In April, Obama signed into law the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which tripled the size of the AmeriCorps community service program.
"Read my lips. Volunteer for community service."
(Birds of a a feather.)

Just like a socialist - always wanting more from the taxpayer, whether it's cash or labor. I do my civic duty by obeying the law, voting in every election, paying my taxes, keeping my home neat and presentable, keeping my children out of trouble, and even being polite to everyone I meet when I'm able (some people don't merit politeness, but I do try).
I don't owe society another G-d damn thing.

Don’t community service jobs just compete with some minimum wage/entry level jobs?

I can’t stand him, either.
Was working for a boat dealer at the time, making $ 80k a year.
We were out of business within a year of him passing his tax increase. Business in place for more than 50 years. Done in by GHWB in a year.
I’m no fan.

Good grief - stay out da bushes!

Socialists love spending other peoples’ hard-earned money. But what will they do when the well runs dry?

Yet they all live in the lap of luxury. Go sell what you have, give to the poor & then perhaps I’ll follow your lead.

“Its all one big f*ing club and we are the waiters.”
Well said.
When the government (local, state, or feds) organizes any type of “volunteerism” run like crazy.
If it doesn’t come from the heart, it isn’t heart felt.
Remember, Obama is the only person in the world who can make COMMUNITY seem like a 4-letter word.

Now,showing up to work in a homeless shelter wearing $600 sneakers is *my* kind of "community service".

The elder Bush's noblesse oblige leads him to adopt another fatherless boy president.

Yet they all live in the lap of luxury. Go sell what you have, give to the poor & then perhaps Ill follow your lead. Exactly! When these elitist scumbags sell their 25 million dollar homes on the Malibu cliffs and start living in $250K houses in Encino *then* I'll believe that they're sincere about helping the less fortunate.Study after study show that the red states are the most generous when giving to charity while a state like Massachusetts,one of the richest (and most Marxist) in the country,is close to being last on the list.

Socialists love spending other peoples hard-earned money. But what will they do when the well runs dry? Nationalize Healthcare. Nationalize Oil industry, Nationalize Pharmaceuticals, Nationalize Wal-Mart.
Then close the borders with an Iron Curtain so no companies or doctors can leave.

I can’t believe GHWB would in any way associate himself with Obama. I know they’re “birds of a feather”, but BHO is out in the world slamming GHWB’s son!

No Worries Dix. There will be a few thousand protesters there for King Obama come Saturday. I’m sure no media outlet will cover THAT part of the Bush/Obama Party, but they will be there.
