-- Update 11/11/08 - The PC Free Zone of July 16, 2008 reproduces Barack Obama's words calling
for a civilian national security force. That blog has also posted an enlarged picture of the "Obama Youth" poster (at right) which contains a Michelle Obama quote. "Hot Air" has reproduced her entire quote:
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.
