I don't see why people are so blinded by their bias, and their hate for Bush to support some of Obama's ideas.
Ideas such that Obama is going to require Highschool's and Middle Schools to ensure their students do 50 hours of community service each in order to recieve Federal Aid. HE IS going to require 2 years of service in the military, or one of his corps after HS.


In the same questioning of Obama, it was asked if he favored mandatory service in order to have enough military. Obama said, and I paraphrase, that he would favor mandatory service, for both a civilian side and military side, which would make all young Americans responsible to participate in our country's conflicts. This is the institution of a draft for both males and females. So that means "All" of America's children, and future grandchildren would be in the service to America's protection, and in time of war, because the civilian side will also serve in the war zone without exception. Obama's approach to volunteers was a bigger control by government to organize people of all ages to a mandatory service. He said a democracy should have an active participation of all ages. I think his mantra was Active Democracy. To read Obama's actual words please see the "Transcript for 9/11 President Service Forum at Columbia University". It becomes clear right after his comments on his grandfather's service in World War II. (clipsandcomment.com)
