Stupor Tuesday is saying a lot.
My normally conservative Polish Godmother (in her 80's) told me she watched the inauguration. She said when she saw the elderly black women with memories of oppression crying, she broke down and cried also. Some things transcend ideology. 
my Dad didn't live to see him elected. He would have been very proud. Although we are white my Dad was a Union steward for 30 years. He loved helping the underdog. He was one of only a few white men who ALWAYS walked the parade on MLKs birthday and went to the services in the black churches.... Boy, he sure loved it! He would come home and just gush about how inspiring it was. He was truly a working mans man!
Good Times!

I'm on board for another four years. GOBAMA!
