Nobody feels warm and nice, only nice and warm.

stevew said...

Very nice, sort of asks for an "awww" response.

Posting a nice sentiment, love note, whatever on social media always makes me suspicious; who are they talking to, really?

Achilles said...

Who spotlighted this?

Who is retweeting this?

This is important.

The solar MPPT tracker says I'm getting 4.27 watts out of my 15w solar panel, in full sun that's also reflecting off snow. The basement 12v battery is at 13.67v

Makes sun exciting.

Chris Lopes said...

Not an Obama fan, but yeah that deserves an "awww".

Howard said...

O'bozo lives in you people's heads rent in free just like Trump lives in progressives heads. Happy VD.

Dave Begley said...

Serious question. Why didn't the Obamas try to change the black culture of drugs, crime, out-of-wedlock births and lack of educational achievement? Was their stellar personal example enough?

Or are they racists too? Or can't anyone talk about this at all?

News flash. The reason more blacks are in jail is because they commit more crimes. Just this week in Omaha, some black kids were at home smoking pot and one accidently shot and killed the other. No charges. But what's up with that? Where were the parents?

Was this picture taken at their multi-million dollar house on Martha's Vineyard? The house that's going to get flooded by global warming?

Michael McNeil said...

Isn't that a little too white?

etbass said...

Happy Venereal Disease. Nice, Howard. Same to ya.

Achilles said...

No seriously Ann.

Is this the trial balloon?

Sure seems Buttigieg wants to be Michelle's VP.

Buttigieg is aimed squarely at Mike Pence. Covers all the same regional bases... Young. Pretty. Intersectional bases covered.

Just saying.

Ann Althouse said...

"Who spotlighted this? Who is retweeting this?"

What do you mean? You can see on the face of it that Michelle Obama tweeted it today.

Rocketeer said...

That's genuinely sweet...

So you are following her.

I was wondering if the NYT or New Yorker was putting up a puff piece as the first campaign trial balloon.

"For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like fun in the snow is for everyone”

Inga said...

The Obamas have always shown their love for one another.

pacwest said...

That's a nice picture of a dad and his two girls. Bottom line, we are all humans, and value our families above all else. His obvious love of his kids is something to admire about Barack Obama. Nothing to get all wee-wee'd up about.

Dave Begley said...

How does this guy live with himself?

He leaves a giant mess with Iran and gives it billions in which to kill Americans, Jews and build nuke bombs.

What a fucking overrated failure.

gspencer said...

"Mark Baum really said that. He really did"

AA really did that. She really included a picture of the worthless but wealthy Obamas who tried, and are continuing, to fundamentally change this country for the worse. If the purpose is to ruin Valentine's Day, she succeeded. She really did that.

Obama is a fucking overrated failure, but he did not leave a mess in Iran. The mess was created when Trump unilaterally walked away from the agreement Obama established with Iran.

Obama admitted he spied on his political opponents.

Obama admitted he conspired with foreign intelligence agencies to unseat an elected US president.

You are a piece of shit if you support him.

Dave Begley said...

Robert Cook: The agreement was designed to allow Iran to make nukes in the near future. It was never a serious agreement. And who could trust those lying carpet salesmen and then give them billions of dollars in advance?

And if Durham does his job, we will find out that Obama *ordered* Comey and Brennan to spy on the Trump campaign. We need to retroactively impeach Obama.

Nice photo.

"agreement"

Well, there's your problem.

We know he did this. Brennan and The other toad looking guy admitted it. Clapper? I forget.

Retroactive impeachment is not the punishment for treason.

Reciprocity works for me.

Do they actually commit more crimes or is it they get caught/prosecuted more often? Some would say there is no difference between the two statements, but it is an important distinction.

Every white guy I know who smokes pot has a story about how they were let go by the cops after getting caught with some. Never had a black or hispanic buddy share such a tale.

rhhardin @12:47 PM:

4.27 watts! That's enough to run your CW transmitter and your receiver at the same time!

Get on the stick, rhhardin. Maybe you can work Greenland.

MayBee said...

What year is that from? The girls look little.

readering said...

Happy Valentines Day Achilles!

(Keep that heel covered)

Practically every week in Omaha there is at least one shooting on the near North side of Omaha. Not the case with the other parts of town.

Iman said...

When one has nothing nice to say...

