President Barack Obama.

Three simple, beautiful words.

I can’t decide who I am in this photo; peaceful (Obama), warm and fuzzy (child), or ecstatic (Dad). Or all three. Yes, all three.

I have enjoyed this blog so much these past couple of weeks when friends, strangers, colleagues have said negative, downright mean things about Obama (and Biden). But this blog was my happy place when things got on my nerves or made me upset.

And that picture is definitely how I feel:) This is absolutely amazing.

That is EXACTLY how I feel.

Nearly everyone in our common room was crying.

Well, we can listen to Sen McCain, and unite. Unite under a African american President, or we can unite under our next President. Both, I think, wound be good.

If someone was crying then it’d be exactly how I feel. I’m so fucking happy.

Oh man, I wish I was that kid and I could just give PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA a huge hug and thank him for what he’s done (and is going to continue to do) for this country.

YES WE DID!!

I think today…I’d like to imagine people rolling through the streets with their windows blasting Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t you worry about a thing.”

Yes, we have work to do…but we earned this moment.

Yes we did!

I love our new president. These comments are great, thank you, America! Thank you Obama for putting it all out there, so we as a nation can move forward. Thank you Michelle, Sasha and Malia for sharing your huband/daddy with us all. We will ALL be better people because of him!
