Proud American Beyoncé is ready to help out President-elect Barack Obama in any way for Inauguration Day. “I’m there. I can’t wait,” the singer told the Associated Press. “I feel like all of us, we’re ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want — if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready.” Beyoncé was originally slated to be in Japan on election night to promote her new album, but patriotism got the best of her. “I said, ‘What am I doing? I’m completely making a bad decision. I have to go home. I’m gonna kill myself if I'm not home in America,'” she revealed. “I knew I needed to be here.”
