fired up, ready to go!

I love this (especially the details like a gold tooth and a church hat).
Obama, we miss you.
I wonder how many he times he would get down
about anything from the state of affairs to his desire to make a change
leading up to 2008 and then especially 2012.



The Story of an Iconic Obama Campaign Chant, Animated
Video by Dan Fipphen and Elyse Kelly

Barack Obama’s “Fired up, ready to go” cheer became a staple of his appearances when he was campaigning for the 2008 election. In the short animation Fired Up, he explains its origins in the small town of Greenwood, South Carolina. With audio of Obama telling the story as the soundtrack, the film combines original animation by 12 artists from around the world. It was produced by Dan Fipphen and Elyse Kelly.
