A Piece Of That "Our"

At some point, I'll stop posting this kind of stuff. But not now. From Judith Warner's most recent op-ed for the NYT "Tears to Remember":

"The glory of Barack Obama is that there are so many different kinds of us who can claim a piece of that 'our.' African-Americans, Democrats, post-boomers, progressives, people who rose from essentially nowhere and through hard work and determination succeeded beyond their parents’ wildest dreams are the most obvious.

But there are also people who respect intelligence and good grammar. People who see their spouse as their 'best friend,' as Barack called Michelle on Tuesday night. People whose children have the same knowing look as Sasha and Malia, who are probably more excited about their puppy than about their father’s presidency."
