Obamas Press Conference

Did anyone see the whole thing the other day? It was either friday or saturday. I only caught part of it where he was saying (i think) That he wants everyone to do 50 hours a year of community service and it would be mandatory.
Like I said I did'nt catch it all and maybe got it wrong but it would be really disturbing if I heard correctly.

I never heard it was mandatory. I heard it was a $4,000 tuition tax credit in exchange for community service for college students/grads.

That would be quite a deal for doing something as simple as joining Big Brothers/Big Sisters and throwing around a ball for a year.

You heard correctly. He is pushing for conscription. When some blogs and media watchers noticed it, his staff quickly began scrubbing the website to remove any reference to it.

Ya' know, I got SO good at ignoring the drivel coming from the White House during the insurrection of IDIOT 1.0 (KLIN-TON I), that I'm fairly certain, I will be able to COMPLETELY ignore ALL drivel from IDIOT 2.0 (OBAMINATION).

Get what you need you KNOW you gotta have - prepare accordingly, for what you KNOW is gonna come - and then watch for the flag... meet up with ya' at the bridge...
