My friend did a great write-up of the Obama's "secret plan" for "universal voluntary service," which can be read here.
Two quick blurbs about the Obamajunge:
Middle-High school age children get to throw in 50 hours per year. College students, many of whom get to pay for thier own education at a state school, get to chip in 100 hours per year, or twelve and a half eight-hour Saturdays. Sign me up!
And what about more "underprivilaged" neighborhoods? Will a youngin' in inner city Oakland be willing to chip in 50 hours if he/she already has to work 30 hours per week to help support their family? How many would even care anyway? This is assuming that, given crime rates in cities such as Oakland, that they are not already engaging in court-orderd community service. But hey, whatever doesn't kill them can only make them more pissed off.
Not to mention, think of the irony! Obama mandating the youth of the nation to engage in unpaid service?
Sorry that the quality of the writing is not quite up to snuff, I have been exhaused of late. I do hope, however, that the sentiment comes across without entirely sounding like an Obamambot-style rant.
