I'm Not Done With The Drama! I Want More Obama! →[More:]

I'm not even CLOSE to being over the Obamarama, kids! This post is to divebomb me with the best Obama stories, images, poems, anything you got!

I want to ride this train until I puke. So, bunnies, link me to the best Obama stories you know - the best political cartoons, most hopeful stories, best personal anecdotes, whatever you got.

I'm SO NOT READY to go back to the status quo! Humor a man, won't you?

Just go here and replace Chuck Norris with Barack Obama. That should keep you going for awhile.

The best, I don't know, but it was quite a day at work today, what with all the high fives and terrorist fist bumps. We are so juvenile, yet so happy. The funny thing is that even the conservatives were sort of happy to see a black man elected president, even if they disagreed with most of his political views. It was a good day in America, a very, very good day.

The ladies on The View were happy- all of them, even Elizabeth!

TPS...props on that clip. It reduced two full grown adults to blubbering heaps of maudlin.

Wow. Even little Elizabeth (SurvivorILF) McCain Hasselbeck.

I wanted to start a thread with pictures/video of people crying about the Obama win. So yeah, I'll probably start posting a bunch of those when I get in to work today.

Via Kate Harding and the Chicago Tribune. Although no one is crying, these dudes were sighted multiple times outside Grant Park, honking and waving and getting people jazzed up.

Mudgirl, that photo is fantastic.

The images. The images! This election and this presidency are a field day for semioticians and media studies people. THe visual language of the whole thing is just...wow.

Man, it's super-hard to track down photos from Grant Park on Tuesday night. I guess everyone but me has moved on.

The commenters over at Jezebel thing that Stephen Colbert and John Stewart were on the verge of happy tears in this clip.

OK, I finally found the the Chicago Tribune photoset:
