Barack Obama on Individual Responsibility

I like listening to Barack Obama more after he's done playing politics. He can be more honest and not pander to the inanity of public opinion.

This plea for individual responsibility comes from an interview with Bill Maher:

Change doesn't come from on high. If you're waiting for congress then you're gonna be waiting a long time. Even a pretty capable well meaning president is only going to be able to take a country so far without ordinary people across the country being engaged, being involved, being active.

They also talk about atheists in politics, GMOs (where Bill Maher is rather uninformed), bias in the media. He is especially interesting on the military industrial complex.
