And I said, "No, congratulations to you too! He's OUR President-elect now."

That dress looks horrific on michelle Obama. Emphasizes her paunch. I though to myself several times: "Is she pregnant?".

The dress isn't what's important.
The use of the word "overcomes," however, is incredibly significant, resonating as it does with the historic moment.

"Jackie is disgusted with her country and all of the fucking communists who voted for Obama."

And all that person has to remember is how pissed off they were that their candidate didn't win or that they didn't like this, that or the other thing.
It's the equivalent of remember the entire RFK thing and telling our generation: "I didn't like the guy. I really didn't give a shit about what happened."
It's like step back, everyone. Take a large step back, open your eyes and looks at what's happened here. It's huge, historic, a watershed moment in American history. Let your anger go.

Does anyone else feel the need to hug total strangers today? I will try to resist.

How cool to not feel the need to cringe at other countries' headlines about us. I'd forgotten how that felt!

Ha ha - psych!

I was dreaming in my dreaming
of an aspect bright and fair
and my sleeping it was broken
but my dream it lingered near
in the form of shining valleys
where the pure air recognized
and my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
that the people / have the power
to redeem / the work of fools
upon the meek / the graces shower
it's decreed / the people rule
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect
and bending low as if to hear
and the armies ceased advancing
because the people had their ear
and the shepherds and the soldiers
lay beneath the stars
exchanging visions
and laying arms
to waste / in the dust
in the form of / shining valleys
where the pure air / recognized
and my senses / newly opened
I awakened / to the cry
Refrain
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
like cream the waters rise
and we strolled there together
with none to laugh or criticize
and the leopard
and the lamb
lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
to recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
god knows / a purer view
as I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
Refrain
The power to dream / to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it's decreed the people rule
it's decreed the people rule
LISTEN
I believe everything we dream
can come to pass through our union
we can turn the world around
we can turn the earth's revolution
we have the power
People have the power ...
