Count me in too. I was trying to be cool...but the shot of Jesse broke me down. Jesse pisses me off on a semi-regular basis, but dude was on the balcony with Dr. King. To see him see Obama with his own eyes and to see him cry...I understood, and -- he got me. My son had fallen asleep at that point, but he was on my lap at the time, and I looked down, looked at the screen, and it really hit me. But I also have to say that I think that picture marked the end of an era. Racism ain't over, that's for sure, but we now have a new symbol of inspiration.

It was great to see. I think Jesse tends to put his foot in his mouth on more than one occassion, and is too addicted the limelight, but I think overall people tend to malign him unfairly--throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I think that shot was worth a million, as the man who once stood over the body of a slain MLK could now look at this historic event. His issues with Obama, I've always thought, had to do with the fact that Jesse is an activist and Obama is a politician. But, all odd nut cuttin comments aside, the two have a long-if-not-always- close relationship (his daughter is one of Obama's children's godmother), so there are certainly paternal allusions to be made.

But I admit, I was wodnering were those tears of pride at a black man becoming President? Or were they tears of envy because it was not him who had achieved it. Nonetheless, it was indeed quite an achievement in this country that was built on the backs of slaves. YES WE CAN and YES WE DID.

Count me among the puffy red eyed people. When the camera panned to Jesse Jackson I had just stopped and I got all stirred up again. I was watching with my son who finds my emotional attachment to this election pretty funny. I just couldn't hold it back. I started when MSNBC called Ohio for Sen. Obama and kept on, off and on, through the end of his speech.
