Obama was there in spirit....the Wedding was wonderfully diverse...

It was wonderful. And wonderfully diverse...This preacher came from Charlottesville....he was animated and on fire and quoting MLK and John Lennon......followed by a black choir singing STAND BY ME.. Obama was there in spirit....not your usual reserved English wedding !! The Bride put her stamp on it and it was terrific.

Trump would have hated it....

But I did wake up in time to see the ride through Windsor, and of course there were clips of highlights.

I couldn't help thinking, as I was watching the ride, that 45 will be jealous. I think he really would want to have the pomp and circumstance if he was the center of attention. I'm always irritated to see him do that slow plod to the podium when he gives a speech. I know he's trying to look important, but to me he just looks slow. Lacking energy.

I sure do miss President Obama.
