I saw that last night; righties will no doubt bitch that he's faking it, but to me it shows one side of Obama that I respect; he really gives a shit about the people. He's not that good an actor, those tears are real.

I caught him visiting the Chicago headquarters Tuesday and personally phoning some of the volunteers to say thanx, and thought that was pretty cool, too.

Tit for tat got us where we are today. If we want to be grownups, we need to resist the ugliness. If we each did, this would be a better reflection on Firefly and a more welcome place. I will try.

Yeah, the blogosphere is in an uproar. They all wanna call Obama "a pussy" for crying "like a baby," but then they'd have to acknowledge that they got their collective ass handed to 'em by the self-same "pussy." Hijinks ensue...

Oh I didn't know that. Their version of "slick willie" (Romney...OR Ryan for that matter) wouldn't be caught DEAD showing honest emotions! Of course, we know those "honest emotions" wouldn't show they CARED about anything but gaining power anyway...

I'm really sick of these people. Sick, sick, SICK to death of the mentality!

Boehner cried too, and many said the same thing about him.

Grown men, leaders, don't cry. Not over themselves winning, they don't.

( and no, I didn't bother watching Barry cry. It's pathetic )

Hello,

The evidence shows a grown man, a leader, crying.

Perhaps you meant he shouldn't cry.

In which case you need to address why he is forbidden such an expression, or why crying is pathetic. I have seen many manly men weep in victory, and I have seen all kinds of people weep when thanking those who supported them in their victories.

I thought we were past the outdated notion that tears indicated weakness.

There are a very few times when it's acceptable for a grown man to cry. In public.

This ain't one of them.

Oh, my, so have I, big time! You are unquestionably one of a kind, Anthony, and we're lucky to have you. While most of the rest of us get frustrated with Rap and tell him off, your gentle nudging shames us all.

You ARE joking, right? I guess Rap answered that for you. The neanderthals of the world are alive and well, trust me, and they'm don't tolerate no sissy-boys!

Heaven help us. Or, as Frem might say to their ilk: "Krishna onna crotch rocket man", get real!

(They won't, you know. Wulf and Rap personify the "manly-man man" mentality of the mostly-Republican Visigoths.)

They're both grown men who needlessly cry. In public.

What are you whining about again ? So the lil socialist cries. BFD ! He's destroying the USA, that should be enough to make the rest of US cry.

I'm not swayed by this man-child's crocodile tears.

He's not my Holy of Holies. He's only divided us more. Color me not impressed, one bit.

It's funny, I saw the video before I heard any commentary on it. It never occurred to me to type 'Obama cries!' as the thread title, or as the vid's main selling point. I would've posted it here whether Obama shed a tear or not. It was a great, intimate speech. If like me you're not so swayed by soaring rhetoric read from a teleprompter, and want to see something more natural, and human, this is much more impressive. I defy anyone to watch this and say that Obama doesn't genuinely care about the country, and the people he's serving, and what he's doing for them.

Well, I'm not watching. Don't need to. He doesn't love this country. How could he ? His wife was NEVER proud of it, until HE was nominated by the Dems for Prez. And then HE said he wants to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE it.

If you looked at your spouse, or your child, and say " I love you! But I want to fundamentally CHANGE you ", doesn't that send a mixed message ?

He loves taking from those HE thinks have made too much, and give to those he chooses, you know... to spread the WEALTH around.

Hello,

Are you suggesting that the Republicans love this country so much that they don't want to change it? Because I've heard them talking, and they've been discussing some pretty big changes to the way we do things right now.

In fact, I think that's why they are running for office, so that they can change things from what they are currently.

I would assume Obama believes in what he's doing, believes sincerely that its the right thing for the country. I don't doubt his sincerity.

I was raised in a household where sex had no bearing on one expressing one's feelings, gender was irrelevent in that regard. My dad cries regularly at romantic comedies for goodness sake. Sometimes when we watch movies that we know are going to be sad we see who will cry first, me or him, its usually him. Like Anthony I fail to see how a little tears in public is immasculating in any way.
