I was streaming the election coverage on my computer in my office at work and I started to cry when I heard the newsman announce "There will be children in the White House again". I was so happy I got up from my desk and danced! I am overwhelmed with a sense of relief and hope!

She is only 23, so to her of course we would elect an African American, this is AMERICA, Mom!<BR/>Since I have very clear memories of the Civil Right Movement of the 60's, I can recall quite vividly when it wasn't so, so I am grateful that we have all come so far. And now we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

I concur with every word! I'm a 62 year old grandma of 6 in the midwest and I've been crying tears of joy ever since it was announced that Obama is indeed our President-Elect. I attended my first ever political rally last Saturday night and heard him speak in person and came away even more hopeful for our country.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your post today!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944668643752070291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-393564995314612982008-11-05T12:42:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:42:00.000-05:00Oh I'm so happy to read that I'm not the o...Oh I'm so happy to read that I'm not the only one having the problem with tears over this! My boyfriend was teasing me until he finally welled up at 11 & thanked me for sending his voter reg. off (from a recent apt move). Really great, exciting times. Makes me feel proud & ready to take on some of the pain that always comes with growth & change. Just so hopeful!*** <BR/>I'll bet that Michelle will go with Maria Pinto to keep it local but I'd love to see her in any of the top designers as she carries herself so beautifully, I think.elberethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554976226353461033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-16949814266349566512008-11-05T12:30:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:30:00.000-05:00As for designers, though I love Oscar, I don' thin...As for designers, though I love Oscar, I don' think he'll be suitable for Michelle. I see her in something sleek and feminine without a lot of geegaws and doodads. maybe Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Donna Karan. Even Isaac Mizrahi. But perhaps Maria Pinto has already designed something.Auset's Stitched Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924962703801889913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-87845029153923066992008-11-05T11:38:00.000-05:002008-11-05T11:38:00.000-05:00As an European it was not "my" election, but I ass...As an European it was not "my" election, but I assure you that it is felt here quite the same. We looked television till late with all the pictures from long lines at the polling stations and people being so happy to vote. It's a historical day, at which the alarmclock was set at 5 am in our house to hear whether the predictions of the outcome were right. It somehow feels the world has become a bit different with this choice for the new American president. I personally hope he has more insight in world matters than the current president.Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-55682273243543049232008-11-05T10:25:00.000-05:002008-11-05T10:25:00.000-05:00Trena, I couldn't agree more.Today was the first d...Trena, I couldn't agree more.<BR/><BR/>Today was the first day in my entire life that I'm actually proud to say I'm an American.<BR/><BR/>And I can't wait to see The Daily Show's coverage tonight (we get it rebroadcast here a day late!)!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-31995834851787273122008-11-05T10:09:00.000-05:002008-11-05T10:09:00.000-05:00I couldn't have said it better.
