Oh, okay. I guess I had looked away, and when I turned back, thought it was when Aretha was singing. Your explanation works better for the tears. Thanks.
Thanks - it was so touching!!!!!! Two things came to my mind … that it possibly reminded him of a song his mother liked (I always go there, being a mom!), or that perhaps he was thinking “we” wouldn’t have some of these older classy women singers around forever …
Anyway, funny how I try to determine for myself what’s in the head of the President of the United States, when he dabs at tears!!! Like I could ever figure that out. But with him, he’s so interesting, you gotta try!
Thanks for informing me about The Kennedy Center showing tonight. Just set my DVR to record it.
Got back from my five days with family for Xmas last night. I am so lucky to have had four kids! They are so important to my life.
Congratulations, Jacqueline! Every moment of the Kennedy Center Honors show was delightful.
It was, Judith!
Tonight’s Kennedy Center Honors is a must, must, MUST WATCH!!!!
The honors to Cicely Tyson, Rita Moreno, and Carole King were breathtaking and so beautiful.
ReeRee SSSLAYED!
100% truth!
Indeed Nerdy. Good thing I have the show fully recorded my DVR….now off to replay the special moments before settling in for the night! :)

Also, notice the gentleman in back - also struggling to maintain his composure! :)

Usher got his cheeks wet.
I saw him tear up!
It was after the tribute to Cicely Tyson when they sang “Blessed Assurance”. Love that song. I cried too.

No, you’re right, Ms. J’OB. The President teared up during Aretha’s performance.

Loved this moment: FLOTUS rockin’ (like a church lady) and POTUS wiping away a tear. Wow!
Knew it was gonna happen. Made me jump outta my chair anyway!
