President tells his whip sharp campaign staff he is proud of them, excited for their futures

Since his first presidential campaign, Barack Obama has shown he is unashamed to show his emotional side. On Wednesday, the president cried as he thanked his campaign staff in Chicago. The video (above) was released by the Obama campaign and emailed to supporters and volunteers. "I wanted to pass this video along, because it's a message every single person who helped build this campaign deserves to see," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina wrote in an email. "He wasn't just talking to those of us in the office -- he was talking to all of you."
