Obama says we are “right to be concerned” but to focus on “hope.” WE’RE TRYING.

After a prolonged period of silence, former President Barack Obama spoke at a Democratic National Committee Fundraiser in California last night and offered a few words of wisdom.

“You are right to be concerned,” Obama said. As Politico reported, he cautioning the crowd: “Do not wait for the perfect message, don’t wait to feel a tingle in your spine because you’re expecting politicians to be so inspiring and poetic and moving that somehow, ‘OK, I’ll get off my couch after all and go spend the 15-20 minutes it takes for me to vote.”
