Bittersweet Tears In Charlotte, NC As Obama Makes His Case

[autumnwindwalker]

You can see in this video his mind is elsewhere.

And it's to be expected.

But he stepped up to the plate and carried on.

In answer to your question - he is BOTH. A very smart politician and also one of us. I encourage everyone to purchase Dreams Of My Father. It shows great insight into this great leader. God Bless you, Mr. President-elect.

God, it reminds me of when I was studying abroad at Oxford this past year; I received terrible news that my grandfather had passed. It's still hard to fight back tears of loss.

I feel for you Mr. President-elect, I feel the loss you have suffered. Knowing that the memory of those we love and hold dear that we have lost will not hinder us, no, it can only strengthen us. Think of her and honor her in everything you do in the White House. God bless.

He's never cried at all during the whole campaign on the trail, his tears are genuine. I'm from Hawaii, he is a good man and his family are lovely people.

This wonderful man makes me proud to be an American -- all over again. God bless Barack.

He must be so tired after 21 months campaigning. He must be so nervous for the election today. He must be so sad because his beloved grandmother died. And inpite of all these emotions he speeches like a real leader. He doesn't break but do the things he has to. You're a great man Barack Obama.
