I Just Cried Watching Obama drop off at Union Station, Taking Pictures, Gettimg into the New Limo
White, Black, Asian, and everyone else. They gathered, The President Elect, The Vice President Elect, The Train Workers and the Security Personell.

10 Hours. They Made it. Quick Photo Gatherings.

And in the end as Obama stepped into the Limo to ride to Blair House two older white Gentleman turned towards each and did a High-Five handclap.

Made me tear up.

3. I saw that
One guy had what looked like press credentials arounmd his neck and the other one looked like he worked at Union Station.

I can't believe the time is finally here! Our long, national nightmare is almost finally over. :woohoo:

7. I cry whenever it hits me this is really happening
I cried watching the clip of Joe the Biden saying his last words in the Senate. I cry when I look at Michelle and the girls. I cry when I see Barack speak or interact with the crowd. I'm going to be a blabbering ball of tear from now until after Tuesday...and probably beyond.

5. Man, watching this on MSNBC is making me cry.
Everyone of them is letting loose, Schuster is a blast, the crowd is fabulous as usual, Mathews is kinda funny with his panel, The Obama's are home, and even Chucky T is great tonight. No one can escape the greatness of this moment.

10. That part earlier where Matthews...
accidentally called Michelle Bernard "Michelle Obama" was hilarious. The panel asked him if he meant Bernard. He goes, "What did I say?" They answered Obama. And then the camera shows Matthews looking ULTRA sheepish. He looked like a doofus. Totally hilarious.

6. I loved seeing Obama's step-mother next to Michelle on the train. She
looked so happy to be with them. I think she had on a green suit. Lovely looking woman.

12. Stepmom? I didn't know he had one.
I know he does have a mother in law but I was thinking about her and wondering where Mrs.Robinson was. I am sure she is proud of her daughter and son=in-law this moment. I bet she has so many emotions going through her mind right now: her daughter and son-in-law are the First Couple of the United States of America.

22. That would be Obama's grandfather's second wife, Sarah Obama, no?
I don't think Obama hangs out with his father's wives......and his mother has passed.

Everyone is so damn happy that he is going to be the President, for so many, many reasons.

13. Fineman said the people on the train called Obama PEBO,
(President-Elect Barack Obama). He said it was light and happy on the train. I think that's so cute, PEBO. LOL!

I've been crying, laughing, crying, yelling...all day.

Oh, Happy Day!

I'm affixed to inauguration coverage - for the past several hours! This is a moment in history that I've been waiting my entire life for - I guess it's OK :o)
