Yes, lots of feel-good feelings, as Jill Biden said “the magic” of that election night in Chicago. It’s been a long time since we had those thoughts.

Obama will go down in history as a great man, a great President.

While listening, I whispered to my dh that I had a lump in my throat. True.

And Michelle, yes, yes, "she's fine" and greatly missed.
