It was a beautiful and tear-inducing moment. Actually, the whole speech was. I'm proud of this president and proud to be a Democrat.

(4,007 posts)most of President Obama's speech last night but fell asleep right at the end...not because it was boring but because, ya know, he is almost 90 and it was way past his bedtime!) Anyway, he got tears in his eyes watching it. Then we changed channels and it was replaying on another channel...and he teared up again. (Like Daughter, Like Father) My mom, who is also a good Democrat, but not quite as much of a political junkie, loves Obama and always is concerned that he is so thin. Maybe she is worried that the Republicans are stealing his food!! Last week during the GOP convention, my mother was upset because there were so many people there. Today I said "Do you see all the Democrats there? Feel better now?!" Of course, they are both absolutely horrified by Trump and cannot believe that people are actually going to vote for him. One more good one: Last week the rock group Queen put out a statement that they didn't want Trump using their song "We are the Champions". It came across the bottom of the screen on CNN "Queen angry with Trump using song." I had to explain to them that the Queen of England wasn't upset about the music Trump was using.

This is from when they made an appearance together last January. From Hillary's blog,
If you take a step back and look at all America has achieved over the past eight years, its remarkable to see how far weve come. ... As president, I will carry forward the Democratic record of achievement. Ill defend President Obamas accomplishments and build upon them. ...
Weve made tremendous progress over the past eight years. That shouldnt be dismissed or taken lightly. Lets keep that progress going. Lets make sure no one turns the clock back. Weve come too far. Weve accomplished too much. We can do even more for our families, our communities, and the country we love. And together, we can build an economy and a country that works for everyone. That would be truly revolutionary.
And as the ImmoralMinority blogger put it:
