Is anyone else excited by Obama's post-election soon to be initiatives? [View all]

I'm so glad he's going to continue to be a force! The three things below are EXACTLY the kinds of things I've been thinking about. Great minds...
Here are the 3 I know about.

To Rehabilitate Democratic Party, Obama Plans To 'Coach' Young Talent
www.npr.org

I'm still hoping to rev up some excitement for this as well. It's like the first but focuses on geography more than age.

The first bright message I heard was that he was interested in looking into gerrymandering, but I don't have a link for that.
