My only regret is that Obama’s grandmother didn’t live to see the moment above. The victory is hers as much as anyone’s, if not more.

I think she was in heaving, working for his victory up there. I think her death ENSURED his win.
and she’s watching.
It is just all so incredible. I think we all breathed a collective sigh of relief last night. I kept thinking about his Grandmother, his mother and father not being there, but then I realized that they were in spirit.
I just wanted to say congratulations and thank you for all your hard work on SD Prop 11. You all did an amazing job and it clearly showed.
Thank you. Women everywhere are a little safer because of this.
It’s so wonderful!
I also think it’s really touching that because she voted as an absentee ballot she still got to take part in her grandson’s victory.
YEAH!
