4. Today has
probably been one of the hardest of his entire life. I'm sure in his heart he just wants to get to Michelle and the girls and hold them close. They say the presidency ages a person, looks like he gets a jump start on that side-effect. I admire him for being out there and and delivering when he is in such pain.

6. I'm sure it is weighing heavy on him that his Toot, didn't hold on to see him get to the Oval office
But she's here in spirit...she gave us a great man.

8. Exactly .... I have seen almost every rally he's given..... I see no saddness...
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 10:45 PM by Clio the Leo
... I see a man who's ready.


His heart is heavy, no doubt, but he is looking forward to tomorrow. And if I had to imply anything into his body language and his words, I think he's considering himself very fortunate that he is going through such a tough time surrounded by so much love.

I've seen him tired, but not tonight.

He is both fired up and ready to go.

And so am I!

12. DIY I hope you agree...
He needs to see his kickass family tonite. They are so wonderful and obviously give him strength. I saw the pics of him giving a rally with tears in his eyes and it broke my heart. So,I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I just think this guy has a strong, strong soul and will be okay. Too many people love him now for it not to be otherwise.

11. He got past the point where he talked about his grandma
This takes enormous strength to do this

It looks like a crowd around 120,000

13. When I lost my mom, it was hard as heck to hold it together and not
bawl every five minutes. I cannot even imagine going out on a stage and addressing tons of people feeling the way I did. :(
