HAHA! a small ray of shining light in the pit of darkness called the obama “rule!”
the teenagers and young adults wanting to be “professional students” or welfare mommas are going to have hissy fits once they realize what they have to do!
unfortunately there are some that look forward to this.... from us news article on 401k take overs. a obama fan... "I'm encouraged that Obama will make our senior citizens earn their paychecks. Michelle spoke at length that people will be made to work and there will be no shortages of volunteering opportunities. Let's clean up our streets, get seniors out raking leaves, picking up trash, cleaning up dog droppings in our parks, mowing city property, mentoring children in the schools and serving other useful functions. Every government dollar provided should be met with enthusiastic joy and reciprocity by the receiving citizen. An idle citizen is an unappreciated citizen." http://www.usnews.com:80/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/10/23/would-obama-dems-kill-401k-plans.html
rereading this persons statement, one could conclude the community service does not apply to them? only the retired? we may have a full liberal meltdown after all;)

An idle citizen is an unappreciated citizen.

That's what Joseph Stalin said before he killed off all the "useless eaters".

I think that comment was parody, CMinMI :)

a obama fan... “I’m encouraged that Obama will make our senior citizens earn their paychecks. “”

I am just days away from 69 y/o.
I have worked and paid taxes since I was 16.
I have earned the soc sec I contributed to.

I didn’t “claim a SSI disability” to start sucking out of Soc Sec at age 21.
I didn’t use drugs. I didn’t drink and drive. I didn’t impact the judicial system.
I didn’t get a “new scooter” from the “Scooter store” for free thru medicare.
I didn’t get a lawyer to get SSI when I didn’t deserve it.

I worked. I still work.
There are so many phony people who are claiming all kinds of disabilities so they can sit on their behinds and collect SSI, it is really an epidemic.

“Share the American Experience?””
Michelle-—this is the woman who claimed that the first series of stimulus checks of “ONLY” $600 “wasn’t enough to buy a decent pair of earrings”.

Somehow, I don’t think she has had the same “American Experience” that I and many of my friends have enjoyed.
None of us have ever bought a $600 pair of earrings. That was the price of my house payment....which I paid from 1966 forward.
