Media keeps trying to analyze why Obama was crying the other day

Last edited Sat Nov 10, 2012, 11:53 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

It is simply this....

He looked around, saw a bunch of idealistic 20-somethings who worked their asses off for 18 months...

...and he knew the country was going to be OK. The future will be bright.

Just like Kennedy inspired a generation in the 60s... Obama has done the same 50 years later.

Those staff members in Chicago will be the ones running the Democratic party for the next several decades...

And everything is going to be OK.
