Michelle Obama:
"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 need to shed your cynicism because Obama needs it all for himself:

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Barack Obama's senior economic policy adviser
privately told Canadian officials to view the debate in Ohio over
trade as "political positioning," according to a memo obtained by The
Associated Press that was rejected by the adviser and held up Monday
as evidence of doublespeak by rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The memo is the first documentation to emerge publicly out of the
meeting between the adviser, Austan Goolsbee, and officials with the
Canadian consulate in Chicago, but Goolsbee said it misinterprets what
he told them. The memo was written by Joseph DeMora, who works for the
consulate and attended the meeting.
"Noting anxiety among many U.S. domestic audiences about the U.S.
economic outlook, Goolsbee candidly acknowledged the protectionist
sentiment that has emerged, particularly in the Midwest, during the
primary campaign," the memo said. "He cautioned that this messaging
should not be taken out of context and should be viewed as more about
political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans."
