Keep Your Promise, Obama.
Keep your promise of the first rightfully elected 21st Century American President.
Keep your promise as a uniquely qualified leader for a perception management-addled nation and world.
Keep your promise as a child of the progressive era, exposed to the dramas and dreams and daringness that defined that time.
Keep your promise for audacity and for hope, for vision and inclusionary policies.
Keep your promise as an inspiration to others, that they may achieve, they can make a difference, they will build community, they will be leaders.
Keep your promise as a work in progress, not yet defined by leaning too far toward the big money and too far from the little people.
Keep your promise as a parent, with a family growing before the nation's eyes, to let them be normal and return normalcy to American families.
Keep your promise for reaching the presidency in the first place, unavoidably compromised by the process and potentially still connected to the regular folk who got you there.
Keep your promise as a commander in chief to bring our people home.
Keep your promise to the Constitution and the nation, to preserve, protect and defend; to dismantle the imperial powers claimed by your predecessor.
Keep your promise as a citizen of the world to a planet that needs you to be the president you have the promise to be.
