United States Of Amnesia

Some people have to chill, take a long look at our current situation and try to put the pessimism and cynicism of the past 8 years behind them. Division was Bush's method. We're looking forward now. We're coming together.

"Two years from now, I want the American people to be able to say, "Government's not perfect; there are some things Obama does that get on my nerves. But you know what? I feel like the government's working for me. I feel like it's accountable. I feel like it's transparent. I feel that I am well informed about what government actions are being taken. I feel that this is a President and an Administration that admits when it makes mistakes and adapts itself to new information, that believes in making decisions based on facts and on science as opposed to what is politically expedient." Those are some of the intangibles that I hope people two years from now can claim."

- Barack Obama, president-elect.
