5. Can you imagine Romney trying to pull of actual emotion?

It's too painful to even think about. President Obama has disappointed me a few times, but I am so thankful we have a president with compassion and a good heart. Thanks for the pics.

6. Thank you Kadie. A moving tribute and call to action.

To stare into the abyss, to face the darkness and insist there is a future -- to not give up, to say yes to life, to believe in the possibility of justice. - speaks straight to my heart.
