Man, there's a lot of cynicism left over in this election! I choose to think he's crying due to the enormity of what happened last night...
-------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jesse Jackson was indeed bawling. But I admit, I was wodnering were those tears of pride at a black man becoming President? Or were they tears of envy because it was not him who had achieved it. Nonetheless, it was indeed quite an achievement in this country that was built on the backs of slaves.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tavis Smiley was working with Brian Williams on NBC. I completely forgot he was over there, as I was bouncing between CNN and TVOne. a friend said Tavis was eating crow, but i know he still doesn't really support Obama because the latter's not Dr. King. Look: i was probably the biggest Smiley supporter around, even taking heat in these e-mail posts for defending him when he first said "don't be blinded by Obama's light". But even i had to admit his reticence and criticism are misguided. I'm still disappointed that Smiley--one of the hardest working, most politically involved people of the age--sat this one out. Didn't work with Tom Joyner as he did in years past, didn't do a lot of get-out-the-vote drives in black communities, didn't support Obama. Very sad, very naive of him. I used to fantasize back in the day that President Obama would appoint Smiley his press secretary, but there's little chance of that now.. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella" Same here. I could see that all his hard work bore fruit. Whatever his problems with Obama and his �nuts,� I saw pure pride in his eyes. It was one of my favorite moments. Speaking of people who have pissed me off, what is Tavis saying?

I had to say at that moment, for all that Jesse has pissed me off recently, I did feel for him. Like him or not, get tired of him at times, can't deny that he's worked for Black people, that he's done a lot of good. And for that Jesse who's fought for us, who's bled for us, who's been a friend to us, i was happy. On MSNBC, John Lewis was all puffy and red eyed, as if he'd been bawling like a baby too. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella" Did anyone see Jesse Jackson crying right before the speech. He looked like a proud father.
