Posting to state my strong support of Pres. Obama!

[FrenchieCat]

I haven't posted in a long time.....

But I just want to say that I do lurk, and I do very much appreciate this BOG forum!

I don't watch news any longer at all.....but fortunately, I don't think I'm missing much!

I pray that BOG(gers) are doing as well as I am!

[elleng]

1. FRENCHIE!!!

Great to hear that you're doing well!!!'

[FrenchieCat]

2. Hya, elleng! How are you?

[elleng]

4. GOOD! EXCITED to see you!

Lemme show you a couple of things!

FIRST, me and my 1 week old grandson!



daughter and Johnny V (They live about 30 miles from me.)



cottage in southern MD where I live

[FrenchieCat]

5. Oh my.....you've been busy! Such cuties! Congrats!

I also recently became a grandmother! But my Grandson doesn't live near me!

Grandchildren are simply the best type of children there are! Even better than Children!

You have two of them...so you are twice blessed and spoiled!

[elleng]

10. Yes, busy!

Other stuff intervened, but good to have them. Happy you have a grand!

[FrenchieCat]

11. Oh....and here.....

Me and my grandson Desi back in March (in St. Louis)! He turned 1 year old June 7th.....
Love him to pieces!

[elleng]

13. Hi, you 2!

Sweet!

[classof56]

58. Oh, what a handsome guy and beautiful grandmother!

My youngest grandson just turned 17. Soak up those baby loves whilst you may!

[FrenchieCat]

61. Your youngest Gs is 17? Makes you a pro.....me; just a beginner...

And yes.....time flies....for certain!

(thank you for the compliments!)

[FrenchieCat]

31. oh my! That pic of where you live!!!!

Super Fab!

[elleng]

32. It really is, Frenchie!

Will send you a pm, to tell you about it, and what's happened since the last time we were in touch.

[IrishAyes]

39. Too lovely for words.

[elleng]

43. Really is, Irish!

Can't believe it, EVERY DAY!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Wonderful to see you, Frenchie!

[FrenchieCat]

7. Nice to see you too!

Missed you!

[sheshe2]

6. We're doing good, FrenchieCat!

Indeed we are~





I don't really know you, however here's a BOG

[FrenchieCat]

8. Nice!

[IrishAyes]

42. My caption for the last picture:

"Up yours, Cheeto."

Of course he wouldn't say that. Not aloud.

[sheshe2]

44. Oh My!

[Kath1]

9. Thank you, FrenchieCat!

I'm a strong supporter of President Obama, as well! Despite what the corporate media would have you believe, there are a lot of us out here that LOVE and SUPPORT this President for what he is doing. I believe in all those crazy ideas like peace, economic fairness, the rich paying their fair share, marriage equality, racial equality, women making their own reproductive choices, etc., etc, etc. President Obama has been EXCELLENT on these issues, IMO.

Thanks for your support of the President! Lets keep moving forward with the hope and change we all support and voted for!

PEACE!

[FrenchieCat]

12. Here Hear!

[Kath1]

15. You should post more often!

This is an informed, really nice and fun group here! When I want sanity and reason, I come here to BOG.

It is great to have a forum of people who actually appreciate the job President Obama is doing!

[FrenchieCat]

17. I did that for a long time Kath1.....

I have like 67,000+ posts, and many of those was in reference to our President....over time!

But well, I got super busy with my businesses, (which was the excuse I perhaps needed)
as I had gotten turned off of DU......where I started feeling that my presence here was maybe counterproductive, as too many folks that I was debating with started making things too personal for my taste!

[Kath1]

18. I understand that.

Still, good to see you and thank you for your support of the President!

BTW, beatiful photo of your grandchild.

Peace and love always and above all,

Kath

[FrenchieCat]

20. And to you as well.....

I'm just so proud that my Grandson was born in the "era of Obama".....!

[Kath1]

24. Good for you!

Peace and love....

[sheshe2]

14. Me too Kath!

http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/morning-gif-president-obama-skateboarding/

[Kath1]

16. Hey, she!

All of our "crazy ideas" are becoming reality, slowly but surely, with Obama in the White House. And this is a beautiful thing!

