY indication that they want anything other than corporate "governance" and we all know where that got us before. Deregulation anyone?

All this skinning and grinning?  I don't know what it's for.  They need to be much more solemn indeed.  Madame Obama has got it right. She's straight just clapping.  None of those smiles and fakeness.  This is serious business folx.  SERIOUS.BIZNESS.

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

What grade would you give President Obama and his administration so far?
