You Are Losing It Dude

The whole reason I started this blog was to support you. You are making it really, really hard.

Putting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid on the line is simply not okay.

Your grassroots support will be circling the drain in no time --- if it isn't already --- it will be really hard to win in 2012 if no one goes to the polls.

Sasha and Malia Tell The Truth ...

They'll never be Republicans.

Sasha and Malia Make Their Own Beds

I bet the Republicans don't.

The Republicans Are Not Your Friends

They are not kids throwing rocks at you who you can ignore

They are not from Hawai`i

They are not peers on the Harvard Law Review

They are not pols in the Chicago legislature who pretend to go along to get along

They are not placaters

They are haters

They hate you

They hate anyone who is not them

Wish you were more like Harry Truman

And that you would give them Hell

They deserve it.

P.S. You can buy this T-shirt online. You need one.

Dinner Invitation Email

who do you think you are? Oprah?

Thank You, Mr. President

For dropping your defense of DOMA. Nice dodge on the it's the states job to decide, AND you were right to frame it as a civil rights issue. It is.

Thanks, too, for again reminding people of the values of your birthplace, your mother and your grandparents ... you were born that way -- in Hawai`i.

This Says It All!

Pat on the Back, Tongue-in-Cheek

The Only Time The Speaker Has Said "Yes!"

Did he really say "How can you say NO to the President?" Yes, he did. He says it all the time.

Take That!

Grocery Shopping with Michelle

My good friend Judy Kimball knows I love everything Obama, so she sent me this swell bag, featuring the First Lady of Fabulous.

Very cool, I know...

My New Coffee Cup

My new Barack Obama cup arrived yesterday, to replace the one my friend Brook gave me that my husband Mark broke.

Of course, Barack Obama didn't say "Happy Birthday to you Glow" on my birthday but the coffee cup says it everyday.

If You Want to Know Barack Obama

Read this book.

Michelle Obama says that if you want to understand the President, you need to understand Hawai`i. That's definitely true.

But you can get a window into his values (service to others, good listener,etc.) by reading
A Singular Woman, The Untold Story of Barack Obama's mother. Written by Janny Scott,
a former NY Times correspondent, it is very well researched and well written.

Ann Dunham was an amazing woman, just like her son is an amazing man.

Imua!

Cool Hand Luke

Cool Hand Luke couldn't match the cool of my hero and our President Barack Obama!

Saw his 60 minutes interview tonight and he was in control and on point. And that poker face masquerading as a poker smile at the Correspondent's dinner.

How can he not be re-elected? He's smart (brilliant), highly educated, cool as they come, and a real American to boot!

He's Still THE Man

I am back on the Imua Barack site because it's election time again, and I want to do anything I can to help.

He's steely, he's tough, he's funny, he's brilliant. He's Barack.

When I last wrote on this blog, Barack Obama had just been inaugurated and my language was still inspired by barackobamaismynewbicycle.com

You may remember that I was lucky enough to be a permanent substitute in his fifth grade class. I was new to Hawai`i and feeling all alone. I thought it must be worse for him because he was the only black kid in my class. Later, I found out he belonged here more than I did: he was black, and he was white. Hawai`i has a word for that: hapa. He's half and half. He's the face of the best of America.

Yesterday my husband broke my Barack Obama coffee cup: I am getting a new one. When it gets here I will take a picture and post it.

P.S. I am going back on my politicalglow blog as well but that is reserved for clotheslining the other side.
