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, that you move out of your comfort zones. 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 eight years from now, you will have to be engaged. – Michelle Obama

The Obamas can have my cynicism when they pry it from my cold, dead hands. (so to speak) Divisions? Isn’t that part of what makes America great? And how are we going to eliminate such thoughtcrime? And as to being informed, involved and engaged? No one has been able to force that yet.
