"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."
~Michelle Obama

Bam. I hated that statement then and hate Michelle for saying it. Even moreso now.

The arrogance is astounding, isn’t it? And presumptuous to boot!
Most high schools already have opportunities for volunteerism. My daughter has DECIDED on her own to get involved.
Also, I can imagine no organization wants kids that don’t want to be there. It creates more work for them!
