I think this is a pretty good way to close out our Friday. Don't you?
I will never understand how people simply can't see the inherent goodness in this man. It shows in everything he does that his very soul is about lightness, love, humility and humanity at it's very best.
Do I like all of his policies and how things are very different than what I wanted them to be? No. Not at all. But I have never once questioned that the person that IS President Obama is just about the most decent human being we could ever hope to have in the White House.
This video had me smiling and tearing up just a little bit.
Jon Huntsman's 3 daughters have a great sense of humor. Here is link to a post which includes the video of their spoof of the Cain smoking/smile ad!! Hilarious!
"They also seem to take special pleasure in needling the clean-cut, well-starched Romney camp. On October 11, for example, they tweeted at Romney’s son Tagg: “Want to tailgate for the next debate? Vegas wild. We’ll bring the godfathers, you bring the diet coke.” Then they added, “Mormon tabernacle choir can DJ.”
Awwww....DAYUM Gryphen...why are you fucking with these crazy ass trolls! You know that this is going to send the bad wig wearing, crusty toe, mannish face, talon for hands QUITTER ex gov and her henchwomen...*looking hard at April/Bristol/Willow...trolls into a comment frenzy of epic proportions(look it up)! They probably won't go to sleep tonight...poor Tripp, Trig and Tristan...no grub for them tonight!
And yes...it is a wonderful way to end the week. President Obama is done playing with these Satan worshipping Republicans and I see he's getting ready to make an end run on these mother *SHUT YOUR MOUTH*...Uh...republicans!
Clearly, the people of Ireland know a great man when they see one.
P.S. I love him too. I've never been so proud as an American to call this man Mr. President...and I've seen A LOT of presidents in my time. How can anyone of a pure heart not love him? But that is the key, isn't it?
Thank you, Gryphen! I smiled ear-to-ear through the whole video. I've always loved that song. It was the perfect song for the video, and for today.
President Obama is an exceptional husband, father and friend. He's a great President. He'll be an exceptional President in his second term if we vote in those who care less about what they want than what the citizens actually need.
7:03 - I just finished watching the first video. What struck me most was the "Welcome Home Barack Obama" signs. I recall the same signs when President and First Lady Obama went to Kenya, and were considered "proof" that Obama wasn't born in the U.S. (Funny there were never any "O'Bama was born in Ireland" accusations.)
Now I get it. President Obama is considered a citizen of the world. This is why he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
"While Christine O'Donnell or Sarah Palin costumes are usually good enough to cover half of the adult nation, no one remembers who either of those people are anymore, and the politicians that people do remember are just too sad"
Nice. When we focus on what is right about our current politics--we elected this smart, strong, funny, elegant, kind, generous man, who builds instead of destroys, I don't even miss old whats her name-- that screechy woman who spent so much time spewing and spreading hate and tearing down people.
This man is truly a rare being. He inspires all of the good, positive and uplifting ideas that life has, setting the soul on fire.
It isn't hate he preaches, it's tolerance. It isn't fear he fosters, it's courage. It isn't divisiveness he courts, it's 'we're all in this together'.
I feel deeply blessed to have witnessed his leadership and his calm, intelligent humor, dignity, parenting, fathering...he is such a phenomenal role model for our young people and for us old people too.
My heart just bubbles up with appreciation for him whenever I see him/hear him and watch how people of all ages respond to him.
I feel so sorry for the many people who will do that 3 monkey thing and not allow anything GOOD to come into their thick skulls, concerning this excellent President.
My family and their Southern Baptist prejudice caused me to miss enjoying the first half of the Kennedy presidency (his being an evil CATHOLIC, and all) but thankfully enough talk of his genius and obvious love of the country, made me break out of the confines of my size small white sheet, and admire what little time was left with him.
All we can do, is hope that, for their sake, they too can break out of the racism mold, and see President Obama, for the great man he is.
I think the "Welcome Home to Ireland" might have been a reference to Pres Obama starting a speech on a previous visit to Ireland by claiming he was part of the O'Bama clan in Ireland.
Anon 6:22 - "I will never understand how people simply can't see the inherent goodness in this man. It shows in everything he does that his very soul is about lightness, love, humility and humanity at it's very best."
Therein lies the problem/challenge for the opposition! They DO see it, but cannot accept it from a Dem or a man of color and must do all they can to discredit him in any/every way.
Anon 9:29 - "It isn't hate he preaches, it's tolerance. It isn't fear he fosters, it's courage. It isn't divisiveness he courts, it's 'we're all in this together'."
Really nice, thanks for the boost! He is s-o-o-o- handsome and she is s-o-o-o beautiful! The whole family is happy, loving, and very close. We are lucky to have such a wonderful President and First Family!
Beautiful! I absolutely love President Obama and his gorgeous family. He seems so kind and caring, I will never understand why those on the far-right hate him so much. Disagree with him if you will, but why hate him personally? His goodness shines through.
Love that video. Everyone wanted to have a beer with Bush, but I think everyone would like a hug from President Obama. That says volumes about the kind of man he is.
I challenge the P-bots to post a similar video of their Queen. Can you imagine how scary a true behind the scenes video of Granny Palin would be. She was scary enough on her scripted reality show. It would be perfect for Halloween with water boobs, hooker heels, fake butts, fake baby bumps, ratty hair, scary witch hands, catatonic stares, make-up smearing, red bull chugging, reloading, and lots of shreaking, snarling, blinking and lip licking....EWWWWWWW!
Yes.
ReplyDeleteHave I ever told you that I love your president.
Oh, Thank you! This brought a huge smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this wonderful video! I'm so proud of our President! I love that man!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh. Sarah Palin, eat your heart out. Not to make this about her, because it's not. For all her attacks, she can't touch him.
ReplyDeleteIt's so pleasingly obvious that the First Family loves each other very much. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this man so much. I wonder how anyone can not think he is the best?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Perfect, thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gryphen!! President Obama is definitely THE CURE!!!
ReplyDeleteBest. President. Ever. Let's make it a 2012 landslide!!! Happy Friday, everyone.
That made my week! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOh! That made me smile through tears...
ReplyDeleteThanks. I needed that.
ReplyDeletemmud
It is so wonderful to have such a compassionate and optimistic man for president. He's awesome.
ReplyDeletePerfect way to end the work week and to feel the love this gentle man conveys.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical difference from the Bush years when we were always on pins and needles and scared to voice our fears.
Thanks for the video!
That made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI feel better than I have all week . . . .
That was fantabulous!! How long before the Sarah video arrives to your blog to counter this?
ReplyDeleteI will never understand how people simply can't see the inherent goodness in this man. It shows in everything he does that his very soul is about lightness, love, humility and humanity at it's very best.

