Michelle Obama wrote:"That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the ONLY person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation."
"Barack Obama WILL REQUIRE YOU to work. He is going to DEMAND that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation and that you move out of your comfort zone. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage.
Barack will NEVER ALLOW YOU to go back to your lives as usual – uninvolved, uninformed – you have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, YOU WILL HAVE TO BE ENGAGED."
I refuse to shed my cynicism! Or be engaged!
Dammit Bush, you just had to screw up the last four years, and now we get this. You just couldn't appoint, (or allow him to name himself) Dick Cheney as dictator or life, just had to let the democratic process continue.
Blegh, Obama is the most disenchanting and depressing politican in my lifetime.
