Judging by his first press conference yesterday, I also hope he loosens up. I'm sure he'll find his "Presidential" voice soon. He needn't have a dry delivery to have Commander-in-Chief cred. I think we've had enough of that. I agree. Judging by his first press conference yesterday, I also hope he loosens up. I’m sure he’ll find his “Presidential” voice soon.

It was an honor to be there, and I really still haven't parsed the fabulousness of having a black President-elect yet. Afterwards, crowding was so thick in downtown Chicago, I walked almost the entire 1.5 miles home in the middle of Michigan Avenue and State Streets, two of this cities most major arteries. But I'm sure you guys celebrated with just as much relief and joy in Cleveland! No problem, Peter.
