72. Very moving for a powerful man to openly display such emotion!
I have no doubt the emotion displayed by the President is real and genuine. It's good that Obama feels secure enough to show emotion instead of always have to be the tough American president. I like that, and I like the example he sets for others.

The loss of Dorothy Height was undoubtedly a very hard thing for him, but I would consider that he's probably shedding tears not only because of her death, but because of the current movement by the Tea Baggers, etc. AWAY from the very ideals that Ms. Height revered and fought for all of us to have. Equality and justice.

This country is going backwards (you have only to look to Arizona!!!), and that is enough to sadden anyone.
