We shouldn't have come as close as we did to that scenario. I still have pages open on my phone's browser to stories about how surprised Mitt and Ann were on Election Night because they remind me 1) bwahahahahaha! and 2) how there were many people, terrible at polling but otherwise sane, who really thought that the Romneys would be up on that platform today.

I have been so happy all day to see our beautiful First Family and all the adoring crowds. I am so proud of them.
