This was the highlight of the show (for me anyway).
ADDING... Congratulations to Stephen Colbert's Grammy win for Best Comedy Album.

Obama Wins Grammy
Barack Obama couldn't lose anything this weekend! Not only did he take four states, he also won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album (Includes Poetry, Audio Books & Story Telling) beating out Maya Angelou, Alan Alda, Jimmy Carter and ... Bill Clinton.
Obama won for "The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream".

Not Ready To Make Nice
Congratulations to the Dixie Chicks.
The Chicks, who ignited controversy four years ago when lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush on the eve of the Iraq war, won all five [Grammy] Awards for which they were nominated, including the big three: album of the year (for "Taking the Long Way"), song of the year and record of the year (both for "Not Ready to Make Nice").
"I think people are using their freedom of speech with all these awards. We get the message," said Maines, paying tribute to other nominees with an oblique acknowledgement that the group was being honored as much for its stand as its music. "I'm very humbled."
