201. God bless the children, indeed!
I could be being overly optimistic, but I feel a greater sense of trust among people of different races since election day. I feel it on campus here at USF, I feel it in the neighborhood. I hope it lasts.

Those two boys exemplify everything great about the campaign and about this country- the best of America. And the connection made between the Dads, too- so cool.

Beautiful pics.

Maybe we should send a bunch of kids to fill the diplomat slots. They have a knack for making friends and overlooking insignificant differences. :-)

Absolutely great photos.

39. I'm begging for the blog link for this.
The blogger/photographer MUST get credit for this photo essay, it's absolutely AMAZING. I'd like to share it with others with appropriate credit, please?

"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

....

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

........

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day."

85. more joy tears
after all the anger & frustration of the last eight years, I cherish every tear of joy that I've cried in the last 3 days.

I worked in Indiana (now BLUE) to GOTV (I live in KY). My 9 & 8 year old took turns going with me & helping at headquarters. My son & I were lucky enough to give a Mexican American first time voter a ride to the polls. He is raising 3 of his 7 grandkids. Let me tell you it was the most beautiful experience. We parted with him inviting all of us to visit the next time we were in town. He thanked me & Mr. Jacob (my son) & told Jacob how honored he was to have met such a dedicated young man. The joy tears started as soon as we drove off & have been with me off and on since then. We are all lucky, but I truly believe that my children, all children have a better future ahead of them. I am very proud of my country.

That last picture looks like it came from a Renaissance religious painting.

Except for all the digital cameras, of course.

191. I have a dream today!
<snip>
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
<snip>

I white person am now verklempt.I've seen the racist south in 65.I've always tried to temper my
feelings and attitudes over the years. I believe that Children are the hope of this nation, even the bible teaches that. The youth have finally come around and made the "change" we all need.

And I'm crying all over again. It's funny how such simple things can mean so much and be so profound.

206. Thanks! Here is the link to Flickr: Obama's Photostream w/live uploads - over 50k pix & growing
Subscribe to continue to get updated pix. I have only made it to page 300 our of about 3000 PAGES, but I have saved some great shots. You can right click on the photo and save it to your computer - same as if you took the pix yourself (for those who don't know.) You may find your own pix on here if you volunteered w/Obama campaign - uploads from all over the country, and possibly Berlin - I haven't perused all yet. Great candid shots of Obama and family on election night and traveling back. Some of my favorites are of all the snapshots of the front pages of newspapers! Great to keep, imo.

I then use SmileBox to then make a wonderful presentation of pix to send to friends.

What about uploading these to the Obama website for all the world to see?

220. Captions?
Everytime I look at these pics I get different captions in my head. Each more profound than the previous. I know I need a break.
The first time they were adorable kids. They have now morphed into angels in disguise, with an agenda of bringing world peace.

228. HERE'S WHERE I FOUND THE PHOTOS
I posted this info elsewhere in this thread, but the thread is so long the info is kind of lost.

At any rate, for those of you who are wondering where the photos came from ....

I found them on another blog and asked the poster there where he got them. He got them from here,

http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/7bno0/this_is_how_you_sum_up_what_happened_in_the_usa/

but, as the webpage says, the person who posted the photos does not know who the photographer is.

234. I played this song while looking at the pictures...
Thank you Nida. Your wonderful photos have made me and so many other people happy. Like others, these photos made me cry. I immediately thought of this song called "Look For The Child" (mp3 link for those who want to hear it).

I want to know what the child would do
In place of me and you
I want to know what the babe would say
To make the anger dissipate
If whole naivete could only rule our world
We might at last have peace and all our animals
Pure unbridled joy

Look for the child, free of influence
And you'll find your teacher
Why are you all crying?
Why did Daddy die?
Doesn't that man have a home?
Mommy

You know the child can only learn hate
From the actions of our adults
For we kill, we maim, we torture
What would become of the babe who grows
Without a parent's complex fears
Petty jealousy, petty lies

Look for the child, free of influence
And you'll find your teacher
Why are you all crying?
Why did Daddy die?
Doesn't that man have a home?
When I grow up, will I be just like you?
Mommy

...

We should listen to what they say
Their answers are so simple
Just stop, just cut it out
They'll never murder you for your country
They'll never murder you for your color
They're pure unbridled joy

Look for the child, free of influence
And you'll have your leader
(I'll let them lead)
Why are you all crying?
(I'll let them lead me)
Why did Daddy die?
(I'll let them lead me)
Doesn't that man have a home?
(I'd trust them with my life)
When I grow up
(I'll let them lead me)
will I be just like you?
