so devastating.

He and his family certainly seem to be very moved by being in this cell. And, we have to remain hopeful about Obama because he has asked us to. But, we have to be VIGILANT and PUSHING HIM...at the same time.

We all too can forget "memorable movements" when "Life" gets in the way. Let's hope that this was a moment too profound for both him and Michelle and their children that this will be sustained in his and their memory. Nothing like kids and partners to keep one engaged.
