Top 10 crying moments from Obama to Gazza

Nothing increases a person's public image a bit like blubbing very timely, as Barack Obama has brilliantly demonstrated. Here is a selection of the best - and strangest - tears of celebrities

Have you seen Obama still crying? Thanking the staff and volunteers of the campaign headquarters in Chicago on Wednesday, reelected president paused, the tears and wiped a tear to applause from his supporters.

Clip

was directly on his official YouTube channel - we thought - for two reasons: to show volunteers and staff of the depth of the gratitude he felt for his hard work, and because the Obama people know that it is real and when it is time, nothing is more effective for the public image of a person crying a little well-intentioned.

Similarly, when the weather is bad, or the tears do not seem justified, can be a very bad way. Here are nine times more tears, triumphs wholeheartedly humanization mixing with water embarrassing explosions. And that which is just weird.

Gordon Brown by Piers Morgan springs

speaks volumes about the attitude of the public towards Gordon Brown in February 2010 that YouTube clip is entitled "Gordon Brown crying voice." Cynicism seems unfair. He had, after all, been invited to speak about the death of his daughter and Piers Morgan look directly at the same time. This is likely to reduce most people to tears.

Vladimir Putin: "We won!" Speech

flags fluttered

filled Red Square, but the show was marked by a series of suspicious small Vlad right eye. The reason people Putin was the wind. It is clear that we are not interested in getting emotional in Russia.

Andy Murray: "I'm closing"

is generally considered impolite to turn the tears when you lose, but an exception must be made to Andy Murray. The austere and generally grumpy Scot transformed its image in the space of four minutes, when he fought tears to thank his fans and his family after his defeat against Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final this year.

Glenn Beck
sorry love America

This is strange. When forehands jock Glenn Beck nationalist burst into tears in the air, it probably became even more popular with the brigade of patriotism. But confirmed the growing concern among all others - even including the management of Fox News - that Beck was not the kind of man to trust with the public. Or even a pencil sharpener.

• Ken Livingstone
• tears in his campaign launch
• is fair to say that it go your way. By all means, mourn a moving story about the campaign. But never, never cry her own show prefabricated elections. There is a very mayor.
• Gwyneth Paltrow
• implodes on winning Oscar

The jury is still out on this point. Paltrow gasped and grimaced his way through floods as she thanked her agent, her family and half of Hollywood is in what was a whirlwind of tears blew arrogant or a tender and intimate moment of emotion pure.

Chris Hoy fight tears on the podium

motion, if a bit strange that. Cry when you win the first gold medal of course. Cry for the second time, perhaps, if it was hard fought, and against all odds. But mourn the sixth time winning a gold medal seems a bit naive. You can sort not expect to win if not?
