Fascinating set of pictures from Obama’s team… reveals the President-elect’s election night to be mostly like a bad New Year celebration, with a lot of sitting around and boredom, watching TV and waiting for a moment. His demeanor is fascinating; very low key, in private as he was on stage. Maybe, of course, to do with the death of his grandmother. Maybe he’s just a very calm customer. One thing I do know: if I’d just been elected President, it would be ugly. I’d have all the grace and poise of Joey Barton celebrating a goal.
