Oh no~



Boggers, oh my. Am I reading GD right?



Some here are accusing us to be vast supporters of TPA and TPP. Seriously. Yup, I know we have not read the final document, no one here has. Hell we have not read the first one, only leaks. Yet Bog, we have been tried by jury and deemed guilty of supporting a final document we have not read. It is a draft yet, not a document, silly us!

Yet they speculate and speculate and speculate. Worst President ever. K~


So keep on keeping on ya' all~

BOG~



I love you all.

Ummmm. If anyone has a problem with my posting Audrey Hepburn's amazing gifs let me know before you alert. I know. Awful of me to feature a young thin beautiful women. I am sexist. Ha!

Lol~

Here ya go a kitty gif.

Changes. I do get upset when badgered about why I do not fall in line with their thinking and say it is all bad. Most of the answers I have seen in the past is NAFTA is bad and ergo TPP is automatically bad.

3. This President is not going to throw everything he has worked so hard for under the bus.

Equal rights for women and LGBT. ACA. My brothers keeper. Scotus. The environment. Taking us from the brink of financial collapse. Peace. So much more.

How could he bring us to a 360? I cannot believe he would sell us out. It is not happening.

If I am wrong. Then I will have lost everything I believe in. Everything. Yet I am not wrong.

I have grown very weary of the frequent posts slamming PBO, especially regarding a treaty that is not finalized. The arrogance of the "I am totally right and he is a liar" crowd is quite a turn-off for me.

4. This irrational unwarranted contempt for President Obama...

galls me most!

Every other president does trade deals this way, but not "this" president? It is the most progressive trade deals ever and fixes some of Obama's issues with NAFTA, and we hear (here, of all places on the web!) "He lies!"

I'm pissed and disgusted and deeply saddened.

It is all it has been for anything he has done from day one. Contempt.

Misguided hate for our first black President. Sorry. That is the way I see it.

You said~

Well yallerdawg. He is not like every other President. He is black.

Thank you so much for the video. It has been years since I have seen it.

Hugs to you~

I don't know if she smoked habitually in real life, or if it was just a film prop, but it was a little jarring...

I felt that way when I discovered that Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a heavy smoker because she thought it would help her stay thin. She was extraordinarily beautiful and elegant, but she must have smelled horrible...

Accompanied by photos of the lovely Audrey Hepburn. Young, thin and beautiful, yes, plus a great actress. Boy, could she light up the screen! Oh, and the pic of the cat in action started my day with a smile. You've done it again!

Hugs and blessings.

Thank you for posting! We all heard Obama speak passionately about this. He said Senator Warren was wrong about TPP! He didn't stutter. He was very clear. I love Sen. Warren .... but, there is no way I'm buying that Obama would sell out the "middle class" on this or any other issue.

"Legacy killer"?? .... I must say that I've been disappointed by some posts here on DU. Obama's "legacy" will be just fine in spite of attacks on the right AND the left!

I'm willing to trust Obama ... let's see what's in the final agreement ... then we can discuss who is right and who is wrong.

I agree with you about Obama, he is not going to sell out the middle class. As for Warren, she is my Senator, and sadly I feel she is being disingenuous on this topic.

Yes, his legacy will be just fine.
