in the polling place, rather than the newscasters.

10. descendants of slaves watching their daddy vote for himself for President

a huge historical moment and not one of the channels can keep their mouth shut and take it in.

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. nm

[flygal]

13. They look so tired

I'm so sad about his Grandma - :cry:

[grantcart]

18. you can hear the kids talk lol

[Celebrandil]

15. What is he doing in there? Hacking the machine?

It really takes him lots of time to vote.

[Essene]

20. taking way way way way too long to vote... sending the wrong message

not that it's going to cause much damage, but this is the wrong message to send.

i love seeing the kids there and all that, but the point should be to get in and to get out... that this is not some huge drama.

he needs to tell michelle to get it TOGETHER and finish, my god...

[jefferson_dem]

:mad:

[Tatiana]

43. Do you know how FUCKING LONG a Chicago ballot is? n/t

[BlueGirlRedState]

24. I'm guessing Michelle is cherry-picking

and Barack's going with the straight ticket!

[wndycty]

29. You guys don't realize how long the Chicago ballot is. . .

. . .there are a ton of candidates on the ballot

[grace0418]

32. Seriously! It took me at least that long to vote.

I was being very careful and double-checking everything!

[shagin]

36. Seriously, so many judges and city positions.

I was filling out a sample ballot last night to take with me this morning, and it took so long. Its also different from district to district so his may have been even longer. There is no "straight ticket"

[No Elephants]

30. Everyone at the polling place cheering and applauding.

[Prism]

41. Cook County ballots are monsters

Seriously. I went in prepared, with all of my choices written down, and it still took forever to work through the ballot. 10 minutes at least.

There are pages and pages of judges alone. I know many people tick off yes/no based on party, expediency, etc. But if you want to be even a little particular about which ones you're voting for, you're going to be there awhile.

[rdublue]

33. Joe Biden, Jill and Joe's mom are voting now

[BlueGirlRedState]

34. I have tears in my eyes!

What a proud day this is!

And he's so gracious to all of the voters in the polling place.

[Polly Hennessey]

38. Voting

Can't believe it but watching Barack vote made me teary eyed but oh so happy. What a moment in history for us and I get to be part of it.

[Dinger]

39. Anybody Notice The Resemblance Between The Statue Of Liberty Logo & The Obama Logo?

On the voting booths where the Obamas voted? Maybe it's just me.

[ecstatic]

44. I'm late to thread, but did anyone hear Mika's last minute dig

as Obama was going into the polls, she went out of her way to mention that Bill Ayers had just left that same polling place. :eyes:

[lonestarnot]

45. I'm sure he voted for candidate #3.14!

[DerekJ]

46. Hillary and Bill now voting.