[sheshe2]

19. And that gives the GOP a sad... :(

poor babies.

LOL! We are moving forward one step at a time, Kath!

[Kath1]

23. Poor babies!

LOL! I love it! I feel so sorry for them....NOT!!!

We are indeed moving FORWARD!

[LyndaG]

21. Hi Frenchie!

You've been missed.

Love all the photos posted!

[FrenchieCat]

25. Thank you LyndaG! I missed being here......

But homestly, I think it was best for me and my family at the time that I retire from so much politics .......

[babylonsister]

22. You don't watch news?

I do; same as it ever was. But good for you!

And I had no doubt about your allegiance!

and !

[FrenchieCat]

26. Well, you have kept me updated somewhat over at FB!

Thank you for that!

[kaiden]

27. Frenchie!

I, too, have been lurking for years. Glad you are back!

[FrenchieCat]

29. Hi there fella Lurker!

I'm not necessarily "back" in any real sense.......just wanted folks to know i'm still breathing!

I've been donating to various causes all along, and will step that up ($$$) starting this month on........

[DonCoquixote]

28. welcome back

I remember when you and I held many a fort...I look forward to doing so again!

[FrenchieCat]

30. Hi there DonCoquixote!

Yes....I certainly remember you fondly!

[BeyondGeography]

33. He has endured...Cantor's out of a job, and soon Mitch will be, too

Cheers, Frenchie.

[FrenchieCat]

34. I did love the Gone Cantor bit!

since he was such a cocky know-nothing!

Nice touching base with you, BeyondGeorgraphy!

[IrishAyes]

45. That picture:

Could anyone else in the world be aware that he's smarter than most people and yet be so good about it? That's one of my favorite things about President Obama - supremely confident but not smug, regardless of what the Repukes say. I'm just glad he's on our side!

[BeyondGeography]

65. He's an adult, and it's such a relief

One doesn't have to worry about him, and not because he's dull. I have always been totally down with No Drama. This job/world/life doesn't need any extra crazy. As Frenchie says below, he will be missed when it's time for him to go. I don't expect to see his kind again in my lifetime.

[IrishAyes]

95. Next, down with the entire rotten GOP!

I'll have to get out a magnifying glass and examine that picture to see if there might be a tiny bit of canary feather in at least one corner of his mouth. As intelligent observers have remarked lately, the GOP has succeeded in putting President Obama exactly where he wants to be.

Quothe Joe Biden: "NEVER play chess with that man."

[madamesilverspurs]

35. Delighted to see you here!

Haven't mentioned it on FB, but we're getting a much better class of miscreants here in the underside of the bus...

And I'd love to step back for a while, but just found out that one of our LOCAL candidate's opponent is flaunting a big endorsement from none other than Ted Nugent. This could actually get fun!

Sneak in more often, wouldja?

[FrenchieCat]

40. Will do madamesilverspurs!

That's the advantage I have in living in deep Blue Northern California......
I used to have to drive at least 40 miles east to canvas for Democrats who
were having a close race! So it was kinda of easy for me to step back.....
cause it was an addiction!

[madamesilverspurs]

55. Northern California is a delightful state of mind!

Back in the 1960s I got to live in Mountain View for a brief while, before returning to the L.A. area. Then in the late '70s I was in Eureka, returning there often to visit parents until they relocated north to Washington. With all that, there really is no vibe like a SF vibe.

[IrishAyes]

96. SF is the Holy City to me.

A place where dreams come true, and you can be happy even if they don't.

[Iliyah]

36. K & R

this is refreshing.

[FrenchieCat]

41. Hello!

[jwirr]

37. Great to see you Frenchie. Delighted to know you are doing well.

[FrenchieCat]

46. Nice seeing you jwirr!

And yes.....I'm better than ever!

[IrishAyes]

38. Thank you. You're always welcome.

It's hard for me to listen to the news channels too; I find it easier to manage online where at least there's no sound and I can avoid the RWNJ crap.

