<< I was referring to Jill and Michelle!.. >> Two really classy ladies - They will both add class to what will be a great Obama/Biden administration. It is truly a glorious bright new dawn in America.

I couldn't help but notice that Obama looked tired - as well he should be - last night. I wondered what thoughts were going through his mind last night at that moment... a young man a son of two cultures... a father he barely knew, a mother, a beloved grandmother, no one from his childhood able to share that moment. I remember the days after my parents passed away.. despite being an adult and married... the links with my past were severed - I felt, in a sense, like an orphan. Perhaps he had similar emotions. Despite 50 million votes, before thousands of cheering supporters, the world watching, the hopes and dreams of millions on his shoulders, he is assuming what is a ultimately, the most lonely task in the world... only 4 living people on the planet have held that responsibility. But, I sense he's ready. As he told us, black and white, rich and poor, time and again over the past 20 months: "This is our time."
