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. Obamas 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.

Good idea. Put that huge Democrat constituency, the parasites, to work for one day a year.

We already have about 113 days of $%&#% service, Mr. Zero.
LOL! very succinct. ;-)
Count on me to sit on my butt and FReep all day.
I am inspired by your committment. I too shall serve in similar fashion. In addition, I will organize a neighborhood Ammo Purchase for the Poor, and engage in some much-needed shooting practice. I love serving!
Employers beware...ready yourself for the onslaught of requests for days off on January 19th. They will tell you that Obama requests it. Oh, and pay them for the day too.
Guess we needs t’be practising our chain gang songs.
I can think of no greater service to the nation than if all his Sheeple purchased a one way ticket that day to the country of their choice from the following list:
Kenya
Iran
Mexico
Saudi Arabia
Russia
Pakistan
Bon voyage!
Flush twice.
It’s a long way to D.C.
I swear I think Saddam is alive and working as a secret advisor for someone.
...OK, I can give time to help those in need. The fact that you can compare a call to help with this???
Is this like “Call In Gay” Day?
As for me and mine, we will make that day a day of prayer to the living God.
Hey Hussein:
FU!
...cleaning my guns that day. Yeah, that's it.
Is this another one of those things we should call in gay for?
Obama is another one out of touch with the real world. Many people are already doing much more than a day a year.
Don’t you actually have to be President first before you can start issuing proclamations?
I proclaim January 20 “Kiss My A**, Obama!” Day.
