Now we are in the hyper-excited mode. Will he really call for a new declaration? The word was a significant component of his Baltimore train stop speech on Saturday. There is little doubt he will ask us to help. He has always called this a participatory election. We are ready. It’s been a long time since we, the people, have had a voice, have spoken, and been heard. We are delighted.

Everyone is so upbeat. It’s as if the world is on Zoloft. We are flying high and recognizing that we can contribute. That we are being asked to think for the greater good, of others. We are ready. Why not? This is not a job for one single individual. It is too hard. We must all roll up our sleeves and help save this great nation.

If it’s energy you want, you’ve got it. The soon-to-be President exudes energy and commitment and we can listen and learn. We need to stand with him and help him over the hurdles he has inherited. We can participate. Every aspect of our great nation stands ready to muster the call.

We are ready, soon-to-be President Barack Obama.
