Aww. So sweet! I love Joe. He was so great when he was in Raleigh the other week. You can tell he's genuine. I'm loving the transparency of this campaign.

You have to wonder what Uncle Joe's saying to Malia. In a good way, of course. But still, I'd like to know. It's like the end of Lost in Translation!

biden is the jam and i love that the wives are both so warm in their greetings. all of these make me feel great about the kind of attitude that was potentially prevalent behind the scenes throughout the campaign. there is such a strong sense of family and compatibility.

Novus ordo seclorum says:

What was achieved on Nov. 4th is truly a victory and in no way should it be seen otherwise within its' right. But not for the same reason it is also the spark which will ignite our constitution doused over the years with the fuel of dwelling liberties by the very people it was designed to protect.

That's adorable. Biden's like their uncle in this shot!

timothymci says:

Joe is the real thing, but who could resist those cuties.
The Obamas seem genuinely close to the Bidens, just like the Clintons and Gores in '92. It's looking like we're once again starting 8 years of prosperity and respect.

Oh, my God, I thought I was done bursting into spontaneous tears of joy. I loves me some Biden, but this is just adorable. Such a good shot.

ddcarter55 says:

Not ever have I seen the connection between two families such as this in the Obama Biden campaign. From a clinical aspect, they appear to be very "well functioning" people. Love is the opposite of fear and in the shots I see only love.

Dear President Obama

I produced this as a means of supporting
your efforts in the quest for world peace.
I used the images as a means of innuendo.
.

The Video is called;

"Show us the way President Obama"

I am honored by your win, your presence in
American politics and your extreme courage
to change the very fabric of our nation for the
better.

The video is here at;

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r7CZARwU2k

Love Stan
A proud American

P.S. To all others viewing this, it is a
very strong message and the only way
to fully understand the intent is to watch
it all the way through.
If it is overwhelming, book mark
and come back later.

This Change has been more than inspirational...

It felt visceral. I cried the night of the election and I cry more now each time I see a further sign of how foundational this change is… it’s in all the comments here.

I’m a white sixty year old Canadian/British male, psychotherapist for 37 years. I want to comment from that perspective on where I believe we’re going from here.

Being moderately good at what I ‘do’ as a psychotherapist comes, I believe ;>) at least in part from my awareness of how we are all ‘split’. We are divided into differing sides of self - loving/fearful, awake/asleep, male/female, angry/defeated, forgiving/hateful - you name it. I work at healing that split in myself as well as in others (as they choose to!) We live, in those ways, in ‘duality’: we see ourselves as ‘just a body, mind and feelings here’ but we are also a ‘consciousness that animates this life process’.

In 1971 I saw perhaps one male to 30 women. These days I often have more men than women to book for therapy. That change parallels, I believe, what Barack’s election is saying we can achieve.
I grew up in a relatively privileged environment. Yet having been crippled at times by depression or anxiety, watching Obama I realized something fundamental. There is probably a part of each of the 6 and a half billion of us that has felt we Have To: 'sit at the back of the bus' - be vulnerable and have someone else in charge of our lives. Maybe the change he is facilitating is one we can each participate in. Maybe we can each risk being much more the Authors of our Own Stories… bridging our brokenness. I call it Switching Off Autopilot.
