For me, yeah. Obama=country and my fellow citizens.
I'm not going to be very good at expressing this, but I made a personal vow right at the start of the primary season, if Obama were to win the election, I'd make it a point to step up to the plate and do something.
On a local level, community service, volunteering, something, to help someone else or something else. I've got two things in mind I can give time (and money) to, literacy, reading programs for adults and kids, and local work, I was going to go for AIDS work and education, but dammit, the Prop 8 thing has made me mad, so I am going to spend some time on this. Channel the anger about the unfairness into action, what else can I do? I cannot just let this slide.
Anyway, my who feeling about the Change and Yes We Can is just that, it's not only Obama who has made a pledge (he will do what he can in DC and around the world), at home, it's up to me to do my part.