ReplyDeleteThe man generates lots of warm fuzzies wherever he goes.

Ha ha! You posted that just to yank on Philip's chain a bit, didn't you! ;-)
ReplyDeletePerfect. Thanks for that.
I love President Obama. And love to watch him with his family and with babies!
ReplyDeleteAwwww....DAYUM Gryphen...why are you fucking with these crazy ass trolls!

Irishgirl, thank you for saying that. Have you ever seen these:

ReplyDeletei'm so grateful for president obama and include him and his family every night of the world. thank you for that video
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gryphen! I smiled ear-to-ear through the whole video. I've always loved that song. It was the perfect song for the video, and for today.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama is an exceptional husband, father and friend. He's a great President. He'll be an exceptional President in his second term if we vote in those who care less about what they want than what the citizens actually need.
Yes We Will. Again.
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone not love and respect that man and his beautiful family?
ReplyDeleteObama 2012!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to start the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI loved this! Thanks Gryphen for a good week of news!

ReplyDeleteAnd I loved the song too.

Gryphen, you have to stop posting these... I am developing waaaaay too big a crush on B.O.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Thanks, G!
ReplyDeleteThe first comment warms my heart greatly; thanks Irishgirl.

ReplyDeleteMan! I love our president. I really do!
ReplyDeleteI do indeed think this is a good way to close out a Friday. I've linked to you on my Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this guy!

I love this and I love our President. Thanks for this video.
ReplyDeleteIf this does not make you smile then you you have a cold heart.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed it.......Thank You :)
Someday President Obama and Mrs. Obama will make wonderful grandparents.
ReplyDeleteSarah, that's when their daughters are finished with college and are married.
Not while they are juniors in high school.
I feel so sorry for the many people who will do that 3 monkey thing and not allow anything GOOD to come into their thick skulls, concerning this excellent President.

Same here..same here. Simply love the man! Obama 2012!!!
-Ardiva
Absolutely love the guy and his family!!! Thank God he is the one leading our country!
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how horribly the majority of the Republican paint him - it just makes me sick that they have little respect for him.
He is so, so much better than they are in thought, word and deed. Plus, he leads far better too!!
I'm so proud to call this man our President. Pure class, intelligence and a huge heart. AND, he can shoot hoops and dance well!!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust imagine what he could have gotten done so far if he didn't have to constantly fight the obstruction from the right.
Just a beautiful video, thanks Gryphen
ReplyDeleteA man who genuinely loves and respects his wife. I love the chemistry between them.
ReplyDeleteI think the "Welcome Home to Ireland" might have been a reference to Pres Obama starting a speech on a previous visit to Ireland by claiming he was part of the O'Bama clan in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gryphen! Perfect!

So true! Imagine how scary that is to the right.
When the American voter elected this man to be President, the rest of the world breathed a sigh of relief and applauded their good sense.
ReplyDeleteThe idea that one of the clowns from the current crop of GOP candidates might replace him sends shivers down our spines.
Let's hope that sanity prevails and we see him at the helm for another term. The alternative is just too frightening to contemplate.
Great video!! What a terrific man he is, so naturally loveable. There is not one person on the other side of the aisle that can compare to him.
ReplyDelete@Anon at 7.03. Thanks for the links. You made me smile all over again.
ReplyDeleteI didn't count how many times the word "love" was used in the comments, but it was a lot! It speaks volumes about your president.
Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteI feel embarrassed sitting here crying over what a nice man we have as our President. But I value "nice" and I believe he has only good intentions.
No, palinbots, he is not a "savior" sent by god like your gal, but I'll take him!
Made me smile! If a decent, good person (with a great smile) could cure all our ills, we'd be fine. But he needs another four years, please!
ReplyDeleteTHAT grin!
ReplyDeleteTo 7:17,
ReplyDeletepeople have been calling Bristle's DWTS baby (the one that is supposedly with her in LA as her "godson") by the name of Tristan.
I'm honestly not sure if it started from a MeAgain tip...or if it was a joke about the T-names, but it seems the handle has sort of stuck.
ALSO? - Man, we better re-elect President Obama by a landslide, to prevent the stealing of another election.
Really nice, thanks for the boost! He is s-o-o-o- handsome and she is s-o-o-o beautiful! The whole family is happy, loving, and very close. We are lucky to have such a wonderful President and First Family!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Gryph.
Let you in on a little secret, whatever "it" is, That man has "it".
Reminds me of the scene in "When Harry Met Sally".... I'm that woman who says "I'll have what she's having" everytime you do these videos.
