WTF happened to Sasha?!?!?

I guess I still think of her as the way she was during the 2008 election. Sheesh.

[Amonester]

22. You can see it in their eyes how proud of her they are!

And how much they LOVE her!

[lovemydog]

23. Wonderful family

I love them!

[mimi85]

24. I am so proud

to be a Democrat. Every speaker was good, especially FLOTUS. And when the camera panned around to show the crowd, it was so gratifying to see the diversity. What an awesome opening night! Especially compared to the GOP - hell, no one seemed to even mention Rmoney's name. Except Ann and she doesn't count. I'm exhausted from smiling and clapping so much! Damn, it feels good to know I'm on the "right" side!

25. Great photo & a wonderful speech!

[mountain grammy]

but not like the one I grew up in, or President Obama either. That's what makes him special, he's us.

OMG. Everything is making me tear up tonight...once Michele got the waterworks going!
