2. That was BEAUTIFUL! She must have never thought this possible when
she endorsed Hillary. But, we all pulled together and it happened!

3. Harry's body language is quite telling in this clip
Check it out when he says "why this man?".

Amazing.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed this clip.

10. I tried to analyze his body language here. I honestly think he is pleased
and thrilled at Obama's election and knows what an extraordinary man he is. From his body language I surmised that he was anticipating Maya Angelou's response to his question with pleasure. He KNOWS the answer to "Why this man," and knows how she will respond and is happy to give her this opportunity.

"The American Treasure" - perfect. I just bask in hearing that beautiful voice.

There went a box of tissues - but good tears. (Lamp_shade I wrote this before I saw your post -LOL)
