Who else lost it when they saw Jessie Jackson crying?

[keith the dem]

I'm a middle aged suburban white guy, who was holding it together until they showed Mr. Jackson....I cried like a baby. I noticed that my 17 year old daughter was also crying.

Last night was some night.

1. Yeah, I thought he didn't even like Obama that much

[Caria]

6. He just got sandbagged by Faux

Like so many others, sadly.

Yes, I lost it too. I heard this morning that his son may be getting Obama's seat in the senate!

2. I was so happy to see Jesse Jackson moved to tears.

It's been a L O N G fight, Jesse.

Welcome home.

[dipsydoodle]

3. I was touched by that too.

4. me

I always cry when I see people crying though :blush: but especially last night!

[xultar]

5. I did bust his ass mugging it for the camera though the tears were genuine at first.

7. I was

already crying.
Hooray, it's over! How soon can we overturn everything Bush ever did?
Pack up, we are getting out of Iraq!!
America is back!!

8. Not only Jessie....

...everyone who had tears running down his/her cheeks got to me. We are all one...black, white, brown or whatever. We are all one!

:hi:

9. I did. The tears of Oprah, John Lewis and Rev. Jackson moved me last night.

Eugene Robinson's words were quite extraordinary as well.

Baby, we've come a long way last night. The work still needs to be done.

10. I thought that was touching

but my cynical wife said "He's just thinking to himself, 'Man I wish that could have been me. it should have been me, it should have been me.' "

14. Jesse paved the way for Obama...his tears got to me....even this am

just thinking about it and the last 40 years of my life...its been such a long hard road...in 1984, I was driving and had to pull over to listen to Jacksons speech at the democratic convention...I wept then..on the side of a country road...by myself...no one is perfect..but Jackson deserves a lot of credit for getting us here..to today..

11. My husband was very moved by Rev Jackson's tears. We all were crying,

It is a beautiful day in the world !

12. I was happy for him, but I did not actually lose it. nt

[City Lights]

13. Me.

Actually, I lost it every time they showed Grant Park.

[yeswecanandwedid]

15. I lost it as well.

I was laying in bed watching when they cut over to Jesse. It made me tear up. As a white guy, I have no idea how it must feel as an African American to see Obama win. I can only read the emotions from people like Jesse Jackson to gauge how profound this election was. I'm proud to be an American more than ever today. We are one of the greatest countries in the world. God bless all of us.

16. Definitely a moving moment in a day of incredible emotion.

What about that woman, the official at Spelman College? The interviewer from, think it was MSNBC, was trying to get a statement from her, and she kept trying but she was crying so hard she could barely speak. That one just grabbed me by the back of the throat.

17. I think he'll let President Obama keep his nuts now. :) n/t