President Obama is doing such an outstanding job, isn't he? Truly the man for the hour.

[FrenchieCat]

47. He will be greatly missed when he is no longer President......

That's for sure!

We just have to make certain that sane folks are writing the history of these times.....instead of the dumbasses who know jack-shit!

[IrishAyes]

52. After 2016, we need JUSTICE Barack Hussein Obama.

Wouldn't it be terrific if he were Chief Justice?

[FrenchieCat]

59. He would do very well at it....for sure!

[Iliyah]

48. He's here in Los Angeles

and traffic is up side down in West LA. Majority are ok with it, which makes me smile. Of course you will hear otherwise. Many love Pres O and his family here and hopefully he and his family will buy a home -

[FrenchieCat]

49. So he is in the general area......?

I'm in Northern Cal (SF/Bay Area).......

[jaysunb]

57. Here :)

[URL=/][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[FrenchieCat]

64. That's your ticket?

Very cool!

[jaysunb]

50. Hey Frenchie !!!!

[FrenchieCat]

51. Hey Handsome!

!

Missed you!

[jaysunb]

54. I repeat....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. Good to see you again!

[FrenchieCat]

62. Hya.....The Vellveteen Ocelot!

Hope all is well!

[classof56]

56. K and a great big R.

Thanks, FrenchieCat. I too support our President and am grateful for the BOG forum.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

60. Hey girl! So great to hear from you. Congrats on becoming a grandmother!

I support the president 100%!

(BTW, You ain't missing much here, either. Had to take a break from this place, too!)

[FrenchieCat]

63. Hey there my girl!

[applegrove]

66. You‘re a blast from the past.

[FrenchieCat]

67. Yep applegrove...

C'esr moi!

[Tarheel_Dem]

68. Frenchie, my dear, it's great to hear from you.

[FrenchieCat]

69. Hey there Tharheel!

I certainly have missed you my dear!

[freshwest]

70. Hello, Dear FrenchieCat!

[FrenchieCat]

71. well, well, well!

And how are you doing? So nice to be able to say hello to you! Love the picture!

[freshwest]

73. LOL! Glad you enjoyed the pic!

[Major Hogwash]

72. Great timing.

It's been one of those days/weeks/months, hasn't it?



Here's to you and better times

[FrenchieCat]

76. Hello Major Hogwash......

One of my favorites!

[Surya Gayatri]

74. Quel plaisir de voir ton nom d'écran de retour sur DU !

Il faut venir nous rendre visite plus souvent !

[FrenchieCat]

75. Merci mille fois pour ça!

Ça me fait grand plaisir de venir dir un petit bonjour a mes amis ici, au BOG!

[ann---]

77. I will support him

when he does something about the carnage in Gaza besides lip service to Bibi Yahoo's "self-defense lie.

[FrenchieCat]

78. What do you propose?

[Hekate]

82. Welcome to the BOG, ann. You kind of stumbled into a reunion party here...

...and it is the Barack Obama Group, so just for the moment you might want to take your query out to the GD.

Alternatively, you could stick around and get to know us.

[steve2470]

87. Welcome to the BOG, ann---

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1102

You might want to read the SOP there and be advised. GD is usually the place for your query.

[Hekate]

79. FRENCHIE!

I'm so glad I checked into the BOG. I have been sooooo bummed at DU lately, especially today. Nice to see an old friend.

Now I'll settle down and read the thread.

Hekate

[FrenchieCat]

80. Hekate!!!

Wattup??? Missed you! Feels nice to check in but sounds like DU is still the same-ol' same-ol', hey?

[Hekate]

81. Ehhhh, some of this, some of that, lol

I've withdrawn from political activities, and I really should take a long vacation from DU.... My IRL friends keep me from feeling too low; haven't seen my 2 grandsons in too long, but a lot of that is the sheer fatigue I've felt for the past several months.

I have many blessings, but I think sometimes the tiredness-for-no-reason keeps me from remembering to count them. One of them though is how all the best people show up here in the BOG.

