Good for you, she.. there's so much Light to be basking in!

You know I always say.. Consider the source of those who have whined about the Barack Obama Group for however long it's been in existence. Now some of them are in the Bernie group blocking posters. See how that works. Who cares what hypocrites have to say about Anything?

Two years ago on this date~

I had a feeling Bernie felt this way.. Some of his supporters will not do one thing to change

their posting of rw sources against Hillary.. even though if it were a rw source against Bernie.. they would scream bloody fucking murder.

Mahalo Cali.. good find.

Actually, "They "handed a stinging rebuke" to mcconnell but don't let that stop all those who play

right into corpmedia's hands.

"Democrats on Capitol Hill say the agreement they reached the next day to move forward on the legislation extracted real concessions from Republican leadership."

"The White House named names. And not 24 hours later, President Barack Obama and his aides had a deal to get fast-track back on track."

snip// from the link..

"White House officials said the agreement that will now open debate on the trade package on Thursday only seems like a dramatic turnaround because Tuesday’s doom and gloom was overblown. The president’s trade agenda is moving again, on its way through the Senate and off to the much more problematic House. And the president has regained the momentum."

Not sure why this doesn't have lots of Recs.. oh wait..

it's not saying the President is "a liar".

In fact it's the opposite.. oh and the US corp media was all over saying the Dems were "snubbing Pres Obama" yesterday when they were really "snubbing" McConnell.. but they wanted Hair on Fire and so many were willing and ready to play. They got played.

Thanks still one

The vote yesterday was against McConnell not President.. but the corpmedia wanted their hair on fire.. and those who sucked it up made it about being against Obama. Thanks for playing

Mahalo littlewolf.. lucky peeps who will be around then to take advantage! Mahalo Obama and Hawaii

Kaheawa Wind Power, above the town of Maalaea in the West Maui Mountains, is one of the largest wind farms in Hawaii.

The U.S. government is making clean energy a priority. States from across the nation are taking steps toward energy efficiency, alternative energy programs and new policies that will help the country collectively meet the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan announced last June. And Hawaii is leading the way with a new bill that would require 100 percent of the state’s energy to come from renewable sources by 2045.

James Taylor says Obama is great; riding Hillary train

NEW YORK (AP) — Barack Obama supporter James Taylor doesn't just think the U.S. president is great — he believes Obama is the greatest of all-time.

"I've been watching politics since (Dwight) Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and Obama is my favorite, favorite president," Taylor said in an interview Wednesday. "I am just thankful for every day that he's in office. I am so proud that he represents my country and I think he represents me — I think he represents the America that I know."

"He promised to give us a health care system, it's a work in progress, but he has put us on a road to that," Taylor said. "I'm so grateful for what he's done for gay rights and for the emancipation of gay people. Particularly from my point of view, I think that was so overdue and so important, and so important for America to be ahead of the curve on this."

Taylor criticized Congress in Obama's defense.

"I've never seen a Congress that has been so obstructive and so contrary and so committed to doing anything that will foul up this administration. I just think it's an absolute scandal that he has had so little cooperation," he said. "So anyway, you hit a nerve and I'll go on forever. But I'll just say it a third time: Every day that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are in the White House is a day that I am thankful for."

Obama isn't the only politician Taylor is supporting: The singer said he's on the Hillary Rodham Clinton train, too.

"And aside from the fact that she's a woman running, she's the right person. ... The whole point — black or white, male or female, gay or straight, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist — it doesn't matter what these other connections are," he said. "Our country needs to come together and the question is, 'Is this public servant someone who will bring us together?' And I think she is."
