Obama: Call on us to help. Call soon and call often
An open letter to President elect Barack Obama:
Sir,
I call on you to call on us – as soon as possible and often. We are here. We are eager. One of the reasons, maybe the prime reason, we elected you is because we want to be called on. We want to be better. We know that you can’t do it alone. We have united behind you because we believe that you can unite us. That you will call on us.
After 9/11 all we were called upon to do was shop. And look where that got us.
We don’t need specifics – but we need to hear that you will fulfill this part of the promise, that we can begin to get ready for another magnificent American effort. The kind not accomplished by politicians working in Washington, but our leaders and the people working together.
Otherwise the moment will be lost. Again.

“We don’t need specifics – but we need to hear…that we can begin to get ready for another magnificent American effort” Don’t worry about that Corinne, I would not be overly concerned that Obamamessiah is going to overwhelm you with specificity. You may drown in platitudes, but a specific thought will never cross your path. By the way, effort towards what?
You sound like a lost second-grader- “we want to be called on”. If there’s something you want accomplished, put your hand down and get off your rear and do it! Since when do you need to be told what to do by the government? You’re like human Playdoh!!
