Why Barack Obama can be scary

Have you heard what his wife's been saying lately?

"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."

Gosh--I didn't know presidents could "demand" that we not be cynical; and it's scary to think that a chief executive would not "allow" one to be uninvolved. Talk about activist government.
