Same here. I could see that all his hard work bore fruit. Whatever his problems with Obama and his "nuts," I saw pure pride in his eyes. It was one of my favorite moments. Lewis did look like he was crying, but I have always sensed pride and a sense of understanding the historical significance for him

I had to say at that moment, for all that Jesse has pissed me off recently, I did feel for him. Like him or not, get tired of him at times, can't deny that he's worked for Black people, that he's done a lot of good. And for that Jesse who's fought for us, who's bled for us, who's been a friend to us, i was happy. On MSNBC, John Lewis was all puffy and red eyed, as if he'd been bawling like a baby too. ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: "Tracey de Morsella" <tdemorsella@ multiculturaladv antage.com> Did anyone see Jesse Jackson crying right before the speech. He looked like a proud father. It was a long way from "I want to crush his ball" I loved it