And yes, DU is having one of its periodic relapses into lunacy. I keep wanting to write, Who ARE these people? but that would probably be a bad thing.

Thanks for the news and all the pix.

[IrishAyes]

94. I've always found a little shin kicking makes my day go better.

[WinstonSmith4740]

83. Right there with you!

I fully understand this:

I don't watch news any longer at all.....but fortunately, I don't think I'm missing much!

If you don't already, turn on Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. His show is truly one of the most informative, and he's funny as hell.

[FrenchieCat]

85. Oh yes.....

I do watch that, but of course it's better than the news..... In the sense that it's much more informative!

[treestar]

84. Hi!

We have missed you!

[FrenchieCat]

86. Hya treestar!!!

I hope that all is well with you. Nice hearing from you. Miss you too!

[Skidmore]

89. So good to see you on the board, my friend.

You have been missed here. Please check in more often. Take care, and be well.

[FrenchieCat]

90. Thank you Skidmore!

Nice to see ya, and I certainly will pop on more often......

[Cha]

91. Mahalo, Frenchie, for your valued contribution to the BOG.

[Major Hogwash]

92. I'll second that.

And I would like to add, as to your valued contribution to the BOG . . . there wouldn't be one worth reading anymore without you, and sheshe2, Freshwest, IrishAyes, babylonsistah, and all of the other regulars that post here weekly, if not daily.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night during the week, I come here to reenergize my political batteries.
In order to "keep my eyes on the prize".
It isn't easy when so many others are being negative, critical, or dishonest about the situations we find ourselves engaged in these days.
But then, it has never been easy.
It seems that there has been a tiny "October Surprise" almost every single month this year, when the media, or the Republicans have went after President Obama and the Democrats currently in Congress.

As far as I am concerned, most of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the American people who elected the "do nothing bums" from the Tea Party to seats in Congress.
We have to undo that damage this fall in the mid-term elections that are quickly coming right around the corner.

For the first time in Idaho in almost 20 years, the Democrats have a fair playing field, and an excellent chance to unseat the Republican Governor as the GOP state political machine has ground to a sudden stop over political infighting within their own state party, arguing about the difference between being an extreme conservative and being a crazy "over the top" extreme conservative.
The current Governor likes to pander to the crazy "over the top" extreme conservative sect that live in the state -- people who passed laws forcing the college campuses to allow for concealed carry of weapons over the objections of the colleges, law enforcement personnel, experts, and other people who were NOT allowed to testify at the fake hearing the whackadoos held in the state legislature this spring.

Hopefully, people in this state will come to their senses in time to oust the Governor, who seems to like all of the chaos he has caused these last 4 years, and who actively supported political nonsense like allowing an unemployed, crazy racist biker to be included in their GOP debates for Governor.
I guess the Governor thought he looked more rational standing next to that whackjob, but that won't work when it comes time to defend his record in office when he is standing next to the Democratic candidate this fall in their debate.

The end of the political nonsense has to start somewhere, and I think Idaho is ripe to be the state where it gets started.
We need to set the trend towards moving back to having a rational government, not one ruled by the NRA lobby, or one that ruins the school system and trashes the budgets of the meager welfare programs that are under the state's control, and then turns around and rewards corporations by reducing their income tax burdens while not creating jobs.

I mean, if giving all of that tax money back to those corporations would have resulted in the creation of jobs, every single man, woman, and child in the state would have 2 high-paying full-time jobs by now!
Instead of the reality, which is all of those shareholders simply pocketing their windfall from rising profits these last few years.
As unemployment in the state continues to fall, the current Governor is very vocal to take the credit . . . yet the large majority of those new jobs are just minimum wage jobs that only require low skill sets.

[IrishAyes]

93. Thanks for your encouragement. Don't be a stranger.

I don't check in every day as formerly, so I wind up bingeing when I do.

[DCBob]

97. missing your posts!

Cheers!

[NYC_SKP]

98. FrenchieCat! Wow!

How fun to hear from you!

Glad you're well!

[steve2470]

99. Welcome back, and hope you're doing well ! :) nt
