You can bank on it. They want to control every aspect of your life. I think Obama already knows he is a one-term “president”.

The strings attached will make it impossible for groups like NRA, etc to use this funding. You can bet on it.

"encourage senior volunteerism by providing a $1,000 reward to individuals age 55 and older who perform 350 hours of service"
So Boomers will be put to work for less than $3 an hour. I guess minimum wage doesn't apply after age 55.
Then Obama will say that the Boomers (who paid into Social Security for forty-plus years) don't need Social Security since they have their new "volunteer" jobs.
I get it.

Too bad they never passed the Mary Jo Kopechne Personal Responsibility Act of 1969.

"I think Obama already knows he is a one-term president."
You can't be serious.
With ACORN to provide the taxpayer-funded vote fraud, and a Democrat Congress to change the Presidential Term-Limit Law, this guy thinks he's President For Life.

Why is it I start to feel like that woman in CT who was mauled by chimp everytime I read that one of Barky’s legislative proposals is voted and approved?

This is like a weird little bribe for old people because seniors and baby boomers retirement is totally screwed because of the election of Obama.
The market started tanking after Hillary “lost” the nomination. I cannot believe Republicans voted for this. They have no clue.
