Former U.S. president Barack Obama, marking the retirement of the woman credited with popularizing the chant 'Fired up, ready to go!' that epitomized his campaigns, says her energy played a key role in lifting his spirits and his candidacy.
Edith Childs, the woman behind the "Fired up, ready to go" chant of the 2008 Obama campaign, stands on stage with Tom Steyer ahead of a campaign town hall on Feb. 10, 2020, in Rock Hill, S.C. Former U.S. president Barack Obama, marking the retirement of the woman credited with popularizing the chant "Fired up, ready to go!" that epitomized his campaigns, says her energy played a key role in lifting his spirits and his candidacy.
"Leadership and power and inspiration can come from anywhere," Obama said in the video to mark Childs' retirement after 24 years on the Greenwood County Council. "It just has to do with spirit, and nobody embodied that better than Edith." "Once we sang that song, it reminded us that, no matter what, we have to remain fired up and ready to go, and be prepared for whatever confronts you," she said.
