Barack Obama is calling for a national day of service to take place on Jan. 19, the federal holiday for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and the day preceding Mr. Obama’s inauguration as president.

Mr. Obama and Joseph R. Biden Jr. are planning to roll up their sleeves themselves that day and perform some as-yet-unspecified service work in Washington, D.C.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee is putting the wheels for the project in motion with calls and e-mails to national service organizations. The committee is reaching out to organizations of all sizes and ideologies, including faith-based groups, unions and businesses as well as political groups — from Moveon.org on the left to Focus on the Family on the right — to motivate their members to participate.

Note MoveOn.Org is one of the listed groups...He is asking people do political work for himself and other Dems, under guise of "helping" communities.

.... from Moveon.org on the left to Focus on the Family on the right — to motivate their members to participate.

Good luck on getting Focus on the Family. Or any other right wing group.

As for me? I'll serve. I have the day off.

Count on me to sit on my butt and FReep all day.

Wouldn’t that put a dent in the daytime TV ratings. It would be a good “learning experience” for liberals though.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I’m there! Save my ass Obama!

[correctthought]

I do my gov’t “volunteer work” on the 15th day of the 4th month each year.

Feeding the poor,...to the poorer. Eat the richer? Wealth and class warfare, it's a relative morality.

I’m going to serve myself a nice thick Porterhouse steak.

Screw Obama.

[Funee Kat]

I think it’s a great idea. How about a ‘national day of service’ where the government actually serves the citizens?

[Cowboy Bob]

In the Soviet Union, there was a national day of service - April 22 (Lenin’s Birthday/Earth Day).

I'll say. They are finishing up their big dig... for the grave of the Republic. And they expect help from the people they plan to bury.

May the Lord have mercy on America.

This “fool” (bad word substituted) is going to continue to PO more and more people. He is going to rile us up to the point of no return. Well, I’m ready for it.
