These are my favorite pictures from the Obama campaign. How wonderful it was to see Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senator Dianne Feinstein come down the stairs right in front of President-Elect Barack Obama! President Barack Obama's speech was very serious - we need to get serious.
Okay, the fun is over - time to go to work. That means all of us (that includes Mayor Newsom) we need to focus on San Francisco's economy, crime and helping the neighborhoods.
