17. Barack and Michelle Obama

are the Charles and Diana of the 21st Century. They are beloved at home; and admired all over the world.

2. So far I've watched this three times

And am moved every time and want to watch it again. Not only is the song one of my favorites, but the Obamas are obviously so much in love and there's so much respect there and I could go on and on and on. To top it all off "At Last" is one of my favorite songs of all time and Beyonce does Etta James justice. This has pretty much been a pluperfect day.

10. Anybody know if there's a video of them dancing to Stevie?

I stupidly didn't think of tuning in to ABC tonight and missed it. Can't find it on ABC's site.

That video was so awesome by the way...

She is always smiling. Just seeing her look at the President and smile gets you teary eyed.
Simply an incredable sight!

13. We played the Etta James version

for our first dance at our wedding. It doesn't get ant better than that. Even if we're throwing things at each other, we stop and embrace when that song comes on.

19. I cry every time I see that clip . . .

But it just occured to me how much different this would have been if Hillary had been elected. I wanted her early on and kind of settled on Obama and did vote for him. I know these are terrible times and the Obama family will need the love and support of every one of it's members. To see that they truly love and respect each other and you can see the "oneship" that they have, it is truly a beautiful thing.
