Watching last night I noticed a few things:
-Watching CNN is the most intense bombardment of information. I love the dramatic noise that comes on when they make a prediction.
-The holograms, also on CNN, were hilarious. CNN was bursting at the seams with the most ridiculous technology. I particularly enjoyed when Will.i.am, lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, was being interviewed by Anderson Cooper via hologram and how he did a little dance. Anderson Cooper didn't even react. Ahh, holograms. Everyone looks like a complete tool as a hologram, by the way. You just can't be taken seriously.
-I also just love Anderson Cooper. He just has something about him. He's a great reporter and journalist.
-Also, Jon King (I think that's his name) was having a lot of fun with that touch screen map last night. He was zooming in here and zooming out there. I loved when he was speculating how McCain could get up to 270 and he was saying "I'll give him this state and this one too,". Even he clearly wasn't going to win the state, he pressed it. It was just ridiculous after a point.
-Another great moment was when a black man on the CNN panel responded to Obama's win. All he said was 100 years ago the NAACP was formed and he didn't go into great detail. He let the facts stand for themselves. He was getting emotional, and it was truly moving.
-Also, I swear, Loni Love, the black woman who does the commentary on all the I Love the... on VH1 was on CNN crying and smiling in a bar in LA after the results had come in.
-Now on to the speech:
The part about the 106-year old woman really got me especially hearing it a second time. Also, Obama was talking about how the campaign started on the back porches of..., and the backyards of..., and I thought that showed how far he'd come.
-Oprah was in the audience
-Michelle Obama's dress was bold and modern, very metallic. I had mixed feelings, but I think it again showed how she is a modern American woman. I love her.
So much more to say. So much history made. Obama...congratulations! You are an inspiration to all. I don't know what else there is to say. It's just amazing.
