I just LOVE this couple. Class, grace, warmth, brilliance.

She broke me just now!

I cannot believe how far we have come.

Barack wipe away a tear....
sniff.....

Anyone else see that?

But I'm sure if he listened to Michelle, that was a big reason why......

Crying too hard to see but I did notice him wipe a tear away.
Hubby always says why can't people see what a class act those two are.

She started me crying too; and then, their embrace was priceless. I love our President. This is a very touching moment in time.
Four more years, four more years, four more years!!!

What do you want on your tombstone?

That crap-tastic, dipshit, cocksucking fuckbasket lasted eight minutes! - 2 whole posts...

They don't even try anymore, do they?...

Because, just like toddlers, they realize they aren't going to get what they want tomorrow and they are going to throw temper tantrums tonight. Waah.

Unceremoniously given the boot!
My, you folks ROCK!!

They go hand in hand!

You know sentimental

1. Last rally of his own career (he'll campaign for other candidates in the future).
2. Iowa is the state that launched him to the Presidency. They both spent a lot of time working their asses off in Iowa when everyone said they had zero chance to win. They have a ton of respect and love for the people of Iowa.

I'm sure there's also a big emotional release after a campaign like this and knowing you have given it your all. He looked very stong throughout the speech though!

and how it all started. Knowing that this was his last campaign rally. The turnout for that event was 10x the size of most towns I've lived in (I mean 10x the population of most towns I live in.) Had to be overwhelming for him.

It's a once in a lifetime kind of experience and we get it for 8 years!

He's the best POTUS ever of the USA and he's going to show transform things starting now.

Truly.

Fired up,
Ready to go !!!
Fired up,
Ready to go, ready to go!!!

What an awesome speech!!!

It passed through my house.

And my children Will remember how supported I was of this GREAT President.

Those are two great people. And I loved hearing the fired up ready to go story one more time.

and just watching him with everyone in the crowd reaching for him. We are so fortunate to have him..

Anyone? I missed it.

Go to youtube and enter:
Obama
Iowa
Last campaign

That should do it.

the president brushed away a tear. I admit, I didn't see that, cause I was already overcome.

I was blubbering like a baby. My husband thinks I'm certifiable! Don't care, I'm ready to get this done! Chill that champagne!

His eyes welled up when Michelle spoke, and didn't stop until Barack finished his speech.

And I love them both.

Seeing Barack and Michele together always brings tears to my eyes. When they're gone will we ever see people of their caliber in the White House again?

We have been so blessed to have them in the White House.

As for tears, President Obama can usually bring both hubby and me to tears, you know? There must be something about having waited our whole lives for this moment, and for the circumstances (like the GOP swearing to obstruct his every move) to be so hard on Obama, and the way he seems to handle it with such grace.

We've been blessed. May it all go well tomorrow, for the country still needs him.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's class all the way.

You probably remember that I had my problems with this administration and know that I will be holding our President's feet to the fire again, come the second term, but I fell in love with the candidate Obama in 2008 and I now remember why - he and his family have a strong and true moral compass. It comes out with President Obama when he goes back to being candidate Obama.

I'm glad he is going to get a second term and I hope and pray that he chooses to create a greater legacy than that of being the first black President. He has the opportunity to be one of our greatest Presidents ever and to paraphrase MLK Jr., that will be because of the content of his soul, not the color of his skin. I want that for him and I want that for all of us. I truly believe he is so much better than he allowed himself to be in the first term. I also recognize that he was hamstrung by an actively hostile Congress. I am hoping that he gets a Congress that will work with him. I know I've donated much money and quite a bit of time to that hopeful possibility.

Now, First Lady Obama, she never compromised. She is a stalwart, strong, loving woman whose moral compass points due north, always. She takes my breath away. She always has. But then, she hasn't really had to swim in the cesspool that is American politics, much. But, even when she does, she swims with grace and strength and conviction.

And then, there are the children. You have only to look at Malia and Sasha to know that they have an amazing family (this includes their maternal grandmother, who is as uncompromisingly strong and moral as her daughter is).

So whatever problems I have had and may have in the future with our President, I promise to remember that as human beings, this family, including our President, is awe inspiring to me. May I be even half as true and solid and good as they are.
