Best moment of the Obamamercial?

What do you think? I LOVED the end, how it cut to the live event, but what really struck me was the arthritic woman rubbing her hands while her 72-year-old husband drove off to his job. :cry:

10. That was awful; I had to leave the room
It's hard for me to watch hungry people at all, but hungry people in America? What's wrong with us when the richest country in the history of the world -- a country that makes Rome, Ancient Egypt, and Babylon combined look like paupers -- has people worrying about getting enough to eat?

When my kid was about three, I remember her crying and saying, "Daddy, I'm hungry!" and we didn't have a thing to eat. I was employed, but literally without 2 cents to rub together, and because I was male and employed there were no charities or services to help us. I had a job for Christ's sake, yet I was reduced to stealing ramen noodles and diapers.

9. So many brilliant moments.
Favorites: Michelle talking about him as a father (Harry Potter), hearing him talk about both his mother and his father and then the grand moment when they opened up live in Florida. It was so damn good!
