First of all, your embedding failed. Perhaps, just provide a link. And if this is the same video from NC on the front page, well, I guess I didn't see where he teared up.

Thanks.

Copy code of video for embedding. Go to your post. Switch from WYSIWYG mode to HTML mode (buttons are on right hand side above text box.)
Paste in your code. Switch back to WYSIWYG mode. You should see video box appear. VEE_OH_LA!!!! It worked!

Yes, I saw the moment live on CNN. MSNBC cut away too soon. There is a point where he takes out a handerkerchief and wipes away tears. And his voice getting raspy just got to me...

Thanks for the tips but I don't see html mode or the edit option.

This is my first post here on TPM.

As to beachmom's question, the video in my post is not the same. My video does show Obama tearing up.