Ann Althouse said...

“ So you are following her.”

Yes.

stonethrower said...

A family caring for each other and having fun together. What's greater than that.

traditionalguy said...

Are they home on Kraph Glacier in Kenya?

Dave Begley said...

Iman:

Barack has received a total pass on his entire public career because he's black. First black president of Harvard L. Rev., second black Senator from Illinois and the historic first black president.

When it comes out that he ordered the FBI and CIA to spy on Trump, all that ends.

It's a snowy day in Hell.

Yes.

TY

Darrell said...

You don't know enough people, then. Back in the 1980s, in Chicago, after a couple Black co-workers fired up a joint right in front of a couple of cops and all of the Whites in the group freaked out, all the Blacks in our group said they do it all the time and never get hassled. The most that ever happened was for a cop to tell them to stomp it out. And that was only once or twice.

Le Stain du Poop said...

Digusting filthy racists. Hard pass.

MadisonMan said...

I find the displays of love on Valentine's Day -- he was the patron saint of many things, including fainting -- just a little too lookatme.

Freeman Hunt said...

Cute!

Inga said...

“Yes”

You are a piece of shit if you follow her! Just kidding, I’m channeling Achilles.

Drago said...

Achilles: "We know he did this. Brennan and The other toad looking guy admitted it. Clapper? I forget."

Yep. On CNN. Clapper said they were just following the directives of our national leadership.

Inga said...

Lots of Obama Derangement Syndrome on display today.

Bay Area Guy said...

Nice family photo, don't see a problem.

I am anxious to see if Drago's prediction of Michelle being drafted to save the disordered Dems at the convention. Can't wait till July!

Snowblowers of the world unite!

I’ll believe he’ll be held accountable when I see it, Dave Begley!

Dave Begley said...

Iman:

You may well be right. Hillary and Barack are immune. Hillary destroyed her emails when they were under subpoena. She should be in jail now.

Achilles said...

Inga said...

Inga is only capable of discussing with her own channeling abilities.

She has been wrong about everything over the last 4 years.

Her heroes are traitors.

Reality is painful for her.

"my loves"

Two out of three does justify the plural.

Milwaukie guy said...

I guess this is the open thread. Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone has a special someone to spoon with tonight.

I was discussing the Betelguese situation with my son this morning. Some astronomers think it will go super nova soon. I hope so. It will be spectacular. There is a video clip of what it would look like at https://earthsky.org/space/betelgeuse-dimming-late-2019-early-2020-supernova

We are thinking that:

1. What a great time for Jesus to come back. The 12th [Hidden] Mahdi, too. Then the Dalai Lama names that hot young lady successor he's talking about. Greta Thunberg joins the team as Joan of Arc, for the diversity.
2. ??????
3. World Peace

Milwaukie guy said...

Greta Thunberg represents secular leftist idiots worldwide in particular and white people generally. Jesus is a Jew whose followers created Christianity and He was a POC. Since the Hidden Mahdi hasn't appeared yet at all, unlike Jesus, and his followers are expecting a Persian Shi'a, wouldn't it be funny if He was a Sunni Arab [dog].

I don't know if the Dalai Lama has to pick another Tibetan Buddhist. I don't really care about that part, I just want her to be hot. Maybe she could be a lesbian.

readering said...

Nice piece today on Obama participating in All Star Weekend event for kids in Chicago.

M Jordan said...

Obama always seemed to me, if nothing else, cool. He knows cool inside and out. But this photo is just gay. Sorry, it just is. He must know that. So why does he do it? Why do something Hallmarky uncool? To please Michelle? The girls? I dunno ... maybe he’s not as cool as I always thought.

Crazy World said...

Poor Michele must be remembering all those years as First Lady her and her daughters would go off to the ski slopes on our dime while her husband went to Palm Desert, Hawaii, etc. Valentine’s Day through President’s Day (also on our dime). So odd!

Let's just say YMMV.

veni vidi vici said...

I think it's funny people care about that family and are apparently genuinely heart-warmed (or "heartwormed", even) by dross like this IG post.

Ask yourself your visceral reaction to a similarly schmaltzy post featuring W and his daughters (and grandchild/ren), or Meghan McCain puttering around or doing whatever it is she does, with Cindy whispering sweet nothings on the voiceover.

That's how ridiculous this is.
