I would amend President Obama's statement slightly, "GET ANGRY...AND VOTE!" Anger is a fuel. Like any fuel, it is important for aiding in propulsion, but like any fuel, it is also corrosive if it is allowed to sit for too long. We need to use the anger to vote, to be active, to call our representatives, etc... We should not dwell on the anger and allow it to corrode us into inaction and despair.
