Peter Ziomek, a friend of The Rachel Maddow Show, made a poster out of Maddow's post election commentary. I love it. Check it out:
Yes! Obama!!
President Obama!
Yes.
Obama 2008 and 2012! Forward!!
I was in Grant Park on election night in 2008. It was thrilling! May we be as fortunate again on this day. Obama 2012...Forward!
