Hey everybody!

We got to say hello to President Obama for a second time this week!
It was a tremendous honor. We all behaved just like you’d imagine - shakey inappropriate laughter, the occasional trip over our own feet, but he was nothing short of lovely.
Catherine and I got a couple kisses and congratulations, all in all an amazing evening!!

Then the next morning I awoke to find that he had mentioned me alongside Stonewall and Jackie Robinson in his next speech! Such an unprecedented honor. I can hardly believe it today as I consider the leaders who have truly made these milestones possible for all of us.
God bless the President. Today lets all wish him success and thoughtfulness, regardless of what political lines we’ve drawn.

He’s got the gig, let’s help him do it justice.

He didn’t stalk her, he was just — (laughter) — he was a fan. And so Pete Souza gets credit, before Jimmy Fallon or anybody else, for Brandi Carlile being discovered, at least by me. (Laughter.) But we’re so grateful for her participating here tonight.

Obama at my studio #4

President Barack Obama openly weeping as he talks to his campaign volunteers [x]

thesmithian:

Neither Obama nor Mitt Romney is foolish enough to compare himself directly to Lincoln, but whichever man is elected on Tuesday faces a political landscape nearly as divided and poisonous as the one confronted by the 16th president. Moreover, this year’s election will vividly illustrate that the schisms of the Civil War—over differing visions of justice and equality, competing ideas about states’ rights and federal power, cultural divisions between North and South—have yet to heal, long after the passage of many generations and enormous waves of demographic change…
