I just knelt in front of my teevee....
Closed my eyes, clasped my hands in prayer, and gave President Obama a kiss. :patriot:

19. We're all allowed to express our joy at this moment in our own way.
There's a HUGE difference here - no one asked or demanded them to do that, unlike Bush. That's the difference and it's a big one.

31. Nothing ...
I am 42.

As a child/youth, I was a very enpassioned sports fan, who was prone during big games to getting down from the coach and sitting a foot away from the TV and pumping my fists and pretty much going into the TV to connect with my teams during big moments.

Tonight, I found myself doing the same thing.

13. I just closed my eyes
and thanked Martin, Malcolm, JFK, RFK and all the unsung heroes of the 60s. The pioneers of my lifetime.

Exhale!

25. Also, it wasn't a FUNDIE CHRISTIAN prayer.
We Jews pray, too. The nutjob who scolded me for it shouldn't get his patties in a wade! ;)

26. It's a little weird, but you can do whatever you like in the privacy of your home
It's between you and your TV.

29. I only get on my knees to pray to God.
Not for a politician, but it's a free country. Whatever floats your boat.

30. You prayed.
That's why you are being criticized in this thread.
